PREPARING EVIDENCE

"Can you hack into the city's server and gather the log list of the people who entered and left the city."

Asked Robin to Jasper as he sat down on the chair in his room. But thought to himself,

'This guy is always reading something and updating his knowledge. He is a dedicated guy'

Hearing Robin's question, Jasper who was busy reading something said,

"Yes, Boss. I can."

"Then get me the information about the individuals that came in and went out through the gates on the dates before the butchering duo's massacres happend. Take out merchants and mercenaries that went with the merchants. Those guys won't mingle with the masses. Take out families too."

Saying that Robin closed his eyes and entered into thinking mode.

Actually, Robin knows who the head butchering duo was. He saw them yesterday in the main hall of the Rose inn when the Hawks were investigating. They were there in their disguise form. They knew some high-level disguise art that easily fooled everyone, but in front of Robin who can see through all disguises with his 'All-Seeing Eyes' is was a child's play. One of the benefits of cultivating Faceless cultivation art is this skill All-seeing eyes, that could dissolve all types of illusion before him. Robin thought about exposing them, but things took a turn as three random people commented and turned the whole ordeal toward him.

'I will never ever forget that three voices.'

At that time if he exposed them, the head butchering duo would have pointed him as a perpetrator. So he was planning an escape route and those old guys group helped him with that.

Still, Robin didn't expose them, even after he was safe, due to a single reason.

Envy.

Robin was a person who lived a terrorizing life in the past. In that life, he had faced many adversaries. One of them is people envious of talents. As he started to become a well-known Assassin, a lot of other Assassins attempted to kill him, some to gain fame while the others to eliminate a threat. The same happened even in the Evil Cult, he destroyed. A lot of his information comes from the insiders in the cult due to envy of others' development or because you feel jealous they are gifted and you are not. So Robin was keen to not expose his specialness to anyone.

If Robin, exposed those guys yesterday, lots of questions will arise. How do you know? Are you colluding with them? If you know why didn't you expose them?

And even if Robin didn't say that, he can see through disguises, some people will deduct it. Then his end will be the same as the monk and the snake kid, he saw in the dark space. Robin knew, exposing one's power is harmful sometimes.

Even yesterday there were lots of people present in the inn with disguise, some were even powerful than Robin. There were people in the True Realm. If they knew some will chase him for the Cultivation Art while others will, for removing potential informants.

After short thinking, Robin made the plan to make a 'bet' yesterday to divert their attention. Now people will think that Robin found the head butchering duo with the help of others or by gathering information and investigating or some other means. They wouldn't think there is a guy, who can see through all disguises.

'Hehe… '

thinking his indigenous plan, Robin laughed to himself

"Boss, I have shortlisted to 20 people. Check it out"

Saying that Jasper made a small hand motion, upon which a holographic screen appeared before Robin,

'Wow. This guy really is efficient sometimes'

Robin looked through the names and found both those duo's disguise form.

'This duo is expertise in their work. While one person left the city with the disguised identity, the other went out as a random guy. Or they go out of the city with their disguised identity and come into the city with a random identity. Then they leave the city with a random identity and come back in with their disguise identity and leave again with the random identity. So that's the reason those guys couldn't be found. If you investigate, you will only be running in a cycle.'

If Robin didn't know their identities similarly he too would have hit an iron sheet,.

'Still, I need more proof.'

"Jasper, hack into these two's Openbook Accounts and see if they went offline during those incidents and their chats"

Said Robin as he pointed the duo.

Jasper started his work and hacked their Openbook Account.

After 10 minutes Jasper showed their chats to Robin,

"Hehe… just like I thought these guys are having communications in Openbook."

'Just like Earth, even a terrorist can chat with a random account in social media freely without worry, until you meet the cybercrime unit.'

This information would be enough to expose those head butchering guys.

_____

Robin walked down from the first floor of the inn and entered the main hall of the inn. He strode straight to the Manager's desk when there were about twenty Hawks people are waiting for him. Cras was sitting in a separate room in the main hall.

When Cras' subordinates saw Robin was down, one of them entered the room and informed Cras.

"Leader, he came down"

Cras smirked and said,

"Okay, let's wrap this quick and move out to catch that thief "

Hearing that his subordinates nodded, as much as they are concerned, Robin is bluffing. He would just shame himself now in front of everyone and they have more important work than Robin on their plate.

As for Robin, even though he saw that Hawks are standing in the dining hall, in front of a room. He acted like he didn't see them at all. He walked to the manager and asked,

"Are there high-quality rooms in your inn?"

The Manager who saw Robin walking towards him, stood up and then on hearing his question, he smiled and said,

"Of course sir, they are on the second floor. They are special rooms. With a hall and a bedroom. And television and mana conditioner are attached to both hall and the room, with free meals, at just 100 gold coins per day."

'Yep, money is everything.'

Robin asked,

"What about the third floor"

Manager said,

"Hehe… that's the luxury floor, 200 gold coins per day. It's has a main hall, a garden, and two rooms. Everywhere is mana conditioned. Everything you use there is luxurious furniture. A 70 inches television is attached in both the hall and room, plus luxury meals."

Robin nodded and said,

"Luxury Room for five days"

And transferred the 1000 gold coins by scanning the Manager's bracelet through the Bank Accounts but in the name of Anonymous. Because he is transferring from his Assassin bank account.

'It's as simple as a swipe to conduct a transaction'

The Manager didn't say anything about Robin transferring Anonymously.

The Hawks who are watching Robin's attitude that was uncaring… put them in a dilemma.

As for Robin, his inner monologue was that,

'Would that head butchering duo have a strong background… will I have to make a run after finishing the business here.'

Raising his head, he saw the Hawks walking towards him,

WHATEVER… Here comes the stepping stone.
