CHAPTER 40

"Ma'am, our intelligence reported that the scrolls incident has been resolved, but it wasn't done by our men. It was by ….. An invisible force.", the man said. He was speaking to the beautiful woman in front of him. The beauty was unparalleled and so was the talent behind it. She had been an immigrant, and yet had managed to successfully become the representative who could be voted for in the upcoming elections.

"Is.. that so. They will definitely come here then. Anna told me. They will definitely come here.", she said. She had sparkly pearl eyes, but was devoid of emotion. This woman was Lust.

Due to this fact, Lust had promoted herself to the post of representative. She wanted to support this person, as a fallen person. She was tied by fate, she had given in to the voice at that time.

"Finally ! I can buy an inn with a piano in it !", Arata said.

"Yes Nice to see cars moving around and libraries all over the place.", Rachel said. They had successfully got a hotel, using their identities. They used the Clover identities they had before the formation of the Alvarez empire. Many people had come to them and told them to renew their ID card, little did they know, that it has been 2 years since they hadn't paid their taxes, and could not be considered as the citizens of Clover.

Finally, after 12 days of not playing piano, Arata touched a piano. Although it was a bit of a tune, Arata still played Lieberstraum by Liszt to ease himself and Arata. After that he taught Rachel to tune a piano and they continued to play many more pieces. The three movement Black Vatican was also almost fully written. So he tried playing it.

"It was beautiful. I kind of understand what you mean by the flow of music in martial arts now. Although, now it's time to evolve our styles into assassination.", Rachel said.

"Yes, That's true..", Arata said.

In total, there were 10 representatives who were going to fight for the elections, and the current leader of Spade Union was Chengyan. But the most interesting candidate was Lucia. She had risen to the party in just half a year, and become a representative just two days before. Either she had solid connections or she was just that capable. Arata had a feeling that she was not that simple of a character.

The Eastern Spade kingdom was actually small, and all of the representatives lived in the same city, the capital of Eastern Spade, Siri.

So they again followed the same principle, to either break in the house or just do it in broad daylight. But this time, Arata and Rachel decided to make it more interesting. There was apparently a council meeting cum dining between the 10 representatives and the leader of the Union, Chengyan tomorrow.

That would be the best place to do it. Obviously, this would have high security, and breaking in would be tough. Sniping would also be tough for 1) the sniper guns were pretty rare 2) There were too many people. Also, it did not look like Arata and Rachel's style. Food poisoning was not effective if someone doesn't eat or realizes, so the only option was to actually break into the room.

The selected hotel was 10 floors high and the representatives were going to be on the top floor. No one would be allowed within the building during this duration. Parkour was out of the question, as the building was too high compared to the surroundings. Of course, Arata could just become one of the guards or just be invisible, but then Rachel wouldn't be included. Plus, if they killed like Arata, it would start a commotion, so the plan was to remove everyone's hearts, or damage the brain, so that it would be considered supernatural.

Finally, Arata decided to sneak into Lucia's house at night and check her out. Arata had a hunch about her. And so did Rachel.
