Chapter 956: Shadows of retribution (1)



"Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Yeah, most likely, but things must be done carefully," Erik said.

"This is dangerous, Erik," Fischer said. "It's dangerous, even for you."

Erik's jaw tightened. "I didn't chase those fuckers for two weeks to not take this chance, James." A flicker of anger flashed across Erik's face.

The younger man's blood boiled at the very thought of the blackguards. The mere idea of their existence, their actions, and the harm they had caused fueled a fire within him that was difficult to contain.

"To find out Dark Tendril's team's number was already a blessing, since that was essentially what made it possible for me to track them down. But it is not him, Zakir, that worries me, but the guy coordinating his team."

"You mean momentum?" Fischer asked.

"Yeah," Erik said. "Zakir... Dark Tendril is not a smart guy. Or better, he is not as smart as Momentum. It's true that the guy made waves among the blackguards, but he became much deadlier when he got under Momentum's care."

This was clear from the fact that while Zakir was indeed strong, it was Momentum who directed him to the locations where he could be most effective. Most likely, Momentum also taught Zakir and his team tactics and strategies, which significantly facilitated Zakir's rise as a young blackguard. This guidance he got from Momentum was what truly made Zakir the man he was today. At least based on Erik's opinion.

Of course, he had no proof that what he thought was true, and yet, based on what he knew about Zakir Nguyen, from their school days, that was the only logical thing

Fischer sighed, rubbing his temples. "You want to kill the guy just to settle a score, Erik," he said, not without a tint of exasperation in his voice. It was widely known that Erik had a personal vendetta against Momentum. The fact he had been chased all over Caelora city by the blackguards was known to all, and since he was hell-bent on killing the guy, it wasn't hard to understand who led the blackguards' teams back then.

"But you are actually planning on attacking one of the blackguards' most important buildings within the city. That place doesn't have your run-of-the-mills blackguard. There are many high-ranking officers there. You said yourself that Momentum is an enforcer, and you said yourself how high this rank is and what does it means for his powers."

"You think I can't pull it off? That I will end up killing him? Didn't I say I wanted to capture him?"

Fischer stared at the wall, trying to think about what he could say to the young man on the other side of the phone.

"I'm not saying that, Erik, but that's certainly a concern. You are plenty strong to kill him and the many other blackguards there. The problem is that we can't. To attack the base, we need a lot of manpower. Your clones are not enough to attack a place where the average rank of the blackguard is that of an advocate."

"James..." Erik paused for a second. He had no intention of missing this opportunity.

Erik had this intense expression on his face, eyes filled with resolve. He was thinking so much, and was so mad, that the lines around his mouth, set in a hard grimace, looked like furrows etched on a rocky Cliffside.

"The only reason I couldn't locate Zakir's team until now is because Momentum is behind it. It is not only that, but the guy is a key figure within the blackguards. If we take him, we will win this war. Zakir won't be able to hide anymore. He can certainly run; he knows how to strike, but that's only because of momentum."

Fischer stopped to think for a second. The guy tried to come up with something, anything really, to make Erik change his mind about going down this risky road. Yet, as he sifted through his thoughts, he realized he couldn't find any, and even if he did, he doubted Erik would listen to him. There was nothing Fischer could say or do that would make him change his mind.

He placed his phone on the desk and looked at it for some more time before picking it up again.

"All right. Be aware that I don't like this but... What do we have to do?"

"June will take care of most of it with the clones and will make the plan. You just need to provide him with what he needs. In essence, what we need to do is to attack the place. Since I got told I will be stationed in that area in the next few days, I already know that when you guys are going to attack, I will be called there.

"How can you be so sure about that? What if they do not call you?"

Fischer's face showed he was really worried. He seemed hesitant and worried about Erik's plan. The man was worried about the risks, especially with the big shots at the blackguards' hideout. He was even more unsure because Erik's optimism seemed to ignore the real dangers.

"I've spent enough time among the blackguards to know this will happen. Once there, I will take advantage of the chaos and get momentum. The clones will assist me in bringing him outside, while others will eliminate any opponent that stands in my way, if any exist. I won't be seen, I won't be noticed, and I won't be missed on the battlefield. Afterwards, I'll return to my post. It's this easy."

"What if they notice you are missing despite what you are saying?" Fischer wasn't convinced of Erik's idea. He was too optimistic. However, he didn't know he could turn into a fly or become almost invisible.

If he did, he would be inclined to think things were going to work. Erik had no intention of doing so, though, of telling the others about them. There were a couple of brain crystal powers he was keeping silent about.
