Sivan looked through the reports once again after going through the videos.
The scene left at every scene is similar. There are dozens if not hundreds of bodies left at each place and every building and infrastructure was turned to ruins. Finally every place has the same three words.
SAM WAS HERE.
"The problem is not with you guys. It is with me." Sivan muttered calmly. As the twelve members are looking at the images curiously while they are drawing some speulations inside their heads, Sivan ordered them to leave the room and only kept the two men who brought the reports.
"Did you guys find any minor leads? Your reports said that there are no major leads, anything minor or any insignificant dead-end clue?"
"No, young master." One of them said directly.
Sivan turned to the second one who looked at Sivan directly. Instead of answering the question he asked one of his own.
"Young master, do you know who attacked me? Why did the same attacker go after the two organizations that are not known to be related to the outside world. Even both of us don't know each other, but how did someone outside know of us and even went after our branches and subordinates?"
Sivan looked at him with a frown. Butler Si also looked coldly, he was about to issue the warning, but the man continued.
"Young master Sivan. My daughter died in that person's hands. That fucking coward attacked every organization sneakily, he didn't dare go after the main branches and direct business. He just destroyed the weaker branches and every time, he escaped before we knew it.
I want to know who did this. I want to kill him with my own hands.
All this while, I was thinking that it was my enemy, who did this, but there was no way that our two organizations can have the same enemy. From the sectors we operate in, I can guess that we don't cross each other paths at all.
You are the only common point here, you are the only connection to both our organizations. You are the boss of our two organizations, which means the enemy that came at us, is not our enemy, it is your enemy.
Am I right?"
Sivan looked into his eyes for a few seconds and said.
"You are right. He is my enemy." His voice was calm and Butler Si was surprised by that. Sivan is someone that couldn't tolerate anyone trying to exert dominance over him, even the slightest signs would enrage him, but here someone is directly questioned boldly to his face.
Even if it is Sivan's enemy, the other party shouldn't be speaking this much. Sivan would have put them down a long time ago. But now not only did he just let the guy speak without interrupting, but he is also even enabling him.
"If he is your enemy, how did he manage to find out the link between your subordinate organizations? From what I know, even your clan members are completely unaware of our cooperation."
"But this person is aware. He knows a lot of other information too."
"Then, please give me a lead to killing this person. I wouldn't be able to have a moment of peace if I don't kill him. I cannot stand the thought of letting him get away with killing my daughter. I want to kill him. I want to destroy him."
His expression turned hysterical as he spoke and Sivan smiled coldly at that. He looked at the remaining guy and said.
"Keep on investigating, but do not take any action until I tell you so, I will be sending a team to help you with the investigation process. Did you find out the secret locations of your subsidiaries?"
"No young master. They were extremely secretive about that throughout our cooperation. As you know that was the condition when we poached them to be with us. We even tried soul necromancy in the scenes, but not a single soul was left behind. Everything was cleaned up.
There are some minor traces of death energy and my necromancer told me that there are some traces of soul necromancy on the body. If the other party really got the information from them, then the secret bases would have also been destroyed."
Sivan nodded and replied.
"Then you can leave. Use my share of this year to restore the losses, try to poach another organization that is similar to the previous ones. Now, try to keep in contact with me from now on. The usual channel will once again open."
The man stood up and left the place.
Sivan turned to the first guy who was questioning him.
"Take off your mask."
The man did so revealing a kind of aged face. He looked like a man in his fifties and his face is showing his suppressed anger and rage. He is barely keeping himself in check.
Sivan smiled and patted him.
"I am really sorry about what happened. I didn't expect this coward to go after you guys and I am sorry you weren't able to contact me. I would have saved you if I had known, but as you know I am adjusting to my new changes and in a difficult state myself.
But I will help you take revenge.
The reason why he wasn't coming for the main branches is that he is weak. He shouldn't be stronger than the late-stage Transcendence of the Astral Plane.
And from what I see with these reports, I can guess what his plausible targets could be. He would be going after the weaker branches of the other organizations that are under me.
The other guy that was in the room until now is still under attack and there are only a few organizations left under him, so I will give you the locations and you can go there and find him. Torture him or kill him as you like, don't hesitate."
With that, Sivan took out some documents from his own storage and gave them to him along with the reports.
"Rupurn. I am trusting you with this information and this operation. You can do whatever you want with him to vent your anger. But you should kill him no matter what happens. Do you understand?"
Rupurn, the old man, took the documents with a bright expression. He was really happy that Sivan gave him this.
He knew that if Sivan got angry with his behavior he might have been killed, but he still decided to give it a try. He couldn't just swallow the fact that his daughter died unjustly. He couldn't even find her body.
So, he didn't care whether Sivan would decide to keep him and his organization intact if he pissed him off, he only wants to kill Sam at this point and he decided he would do whatever it takes. But since Sivan is supportive, he is happy.
He took the documents and left.
After he left, Sivan's expression distorted. It became uglier and uglier as he suppressed his rage.
"How? How? HOW? HOW CAN HE FUCKING DO THIS? HOW CAN HE EVEN BE CAPABLE OF THIS? THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE AT ALL. BUT WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHY WAS HE ABLE TO DO THIS?"
He started yelling on top of his lungs as he controlled his urge to berserk, but even his energy is not under his control, the golden flames, hurricane winds, poison, lightning, the earth, and metal energy, everything is completely out of control. All the furniture in the room was destroyed and the damage is spreading on the walls like crazy.
Butler Si looked at him with a worried expression, but he didn't stop. He knew that Sivan would take it out on himself if he didn't vent his anger. So, he let him be for a while.
After some time, Sivan calmed down and looked at Butler Si.
"Butler Si, tell me how is this possible? How can he know the locations of my organizations? The people that provide me with manpower, the people that work under me, the very foundation of my power was damaged by him. How does he know their locations?"
"Young master…"
"I am asking you Butler Si, please give me an answer."
"He must have digested your soul."
"How is he able to do this? How can he be this strong? He was stripped off of his own body and he was thrown into an unfamiliar body that was completely crippled. His soul was torn into two and his mental energy should be weaker than it ever was. Even the spatial ring he carried didn't have anything but some recovery potions when he disappeared.
How did he break through before I could?
How did he digest the soul before I could?
How could he even get used to that crippled body and become that strong before I could even get used to this perfect specimen of a body?
How did he bounce back and destroy so many organizations?
Butler Si, how can I get these answers? Why is this happening?"
