Ancient Tears BloodLine

After hearing the Team Leader's answer. The atmosphere around the room got quiet. The Bald Man from the auction authorities walked towards the Team leader. He looked at the team leader and said, "Did you find any stolen items?"

The Team leader once again looked at the Authorities of TTC aka Thomas Trade Centre. He, did not know? It's okay to reply. This is not a joint investigation.

The Bald Man observed the hesitation on his face. He is currently on the edge, He looked at TTC Authorities "Don't try to cover up anything?" He said with a serious tone. Then TTC Authorities told Team Leader to explain everything. Soon, all the people present in the room took a seat.

The Team leader said, "We caught one of the robbers." Then he added, "After having quick interrogation with him.. We find out, there were four more people with him; they escaped successfully. But, he is being caught. While having a fight with one of the bidders."

One of the TTC authorities asked, "Did you cross verify the security camera's images?" hearing that, "We did verify. It matches the description with Robber's statement." The Team Leader replied. Suddenly, The Bald Man's Hidden force Team leader sent a message. He is from an Auction Company.

They are tracking the trail left behind by the robbers. After receiving Intel from TTC's Team. They left the building and started to move towards the border to find the culprit. The Bald Man reads the report. After reading the report. He looked at the people sitting from left to right.action

And said, "My men were on their way to the border" then he added, "Did the robber say anything about the mastermind? If not, Hand over the robber to us. I'm sure my team has the ability to get answers from him."

TTC Authorities got irked hearing that. But, they didn't show any displeasure now. The team leader explained that the robber was currently unconscious. Once he wakes up. They will continue to interrogate him to reveal the mastermind. The Bald Man didn't continue to argue after hearing that. But he reminded the team leader to maintain tight security around the robber's room.

Meanwhile, the Robber is in the interrogation room.

"Damn it, I don't know how long I am going to fake it." The Robber cursed in his heart. He put up an act to fool the Authorities. He was initially left unconscious. Soon, he woke up. But didn't move his body. There were several sensors attached to him. If he shows any form of movement. They will find out soon.

He knows it's over, it's a matter of time. Before, they came to know the truth. He is delaying the inevitable. He chooses to calm down his nerves.

Meanwhile, Zack entered the Leki Restaurant.

This Restaurant is a medium one. There were only a few people can be seen inside. I decided to move to the top floor. Maybe fatty is waiting there. After arriving at the top floor. I didn't find fatty. I looked around and decided to ask the waiter. The waiter told the receptionist and they checked the details. There is no name mentioned as Max Stewart in the guest list.

I even made them go through the security camera. From the video, it's clear that he didn't come here. I smacked my head a little, I should have checked the casualty ward earlier. It's a waste of time. Then I made my way to the TTC. Sometime later, I arrived at the spot. But, I found so many people waiting outside, and none of them were allowed to enter.

I was confused seeing that, I asked several people around. They replied they don't have any clue. I had a vague feeling in my heart hearing that. "They were looking to cover up the things" I commented in my heart. It doesn't bother me. All I wanted to know was the whereabouts of fatty, I tried to reach out to him again. But, it ended in vain.

This is very vexing. I thought it would be a fruitful day. But, growing anxiety inside me says something else.

Then, I made up my mind and called Uncle James. I explained everything to Uncle James. He assured me to find the news. Then I decided to wait at the entrance of TTC like others. If they started to allow people. I will go and look inside.

Meanwhile, the Beggar also noticed Zack's circumstances. He somewhat guessed his predicament.

Soon, the beggar received an encrypted message from Sir Lowell McClain. In that, message Sir Lowell McClain told if TTC didn't announce news of the robbery. You release it yourself. After reading the message. The beggar deleted it. He once again looked at Zack, and then disappeared from this place. He is going to spread the robbery news.

Soon, sometimes later the news of the robbery at TTC catches the wind. It spread like wildfire across the Red stone city. All the big wigs got alerted. The border patrol got tightened. In all public gathering areas and transport areas, their surveillance got increased.

The public was baffled by the scale of security. They thought it's just normal robbery, Maybe some kind of rogue infiltrated the building. But, only big wig know that, it's not an everyday rogue act. It was a preplanned, almost perfectly executed robbery.

If the last robber, perhaps escaped in time. Then it will become more serious. And people will investigate around without any leads.

Meanwhile, on the top floor inside the TTC Building.

Both TTC and Mini Auction Authorities suspected each other of spreading the news. But, they didn't voice out. Because it's almost time, it will spread by bidders or by people who came to the auction.

"Did he wake up?" asked the Bald Man. "Not yet" The team leader replied. "Wait for my men to come up. Then continue the interrogation." The Bald Man said with a serious tone.

Meanwhile. The old man who killed Max Stewart. Crossed the border, he is on his way to another city with his servant. On the way, they dropped Max Stewart sci-fi Watch in the nearby well. It will soon malfunction if it stays in the water for too long.
