The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 161

Festa Eve Festival (3)

At the same time.

The two Grand Lords who received the signal rose to their feet.

It was a small room in a shabby inn, not the luxury inn ‘Night of Kyrene’ where the assassins were heading.

“They really moved exactly as expected.”

The assassins had emerged from Siren’s mansion.

The moment they heard this news, Amos and Daren simultaneously breathed sighs of relief as if they had made a promise.

‘We weren’t wrong.’

‘Siren really is…’

Even while formulating and executing the operation, there had been some doubt.

What if Siren didn’t make a move.

What if all the contents written in that letter were actually delivered with different intentions.

But that wasn’t the case.

‘That unknown man His Imperial Highness mentioned… was really right.’

Now everything was certain.

Siren would attack Kundel and Rihart, or the 2nd Prince.

Therefore, from now on it was time to execute the plan they had prepared in advance.

“What about the disguise at the Night of Kyrene inn?”

“Perfect. We left enough scent behind.”

“Good. What about the people?”

“All the employees and customers have been evacuated.”

“Good.”

They had secretly mobilized the entire ‘Night of Kyrene’ inn for this day.

When the assassins arrived there, all they would see would be empty rooms.

Amos turned his head toward Daren.

“Let’s go, Daren.”

“Ha, finally an escape. I was just starting to get annoyed.”

“You’re old enough to know better than to complain. Tsk tsk.”

Daren flares up at Amos clicking his tongue.

“Remember this well, Amos. I’m only cooperating with you because of the children!”

“Don’t you think I feel the same? You’re not a child. Hide your emotions a bit. Do you act like this in front of Celia too?”

“You want me to hide my love from my daughter?”

“Forget it. I was wrong to say anything.”

The sight of two middle-aged men, and moreover two Grand Lords who were second to none in this Empire, bickering would seem quite surreal to any stranger watching.

But no one here was surprised.

‘Here they go again, again.’

‘How do they always end up like this whenever they meet?’

It was just a familiar scene.

It only made them sigh.

Even in a situation where they were facing this absurd plan!

“Director Locus is waiting outside. Family Heads.”

“Ah, yes. I understand.”

The two who barely stopped fighting completely changed their expressions as if nothing had happened and went outside.

And thus they faced a new force.

“Eimus Kundel, Head of House, Darren Rihart, Head of House. I am Locus Abue, Personnel Director. This is Deputy Director Lena.”

It was an unexpected reinforcement.

From what they heard of the background, it seemed Locus also had something to gain from Siren.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

However, Amos had a displeased expression.

Like many Secret Arts Users, he was a savage.

Especially Locus was someone who often had bad rumors circulating about him.

‘A person who doesn’t care about means and methods.’

That was Amos’s assessment of Locus that he remembered.

“Even if you don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do. After all, aren’t we moving with a common goal?”

Locus answered as if it didn’t matter.

“Young Master Emil Siren has also promised support. He says when the situation unfolds, he’ll bring the mages who follow him.”

“I see. So that person will become the new master of Siren?”

“At least they’d be better than that bastard Remal. Isn’t he the one who tried to harm innocent students for his own purposes and even sent assassins to the Imperial Palace?”

Every word was true, but what exactly was Locus after?

He was the Personnel Director of the Academy’s Student Affairs Office, so the justification of attacking Siren for attacking students was… well.

‘There must be something more.’

The true intentions of Secret Arts Users were impossible to fathom.

But now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

“30 knights from Kundel, 20 knights from Rihart, and 30 Imperial Knights led by His Imperial Highness Prince Dietrich. The goal is for a total of 70 knights plus the remaining personnel to raid the Siren Mansion and capture Remal Siren.”

70 knights!

All of them skilled fighters at the upper Expert level.

And Amos and Daren were Master-level powerhouses.

“With the mages led by Emil joining us, we’ll have about 100 people total.”

Locus nodded at Amos’s explanation.

“Lena and I will join as well. I’ll handle the mana disruption of the mages.”

“Secret Arts?”

“What else would it be?”

Daren spoke up to Locus, who shrugged his shoulders.

“The most important thing is that we must not harm anyone except the mages who resist. Remember, our target is Remal, not Siren’s mages.”

“Daren is right. This operation is very dangerous. The Imperial Palace hasn’t officially authorized this. We can’t give other mages justification by harming the mages.”

Just raiding Siren’s mansion would be enough to anger the mages, but there was sufficient justification for the attack.

As long as the mages weren’t hurt, other mage factions wouldn’t have reason to retaliate.

“If we succeed, the Imperial Palace will acknowledge it. If we fail, the Imperial Palace will deny it.”

Locus’s analysis was accurate.

And if they failed, the 2nd Prince would be abandoned.

These three weren’t the only ones who had staked their future on this.

But this was something that had to be done.

They couldn’t leave Remal alone, not knowing what he might do next—or rather, what he had already done.

“Then, let’s begin now.”

And at the same time.

“Come in, Gilbert.”

Ziel, who had created this entire situation, entered the courtyard of Siren’s mansion with Gilbert.

Ziel had said before.

That Siren’s mansion boasted considerable security.

But Ziel easily disabled the security and entered inside.

“How on earth did you get in… I can’t believe it. How did you see that opening?”

“I just saw it.”

“Ah.”

“When breaking through security magic, observe the mana flow carefully. Then you’ll see the opening.”

But seeing that in the first place is the wall, Boss.

