Henry was assigned the most troubling task and that was to bring back Sayaka Mutsu to HQ. Among the members of the Mercenary Club, Sayaka was the hardest to locate.
Henry was currently tracking her down near the capital city of the Granado Empire. It has been five days since Henry started his search for Sayaka, and he finally found a trace of her in Rektor City the capital city of the Granado Empire.
'Damn it, why am I the one who gets this kind of target! She could be anyone at this point. The Mutsu's ability to blend into their environment is legendary. They even have those realistic looking masks, that can make them look like anyone. She could even have taken a real citizen's identity, which would make my search even harder.'
Henry hated going to Rektor since the people in the Capital City of the Granado Empire were widely known to be crazy. In this city there are three factions present. The first one were the those loyal to the current Emperor. The second faction were people who believe that the Emperor must be the strongest person in the Empire. While the last faction were people that were loyal to the senate.
Then there was also the fourth hidden faction, those that believed that the Granado Empire should change. They were the people who believed that the Berdonians have the right to their own freedom. They were the people who didn't like the conquering ways of the Empire. Among the factions there the only ones who stayed hidden, since they were the weakest group, and their ideology wasn't welcomed by the majority of the Granado Empire citizens.
With all these various factions in the capital, everyone was always alert in the Capital City. There was even a saying that here in Rektor if one doesn't know how to scheme or fight, then you were nothing but a dead body.
...
Henry didn't want to mess around with these fanatics so he wanted to leave as fast as he can. If he was caught by one of those factions, especially the faction that claims strength is everything, he would be placed in an arena to fight until he dies.
One of the more famous forms of entertainment in the capital, was the underground fighting ring. The people who fought there were slaves, people in debt, battle junkies, and of course prisoners of war. Once you enter the underground fighting ring you may never leave.
...
Henry kept on searching through the city while hacking into the security cameras of the city. He didn't dare question the citizens, since they might do something crazy.
...
After a few hours of searching Henry was able to find a footage that seemed important. from the mountainside of the city, a shadowy figure that couldn't be properly caught on camera appeared. He came from from the mountain's forest area, and entered the city. The shadowy figure was being followed by someone else, another person that was also able to easily avoid the sight of the security cameras.
While Henry was tracing where these two have disappeared to, he suddenly did a dodge roll. He looked at his surroundings and saw no one was there.
'Did I imagine that?... No that's impossible, someone else is here.' Henry was currently inside a hotel where he rented a room which had two bedrooms. After checking the whole room, and seeing no one, Henry still didn't let his guard down. His instincts have told him that something was wrong, and up to this point his instincts have never led him astray.
Henry was currently holding onto a pistol and a combat knife as he warily looked at his surroundings while backing onto a corner of the room. He stood there in that corner without letting his guard down for three hours straight.
...
While waiting for the opponent to strike, Henry could already guess who this person attacking him was. The only people that have this much skill in stealth were the Mutsu's and currently the strongest Mutsu, Shadow was here. Seeing as Henry was looking for Shadow's cousin, it was obvious that Shadow would come to strike him down.
'Damn playing a game of attrition with these level of assassins isn't good for me. I'm obviously going to be the first to fold.' It was at this point that the hunter suddenly became the hunted.
Henry started to clench his teeth as he started to think of the best solution to win at this moment. While Henry was thinking of a solution to his problem, he started to think about Richter, he couldn't understand what that guy was thinking sending him to capture someone like Sayaka.
Among the ten he was the second weakest of the group, which made it weird to send him to face someone of this level. 'How does Richter expect me to face off with someone like Shadow? As usual our leader is so f*cking unreasonable.'
...
An hour more passed and Henry still couldn't move from his position. That was when he suddenly thought of something. He didn't know if Sayaka was here, but if she was he might have a chance.
"Shadow and Sayaka Mutsu, I know you two are here. I'm Henry from the organization called the Shadow Mercenaries." Henry suddenly shouted, but as expected no one responded.
"I've come to give you an invitation to attend a celebration for your friend Alexander. All of your friends will be there as well, Rachel, Emily, Evangeline, Niel, Kei, and even Oliver will be there."
When Henry said Oliver's name he saw something move beside the closet. Henry started shooting at that position where he saw the movement, but nothing happened. At this point Henry was getting a bit irritated.
"Fine, if you don't want to come then you don't need to. I already told you about the celebration, if you don't come, I'm sure your friends might be a little disappointed... Oh right, I heard that Oliver was hurt pretty badly when-" It was then Henry saw that someone was already beside him. He slashed at the shadowy figure, and then out came Sayaka who was hiding in the shadows.
Henry didn't follow up his attack on Sayaka, since he knew, the moment he strays away from the corner would be the moment he dies. Since there was still the more threatening Shadow hiding in the room. So for now henry decided to talk to Sayaka.
"So Sayaka, are you coming to the celebration?"
