Inside the Security Room, Underground Facility.

A man stood up as he picked up a device and connected it to the system before him.

"Did you save the data from yesterday?" He asked the person sitting in the chair.

"Yeah, yeah," The man in the chair tiredly replied.

Various people inside the Security room could be seen, and they were in charge of maintaining the security of the entire Facility without fail.

"Don't slack off," another man said,

"Why are you guys worrying so much? We have the best protection, and that," He pointed at the screen.

It was footage from the lower levels of the underground Facility.

"And it's not like anybody appointed by the Family Head would be stupid enough to do anything foolish," He said.

"You know what they do to people like that," He said, and their faces turned severe.

At the Entrance of the Underground Facility,

Asher, Dane, and Kai passed through the hallways and moved toward the Security Room.

Many times they passed by some B Rank hunters, but they could pass through them easily due to Kai's ability.

Maintaining this ability, however, was taking a strain on Kai. Concealing three people at once was not easy, especially Dane, an A+ Rank hunter.

They would reach the Security Room in a minute, so both took out a transparent flask.

They remembered Asher's plan clearly.

Hours ago, at the abandoned building,

"So after entering the underground facility, we will go towards the security room?" Kai asked, looking at Asher.

"Yes, and securing this room is our first goal," Asher said,

"And to do that, everyone in the Security Room will be eliminated. And Dane will stay behind in case someone comes to that room." Asher told them.

That room not only controlled the whole security of the Facility, but it also had access to almost every device that was used at the Facility.

"But there will be a few A Rank Hunters inside that room," Dane reminded them.

"And chances are there will be more than 3," Dane said.

Although Asher had told them to use the poison he would give them, in front of more than 3 A Rank hunters, Dane and Kai were bound to get spotted. And if, by any chance, one of the people present in the security room used something to alert the whole Facility, their planning would go down the drain.

"Don't worry about that, take this," Asher took a few flasks from his spatial ring.

"This is similar to the previous poison, but it will significantly numb their reaction time," Asher said.

They were still skeptical about the items Asher had given them, but they took them anyway.

"Failure is not an option," Asher reminded them, his indifferent eyes looking at Dane and Kai.

Currently, Dane and Kai were moving with those same flasks in their hands. The mask they were wearing would prevent them from inhaling whatever was inside those flasks.

[00:03:13]

<You only have three minutes, remember to focus on getting the chip inside>

Tom reminded Dane and Kai once again.

Dane's eyes reached full focus, and so did Kai's. The vibe around him changed, and Asher could notice it. Their best performance came out when they were under pressure, which was why Asher wanted to recruit them.

Asher looked around and saw a few hunters around the hallways and lobbies. It was a vast facility, and most of the stuff hidden from the World was stored there.

But this was one of the many facilities that the Whiteheart Family owned.

Dane noticed they had reached the security room when he saw a guy leaving it.

Dane looked at Kai as he signaled him with his hands. Kai nodded back at him as he brought out the poison syringe and increased his speed as he captured the man.

In an instant, Kai injected the poison into his body.

Dane noticed that the door was about to close, but he immediately held onto it with his hands as he threw the flask inside.

*Shatter*

A white, mist-like gas started to spread inside the room.

"What the hell," Many people sitting there stood up.

But before they could move much, they found their movements were slowing down, and they found it tiring to keep their consciousness intact.

Apart from the A Rank hunters, the rest had already fallen unconscious.

Dane didn't give the remaining A Rank hunters time to respond as he moved behind them and injected the poison into their bodies. He looked to his left side, where Kai had already cared for the two A Rank hunters.

"Huff, huff," Kai was breathing heavily as he was quite drained from using his unique ability.

Ignoring Kai, Dane looked around the vast Security Room full of multiple screens and devices.

"Where the hell am I supposed to put this chip?" Dane asked as he kept looking around.

<There will be a main system with a golden-colored device in front of it. Use that to put the chip in.>

Tom instructed as Dane looked around and found the golden device that Tom was talking about.

'Now, which side will this chip go in from?' Taking a few seconds to check out the chip, Dane finally put it inside the device.

He stepped back as he saw various red alerts on the screen.

Back in the abandoned building,

"Finally," Tom looked in front of him as he was gaining complete access to the Facility.

He typed rapidly as he configured everything and performed various reset commands over the security system.

"Nice," Tom said,

He had finally turned off the system that detected the artifacts.

"Now the alarms," Tom muttered.

Dane and Kai were silently observing the multiple screens that were now returning to normal, but they knew that Tom was taking over the system.

<You can use your artifacts now, wait till I disable the whole alarm system soon enough>

Tom said as Dane looked at his spatial ring.

"This is tricky," Tom still had some trouble as the system he was trying to breach was not that easy to infiltrate.

Without using the chip, in which Tom had installed various programs that aided him directly, it would have been an almost impossible task to take full control of the Facility.

It took him around 20 more seconds to finally take over the system and disable the life-tracking system used to monitor the entire Facility.

"I have turned off the alarms-" Tom was about to say something but stopped as he heard a voice through Dane's mic.

"What the hell happened here," a B-rank hunter shouted.

Dane and Kai were immediately about to attack the source of that voice, but they stopped.

Their eyes looked at the man that was standing near the door.

"Intru-" The B rank hunter was about to shout, but he stopped as he looked down at his chest.

"Keep quiet," Asher muttered as his figure started to appear, Kai's ability completely removed.

The hunter noticed a black sword piercing his heart, and he slowly lost his life as his body fell to the ground.

[ Host has gained 15000 EXP ]

Asher looked at the notification before him and then at Dane and Kai.

Both of them hadn't noticed the presence as they were too focused on Tom's voice and due to the various mana-blocking runes that were present in the Security Room.

"Clear this mess," Asher said, looking at Dane, who nodded back at him.

But both of them were still surprised by Asher being completely normal after killing someone.

The gas from the flask that filled the room was still flowing out.

Asher ignored the blood as he looked at the empty hallway. He swung his sword to remove the blood. 

Now he could finally move freely, and they could start the main part of this heist.
