Chapter 384 - Thinking About The Past
Taya, Umilia, Nyissa, Ayana, and Eva were standing in the underground room of the Snow Mansion, where all five of them were standing around a large table with an interactive display on it.
With these five stunning beauties gathered in one room, even a eunuch wouldn\'t mind losing his soul to the devil just to admire the collective beauty and radiance of these women for just a day.
However, right now, all these five had assembled for a very serious matter, and they all knew this was only something they could do, especially since Viktor wasn\'t here to help them with this.
"Eva, are you sure the information you gathered is correct?" Taya asked as her eyebrows drew together.
Eva parted her hair behind her ear as she firmly nodded, "I am 95% sure that certain men from Vision Biosolutions frequent this godown where they conduct various operations. On paper, it is just a storage place to store and move medicines. But they have a hidden facility where they are doing something they definitely do not want anybody else to know. We can only find out for sure if we infiltrate this facility and maybe find a connection to the pseudo-vampires and that powerful woman who attacked Umi that night."
Nyissa crossed her arms as she asked, "And how exactly did you get this information?"
Eva looked at her as she answered, "I discreetly asked one of the men frequenting here about what was going on here. Even though his paygrade wasn\'t enough to know the details, he was kind enough to tell me that nothing good was going on there."
"Aunt, what do you think? Is it wise to investigate that facility without getting more information?" Nyissa asked Umilia, who took a deep breath as her expression turned into one of contemplation.
Umilia answered after a few moments of contemplation, "We already know that pseudo vampires run through our streets who may or may not be stable like in Linard\'s case. We also don\'t know if they are out there harming people in the darkness or not or when our own family will get affected as well. So even if it\'s risky, we must find out what is going on before it is too late. If we can get some sort of proof, then we can involve the keepers of this realm to act as well."
"By keepers…you mean…" Taya asked curiously.
"The society of mages and witches that keep watch over our realm, though they don\'t show their faces unless the entire realm is in danger. Mine and Nyissa\'s clan is just one of them, though ours is not that big or powerful enough to take any action. We still need orders from above to make a move as an entire clan, and that is why we should do this. But that doesn\'t mean this won\'t be dangerous, and we can\'t have our identities exposed."
Taya nodded as she said, "I know we might probably be dealing with people that are not exactly humans but stronger than humans like me. But that doesn\'t mean I can\'t fight as long as I have the right weapon. Nyissa, I believe you can help Eva and me with this, right?"
Nyissa nodded firmly, "I can simply infuse the weapons you both already have with my cursed arts. They should be enough to kill the pseudo vampires. They, anyway, wouldn\'t be as strong as the real ones, according to what my aunt learned after dealing with them. Still, you both should be careful and should try not to let them get too close. They probably won\'t use any weapons due to their confidence to take few bullets bullets, but their hands and teeth are their strongest weapons."
If Umilia hadn\'t told Nyissa about how skilled Taya was in fighting, she would have rather suggested Taya sit this one out since Taya was an ordinary civilian after all.
But she also knew that even if one doesn\'t have odic force in their bodies, they can still hurt supernatural beings as long as they possess really extraordinary skills coupled with the right weapons. And Taya was trained for more than a decade by an immortal coupled with her consistent training on her own every day of her life after Viktor left.
Of course, even with all this, it would still be very difficult to kill a supernatural being depending on their strength. But against pseudo vampires, Umilia and Nyissa believed that Taya and Eva could handle them.
As for that mysterious, powerful woman with the deadly hands, all of them had a tacit understanding that Umilia and Nyissa would handle her in case they came upon her.
"Of course. Let\'s suit up then," Taya said as each of them began to make preparations for this mission.
Taya and Eva handed over their weapons to Nyissa for her to enchant it, while Ayana assisted Nyissa in enchanting them so that she could learn from her as well.
Taya\'s weapons were a pair of moon sabers that were sword-type weapons but had augmented blades towards the tip of the sword. It was obvious that with this pair of sabers, one could deal serious damage with good range, though one needs to master it to get good control over their movements when using it.
Eva was not using any traditional weapons but gave Nyissa a pair of desert eagles and a long sniper that weighed over a dozen kilos, at least without including the tripod and other accessories.
If any gun enthusiast were here, they would easily recognize this monster as the Barrett .50 BMG, which was a shoulder-fired semi-automatic rifle. Just one bullet from this was enough to destroy an ordinary human beyond recognition from over kilometers of distance. So one can only imagine how much even more powerful they would get after Nyissa enchants it.
Even if Eva won\'t be fighting up close, everyone in this room knew that her skills would come in real handy since she could clear out the path ahead for the others. She also was a good scout and was the best in gathering intelligence before proceeding further.
After giving her weapons to Nyissa, Taya was standing before an old cupboard which she opened and took out a wooden suitcase.
With a nostalgic look, she opened it and saw a white-grayish suit with a hood and softly smiled as certain memories flashed in her mind. Viktor was the one who helped her design this suit, and he gifted her this suit on her sixteenth birthday, surprising her and making that day one of the happiest of her life. From then on, he had taken her to hunt down bad guys under his watch like some vigilante and sometimes even had to run away from the police as well. They even gave her the nickname \'Knightmaiden.\'
She remembered how he only accepted to take her out after begging him a lot since she wanted to use her skills to do something good and also because she wanted to have some fun.
Remembering about it now, it seemed a bit childish, but still, it was fun at times, and she also got exposed to another side of the world she would have never come upon had she continued to live like any other young miss of a wealthy family.
For a moment, she wished that she could relive those days, having fun with Viktor teaching her the ropes and also enjoying the thrill while enjoying some sweet moments with him under the cool night sky with the moon hovering above them.
Even after Viktor left, she had used this suit for certain missions of hers, though for the past few years, she never had to wear this and didn\'t expect that she would be wearing this now.
"Big Sis…are you again thinking about your past with him?" Eva suddenly came up behind her as she asked in a low voice.
