City D Airport.
The figure of Adam wearing a red mask descended from the plane along with five other figures. They all wore the same black suit. They are James, Jasmine, Carole, Douglas, and Glenn.
Unlike Adam, the others did not wear masks at all. They still wear masks and sunglasses. Out of the VIP class, they became the focus of most other passengers.
After disembarking, they were immediately picked up with a black sedan then left from there.
"City D, yes ..."
Adam mumbled slowly.
Two cars picked them up. One car carried 3 of them. Adam sat in the co-pilot's seat, while Jasmine and Carole sat in the back seat. James, Douglas, and Glenn were in the other car.
"Do you have any acquaintances here, Mr Owl?"
The driver who heard Adam mutter asked with a friendly smile on his face. She is a woman in her early 30s with a trained body. Compared to the driver, the woman was even similar to the army.
Looking towards the woman, Adam replied in a monotone tone.
"Indeed. But I don't know how it is now."
When he said that, Adam remembered Nicholas. His best friend should have gone back to City B. But strangely enough, it turns out that the young man actually lives there and does not want to go home.
I hope he's okay.
Adam took a long breath. Actually he felt a bit guilty for making his best friend was to be sent to City D by force. But the young man also believed it was very important for Nicholas.
"Do you want us to look for him? We can help deal with those kinds of things."
The woman once again said with a gentle expression on her face. But in response, Adam just kept quiet without saying a word.
"..."
Looking at the silent Adam, the woman knew she was wrong.
"Sorry, we do not intend to interfere in your personal affairs. We also do not intend to use this method to find out your background or anything like that.
We—"
"Enough." Adam shook his head lightly. "Just tell me what the City D branch's Mystery Department looks like. What about their members and their strengths? Are they okay in dealing with this busy and crowded City D problem?"
Hearing Adam's question, the woman nodded lightly. I cannot help but praise Adam in my heart.
As expected of the Blood Owl who solved various problems in City B alone. Totally reliable.
After thinking about a few things, the woman said in a relaxed tone.
"Compared to the quieter City B, of course City D had more Mystery Department members. Not because our side is stronger, but in fact ... City D itself is an industrial city."
Hearing that, Adam nodded.
"Many come to work in City D from different regions. Of course because the numbers were many and the people were mixed from different regions, the chances of people having special abilities appearing were higher than other cities.
While Cultivator ..."
Not finished saying the last sentence, the woman continued Adam's words.
"Yes. There were absolutely no Cultivators in City D. I don't know the exact cause. Maybe it's because of pollution, because of population density, or other things.
To be sure, City D itself is a city that is affected by various cultures and many unexpected things here."
"..."
Hearing that, Adam's eyes narrowed. Although it seemed to be given a lot of important information, according to the young man himself.
"So, how many members are in total from the City D branch's Mystery Department? Who are the core members of this D City branch?"
Knowing that Adam's attention was completely nontransferable, the woman could only smile wryly while answering truthfully.
"Mystery Department of City D branch has 12 active members, and some inactive members (schools, lectures, and so on).
Of the 12 members, they are divided into three teams. Each team takes care of its own problems, and some don't.
Of course, from teams 1 to 3, team 1 is the most powerful. They have better potential than the other two teams."
Twelve people ... not including the inactive ones.
Adam's eyes narrowed. He had not expected that there would be such a large number of special ability users in City D. Most likely, their number was around 20 people. Three times the number of members in City B.
"I don't know, which City's Mystery Department was invited to this meeting."
Adam said calmly, not sooner or later. The woman in the driver's seat also answered.
"Six Cities, from City B to City G."
"What about City A?"
"Haha! You're really joking, Mr. Owl. The people on top of that .. would definitely not want to be told to go to this kind of meeting."
"..."
Hearing the sarcasm from the woman's mouth, Adam shook his head lightly. What the woman said was true, so she did not comment either.
"Do you also have information about the guests from other cities?"
"of course. But we've reached the location, Mr. Owl. It seems we can't continue this exciting conversation.
One thing is certain. Besides City D, roughly everyone else has the same number of members as you."
"..."
Hearing that, Jasmine and Carole who were sitting in the back seat looked relieved. They were initially afraid that the branch of City B was at its worst and unreliable. But they are quite relieved because it turns out that their performance (City B Branch) is also fairly normal, even quite good among other cities.
Two black sedan cars stopped at a tall building that looked amazing.
Getting down from the car, the others looked towards the skyscraper with complicated expressions.
Compared to their usual-looking headquarters, it was even quite gloomy as it was located near the tomb. The headquarters of the City D branch's Mystery Department was actually in the center of the city.
"Our headquarters is on the top floor of this building. Let's go in."
The voice of the woman who was Adam's driver was heard.
It is one of the tallest buildings in the city of D. With a height of 252 meters and 50 floors, this place is arguably one of the most desirable locations in City D.
However, instead of focusing on the building, Adam focused instead on the woman's speech.
"Our headquarters?" ask Adam.
The woman who was the driver stopped walking. Looking towards Adam, the woman smiled brilliantly.
"really. Since the task brought you back, I forgot to introduce myself.
Introduce, my name is Amy .. team member 1 of the City D branch's Mystery Department."
