CHAPTER 42

"What !", Arata and Rachel said. They were thoroughly surprised. So she actually didn't have the right to kill ? Wow. And that too she tried to threaten Arata. Arata was laughing at this thought.

"I knew you would react this way !", she sneered at Arata. Lust had also sensed Rachel also was going to die soon, sooner then Arata. They both weren't simple. What had they gained and what had they lost ? She was curious. But now was not the time.

"So, what can you do ?", Arata asked Lust.

"Hmm… I could remove the guards on the door and on the route I give you. That will be enough. And here you go.", Lust said while giving out to cards.

"These are visiting cards. They are made for fans and people who are closer to 'politicians' like me. It will enable you to come in through the path I will give you.", she said.

She then gave a map of the building. The Building - Spade Tower, was truly a magnificent modern architecture. It had 10 floors high and had a complex design to provide a user friendly environment. The pulleys in the elevator were pretty complicated too, to provide proper movement. There were some floors which had more heights and some had less. Like on the 5 th floor, there was a hall, which was thrice the size of normal floors. So the whole building could be more of a 12 floor building. The path highlighted was from there.

There was also a banquet for visitors on the 5th floor. The banquet was organized for the exclusives who would get the information first hand from the representatives. Arata and Rachel were going to attend this, and then after the meeting started for the top secret information, they would leave from the hall and go till the eighth floor which was normally empty. From there, they will have to do a series of acrobatic moves from the windows and ceiling to reach the window of the 10th floor. the 8th floor is the place in Lust's control, so she could remove guards from that place.

And so the plan was executed the following night. Arata and Rachel bought a set of formal banquet clothes with all the money they had collected. It was pretty lavish. Arata and Rachel took a luxurious taxi, to create an image and went to the 5th floor. It's not necessary to say that Arata and Rachel looked perfect together. An unparalleled beauty with a handsome man. It also wasn't common for people to see different hair colours, so people flocked to them. In spade, no one knew them. Arata and Rachel did not particularly enjoy the spotlight, but dealt with it.

The dinner was also pretty lavish. It wasn't the first time for Arata and Rachel to be in such a banquet, but they had been so only one or twice during meets or exhibitions. But still, that was only in Clover capital, not in Alvarez or Spade.

That's why it was easier for Mahler to track down the people who Arata and Rachel met and remove their memories of them.

"What do you do ? What are your passions ?", and so on were the questions asked. Arata and Rachel answered them as they expected, not disclosing any information about the assassination and cultivation. They were mostly politicians, so Arata and Rachel answered according to them.

After the banquet, Arata and Rachel slipped out of the banquet hall. As their clothes were a bit restraining, they couldn't go as fast as they could. They took the elevator to the 8th floor, they also picked a particular time, so that no one was in the elevator.

On reaching the 8th floor, they looked out of the particular window they had to go up through and climbed it. They removed their outer banquet clothes, as they had comfortable ones on the inside.

"The heat was killing me !", Rachel said. The gowns are already very heavy, and plus she had an extra pair of clothing underneath, so she felt suffocated.

"Totally right ! Now, let's go !", Arata said. Their palms were sweaty, as they were on the 8th floor, and had to climb up 2 floors quickly. They did feel some fear, but it had soon turned into excitement.
