Mr. Arthur boarded the train to Marsh City. Since, He knew the suspect is under control. He didn't feel any stress for this interrogation. He then operated his sci-fi watch to go through the report about Simon Mills again.
Earlier, he once again called their beach office to ask about Simon Mills. But, they told me he haven't come back from vacation. After learning that He knew the real Simon Mills is perhaps died. The chances of him being very alive is slim. So, he is very curious about other party's identity. He then shut his eyes, patiently awaiting for the destination.
On the other hand, Time went on, After eight hours, the imposter Simon Mills regained his consciousness but his mind is somewhat fuzzy. He is sweating, a small bead like sweat is dripping from his forehead. Little by little, the imposter Simon Mills regains clarity. A moment later he recalls the whole incident.
A huge panic rang in his heart. His back shiver with chill as he recalls about the old man. He is almost got planted by him. He gritted his teeth in hatred. He thought, he calculated the old man, in the end he was the one who fooled. "I messed up the mission given by the boss. " He mumbled under his breath.
As he remembers his boss, he tried to sense his wrist watch. But poor his valuables were all collected by the old man. After realizing that, "Despicable!" He yelled. He cursed the old man in his heart. In frustration, the imposter Simon Mills looks around the dark house. He tries to untie the rope, yet all his attempts ended in vain.
"I have to inform boss about the old man. His strength is stronger than I expected. Probably, He is not mercenary. Then who could be?" He said to himself.
Earlier, Elder Thornton Knocked him unconscious. So he failed to access his real strength. Till now, the imposter Simon Mills doesn't realize the old man is at elite level.
While, he was in frustration. His mind races to think of a suitable plan. The rope is medium end artefact. It sucked his essence energy rendering him unable to exert his full strength.
Medium end artefact in the tier-8 city is considered as rare. To think the old man used it on him, He couldn't help but feel stressed. As the time went on, the imposter Simon Mills tried various tricks, yet whenever he generates essence energy. The rope reacts and sucked the energy completely.
A several hours later, Mr. Arthur arrived at the Marsh City. He booked the air cab an landed near the destination couple of minutes later. Mr. Arthur wear normal suit as citizen. It didn't attract attention of the locals. He then walked towards the empty house hold and entered inside. After recalling, Elder Thornton's words. He then move towards the dark room where the imposter was tied-up.
On the other hand, hearing the footsteps the imposter jolted up. His bad premonition becomes reality. He knew its impossible for someone to leave him here like that. He tilted his head to looked at the person. Seeing that person's face his expression froze. "This guy is the administrator of Hansen Centre" He said to himself.
"This is bad!"
He observed the person from top to bottom. He understands, This guy came here to interrogate me. "No wonder, they didn't kill me" a certain clarity come to his mind.
Mr. Arthur's sight falls on the imposter Simon Mills body. After seeing him, he immediately pulls up barrier artefact and activates it.
A hazy field generated from artefact it envelops both of them. It prevents from prying eyes. And also no one will hear their conversation happened between the two inside the barrier.
After setting up the barrier, Mr. Arthur gazes up the rope artefact. There are few scratch marks on the artefact other than that there is no damage. It can be used as new. Then Mr. Arthur looked at him and said, "You knew why I am here. Can you tell me why are you stalking our Seed Candidate Zack? Who send you?"
"Tell me one by one. My patient is very limited!"
Hearing that, the imposter Simon Mills pupils constructs. He immediately refuted, "You got the wrong person. Untie me, otherwise you will face severe actions "
"Severe actions from who?" Mr. Arthur inquired.
The imposter Simon Mills gritted his teeth. He knew he is going to be planted today. Its going to be endless torture. If he fails to cooperate with him.
On the other hand, Mr. Arthur getting patient. "Where is real Simon Mills?" Mr. Arthur inquired. He thought, it's important to save other person's life. If he is alive.
Then Mr. Arthur move towards him. He take out a crystal pill from his storage ring and placed in his palm.
