Rouga walked outside the manor and continued with his buddy by his side. He didn't express anything to Kyoya, but he wasn't sure if he could count on anyone else to accomplish his missions. He didn't know Sophia at all except that Kyoya said she was reliable.
He thought back about his fight against the Buddy Police Force and found that time passed fast since then. He didn't go to school for a while. He had to hide or he would have been arrested by them and the plan would have been over. It wasn't only that of course, if he was caught, especially with the current situation at the Buddy Police Force, caused more trouble.
He didn't do much for a while inside the manor. All he did was training and more training so he could become stronger and deal with situations that asked brute force. He was still bitter about the battle last month and the few surprises. He thought back once again and stopped when he crossed path with Reaper and Joker. His buddy and Joker gazed at each other's, both clearly not forgotten the fight.
"Let's go," Reaper said to his buddy.
Joker followed him, "Yes."
Rouga watched them silently, Reaper's buddy isn't in the best mood. I heard he was the type to give jokes and puns, but he isn't doing anything of the sort right now.
"Are you a little worried about them?" Cerberus asked.
"Of course not. They are under the command of Kyoya just like us," the boy replied as they reached the doors leading outside, it just doesn't completely feel right for Kiri to act that way.
Once they were outside, they saw Sophia waiting for them. She said nothing while Shido entered in the manor.
"You're ready?" Rouga asked.
"Yes," she replied.
"Let's go," he replied.
They walked towards their destination. Cerberus stopped for a few seconds when he smelled two strangers near the entrance of the manor. He turned around and checked around. He didn't see anyone and noticed that it was getting slowly weaker. Whoever left the stench, they were gone.
"What is it?" Rouga asked.
"They were two strangers around the manor, but they are gone. One human and one buddy."
Sophia checked around.
"They are probably just strangers. If it was someone of the Buddy Police Force, you would have recognised them," the boy guessed, but didn't sound completely certain about it.
Sophia didn't say anything, but thought that they should be more careful from now one. They knew Gao and his friends were searching for them and wondered if it might be one of them getting closer.
Even so, they focused on their mission right now.
Chapter 127: The Disaster Acted First
The trio reached their destinations. The looked at the tall building in front of them. It was a tall one having a rectangle form with a wall surrounding it so no intruder could infiltrate it. They were surveillance camera outside and probably inside it too.
"So this is where Tenchi is currently residing," Rouga whispered. The three remained safely away from the building as they watched it.
"That man owed all of this? It looks like there's 30 floors in there," Cerberus said.
Sophia carefully observed the entrance and whispered, "You will have to enter in there. When you reach his computer, you will have to use the spell card so I can enter inside and put the USB clip in the computer and collect information's."
"If he stored incriminating ones in there," Rouga added.
"There must be a few traces of anything he's trying to do," Sophia replied.
"There is always traces of anything, I can detect it," Cerberus whispered.
"Let's go," Rouga said as he put his mask.
They quietly dashed towards the entrance of the building while Sophia remained behind and waited for the right moment to teleport right in.
Rouga and Cerberus hid near the entrance and checked for the cameras. Rouga decided not to use his buddy skill right now or it might attract attention if they were careful enough and watching things that could pass in the air. Tenchi was aware of Buddy Skills that allowed the humans to fly with their buddy.
Cerberus pointed towards the side, away from the entrance and stood there. He climbed on the back of the boy and Rouga used his buddy skill to reach the top of the wall and checked inside. They landed behind a few bushes used to decorate the residence and observed. They saw five guards guarding the entrance and a few cameras watching everywhere.
Cerberus sniffed the air and knew there were three more guards they weren't seeing from where they were. Cerberus gave a sign to follow him and they walked at the back of the entrance without being stopped thanks to the plants hiding their presence and the darkness being by their side. They saw there were three guards watching the back and a few cameras too. Rouga checked where the camera and the guards were watching and frowned when he saw they were indeed checking in the air too.
Rouga thought of a way to infiltrate the building, but didn't find anything. He thought that it would have been much easier if they had a ninja from Katana World to do this instead of them.
They remained there for a minute. Rouga thought that it would have been much easier for them to infiltrate the building. He carefully observed once again the surrounding.
"I think I found a way Rouga," Cerberus quietly whispered, "Follow me."
The boy followed his buddy and went on the side of the building. Rouga looked at the side and noticed there were less cameras and the guards were less present on the side of the building. The windows that leaded inside had bars in front of them, but some of starting the third floor, they didn't. The boy noticed there were one or two windows on the third floor unwatched by the cameras. If they were fast enough, they could infiltrate the building without the guards noticing them.
They waited for the perfect moment to strike. When the none of the guards were watching and Cerberus instinct told him that they wouldn't check in the air for a moment long enough for them to infiltrate the residence of Tenchi, they quickly flew towards the window and opened it. Once they were inside, Rouga closed it behind him. They remained in the air and checked around, there were many cameras inside, but they weren't in the range of any of them.
