After a quick train ride from New Blackwell, we arrived at Bluering city. As the name suggests, the city is shaped like a ring with many rivers passing through it.

This city is famous for its attractions such as the floating marketplace. But we weren't here to sightsee. Bluering also had a dark underside; our target was Misa Rend, a well-known human trafficker.

She didn't kidnap the people but instead sold them. It was similar to what Vision did, so it was suspected that she was in Vision or had a partnership with them.

"Mr. Benjamin, do we know the location of her base."

"Just call me Ben. We do know the general area in which operates but we don't know the exact location of her base."

"Since she is a suspected Vision agent, shouldn't we capture her alive?"

"No. Even if she were a Vision agent, she wouldn't be able to provide any information that we don't already know."

Vision is called the nemesis of SUITE. Over the years, SUITE has tried over and over again to take down Vision for good but they were too elusive.

Vision could be compared to a lizard, as long the main body isn't harmed, they can lose as many limbs as they need to. And Vision has limbs all over the human domain.

As soon as a limb is compromised, they will immediately cut it off and separate themselves from that limb. Then they would eventually regrow that limb over time.

There have many times in which SUITE has discovered its main base only to realize it has been evacuated beforehand and with all traces of its existence erased.

Throughout the day, I investigated the areas in which she operated. In contrast to the bright and beautiful city that was Bluering, the slums were much worse. There was a dark undertone to it and I could see children begging or stealing from others to get enough food.

The strong ruled the weak here. As a part of my investigations, I disguised myself as a slum dweller and listened to conversations. There were many gangs active in the area. Though I did find some clues, there was nothing of substance.

During my investigation, I also got rid of 5 lowlives who attempted to mug me. I met up with Benjamin at the end of the day and told him what I learned. He only nodded.

He won't help me and would only interfere when I am in danger. At night I snuck into some gangs, hoping to catch a whiff of Misa Rend's organization. As I was C rank, they couldn't detect me but there were some close calls.

After spending nearly 24 hours awake, I decided to get some shut-eye. I wouldn't be able to work properly if I wasn't rested and could put myself in danger.

I woke up at 3 pm and resumed investigations. I thought today would be another bust until heard something being mentioned.

"Aye, Joe have you heard about the deal."

"Deal?"

"Apparently Boss Troy is buying some people from Ms. Rend."

"Really?"

"Yeah, was complaining about there not being any pretty girls. I heard they got a new shipment and there are real beauties on it."

"Hmm, I might get one."

"Yeah right, your broke ass can't even get drinks for me."

"You seem to know where Misa is, why don't you be a good boy and tell me where the deal is occurring?"

I immediately killed Joe and threatened the other thug. He quickly put his arms up in surrender. Both of them were civilians and stood no chance against me.

"I don't know much, I promise. I heard it is happening tomorrow at midnight near the abandoned factories."

'He's not lying. I don't think I can get anything else out of him so I'll get rid of him.'

I immediately stabbed him and he dropped dead.

"I gave you information..."

Just before he died, he mentioned those words.

"I never said I would spare you."

I left their bodies in the room I found them. It wasn't uncommon to find dead bodies in this area and people would think it was a deal gone wrong.

I immediately scouted the abandoned factories. This was the gangster Troy's territory. I had to be careful how I acted otherwise I might get jumped.

Though the gangs posed no threat to me as they were mostly comprised of civilians, I didn't want to scare away Misa Rend and for her to back out of the deal.

I also notice during my scouting that some suspicious men were searching the area. They were too well-trained to be gangsters.

'Misa is careful. I can't be noticed if I want the deal to go through.'

I slowly made my way around the district, making sure not to alert any of the guards. By the end of the day, I managed to do it.

After sleeping for 8 hours, I made preparations. I only had one shot at this.

Midnight came quickly and the deal was occurring. Troy's men were scattered. It was difficult to find a hiding spot.

I could also sense Benjamin watching the deal as well, ensuring that I wouldn't die and our target would be killed.

After 10 minutes of waiting, Misa came in with a carriage behind her. Her bodyguards were spread out ensuring every corner was covered. I had to move from the spot if I didn't want to be caught.

I moved further away from Misa, but I also got a good vantage. I had to wait for my time to strike.