Seeing that, the imposter horrified. "Where did you get this pill?" "This is insane" "No!" He become complete mad. This pill will put your mind under suffering. You will be crippled as a result of it. "It's better to die than undergo this torture." He said to himself.
Then the imposter Simon Mills made up his mind. He became dejected. He answered, "There is no imposter here. I'm the real one. I'm working in that branch office as part of my undercover mission."
Hearing that, "This handwriting!" "It's a deep secret. Its definitely big!" A surprise glint flashes across Mr. Arthur 's mind.
"Who gave you the mission? Who asked you to follow our Seed Candidate?"
Mr. Arthur inquired multiple questions.
"Crimson Hall! It's all Crimson Hall" Finally, Simon Mills reveals his organisation. He knew its impossible to leave here. It's better to have easy death than mid torture.
Hearing Crimson Hall, Mr. Arthur's expression turned solemn. He knew from this day onwards, this act would be like completely tearing off each other's face. If other party find about the Simon Mills. Then they will sure scheme against Zack in the exhibition match.
To think other party is simultaneously spying on Parazam Hunter league. Mr. Arthur thought it's better to form alliance with Parazam hunter league with this investigation. It will also helpful for them.
Then Mr. Arthur continues to interrogate him. Then he finds out that Crimson Hall's attention fell on Zack. Right now, no organisation has complete profile of him.
Including theirs. His elemental ability and other technique is completely unknown to everyone. So, the crimson hall send him to probe Zack. Now, everything became clear to Mr. Arthur. It's a new headache to him, if this guy failed to report back. Then the crimson hall would certainly notice his absence. Then they would dispatch next team. Mr. Arthur couldn't help but get worried.
Then Mr. Arthur then fed Simon Mills another sleeping Mills. Since, he decided to have operation with Parazam Hunter league. It better to have him in good shape. Other than lack of energy reserve. This guy is unharmed.
Mr. Arthur connected call with Elder Thornton.
Once the call connected a stern voice sounded. "Arthur did you find anything?" other side, Elder Thornton raised his voice in expectation. But suddenly, seeing Arthur's expression, Elder Frowns.
The Mr. Arthur explained everything to him. A moment later, Elder Thornton let out a sigh. But, unlike Arthur, Elder Thornton didn't worry about Zack. He knew about Zack's background. He casually said, "Okay, I'll inform Parazam Hunter league. We collected our intel. Next, they should be most interested in him than us." At first, Elder Thornton thought that he is imposter.
To think he is the real one but working in under cover mission for crimson hall. Elder Thornton understood that this matter is more serious than theirs.
After then both of them ended their call. A couple of days went by. In meantime Elder Thornton had a secret meeting with officials from Parazam Hunter league. At first they didn't believe it. From their perspective, Parazam Hunter league is giant its not comparable to Hansen training centre a small organisation.
They only decided to have meeting with Elder Thornton because of his Cultivation level. Elder Thornton is Elite warrior, So the officials from Parazam Hunter league thought it's good to have connection with him.
But later, after Elder Thornton revealed the information with evidence. It stirred quite a commotion in upper echelons. They directly retained Simon Mills for interrogation. They also owe favour towards Hansen Centre for this exposure.
On the other hand, Zack continued his daily life by training and cultivation. After trading some monster core for blood essence pill. His body cultivation reach one step closer to breakthrough.
On the other hand, there is tiff grown between Parazam Hunter league and Crimson Hall due to Simon Mills incident. Upper echelons of Crimson Hall, became embarrassed due to this incident. They were pressure up by Parazam Hunter league. Finally, they have no choice to yield and gave up lot of assets as compensation.
Later, their entire hatred towards Hansen Centre. Hansen Centre exposed this incident, this damaged their reputation. Crimson Hall can't retaliate against Parazam Hunter league. It is a giant.. But they can do something to Hansen Centre.
