Chapter 215: Nagoya Trip Of Madness (IX)

It must have come as a surprise for this hooded person for me to approach. But he did not flee automatically when I talked to the hooded guy. He took a few steps away from me while scrutinizing me from head to toe and is currently judging me whether I am a friend or a foe.

"Who are you, are you a goon of this family?!"

"Wait, wait! Don't worry, I am not. If you are here to snoop around, then we have the same objective as I am also doing it!"

"Hmm? You are snooping around the property of the Katakura Family too? Do you have some business with these coldhearted people?"

"I don't know who they are but according to the clues I pieced together, I need to meet with them."

"Fat chance man. I mean, they are not as easy to meet as some people proclaim they are. In fact, they are one of the elusive families you will ever know around these parts. If you want to meet them, you need to have a stroke of fair luck to get at least one of their family to meet you in public."

"That elusive? What are they even doing to become this elusive?"

"Hush, we can't talk with that here, come with me, unless you want to get  caught by them that is."

...

We drove away from the Katakura residence and went to a small apartment not that far from the Katakura Residence. I temporarily rented a room here so that I can easily do what I am trying to do to the Katakura's.

His room is on the second floor and after we stopped in the very last room, he pulls out his key and opened the door.

"Come in, it might not be a big place and not as comfy as normal rooms but I can't help it, this place is where I am keeping my operations."

I entered the apartment and the first thing I smell is the strong smell of ink. It isn't just a smell where a bottle of ink spilled, it was like the whole place has been painted with ink. It is very strong even for my nose.

After removing my shoes and entering the interior, I saw different photos on the wall and there are pins with yarns attached to it, and pins them on the photos, that seem to connect like lines. It was similar to how detectives and police do track criminals and those who are accomplices of the mastermind.

There are also different amounts of papers on the table and they are all filled with different things that contain different information.

"Are you somehow a detective?" I asked.

"No. I am not a detective, I am just a father looking for his daughter," he said before pulling off the hoodie that is hiding his face.

It was a man in his mid-30s, a bit rough look on his face, but it hides a gentle look that many people won't easily notice. I have seen plenty of players in Alternate World who has a face like him who acts like a ruffian but was actually a father figure.

"You are not a detective? Then what is this flowchart with photographs of some people?"

"They are people I suspected to be connected to the disappearance of my daughter. That includes some of the Katakura's. I investigated them for two weeks already."

"You find something on them?"

"Not that much but I manage to get a few insider info and gather a few that I can solidify the claims. Although it is not enough, I think it will be a good thing for me on my case and to nail the final coffin on finding where my daughter was."

He went to the coffee machine and pour coffee beans inside and started to brew them. "How about you? If you are snooping around, you must have some reason why you would do that?"

"I am on the trail on the disappearance of my father. After finding clues and talking to the people who were acquainted with my father, the final part is currently with the Katakura family. He currently has a feud with them so I don't know whether they do have a connection to his disappearance or not."

"It depends. Katakura family is currently one who operates an underground faction of syndicate around. I don't know the details but they are slowly turning into a mafia. I also heard nasty rumors that they are somewhat involved in various disappearances of some people around the area. It was not proven but lately, I have seen plenty of posters of missing people. I am now doubting whether the people are just trying to stay quiet so that the Katakura family won't disturb them."

Oh, I have indeed noticed those posters. I didn't pay attention to it since I am more focused on my goals is but now that he brought it up, I have noticed what he is saying about missing people.

"Do you have any means of secret entry to the mansion?" I asked.

"If I do have one, I would be already breaching the security of these people. However, I don't have one. The Katakura family's property is full of guards and I think they are in always constant rounds. I doubt entering the place will yield good results. Though I have indeed some plans."

"Oh?" I was intrigued.

"I have seen a few parts of the walls of the place that seemed to be on the weak side of the defense. I am not saying they are part of the easy access. I doubt it will happen but it is the weakest part. If anyone wanted to sneak in, that place has the highest chance of success for anyone to be undetected."

"You got my attention, please continue."

...

...

Due to the guy, I managed to acquire quite a good amount of ways to break inside the place. If there are chances that my father is in there, then my only way to check on it is to break inside. With valuable info, I decided that this is the time I needed to find my father. If the rumors are correct, then my father must be inside. I don't believe he will flee from the debt and leave my mother alone.

After the plan was formulated, I decided that the best way to perform this is indeed nighttime as it is the perfect way to keep yourself anonymous.

'The back of the Katakura Mansion has lighter security. Although it is lighter, it is still not an easy task to get in. That place is being guarded by wolf dogs. Highly trained dogs that would rip apart any of the intruders. Although this is not as hard as the humans, the dogs still pose quite a big threat. They can rip you apart if you move wrongly.'

I can't find a good way to say that it is not easy to deal with dogs as they are noisy and can attract others. However, that's when I realized why he said that dogs are much easier compared to humans. Since the dogs are much sensitive to intruders, they wouldn't hesitate to bark and since they are wolfdogs, they can easily tear your body down to pieces.

But, not if they are being silenced. Due to this suggestion of his, I have an idea to infiltrate the place.

Nighttime. 

It is raining like last night, however, the rain is not as heavy compared before so this rain won't cover my movement. Wearing a black skull hoodie with a skull mask to complete the attire, I climb the walls and stood atop of them. I made sure to scan from time to time in case some enemies will come.

There are two big dog houses safe from the rain. Though this is no longer looking like a normal dog house, the dog houses are way too huge for a normal dog house for a wolfdog. Although Wolf dogs are big dogs, they are not that big to have this dog house. It was like a mini house that you can make a small room to sleep at night. A human can curl inside it and can still fit a few more people inside.

Now that I managed to take a good close look, there were two black hairy creatures inside. It was very black, like jet black darkness. However, they are moving and are currently sleeping inside their respective dog houses.

For some unknown reason, I find the two dogs to be similar to a creature in Alternate World, the Chimera hybrid. They are level 125 elite monsters and can be found deep in the jungle of Sandurk and they are sometimes spotted in Resurgia. According to the lore, they are the failed creation of a certain scientist out from combining human and animal. Due to how the abomination happened, the Chimera Hybrid is born.

However, I have a bad feeling about these two. My suspicions are sometimes wrong but I have a strong feeling that this is not the case for me this time. These two "Wolfdogs" are not just normal wolf dogs. I am no longer taking this infiltration lightly and materialize my weapon.
