Dealing with this ghost soldier wasn’t taxing for Evan. Like the previous ghost servant, he easily extrapolated all the information he needed.
Vincent Wolf now knew the location of the Hundred Ghost Club Qingchuan Island Branch.
However, Vincent found the location of this branch a little strange.
This branch office was located in an office building in the busiest area of Qingchuan Island.
What was more interesting was that the Patrol Team’s headquarters was not far from the office building.
‘…Are they this outrageous? Or do they think the most dangerous place is also the safest? Perhaps, they are playing a game of hide in plain sight?”
Although it eluded him, Vincent believed that the information he had gathered was correct.
This time, however, Vincent did not plan to single-handedly infiltrate their base.
At first, Vincent thought of doing it, but he discovered during the interrogation that although there were no Grandmaster-Level Beast Tamers in the base, they had installed many Mechanical pets as security measures.
If he were to go unprepared, he would surely get caught, akin to being stuck inside a barrel with no escape, and be riddled with holes.
So, Vincent came up with a good plan.
“What! You’re saying, you have found the location of the Hundred Ghost Club branch on Qingchuan Island?!”
Island Owner Iwashita Hisao slapped the table, stood up, and incredulously looked at Vincent.
“Yes, and besides that, I have also brought a ghost soldier and two ghost servants from within the Hundred Ghost Club. If you don’t believe me, you can interrogate them yourself.”
“Are you sure the location is correct? Is it accurate?”
“You can choose not to believe me, but it is a fact that I have captured their ghost soldier. If he doesn’t return and causes suspicion, don’t blame me for not warning you. Also, I brought two recorded videos of me interrogating them.” After saying this, Vincent showed the video to the Island Owner.
While Iwashita Hisao was watching the recording, Vincent thought to himself, “I only promised to help destroy the Club’s branch on this island, but I never said I would do it alone. I have given you their location and three prisoners. That’s quite a contribution. Leave the suicidally heroic actions to you while I stay out of this.”
After Iwashita Hisao finished watching the video, without any hesitation, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number, and made a call. In a few seconds, the call was through. Iwashita Hisao shouted into the phone,
“Quickly, mobilize your men, we have found the location of the Hundred Ghost Club!”
“Don’t question if it’s correct or not, just get on with it! If you are late and they escape, I will hold you fully responsible!”
“They also possess quite a number of Mechanical pets. Send a specialized counter-mechanical team!”
“Tell your Captain to participate… He must participate, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade is not an excuse. That’s it!”
After saying this, Iwashita hung up the phone abruptly. The anger on his face vanished instantly and was replaced with a broad smile,
“The young truly are heroic. Mr. Vincent, you’ve managed to locate our formidable opposition’s lair within a short span of twenty-four hours. Truly extraordinary. ”
“Oh, no, it’s just that your hands here on the island are tied due to the coming of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, enabling the Hundred Ghost Club to establish a foothold here. If you had investigated for another day or two, you could have reached the same conclusion, perhaps even sooner.” Vincent humbly replied.
“You’re giving those good-for-nothings too much credit. Let’s not dwell on that. Didn’t you mention you wanted me to find someone for you last time? Was it…’
Upon hearing this, Vincent knew that this old man certainly didn’t take the matter seriously and had already forgotten what he was supposed to search for.
“It’s about locating the non-indigenous high-level Beast Masters who appeared on Qingchuan Island, and more extensively, in the whole Archipelago Alliance, in recent years. If locating them in the entire Archipelago Alliance is difficult, you could start with Qingchuan Island.”
“Yes, of course. Let’s exchange contact details. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”
Although Vincent had some doubts about his credibility, he had no better solution at the moment.
Vincent left the Island Master Mansion.
On the way, Vincent suddenly remembered something very important.
He asked the Dragon of Miracles and Fantasies in his mind:
“I want to ask, if I don’t intervene, will any anomalies related to Miao Shihe occur during the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade in the Archipelago Alliance?”
“Yes.”
“I knew it! There must be a plot behind him coming here at this time!”
Vincent’s question was prompted by the words of the Island Owner earlier.
He said that in the months approaching the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, they usually send home the non-indigenous high-level Beast Tamers. Only a small number of special Beast Tamers are allowed to stay, and they have to participate in the resistance against the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade and are kept under close watch.
This happened because in the past, foreign Beast Tamers caused trouble during this time, causing significant damage to the Archipelago Alliance. Now, they preemptively send these Beast Tamers away to prevent such incidents.
So according to Iwashita Hisao, the Grandmaster-Level Beast Tamers currently in the Archipelago Alliance, aside from those aiding the Archipelago Alliance, would only be those harboring ill intentions.
“Miao Shihe clearly has sinister motives, the question is how he plans to carry them out?”
As Vincent walked on the road, he contemplated this question. “If I put myself in Miao Shihe’s shoes, what would I do in this situation?”
“Before the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, the vigilance and defenses of the Archipelago Alliance would be at their peak. He definitely wouldn’t act then.” “So, when would he act?”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t choose to act in the early stages of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade. Firstly, the combat strength of the Archipelago Alliance would still be at its peak, and secondly, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade has yet to reach its climax, thus not causing a significant impact on the Archipelago Alliance.”
“I would choose to act during the most powerful mid -to-late stages or at the end of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, ensuring maximum results.” “How would I maximize the Archipelago Alliance’s losses?”
“Would I ambush the fighting Grandmaster Beast Tamers, the King Beast
Trainers? Or would I provoke the Demon Beasts in the middle of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade? Or create some strange rumors?”
There are many possible methods, but Vincent feels that these are childish. These could not deal significant damage to a country-level entity like the Archipelago Alliance.
Could it be that Miao Shihe had traveled from thousands of miles away to just create minor chaos?
That’s clearly impossible.
Not to mention, he was in contact with the Abyssal Demon Realm as well.
Could it be…
Miao Shihe plans to launch an attack with the Abyssal Demon Realm during the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade?
