Chapter 308: 308

Evangeline was resting inside her office which was currently dimly lit, when her phone started ringing . When Evangeline saw the message she couldn"t help but smile . It would seem that her prediction was right . Two days prior, Evangeline was alerted to the fact that Niel, Emily, and Kei have disappeared . Their bodies could not be found, and the time they disappeared were very close to one another . Evangeline gaining this information quickly figured out that they were captured and she had a hunch which group captured them .

Even though she was of the information gathering type, Emily was an A rank merc . It was also rumored that her brother that was an S rank merc was protecting her . So that would mean someone that could match or surpa.s.s an S rank appeared to capture Emily and Kei .

The same could be said of Niel . Even though he was currently a B rank merc, Niel has never really shown his full power . Evangeline could speculate from the reports that Niel was keeping a trump card hidden just in case something happens .

With that knowledge at hand, Evangeline knew that Niel"s current strength would be that of an A rank merc, but if he uses his trump card he would most likely be rated as an S rank merc, well only when it comes to combat that is .

So that would mean he to was captured by someone as strong or stronger than S rank merc . Now only a few people fit this description, one of them being Arthur Glory, but he has no reason to capture the people from the Mercenary Club . So after a process of elimination Evangeline came to a conclusion that it was Alex"s supposed grandfather that"s behind this .

It was entirely possible that Alex"s grandfather was a member or the leader of a huge organization that doesn"t belong to a specific country and most of the members seem to be absurdly strong . There are only three organizations that currently fit this description . Based on Evangeline"s understanding the other two couldn"t possibly have done this, and the only one left should be the answer .

"It was the Shadow Mercenaries, right?" Evangeline turned her chair around and saw a man in the middle of the room . This man was wearing an all black attire, on his right hand was a whip, and on the left was a sub machine gun . The man"s face was that of an average looking citizen of the Souther Union, black hair with a dark brown skin color .

The man was currently looking at Evangeline a bit confused . He wasn"t expecting Evangeline to act so calm in front of him, and it would seem that she had been expecting him since the beginning . He suddenly thought that might be the reason why there was no one guarding her office . Base on the reports about her, she was more of a commander type, than a fighter . She had a lot of subordinates that were above average in most areas . Yet none of them were here, making the man from the Shadow Mercenaries feel like he was in a trap .

Still as a member of the powerful group Shadow Mercenaries the man wasn"t that worried . So what if it is a trap, so what if she has something planned . In front of overwhelming power she won"t be able to do anything . These were the thoughts of the man from the Shadow Mercenaries .

"Yes, it is like you said Evangeline Kain, I am indeed from the Shadow Mercenaries . You can call me Drake . I"m here to offer you an invite to a party of one of your friends Dalvir Greyhound, or better known to you as Alexander Samarita . "

When Drake spoke Alex"s name he noticed Evangeline"s expression changed, it happened for a brief moment, but he was sure that the face the little lady shown was something that was a mix of different emotions . Well Drake didn"t really care about that and continued what he was saying .

"So Evangeline Kain, come with me and I will escort you back to my base where the party will be held . I was recently informed that some of your other friends have already arrive . "

Drake then waited for Evangeline"s reply . Of course he could just force her to come, but that would be more of a ha.s.sle than just letting her go with him on her own free will . Evangeline looked like she was contemplating, but then she looked at Drake and smiled .

"Sorry I can"t go yet, I don"t have a present to give . So I want more time to find the best present . "

"There"s no need for that . Evangeline Kain you better come with me now, while I"m asking nicely . " Drake was now getting a bit impatient and directly threatened Evangeline who responded by shaking her head .

Unable to take it anymore Drake was about to charge towards Evangeline, but felt something snap onto his leg . It was pretty painful and when Drake looked at what had harmed him, he saw that he actually stepped on a bear trap . At first glance he couldn"t see it since the trap blended nicely to the floor .

Evangeline stood up with a smile on her face, this made Drake even more irritated . "Do you think this kind of sh*tty trap can actually stop me?! I was going to bring you back without any injuries, but I changed my mind! Richter never said to bring you back unharmed, he just said to bring you alive!"

Drake was about to charge forward in a rage, but then saw Evangeline gesture to stop . Of course Drake didn"t want to listen, but for some reason his instincts told him to do as Evangeline said .

"Good boy . " After saying that line, Evangeline turned on the lights, that was when Drake finally noticed the numerous traps on the floor . He also finally noticed that their were people hiding behind the paintings surrounding the room . Not only that Drake could hear the footsteps of people entering the building and heading to the room he was in .

"So Mister Drake, I hope you cooperate with me so that I can give Alex the best present ever . "