At that moment, Rouga put his finger on his lips, silently ordering that they said nothing from now on. His buddy nodded as they proceeded to the computer room.
The evaded the attention of the guards with ease. Cerberus could easily detect them and they didn't need to see them. They also flew outside of the view of the cameras inside and proceeded until they reached the elevator. Once the door opened, they entered inside.
Rouga opened the ceiling of the elevator and flew there. They then climbed the floors until they reached the right one where the computer room was, floor 22.
When they stood in front of the door, Rouga checked if the elevator was coming towards them. It wasn't. Cerberus sniffed the air and nodded negatively. He smelt guards at the other side of the door and coming out right now was out of question.
They waited for the guards to leave. It took a while, but eventually, Cerberus turned toward his buddy and nodded. Rouga opened the door and they entered inside. The boy panted a little, it was harder to open it then he thought.
They checked where the cameras where and proceed to the location of the computer room. They remained outside of the range of the camera and avoided the guards that were patrolling inside the building.
Rouga had to admit that the surveillance was much more intense than he expected from any politician, but with the murders committed by Tsukikage, security was surely increased for the rest of the campaign. They reached the computer room and stopped when Cerberus detected someone inside. They hid at the room beside the one they had to enter and waited, wondering how long, whoever it was, remained in the computer room. After a few minutes, no one came out and both grew a little impatient. Rouga checked the ceiling and found an entrance to the ventilation system. They floated to the computer room that way and checked inside who was remaining there. They saw that it was no one else than Tenchi, on the phone.
"I expect you to remain hidden," the man said to someone at the other side of the phone. He nodded, "It would be problematic if they found you out now. As for your demands, it will have to wait after the elections. If I lose, you won't gain anything after all," he frowned and replied, "You won't get anything if I'm not elected remember. You should thing more of the long term than right now. You better understand what I meant," he hung up. He put his hands on his forehead, "He better calm down or I'll have to take him out of the picture."
He checked something in the computer and closed it afterwards. He walked outside of the room. The duo waited for a moment. When no one else came, they checked if there was camera, but there weren't, so they went out of the ventilation system.
The moment Rouga touched the ground, he grabbed his spellcard and used it. Sophia appeared from a dark portal and checked around.
"You took a while," she commented quietly.
Rouga frowned and replied, "The security is tight."
She nodded, believing his words. She walked towards the computer Tenchi closed and took out her USB key. She first opened the computer and waited for it to be completely open. They couldn't enter in the files since it was blocked. Sophia installed the USB Key. They waited for a few minutes to see if anything would happen.
Rouga noticed that Sophia didn't touch the computer and was wearing a pair of gloves. He wasn't surprise by that since the security was tight and if they suspect anything, they will search for fingerprints.
The screen suddenly changed as it accepted the password, that no one had. Rouga guessed that the USB Key must be used to hack inside a computer.
"No alarm so far," Sophia commented. She took out a small sheet of paper and started searching for any information's they could use against Tenchi.
She checked in the files for a while. Cerberus stood close to the door and listened outside, just in case someone was coming back.
As she searched, she lightly frowned in frustrations, "This is harder than I thought. He surely had erased everything."
Rouga grunted, "Then there is nothing we can obtain."
Sophia nodded negatively, "Even if he erased everything, there is still traces of what he put in the computer. I just have to let him take control of the computer and we will wait."
"Who?" Rouga asked, not knowing who she was talking about.
"Someone who knows a lot about computers," she replied as she clicked on something.
He saw the pointer of the mouse moving on its own and clicked on something. They then saw that whoever was in control of the computer was copying the hard drive of the computer.
Rouga and his buddy both felt the tension rising as it started downloading everything in the computer. If anyone entered at the wrong time, they would witness them and the alert would be sent. Not only that, but if anyone detecting this from another computer, it was also over.
Thankfully, it took just half a minute and it was over.
Kyoya must have the best computer and the fastest internet connection existing on Earth. Rouga thought.
Sophia then saw that the other user erased the history in the computer, as if nothing happened before it disconnected. She took out the USB key, "We have what we need. We need to get out of here now," she took out another spellcard.
She opened a black hole, the same one that she came from, "Let's go."
Rouga lightly frowned, but made no comment as he entered there with his buddy. Sophia joined them at the other side. One it was safe, he grunted, "Why did we have to enter in the office if you had a card that allowed you to enter in there?"
Sophia gazed at him and thought that it was a legitimate question. She answered, "Because I would have been in trouble if I teleport myself in when there was someone in there or anywhere around it when I teleport. So it was safer that you enter in there and checked if it was safe."
Rouga didn't reply, it was a good reason.
Cerberus said, "We should go. The farther away we are, the better."
The humans nodded and walked away, wondering what proof the files might contained.
AC: This is the end of this chapter.
I will take a break from this story for a while. I have written a lot of chapters, but I need to take my time and think of how ending this season, which is coming to an end. So I have to plan the rest of it for a while before continuing it and they are other stories I want to advance too.
Thank you for all the reviews.
Next one: A Warning.
