Red River Jade restaurant was located in the most populated area of the city square, and only the richest patrons went there to have a taste of their special dishes and wine.
The prices were horrendously expensive, but it was only matched by the quality of their food, which was why they were willing to pay such a sum.
Alec and his merry band of Spectres weren't here for the food, nor the excellent service.
As Alec neared the place, he had a more accurate grasp on why the place was so highly acclaimed by the people who frequented the place.
The restaurant was upscale and luxurious, and every inch of it seemed to exude class. The service that came with the place was top-notch and couldn't be faulted. Even if it was, those people would mysteriously disappear after a period of time…
No one was able to find them later on, leading to a few ghost stories, but none of it deterred those people from frequenting the place.
Like the rest of the ten locations that alternated as the company headquarters each month, the place was filled to the brim with seals and arrays.
They were the same kind of arrays that were used throughout the various headquarters to protect it from people with bad intentions.
Without a good eye and a detailed blueprint on what there was here, anyone hastily touching or meddling with it would have met a gruesome end.
However, that was only without Alec's ability to see the runes in the air. As an Array Master, Alec was more than familiar with the layout that was commonly used in heavily guarded places.
This place was no different.
Though the same person who had created the brand had created the defences on this place as well, Alec had steadily grown more familiar with the person's style and way they crafted their arrays after spending a week in the very informational transmigrator academy.
In fact, Alec was so familiar with it that if he ever saw someone whip out some seals in the middle of a battle in the back and start writing, Alec would be the first to charge over and murder that person.
How dare he create someone so outrageous? Alec still felt rage bubble up every time he thought about it, as well as the deplorable effects that the damn seal had.
His skin crawled when he thought about how many people wore that seal unwillingly, only to be turned into brain-dead dolls to be used by the company.
His lips curled in disgust.
At this moment, since it was no longer lunchtime, there weren't many people left in the restaurant.
Using his senses and his hearing, Alec could tell that there weren't many people who were still in the restaurant.
This was the perfect time to strike. Of course, that was only in their current circumstances, where he was sure that they had not yet been reported nor put on the company's radar.
Tracing his finger in the air, Alec took out a brush and painted on the ground, gently breaking the various arrays and seals that were aimed towards intruders.
He gently dismantled them without them being able to function any longer, removing the alert system.
He took over the control of the arrays manually, drawing the control to himself. Now, no one else would be able to use the arrays inside the building.
Alec took out his dagger and made a cut on this palm, pooling blood. Then, he slammed his hand down on the ground, overwriting the previous owner's control.
He couldn't help but grin with the runes in his field of vision went wild as his blood seeped into the array, then they froze before hanging limply in the air, seemingly obedient.
Alec calmly withdrew his palm, and it had already healed.
It was done so smoothly and uniformly that it didn't seem strenuous at all. On the other hand, had another Array Master been here to see what Alec just did, their jaws would have dropped to the ground.
The System gave his team a signal, and they immediately entered the place from the windows, trusting their Boss fully to have taken care of the defences on the place. There was no doubt in their mind that it was now safe for them – besides the obvious threat, that was.
Hayden, Rosabel and Yuki didn't even glance back once.
Elysia grinned at him and entered through the front door, drawing a startled laugh from him.
There wasn't any sound from inside as they quickly killed the people who were working inside the building.
It was the quickest way to take control, as well as the least damaging way.
They couldn't afford the alarm to sound if even one of them woke up and alerted the company.
The various teams of his Spectres entered in group by group, and the building's inhabitants were already wiped out.
This… this efficiency would have scared anyone else, but to them it was very normal.
After all, they were all Sins!
Their bloodthirst was legendary for a reason.
Let alone in a place like this where the sound was blocked off from the outside. What did they even have to worry about when everything was set up perfectly for them to enter the stage?
The only thing they needed to take note of was not to send the building crashing to the ground before they could finish controlling the place from inside out.
If a passerby had looked in the window, they would have been shocked to see a bunch of figures dressed in black, covered from head to toe.
One look and they knew that they weren't up to any good.
One Spectre reported back to Alec. "Boss, we found the entrance of the headquarters."
"Good," Alec said, striding forward.
The entrance that they found was disguised as a dumbwaiter that was used to transport food, but it was actually the elevator that they used to enter and exit the place.
As a security measure, it was made so that only one person could use it at a time, up to the space of a grown man, making it terribly inconvenient.
There should be other entrances as well, as Alec ordered them to find and immediately infiltrate.
Alec bent down and entered the dumbwaiter that was taller than it looked, which was good. It still allowed him to stand up straight.
Then, as he was about to close the door and descend, Elysia squeezed her way in, hugging him tightly.
She jabbed the button, and the doors closed.
Alec blinked then gave her a helpless look.
"You…"
"Hmph," Elysia pouted. She blinked her big golden eyes up at him. "You were going to leave me behind!"
"I would have waited for you at the bottom."
"Lies. I know you better than you think. You would have immediately followed your curiosity and tried to map out the place so that it was safer for us!"
Caught red-handed, Alec was actually made speechless by her.
She really… knew him well!
There was a chance that he really would do that, knowing himself.
The two of them were squeezed into a tight place, and her body was completely pressed up against him.
If it was just for a moment, Alec wouldn't have minded, and he would have even forgotten about it quickly, but now, as the dumbwaiter was descending, he felt his face heat up as she shifted here and there.
"Don't move!" he instructed.
Confused, Elysia obediently froze, hugging him tighter.
She felt a… hard thing sticking to her, and her face pinked a little.
"…" the two of them were completely silent in the awkwardness as the dumbwaiter descended.
By the time it reached, they felt like an eternity had passed.
Elysia quickly let go of Alec and stepped out, fanning her face.
Alec closed his eyes and willed himself to go down with sheer willpower before stepping out behind her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
