Chapter 211: Stealth

When asked which is the richest nation in the continent, even an uneducated would not need to think twice before coming up with the answer.

The Empire.

The Empire, since it's inception, had waged countless wars against the Confederation. And to drive these battles, they needed a huge amount of resources. And these resources came mainly from two sources.

First- the behemoth of a nation covered an entire half of the habitable half of the continent which equated to a huge landmass. Be it everyday materials, precious materials, magical metals or even magic crystals of various qualities- they lied abundant under the surface. Many of the mines were already being used and many others were still waiting to be discovered.

Second- the Empire was the strongest nation in the world, strong enough to have all the other countries in the world band together to form any sort of resistance. But even then, the balance of power tilted a bit to the side of the Eastern nation. The array of strong circlers and military enabled them to launch many expeditions to the North, into the wilderness.

Though the forces had suffered some failures, they managed to return back with a lot of rare resources like treasures, extremely rare plants and herbs, and other rare beast parts or even exotic living animals.

These two sources were more than enough for the Imperial family to have their coffers filled to the brim- literally.

One treasury was not enough for the richest household in the entire continent to hold all the last bit of the treasures- even though they had the largest treasury of them all, inside the biggest structure on the face of Ervilia- the Imperial Citadel, one of the three wonders.

So, they created some auxiliary treasures outside their residence. And the biggest one of them lied under the care of the Carsons.

The Carson Household was a Count family based in the capital of the Empire, Uropolis. They had a highly secured residence near the centre of the city, a few kilometres away from the Citadel.

The family was quite close to the Imperial family, both in physical distance and relationships. Many of the auxiliary prince and princess had married the top sons and daughters of the family. Moreover, they were one of the strongest aristocratic families out there when it came to battle strength.

Hence, they were bestowed the responsibility to guard their first auxiliary treasury.

And this very treasury happened to keep what Elise needed. Moreover, the Carson's had their hands deeply inside the slave trading business.

Afternoon.

Both Adrian and Irene were sitting on the roof of a high class restaurant, looking towards the North.

There was huge structure which seemed to be made of stone. It, in fact, was a magical metal- which was even harder than stone. The massive establishment was as wide as it was tall. The tip of the the castle almost touched the sky. One could build ten large mansions from one corner of the palace to another adjacent corner, and there would still be some space left between the mansions.

Truly, it was worthy to be known as one of the three wonders of Ervilia. But their target was not that- at least not today.

Just across a few streets, there lied a grand manor. The walls surrounding the building was high. And several guards patrolled the premises. But these were the least of their concerns.

The sun was travelling towards the West, slowly but surely. The time was yet not ripe.

A few hours later, the sun hid behind the Western horizon. Moon was now the astral body that looked down on the ground.

But the traffic was still far from dying down- be it the case for the carriages, or the pedestrians. The street lamps below had automagically lit up, brightening up the roads. But it was still far from the perfect time.

A few hours more passed. Midnight.

The winter was coming. Mist enshrouded the dark night. The range of the magical lamps lowered to a considerable degree. Compared to a few hours ago- there were barely any carriage creaking through the streets. One or two figures walked down the isles.

The guards in the Carson residences dwindled. It was time for the shift to change, and for the duo- to make a move.

The two disappeared from the roof of the now closed restaurant. One shadow flashed through the roads.

They picked a spot which was clear of guards and hopped into the other side of the walls.

Both of their senses were exceeding strong. They scanned for all sorts of presences and sneaked to the main manor.

The density of guards there was high. But with the concealment abilities of the two, they easily creeped past them and jumped through one of the windows into the mansion.

It was a dark bedroom, meant for guests. But they did not bother to search for anything here.

Their senses scanned the entire building. The anti-sense circles could barely do anything to stop them. The lower floor only had servants and maids. Some were sleeping, some were still working, and a couple was secretly making out in a desolate storeroom.

On the upper floors, there were only ten individuals. One of the rooms had a couple lying on the bed- the previous count and countess. In another room, laid a couple- both of them sitting cross legged. And in the adjacent room two women were engaged in intimate activities. Both of them were the count's concubines. The other rooms were enclosing the count's children. Two were awake while the others slept.

Irene turned to Adrian.

"We can take care of them later." He said. "First things first, we need to secure what we need."

She nodded.

Both of them opened the door and walked into the main hall. The room was dark and silent.

Their footsteps made no sound as they walked past the hall into one of the storerooms.

Smooching sounds resounded through the silent room. A young couple- one wearing a maid outfit while the other wearing a servants' uniform were locked in a wild kiss. They were so engrossed that they did not even notice the creaking sound of the door.

Adrian turned to Irene and nodded.

She flicked her fingers. The couple froze, encased in a block of ice. Their lips were still locked onto each other while their arms wrapped around the now cold bodies into a hug. It was a romantic piece of art.

Adrian ignored the the fine sculpture and walked to the other side of the room. There was a plain concrete wall just before him.

"Do you sense it?" He asked.

"There's a magic circle- a locking mechanism on it. It's complex."

"It's customary that it's complex. It protect an unbelievable amount of riches after all. The key to this mechanism is complex. But the answer to finding it is easy- the Count."

He turned back to Irene. "Looks like we need to change the plans."

She nodded.

Adrian walked out of the room. She followed. Both of them walked up the dark and empty stairways to the upper floor.

Their stealth abilities were peaked to the maximum. Fortunately, the only level 9 circler in the family was sleeping. Hence, they could not afforded to make a noise.

If the alarm system were to be activated, not only reinforcements from the neighbouring families would come, even the Imperial family would send sentinels to protect the auxiliary treasury.

No matter how strong the two were, they were far from matching an army of level 7s, 8s and even 9s. Yes, they could easily run away, but that was definitely not their intention for coming here. Hence, they decided to go the stealth way, steal the treasures away and deal as much damage to the count family as possible before going away.

They reached before a door. Adrian turned to Irene and gestured her to stand down. She took a step back.

Adrian grabbed the handle, used magic to corrode the lock and abruptly pushed it open.

The two naked middle aged ladies whose fingers were inside each other's cunts and breasts were grinding together broke their kiss and looked towards the door in panic. But what they saw had them terrorised even more. They were expecting to be caught red handed by someone in the house. But what the witnessed was an unfamiliar individual wearing suspicious clothes.

They wanted to scream, but a terrifying pressure locked onto them- paralysing them, even their throats. Not a sound came out of their mouths.

Adrian smiled beneath his hood. The abrupt opening of the door caused them to panic, and it was enough for him to enshroud them in his demonic aura. He gestured Irene to come in.

Irene entered the room and closed the door.

Adrian got on the bed and sat before the two. Their fingers were still in their pussies. He looked into the pink eyes of one before looking into the pair of brown eyes.

He shook his head and moved behind them. He wrapped his arms around their necks; his hands reached their boobs. They were besmirched with the saliva of each other.

He began to fondle their breasts while cold sweats poured out of their body.

"You two hate that bitch for taking away your husband, don't you?" He asked. "You can answer with your eyes."

The two thought for a moment before they blinked.

"Good for you." He smiled. "I am here to 'take her out'. But your Lord husband is beside her now."

Both of their pupils trembled.

"So, I need your help."
