Chapter 123 A Quickie I

Victor took his seat and made himself comfortable before asking, “I came here to enquire about something.” He said while leaning back into the seat. It wasn’t really all that comfortable since these were office chairs, but they were just enough, Victor had sat on worse, rocks included.

“Sorry you had to see that.” Mark apologised, as he dressed his shirt before taking a seat also. ‘Why the fuck do I have to be the one to apologise!?

He screamed in his mind as he calmly looked at Victor. He wouldn’t have even recognise that it was him if it weren’t for the signature tattoos.

“There’s a government facility where they are carrying out research and conducting experiments on some mysterious power. What I want to know is where this laboratory is.” Victor concluded. He really didn’t need any other information, all he wanted to know was the location of the place.

‘Mysterious power? That’s like all their laboratories, but I can’t tell him that now, can I?’ Mark contemplated in his mind over the situation.

‘I can already tell he is stressing over something simple.’ Victor thought in his mind as he looked at Mark.

“Well…” Before Mark could continue, Victor cut him off.

“I can see that you don’t have a clear idea. How about you tell me where all the laboratories within the city are located.”

Victor knew the lab was in the city, he just didn’t know which one. If he could just get the location of all the individual laboratories, it would be easy work from there.

“Yes, please.” Mark said as he showed Victor a hand, directing him to look to the side, which he did. On the wall, an image of the entire city layout appeared, and using that Mark was able to pinpoint the places where the labs in the city were located. There were three in total, so that would have given Victor less trouble than he initially thought.

Adding to that, Mark also informed Victor about a certain people that had been on a lookout for the Crow lately. Much to Victor’s surprise, if he could be surprises, it was the Beechmon family. He was sure he had heard that name before, and as his wonderful memory would permit, he remembered Arnold Beechmon, the man he met the day Vince came around. However, Mark quickly pleads for Victor not to crumble the entire family, and explained to him the circumstances that led to the vendetta.

After listening to Mark’s plea, Victor assured him that he had no time to play with children over such a matter, but just for the sake of sending a message, he was going to respond, but he would do it in his own way and Arnold would not be hurt.

With that, Victor disappeared and came to existence in what seemed to be a random alleyway that had no one on it, just perfect. ‘To make things easy and poetic, now…’

Victor got some information on the Beechmons, and with that he was able to track down some of their people. As it would seem, they owned some businesses around the part he teleported to, and Victor was about to make use of that.

First thing he did was approach a tea shop which was owned by the Beechmon family. These kind of places that were owned by such families always had some kind of security that wasn’t from a firm or agency watching it, and that was what Victor was looking for.

Fortunately for Victor, the very man standing before the door to usher guests in was one of them, and he would know because his five sense were pretty enhanced. He could pick off most small details from muscle to breathing to little twitches. For someone like that, it was easy to read people.

As Victor approached the door, he stopped and just when the guard was about to welcome him in and instead of going in, seemed to be having some sort of conversation with the guard. After a few second, he simply turned and left the place. If nothing else, the place seemed like a high class tea and coffee shop, he was impressed.

The moment Victor left, a voice came into the guard’s earpiece asking who was that, but he simply responded saying Victor was just someone looking for directions on some place across the street. Some moments later, guard left and was replaced by another.

If anyone was looking at Victor’s eyes when he approached the guard, they would see that his eyes glowed a faint red for the briefest of moments before returning to normal, the moment the guard made eye contact with Victor, he was already affected by his skill, Mind Control.

The instruction Victor gave were simple, for the guard to go to a certain location, and to act natural, as natural as possible. Of course, he didn’t need to add the last part, but it was just a failproof.

Moments later, the man who was guarding the entrance to the fancy tea place met with Victor, and Victor went on to ask some quick questions. All he needed was the location of the one that wanted him dead. As it would seem, just two from the Beechmon family were spearheading the entire operation.

As though to favour Victor, the guard conformed that both men were at their respective homes, so Victor went on with the next phase of his plan. After that, he ordered the guard to go to the house of the man who’s son was the red hair, but should not enter. He was to wait outside the premises for ten minutes, and after that was to head to the house of the second person. To finish everything, Victor asked the guard to enter into the premises of the second man, and then kill himself.

After the guard left, Victor summoned Larry, Gurok and Amadon and gave them their respective duties to follow through. After that, Victor set a rendezvous location, and they departed.

“With that done, let’s begin the search. It shouldn’t be too difficult if everything go as planned.” Victor said to himself, as his figure vanished from the spot it was before.