“By the way… it’s spacious. Siren’s mansion grounds. I felt it before when I was carrying out the mission you ordered near here, but there probably isn’t a family in this capital with territory of this size.”

Grounds that clearly revealed Siren’s desires.

In reality, Siren had no official territory other than this mansion grounds.

Because it was impossible for capital nobles to have territories due to their nature.

This is why Siren, despite being called a major family, could not be called a Great Lord family.

Of course, there was also the Imperial Family’s intention to be wary of their power growing too large.

“Yes, it’s spacious.”

Security magic would be placed throughout this vast mansion.

However, Ziel’s steps were unwavering.

“Gilbert, to the bushes.”

When security guards approached, they quickly used stealth, then moved using shadow movement.

What surprised Gilbert as he followed was the same as when they had infiltrated Blackwood’s exhibition hall before.

‘If I just follow Boss, there’s no problem.’

Even situations that seemed impossible to break through would go smoothly if he followed Boss’s instructions.

Even when security guards were gathered and they had to pass through, he would easily divert their attention.

“Did you hear something?”

“Sounds like wind.”

“That’s strange. I’ll go check.”

A boss who achieves incredibly high effectiveness through a very classical method!

“Gilbert, that roof there. As soon as the security guards scatter, we go up.”

“Yes, Boss.”

And finally, they succeeded in entering the mansion.

Siren’s mansion was spacious.

‘I smell assassins.’

A scent he immediately noticed upon entering.

A distinctive smell.

In other words, it was the scent of Black Sky that was all too familiar to Ziel.

The Black Sky hideout where he would stay after missions were completed.

That was the scent.

‘The fact that it’s spread throughout this entire mansion… means assassins are moving around inside the mansion.’

A total of 17 assassins had left Siren’s mansion.

He didn’t know how many assassins Siren had lured away from Black Sky.

What was certain was that assassins definitely remained in this mansion.

“Boss, at this time of day… the black gem should be near the mansion’s second floor.”

Gilbert recalled the information he had recorded during his mission.

Whenever deep night came, the magic stone would always point to the mansion’s second floor.

“The left side of the mansion.”

Now it was time to retrieve the black gem.

“When will the others arrive?”

“Wait a moment.”

Ziel activated the Polar Night Breathing Technique, then approached the window they had just entered through and listened carefully.

“20 minutes.”

“Pardon?”

“They’ll arrive within that time.”

“Come on.”

Gilbert thought Ziel was joking.

Of course, Boss always manages to pull off impossible things, but….

“The night is quiet. So sounds carry better.”

“…?”

No matter how hard he listened, he couldn’t hear anything.

Gilbert realized once again.

That there was little point in questioning Boss.

“Find Remal Siren and retrieve the gem within 20 minutes.”

“Understood.”

The target was where the magic stone had pointed.

Ziel advanced without hesitation.

But in the process, he disabled and avoided all existing security measures.

“Boss, what should we do? The servants keep moving around.”

They faced a slight dilemma.

When infiltrating the Blackwood Exhibition Hall, it was late at night and only security personnel remained due to the nature of the exhibition hall.

But this place was a mansion.

A place where house staff moved busily even during the night when everyone was asleep.

‘Maybe Boss knows a way to avoid them?’

Gilbert’s expectation was wrong.

“Kuk.”

Ziel lightly dealt with the servant he encountered.

He didn’t kill him.

He just pressed near the neck to knock him unconscious.

“I thought you would avoid them.”

“We’re planning to leave within 20 minutes, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Ah. Then I’ll handle the next one.”

This time Gilbert stepped forward too.

It was a drug.

“Crow’s method, I see.”

“Yes. Very effective. Would you like to try it too, Boss?”

“No need.”

“Yes.”

Ziel and Gilbert advanced, knocking out everyone they encountered.

Their objective was clear.

Remal Siren.

And the black gem he possessed.

Gilbert suddenly felt a question arise.

‘What does the Boss plan to do with Remal?’

Come to think of it, he had only said he would deal with him, but never specified exactly how.

Kill him?

Or just subdue him appropriately and hand him over to the people who would soon arrive?

‘Killing him would be the cleanest option, wouldn’t it?’

After all, this kind of work should leave no loose ends.

“The office.”

Meanwhile, they had reached their destination.

“Who are you people… mmph.”

After easily subduing the security guard stationed in front of the office, Ziel asked.

“Is Remal Siren inside?”

Shing.

When he drew the Polar Night Dagger and thrust it forward, the security guard nodded frantically.

Ziel pressed a point near his neck to knock the guard unconscious, then spoke to Gilbert.

“The assassins will attack as soon as we enter.”

Gilbert took a step back.

The Boss would surely say something like that.

Stay back and come in once the situation was handled.

“Then I’ll…”

“Stay right behind me and come in.”

“…!”

“An attack will come from the rear the moment we enter. Block it immediately.”

He’s entrusting his back to me!

“And suppress one of them. It’s well within your capabilities.”

“Understood, Boss. You finally… trust me!”

Ziel tilted his head.

“I’ve never not trusted you.”

“Boss…”

“I only assign you tasks that are possible with your skills.”

“Ah.”

Is it okay to keep being moved like this?

“From now on, calling me Boss is forbidden.”

Ah.

That’s right.

Now it begins.

“We’re going in.”

Ziel finally grasped the door handle and drew upon the Polar Night Breathing Technique.
