nBM12 Campsite,

n“Destination?” a man in the white coat asked.

n“Fashia,” a masked man replied.

nThis place was built by the Black Market for the teleportation of goods and people for various illegal organizations worldwide.

nOnly those with a Shadow Card could use these, and the number of such cardholders could be counted on one’s fingers. Most elite families didn’t need such a way, as they had their own Teleportation Gates for such matters.

nBut Asher wasn’t going to use the one that the Greville Family used.

nThe number of Shadow Card holders was limited. Milson gave Asher the shadow card because he was trading Pure Mana Crystals, which were challenging to come by.

nIf the sudden demand from the higher-ups of the Black Market hadn’t been so high, getting a Shadow Card would have been tough. But Milson gave him the Shadow Card because not only did Asher trade Pure Mana Crystals, but he also used the Black Chamber for his trade.

nThis meant that Asher had good connections with the elite families, so they had no doubt that giving Asher a Shadow Card could become troublesome for them.

nThis was because all of the Shadow Cardholders knew their limits. They only did things that allowed them to stay out of the radar of the most significant powers in the world. This was also the reason Louis Rothschild’s request was denied.

nThere were few families, even among the elite families, that such organizations stayed away from, and all of them had an SSS Rank Hunter in them.

nBut Milson had no way of knowing that Asher would destroy the unspoken rule maintained by organizations like Spyder.

nEven if he did, he would not try to stop Asher.

nIn his eyes, if any of the Shadow Card holders did something like that, it was their fault for whatever consequences would fall on them later.

n“And where should we go from here?” Dane muttered to himself as he surveyed his surroundings while Kai stopped the car.

nDane and Kai stepped out of the car, and Dane opened the door for Asher.

nAll three of them were wearing black masks and armored clothing.

nKai looked at his surroundings; they were in the middle of a forest outside Soran.

nAs the three of them were walking, many men wearing masks on their faces appeared suddenly.

nAsher looked at them; most were A Rank Hunters, with a few S Rank Hunters.

n“Identity,” a man spoke, looking at them.

nHearing him, Dane brought out the Shadow Card as he raised his hand and showed them the card.

nThe man who asked for their identity walked near Dane as he brought out a particular device.

n

nSeeing that the card was real, he stepped back and pointed in a particular direction inside the dense forest.

nAfter pointing once, all of them returned to their initial positions, not bothering the three.

nDane and Kai were familiar with such things, as they had seen one of the higher-ups of Spyder use a similar card.

n“Let’s go,” Dane said as he looked deeper into the forest.

nThe actual campsite was 2 km away from the security checkpoint, and all of it was covered with security runes that didn’t allow anyone to enter unless they had a Shadow Card.

nAsher had the original Shadow Card, and the one that Dane, Kai, and Tom were using was under his Shadow Card.

nThe three of them ran in that direction. Dane and Kai matched Asher’s speed, but it was surprising that Asher could move that fast for a D Rank Hunter.

n“So this is the place,” Dane said as he looked at the huge campsite before him.

nMany people wearing masks could be seen coming in and out of it.

nDane looked around as he saw a guy walking back and forth. And looking at the mask he was wearing, it was easy to know that it was Tom.

n“Yo,” Dane waved his hand to make Tom notice them.

nTom turned as he looked at the source of the voice. He could see three men standing together, and by looking at their masks, he instantly knew who they were.

n“Are we leaving now?” Kai asked as he looked at Asher.

n“Yes,” Asher replied as he moved towards the Teleportation Gate available in front of them.

n“Did things go well at the dungeon?” Tom asked Dane, who raised his thumb in response.

nThey arrived at the Teleportation Gate as a man wearing a white coat walked towards them.

n“What’s your destination?” he asked.

n“Desmar,” Asher said, but due to the mask, his voice was fake.

n“Okay,” the man didn’t ask any further questions.

n“Use the portal over there,” he pointed at the teleportation portal far to the left.

nAsher went ahead as he entered the portal, and all three of them did the same behind him.

nThis was not a direct portal, so they would have to use a series of Teleportation Gates.

nAsher exited the Portal Gate and found himself in an underground facility with a single teleportation gate. These portals were placed in various underground facilities owned by the Black Market.

nAfter doing so a total of 8 times, they finally arrived at another abandoned location, but this place was also filled with a few masked men roaming around.

nAsher took a deep breath, and his eyes turned cold underneath his mask. They had finally arrived outside at Desmar, home to three elite families: the Rothschild, Williams, and Whiteheart.

nAnd it was once where the Garcia family was situated.

nTom took out a device and opened a small hologram map. He was looking for their next destination, which they needed to settle before commencing their mission.

n“How much time will it take before we reach here?” Tom asked Kai.

n“If we use the things we brought, it will take around 17 hours,” Kai replied as he judged the distance.

n“First, let’s get out of here,” Asher said as he flared the mana at his feet.

nDane grabbed Tom, who was the only unawakened person there.

n“Don’t scream,” Dane reminded him as they immediately dashed to exit the vicinity of this particular camp.

nWhile they were moving out, Asher looked around the terrain and noticed the people there.

nIn 10 minutes, they climbed a hill and looked around towards the massive city before them. But this was not their destination.

nKai used his spatial ring to bring out three black-colored motorbikes specially built to run using mana crystals as fuel.

nIt was something Asher purchased from his personal funds that he had acquired from the mana crystal mines.

n“Our destination is this abandoned building that is around 2000 km away from here,” Tom pointed at the map, but he was finding it hard to stand still in one place.

nHe was still nauseous from being carried like a bag by Dane throughout the forest.

n“I must do my setup here before we begin the mission,” Tom explained, as he needed a place to assist them.

n“Boss, from my calculations, they will move the artifacts 3-4 days later,” Tom looked at Asher.

nAsher looked at their destination, and it was the place where Tom would stay and guide them from. He was unawakened, and taking him along was nothing but a burden for them.

n“Take the route that he had sent to the GPS,” Asher said as he leaned over the bike.

nTom had already calculated the routes they could take, which would avoid them being spotted as much as possible.

n“You can sit with me,” Kai told Tom, who was wondering which bike he should sit on.

n“Okay,” Tom replied.

nHe got on as they started the engine. They moved from the hill to the path that would take them to their next destination.

n‘This will be tough,’ Kai thought as he was driving.

nNot only would they infiltrate a facility that housed some artifacts for the Kalvas Gala, but he also needed to watch out for Asher’s safety.

nFor him, a D Rank Hunter could not go on such a mission. If Asher had only told him and Dane to move, then Kai would have at least thought they had a chance, but there was a reason why he wanted to go there himself.

nHe needed to analyze the artifact with the system’s help to ensure they got the correct one.

nBut Kai didn’t know about it, so he was unsure about Asher coming with them.
