SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 139 Dragon Hall Strike

A crying woman is at a police station.

"I was just buying food for her. She was just sitting on a bench in the park. When I return, she is gone. I look for her everywhere, but I-I can't find her. Please find my daughter. S-She is all I have," pleads the woman as tears gush from her eyes.

After interviewing the woman, the policeman named Roel sighed and thought,"This is getting worse. Reports of missing people are increasing and most can't be found. There are suspects, but the big fish can't be put behind bars because of a lack of evidence. It felt like they know how to circumvent the law or someone is helping them circumvent the law.

I can see traces of a big syndicate forming in the government, from politicians to armed personnel. It will become a monster that will swallow our country. Sigh, how useful was my high grade in school and top place in the exam? I can't bear to kiss the asses of those pigs, so I am still a low-ranking officer. I envy Uncle Gin, as his decent boss noticed him, so he was promoted quickly. Should I just work for my uncle? Sigh, even Uncle is powerless against those big fish."

After processing the report from the woman, Roel can only tell her to wait for their report if there is progress on their investigation. The lips of the woman are trembling. She is probably holding herself back from wailing.

Roel grips his fists as he looks at the back of the woman. Her daughter is her only family.

In the headquarters of the Dragon Guards, there is an ongoing meeting in Dragon's Eye.

There are three screens that float over the hologram. The screens have pictures of three different sites.

"Tonight will be the first official operation of Dragon Hall. Me, Melody, and Seanlu will move first. Once you all reach the first level, you will also join the operation," said Edgar.

Everyone is present in Dragon's Eye. The dragon guards that cannot join the operation grip their fists. They too want to become part of a significant part of history that will never be recorded. The honey trap team looks concerned and prays that everything will be fine. Seanlu looks at Eric with a complacent smile.

"Damn Four Eyes!" Cursed by Eric in his mind.

Edgar pats Oscar's shoulder.

"I will be counting on you," said Edgar.

"No problem, boss! I will give my best to support," Oscar replied.

Edgar and Gin went to a room.

Inside the room, there are two men who are in their fifties, sitting on a chair and tied by an earth bind. They can't speak as something is stuff in their mouth.

Edgar went in first. The eyes of the two men look fierce. Their expressions are full of anger. They frantically try to break free from the earth bind, and they keep making sounds. They probably want to curse and threaten Edgar.

Gin came in with a cigarette in his mouth. The eyes of the two men turned wide.

Gin holds his cigarette and asked Edgar.

"Do we need to keep them alive?"

The two men look scared when they heard Gin. They look at Edgar and shake their heads as if saying that they will shut up and won't pursue the matter.

Edgar shakes his head, indicating that it isn't needed.He looks at the two men who pee on their pants.

"We know that you will die as scum, but everyone in the world will think of you as heroes, and you will die as heroes, so you should be thankful to us. Your names will become a glorious part of history," said Edgar as earth spikes came out of magic circles in the air and flew toward the two men.

In late evening, a woman with a mask is floating in the sky as her long white hair and cape are swaying.

LIFE DETECTION

Melody detected the kidnappers and children. The kidnappers are currently gambling while the children are kept in a room.

Her eyes are cold as she looks at the kidnappers. She took out her zither, then she flew down. She activated the camouflage on the armor, and then its color turned white.

The kidnappers are laughing as they gamble. It's the last laugh of their lives.

"Hahaha, Xuda, you are getting lucky lately!" said a kidnapper to his comrade, who is winning the gambling.

Xuda grins and says,"Shit! I even thought that karma was hitting me as I almost got imprisoned for suspected kidnapping. If not for the boss' connections, I am probably rotting in prison. It seems that even karma has to move away in front of our boss, hahahaha."

The other three kidnappers also laugh.

TNNNG! A sound of zither echoes and is heard by the kidnappers.

"Hmm? Did you hear something?" Xuda asked others.

They look around, and they can't find anyone playing a musical instrument. They shake their heads and continue their gambling.

Melody has already landed near them, but they can't see her because she made herself invisible.

Melody's concept can make the target see or not see what she wants once they hear her zither. Aura masters and magicians can still feel her energy, but she will be completely invisible to ordinary humans.

Melody swings her fingers on the strings, then small aura blades fly.

She walks toward the room where the children are kept. Behind her, the kidnappers have already fallen to the ground.

Edgar has already honed their will in illusion. They will not hesitate once they decided to finish the enemy.

Within a room, there are several children with tears in their eyes. They are holding back their tears, as the kidnapper will hit them if they cry or become noisy.

A five-year-old girl is holding a doll of her favorite superhero while murmuring and sniffling,"Sniff Sniff Mama, Mama is alone at home. S-She is very lonely when I'm not by her side."

Tears flow from the eyes of the five-year-old girl. Even at this time, she is more concerned about her mother.

A kidnapper is guarding the room. He is smoking and has a lecherous smile while watching an obscene video. He heard footsteps, but he thinks they belong to his comrade.

An aura blade flew toward the oblivious kidnapper.

Melody stands in front of the cage door. The aura that clad the zither turned pink, and then she strummed the strings.

TNNNG! The children inside heard the sound of the zither, then they heard the padlock being removed. Their faces are filled with fear as they thought that the kidnapper would hurt them again.

The children look at the door, and then they are shocked. It isn't a kidnapper, but a woman with long black hair and armor.

"M-Miu?!!" blurted the five-year-old girl. The doll that she is holding is called Miu, a superhero who fights nightmares that terrorize children in their sleep.

Melody smiles as she looks at the children.

"It's me. I already defeated the nightmares. It's time for you to wake up from this nightmare," said Melody.

The children cheer.

"Follow me," said Melody.

"S-Sister Miu, my name is also Miu. I'm your big fan," said the five-year-old girl, who is the youngest of the children. Melody is holding her hand. She pats the little girl's head and smiles at her. The children are in an illusion. They can't see the dead bodies of the kidnappers.

An electric minibus hacked and controlled by Oscar is waiting for the children outside of the house.

"I control the bus with my powers. When the door opens, you will already be in a safe place. I already talked to an uncle. He will help you return to your house. Do you understand?" asked Melody while in disguise as Miu.

The children nodded. The bus starts moving to its destination, the police station. Melody floats and smiles as she looks at the back of the bus.
