Chapter 250: CHAPTER 250 – Well, hello there….
//// I'm really sorry for the miss in the update!
It was storming here yesterday, I had no internet access of anything that could help me upload my chaps, so again, I'm sorry for that.
I'll try to not let that happen every again! ////
In the abandoned factory, the atmosphere was tense.
The hall was filled with 30-plus people dressed in black with only their eyes visible, and all of them waited for the signal they were supposed to receive.
*Bzzzz**Bzzzz*
Just then, a phone that was kept beside the man sitting on an elevated ground started ringing.
The man was covered in black clothes with a rune inscribed all over it, just like the others in this room. He picked up the phone and waited for the other party to speak.
"I was told to call this number when the Crimson Lotus Guild's car crosses my place."
A guy's voice was heard from the other side of the phone and as soon as the man in black heard those words, he hung up the phone.
"First checkpoint cleared."
The man announced to everyone, and the people standing in the hall clenched their hands over their weapons.
The checkpoint was a way to confirm the Crimson Lotus guild's destination.
There were three checkpoints, and if they crossed the third one, that meant their destination was fixed for the Alabama hotel.
But if by chance their destination changes, then the plan is canceled, and they are to go into hiding.
They weren't supposed to take risks of getting caught.
This group was the first and last group that could come here without going through the gate, and their value was very high for their owner.
So, even if some information about their project and experiments was found out, it was fine.
Even if they destroyed those research and experiment's results, it was fine.
Those things could be done again.
But those assassins were the one and only those people from another world had in this world.
So, if there was any sign of risk, they were ordered to hide.
*Ring**Ring*
The phone rang again, and the same guy picked it up.
"The Crimson Lotus has crossed my house…."
A lazy voice was heard from the other side of the phone and before the guy could hang up the man in black hung up the phone, he realized that the line was out already.
"The second checkpoint cleared, get ready to move out."
The man in black just shook his head before he ordered.
The other people in black didn't shout 'Yes, sir!' or something like that.
They just nodded their heads and started checking their gears.
And in just 3 minutes, the phone rang again.
*Ring**Ring*
The man in black picked up the phone and just like every time, waited for the other person to speak.
"The Crimson Lotus Guild's people just crossed my house."
A lady's voice was heard from the other side of the phone.
The man in black, who heard those words hung up the phone and threw it up in the air.
*Swoosh*
The next instant, an arrow came flying at the phone, destroying it as it passed through it.
The man in black didn't even bat an eye.
"Good job, Dus."
The man in black praised the one who shot the arrow without even looking at anyone and then he ordered.
"Move out, and don't let anyone leave alive!"
No one said anything, all of them just shot forward in a single direction, ready to kill some more people.
..................
"Look alive!"
Maggie glared at a girl whose eyes were half closed.
She looked like she would fall asleep any second.
"Y-Yes, ma'am!"
The girl hurriedly shook her head, forcing herself to stay awake.
The girl was an A-ranker, and they could stay awake longer than a normal human could, but their team had been awake for two days straight.
If that was not enough, they had been moving all around and keeping an eye on their target, which took a lot of their focus, causing their bodies to get heavy.
"All of you as well."
Maggie frowned as she looked back at the group who seemed to be dying to sleep any moment.
'What would he think if he saw them like this??'
'Can't they show a bit more energy???'
Maggie complained inwardly, but she couldn't really blame them for this.
'It was my fault for not letting them sleep….'
Maggie knew that she was at fault, but it was necessary.
'I can't do all of that work myself.'
Maggie was already keeping contact with the other teams while keeping an eye on any suspicious movements inside the hotel.
She can't be everywhere at the same time.
'Well, I'll take the blame if someone points it out…'
Maggie sighed inwardly.
As Alex had told before, she was competent, and a competent leader looks out for their subordinates.
*Vroom*
Just then, the exhausts of cars were heard and the next instant, three black cars appeared in Maggie and her team's sight.
The team straightened their backs and Maggie went back to being the happy-go-lucky girl.
She looked toward the car and waited for it to arrive with a cheery smile on her face.
'Sigh….' X5
The five girls in her team just shook their heads with a sigh.
They could never get used to the scene of Maggie changing expressions in an instant.
However, the girls right now had another problem.
'We can't show that we are sleepy right now.'
The girls exchanged a determined look with each other before they stood straight with their hands behind their backs, and chest puffed.
A competent leader will have good subordinates most of the time, so Maggie's subordinates also did their best to not get their captain embarrassed.
The car didn't take time to arrive as the cars were quite fast.
Just as the cars arrived, Maggie waved her hand and three of the girls rushed forward, opening the gates of the cars for the one inside to get out.
But….
"Huh?"
The first two cars were empty, only the driver was there.
"What the…."
Maggie frowned as she walked toward the last car.
One of the girls' opened the gate….
"Yawn….
Are we there already….?"
A lazy but enthralling voice was heard.
"Who….?"
Maggie's frown deepened since she didn't hear the voice she was expecting to hear.
Then all of them saw a stunning lady with silky pink hair flowing down her back coming out of the car.
Her eyes were shining with pink color, and just by one look, people would want to keep looking into them.
Her figure looked like something even gods would be proud that they created.
Perfectly round bust, plumb breasts that measured at least D-cup, and slim waist that would tempt anyone to hold them.
"What? Not happy to see me?"
The lady questioned in an amused tone as she looked at Maggie who was looking at the car with a frown.
It was clear that she was waiting for someone else to come out even though she knew there was no one in there.
"No, I was just expecting the guild master to be here."
Maggie replied to the lady while not hiding her frown.
"Only guild master??"
The lady inquired with a teasing smile, but Maggie didn't show any reaction to that.
"Can you tell me where they are?"
Maggie instead asked the question that she wanted to ask.
The lady, who was Luna Tuner, replied with a mysterious smile.
"They are…."
.......................
"Well, hello there…."
Alex spoke as he looked at the experienced assassin in front of him, frozen in shock, with a smile.
