/N: I hope you readers don't mind me using city names. If by coincidence you reside in the city I am mentioning you have to remember that this is just a story and I am not badmouthing any place. I am just using some city names for the convenience of my story. This is strictly fiction.

---------------------------------------------

POV Reo

"Do, you have contacts in Tehran too?

" I curiously asked Nemuri who just smirked and nodded her head.

Only a few minutes ago we arrived in the outskirts of Tehran, I had no idea why Nemuri Apparated us outside the city, after all, her nod just confirmed that she also had contacts here.

"You don't have to worry about anything. I have already contacted someone to pick us up

" Nemuri said and started towards the city. Both me and Emma were completely dumbfounded.

"When and how did you even contact someone?

" I asked incredulously.

"Aha… the local crime lord is under my Imperius. Did you know that I could still maintain the Imperious like a link if I wanted

" Nemuri exclaimed in mad glee, I didn't know that the Imperious could be maintained in such a manner.

"What's an Imperious?

" Emma asked in a confused tone.

"It's something really nifty, you know… using Imperious I can make anyone do my bidding

" Nemuri briefly explained. I guess it's good that she isn't overconfident… I would have hated it if she gave away more information. It's simple logic… as a friendly gesture you should never hide information from someone who is working with you but never give them complete information… give them enough that they would be satisfied for the moment but not enough to keep them wanting more.

It's kind of complicated to explain the thing in words you get it yourself with experience. In the HP World, all of us learned how to manipulate and get what we want through subterfuge…

When Emma heard Nemuri's explanation she was placated for the moment. Emma didn't ask for anything more… all of us were sweating because we were waiting by the roadside. I waved my hand and casted a sunscreen and a heat-blocking charm on the three of us. Emma was completely confused when she suddenly found the heat wasn't bothering her anymore. Nemuri very well knew what happened and who was responsible, she just gave me a perverted grin.

We finally saw a convoy of 4x4 trucks coming in our direction. Nemuri waved at the convoy and they stopped in front of us. It was clear that they were from the underworld, they didn't say anything and just opened the doors for us. We also didn't say anything and entered the car.

It didn't take us long to enter the city but to reach their main hideout, it took us about one and a half hours. It was a large villa, as soon as we got down from the car a pudgy man in a turban greeted Nemuri calling her Miss Oxford. I snickered after I heard her fake name. I remembered a certain joke… Nemuri decided to give me a glare.

I don't know what she talked with the pudgy man but he happily gave her one of his trucks. Well, it's quite understandable… after all, from what it looked like the pudgy man looked like the leader of this group and Nemuri had him under Imperious. Nemuri didn't even bother to thank him after he pointed towards the best truck he had. Nemrui gestured us to get in the car and we did…

"I have to say you are quite connected

" Emma said in a surprised and shocked tone.

"Hehe… what can I say. I am an avid follower of the Dao of perverseness… the whole world bows beneath my feet

" Nemuri said and started to cackle in mad glee. I professionally ignored her and Emma didn't know what to say after that so she decided to stare outside the window.

After some liberal use of the Imperious Curse on the traffic police we were able to find the place we were looking for. It was an old factory… we had no idea what could have been made in that place. Nemuri stopped the truck at some distance… we didn't want to alert them after all.

"You stay in the car. No leaving… we will go and check it out

" Nemuri said looking at Emma. Emma didn't look happy and immediately protested.

"There is no way that I will stay here. I will come with you even if you don't want me to

" Emma exclaimed but I decided that since we would be sneaking inside Emma is just going to be a bother. I pointed my finger towards her and stunned her.

I could already feel several life signs inside the place so sneaking it was.

"Good job

" Nemuri said and casted a notice-me-not charm on the car.

"Let's go now… oh, do you have those surveillance interference runes?

" While walking I suddenly remembered about those runes and asked Nemuri. Nemuri didn't say anything and handed me a parchment. I slapped the rune on the shirt and the parchment glowed and disappeared.

We finally arrived in front of the building and I pointed towards two guards hidden near the gates. If I didn't have the ability to sense people I wouldn't have found them… after all, they were very well hidden.

Both me and Nemuri were under disillusionment charm so we had nothing to worry about. We were pretty sure that they won't notice us… but for extra caution, we also casted a notice-me-not and a body heat masking charm on ourselves.

We quickly entered the building without alerting the guards, I killed them both with strong piercing hexes on their throats. Killing like this is much better if you are hiding.

I have already sensed that there were 11 more people inside the factory and decided to take care of them before checking around. I didn't know if any of the meta-humans brought here were alive or not but from the life signs, I didn't think that we were going to find someone alive. Both of us arrived in some kind of laboratory and I was kind of disturbed to see what was inside the room…

20 brains along with their eyes and spinal cords and nervous systems were being kept alive inside tanks filled with some kind of liquids. They are **ing alive… I could see their brain activity on the monitors. Neither me nor Nemuri were rocket scientists but we very well knew that they were still alive but I didn't feel their life signs because they didn't have a **ing body and blood running through their veins.

"What the hell is happening here?

" Nemuri whispered into my ears furiously. I could see fury burning in her eyes.

"I don't have a **ing clue but let's grab a lab guy and rip apart his brain

" I replied to Nemuri and she happily agreed, I am not a saint and I have done a lot of questionable things like crippling, killing, torturing someone until their mind snaps but I haven't done something like this… I didn't even know that there was technology to achieve this kind of feat.

This was actually disgusting… well whatever. We quickly moved towards the next room and found 5 guys in lab coats that were cutting apart a woman. Well, I think it was a woman since her body parts have been spread around the table. I would have saved the woman but it was too late… she was still alive only because of the machine. Her body was completely drained of blood… not a drop of blood could be seen except a big jar filled with blood.

The woman was ripped open and they were doing the same thing they have done to the twenty meta-humans. We casted a silencing charm around the room… the guys in lab coats were still busy with the woman. We dropped all five of them with a stunning spell. We decided to leave them here for later… I pulled the plug of the machine that was keeping the woman alive… as soon as I did that the woman was gone.

"First let's deal with the others

" I whispered and Nemuri nodded. Both of us decided to go on our own way. There were six more people inside the building but they were spread around. Nemuri casted a human revealing spell and confirmed what I just mentioned. I decided to go left because women are always right. Yeah, I know that was a bad joke but what can you do…??

The rest of the people inside the base were just simple guards. The first died when I AKed him in the back. The remaining two were also quickly dealt with… Nemuri also returned after she dealt with the three on her side.

"No mercy, right?

" Nemuri asked me when she grabbed the first scientist.

"No… no mercy. Rip apart their brain and leave them drooling

" I declared and grabbed another scientist from the pile.

"Legilimens

" both of us said as we dove into their minds without holding anything back…
