Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Infiltrating the base

Loki approached the base on the east side as the security there was the weakest. The only guard there was the one guard who was circling the entire base. Not to mention on the east side, there were only a couple of security cameras, that was where Loki noticed a blindspot. The security cameras had simple movements as they moved from left to right, also they weren’t synchronized with each other, so Loki was able to spot the blindspot from those movements.

Loki tossed one of the thin wires in his gloves and manipulated it to wrap around one of the pillars on the wall. He then infused the wire with his mana using the [Enhancement] spell, once Loki was sure that the wire was secured, Loki looked at the security cameras and started counting.

‘One, two, three, four, five!’ It was at that moment Loki used [Ehnancement] on himself and started running towards the wall. As he got near he jumped, and with the help of the wire, he pulled himself upward so that he was able to jump over the wall quite easily.

Once he was on the other side of the wall, Loki quickly concealed himself using the [Shadow treading] spell. He waited for a bit so that he could observe those that pass this area, once he was sure that everything was clear Loki started moving.

Loki entered the factory through a window that led to the restroom. He could hear some people talking just outside the restroom, so he was forced to wait for them to leave. Loki could’ve easily knocked those guys out, but doing that would have alerted the others. Even though the current Loki was confident he could somehow deal with normal men with guns, he wasn’t sure if there were any martial artists present in the base. ????????????re????d. ????????????

Even now as his physique has gotten better and he could use a bit more mana, he was still wary of the so called martial artists. They use different techniques from the warriors of his old world, and the videos he has seen about them were focused solely on the children that joined the tournament they held every decade. The only adult martial artist he has seen was the lady named Leila, and he wasn’t sure how she compared to the other adult martial artists.

Knowing so little about martial artists and their abilities, Loki didn’t want to blindly do anything reckless, especially since he needed to rescue the kidnapped people.

There was also the rule that he imposed on himself that he would not kill people that weren’t specified in the mission. The people he is supposed to kill in this mission were the Harada Family, and the Harada Family only. The subordinates were not part of the deal.

Loki used the ventilation to get by unseen. As he was going around the factory area of the base, he spotted Niel’s wife working in a production line. She looked completely haggard and based on the way she was moving her hands which were shaking, she had most likely been hit by a blunt object multiple times.

Loki then observed the other workers in the production line and noticed that most of them share a similar disposition to the P.I’s wife.

‘Those people must be other kidnapped family members, of other people being blackmailed... Hmm, If the adults are here I wonder where they’re keeping the kids... Well, first I’ll look around, and once I locate the kids I’ll help them escape then I’ll kill the Harada Family.’

Loki took some pictures of the family members using his phone and sent them to Harold. Loki then instructed Harold to send those pictures along with the location of the factory to the media telling them that these people were kidnapped, once he gave him the signal. Before he could give that signal, first he needed to locate the children before they do anything.

After he was done sending the message Loki continued to look around the factory and found an elevator that needed a key to work. Loki snuck onto the top of the elevator and waited for one of the henchmen to use it.

It didn’t really take that long before someone came to use it and headed down to the secret base below. As the henchman was about to leave the elevator, Loki silently got behind him and stole his elevator key.

It was a good thing that this person was alone which made it easier for Loki to steal the key without him noticing anything. Once he acquired the key to the elevator Loki started to search around the secret base to try and locate the kidnapped children.

This time it was harder to move around as there were more henchmen walking in the hallways and guarding some doors, not to mention there were security cameras everywhere. The only silver lining was that the ventilation made sneaking around and getting past those obstacles a bit easier.

...

The secret base hidden under the factory above wasn’t as big as Loki expected it to be. Still, it was hard to look around as there were henchmen in every corner.

‘I guess this is a good way to help me practice infiltrating these kinds of places, as I have a feeling more of my future missions will force me to infiltrate more secured places than this.’ Loki sighed at that thought while continuing to look around the base for the kidnapped children.

As Loki was moving around he spotted Harada Kenji heading somewhere with an urgent look on his face.
