Chapter 100: Elizabeths


    Margaret moaned louder than ever, entering a state of bliss and eyes flew open as she began convulsing in pleasure, before her vision went ck and she slipped out of consciousness.


    ude, who noticed that Margaret had be unconscious, pulled out of her, walked towards his clothes that wereying down on the ground, and put them back on.


    He then turned around and walked towards the door, opened it and stepped out.


    "Now, let''s check this ce out..."


    ude walked out of the room he was in, looking at both sides to make sure that there weren''t any guards in the vicinity, and then charged towards the stairs without making any noise.


    ude had investigated about the Azure Lion n in advance and found out that all of their n members resided inside their giant mansion, which was separated into different sectors ording to the ranks held by these members.


    ude knew that because she was the eldest daughter of the n head, Margaret was residing within the luxurious VIP sector of the Azure Lion n Mansion, which was much more expensive to stay in than the normal residential sectors.


    And since he hadn''t heard of anyone who''s highly influential within the Azure Lion n with the name Elizabeth, he surmised that she had to be someone who resided in the residential sectors.


    As he raced down the staircase, ude remembered what he had learned about the girl with the name of Elizabeth.


    Before he entered the public house, ude had spent his day going around the city of Soderberg, trying to get any form of information about the injured girl that he had seen back in the Gryfino forest.


    Through his investigation utilising his highly enhanced sensory organs, ude was able to learn that there were three girls with the name of Elizabeth within the Azure Lion n.


    And there wasn''t any news about the disappearance of anyone named Elizabeth within the Azure Lion n either, although ude had expected this situation already.


    After all, an expedition that involved the search for the White Dragon''s teeth would definitely be something that wouldn''t be disclosed to the public, or even most n members for that matter.


    "And even if someone had knowledge about her mission, I''m not sure if they havee to the conclusion that she''s already dead either..." ude narrowed his eyes as he moved down, opening the door to the first floor as he reached the end of the staircase.


    As ude didn''t know how long the expedition was supposed tost, he wasn''t sure whether or not the n hade to a conclusion about her situation. But whatever the situation might be, ude knew that he definitely had to find Elizabeth''s room.


    Plop!


    "Someone''s near..." ude stopped in his tracks as his enhanced senses were able to detect the presence of someone else''s spiritual energy near him.


    "It''s the butler he''s standing outside the building." ude focused his sensory organs to get a better grasp of the identity of this specific individual, and realized that this person had the same kind of energy patterns as the young butler whom he had met right before entering the building. It seemed that he was still keeping guard right in front of the gigantic doors.


    ''Is he in charge of guarding Margaret?'' ude, who realised that his exit path was blocked, decided to look for other ways to sneak out of the building. He could simply use the exit door which was located at the back of the building, but it simply led to the outside of the mansion, and was also monitored by the n guards.


    He stopped and controlled the strength of his aura and the spiritual energy that he was emitting to mask his presence, and then charged towards one of the windows on the first floor.


    Shua!


    ude lowered his body and knelt under the window, and after taking a few moments to make certain he wasn''t making any noise and the young butler wasn''t paying any attention to his location, ude slowly opened the window and slipped through without alerting the butler who was standing on guard, escaping from the VIP sector building sessfully.


    He then did his best to move in the long shadows of the giant trees and hurriedly fled towards a nearby tree and hid behind it, ncing at the guards who were on patrol duty, and tried remembering the route to the residential sector. As the carriage had passed through the residential sector to reach the VIP sector building, it had given ude ample time to memorize and map out the locations and the routes inside the entire Azure Lion n.


    ''I can''t move quickly if I have to keep hiding like this. I need to be even faster,'' ude raised his head from behind the tree and picked his target, a tired guard who was fifty meters or so away from his location.


    ude waited in the shadows and out of the corner of his eye, watched his target move back while yawning, his back towards him, and he slowly began approaching the guard from behind.


    Zoom!


    udeunched himself at his target and utilising his floating footsteps technique to increase his speed to the maximum of his abilities, he arrived behind the unsuspecting and sleep deprived guard before he could even realize what was going on.


    ZAM!


    Without wasting any time, ude stretched out his hand from behind and with a short but brutal strike, he mmed his palm upwards, mming against the guard''s lower jaw with all his might, and with a loud crack, the guard went out cold, slumping down as ude caught his body.


    He looked around quickly to make sure he was still in the clear, and immediately pulled the guard''s body behind the tree and began stripping him of his clothes.


    ude then removed the clothes that he was wearing and donned the uniform of the guard, and then walked out of the shadows a few minutester. He still moved way too slow, but he was faster now than before.


    *****************


    It took ude fifteen minutes to reach the residential sector. He could''ve utilized his maximum speed if he wanted to, but he was certain that the experienced guards would be alert if he did so.


    ude stared at the amount of buildings within the residential sector. There were more than thirty buildings within the residential sector, and ude released a sigh of relief, d that he had already gotten the information about the buildings of the three residents with the name Elizabeth when he was investigating their backgrounds.


    ude found himself entering the apartment building number fifteen first, which was supposed to be the building were the n member named Elizabeth Kirby resided. He moved to the side and opened one of the windows and entered the building without making any noise. As ude entered the building, he realized that although these residential buildings looked expensive on the outside, the rooms were tightly packed together on the inside. ude slowly walked towards the office which was located on the first floor. After making sure that there were no traces of spiritual energy present, ude slowly opened the door and entered the room. He began going through various books that were lying on the table and pulled out the caretaker''s notebook, which had all the names of the residents, along with their room and floor numbers on it.


    ording to the notebook, Elizabeth Kirby was on the fourth floor, and so ude carefully ced the notebook right where he found it and immediately moved to the staircase.


    As ude made his way to the third floor, he entered a dark and dim hallway, and his footsteps immediately became much more soft in response. Elizabeth Kirby''s room was four rooms down to his right side, and ude slowly moved forward, taking every step with care and caution as he passed the first door.


    Stop!


    ude''s enhanced sensory skills yed its part once again, and he was able to feel a soft presence of spiritual energy from the room that was supposed to be Elizabeth''s and he narrowed his eyes.


    Was this just the wrong Elizabeth''s room, or was it someone looking for information about the White Dragon''s teeth?


    ude focused on his senses once again, and he was able to figure out that the spiritual energy and the aura that this person was emitting was extremely faint, which meant that this was simply an inexperienced cultivator, and not someone who would have the ability to sneak inside one of the Azure Lion n member''s room. This meant that it was most likely the owner of the room, which also meant that this wasn''t the Elizabeth that he had seen.


    With a sigh, ude turned around, and walked towards the staircase once again. As this Elizabeth wasn''t the one he was looking for, this meant that he had to go through two more residential buildings.
