Two Revenges of Lightning

11. Investigating the Assassins' Joint Mission

A party at a very grand place, the most expensive place in the city. All the businessmen with high wealth gathered there. Even certain officials were invited to the event.
"You can look around somewhere else, Bagas."
"Yes, Grandfather. I'll go later."
Mahmud met the businessmen. Mahmud was a businessman engaged in property and other services. Many people respected his grandfather. They even praised Bagas, but there were also those who looked less favourably on him. This was because they knew that Bagas was the son of a servant whom his master had married. Bagas didn't care about that.
The atmosphere was very crowded; some important people from the country had been invited to sit.
Bagas asked Khalid to protect his grandfather; he was going to get some fresh air.
[Aura of assassins, Assassins gathered somewhere]
The system even told Bagas that he had to sneak. Among thousands of people, Bagas saw the ability the system endowed him with.
[Assassin's Eye activated]
The aura of the assassins was different; that ability came about because Bagas had experience in the world of assassination. He was able to sense very strong energy with the addition of the system. Bagas continued to search while listening to the earphones.
Over there!
Da saw four or five people moving; they were wearing suits like businessmen. However, they could not mask the aura of a killer. Bagas followed from afar while continuing to look relaxed. Those are the killers from the other murder house. So, what is a joint mission?
Bagas passed by two beautiful women, and the killers' eyes were suspicious. They seemed to sense that he was being followed.
"Hi, beauties. Are you alone?" Bagas' voice teased the two women next to him. They were both wearing expensive dresses. Bagas had to distract the assassins; he was almost spotted.
[Assassin's Sense activated]

"What are you doing? Why did you stop?" asked one of the men in a dark blue suit. He was surprised that his partner had stopped and was looking at the crowd.
"I feel something; we're being stalked," Roger said. His eyes scanned the crowd; he saw a young man flirting with two women. His killer sense told him that from that direction, someone had seen him. There were too many people there, and the young man was also flirting with women.
Am I drunk?
"You're hallucinating, Roger. Let's hurry; we have to meet with the six murder houses. This big mission is the one that will make us victorious and rule the whole country," the man said quite broadly. He is Nuras. A soldier from the house of assassins, Lucifer
They left, sneaking among the people. Bagas listened intently to the conversation. Even though he was far away, his inner system was able to choose which voice he should listen to.
Bagas had to hurry away.
"Hey handsome, weren't you teasing us earlier? Why are you leaving now?" asked the young woman who was holding a glass, and she smiled seductively at Bagas.
"Ah! I forgot; I was with my boss here."
Bagas made an excuse, left, and was fast enough to follow where the assassins had gathered. They were camouflaged among the businessmen. In this crowded place, surely they would be talking about something important so that they would not be suspected.
Brak!
[Sense Assassin loses focus; you are rushing and not concentrating.]
Bagas collided with a woman. Bagas almost fell, but the woman he collided with used her hands well. She pushed off her body and stood up gracefully again.
Bagas saw that that woman must have martial arts skills or at least practise martial arts. She was able to maintain her balance.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," Bagas said apologetically. He tried to help the woman he had hit. Bagas knew she was quite skilled, but he felt guilty for bumping into her and holding her elbow.

"I'm fine; next time, be careful, young man." The woman's voice was very soft but sharp.
[Mark is given; you can mark humans related to your life mission.]
[Mark or mark, it will be able to activate Magic Exchange by taking someone's soul within a limited time.]
Magic Exchange within a limited time, taking someone's soul? This is strange!
Hey, young man, did you not hear me?" the young woman's voice again. She looked astonished at Bagas, and that's because Bagas seemed to be looking at her blankly.
"I'm sorry ... I'm sorry, Miss. I just lost focus. My name is Bagas. What's your name?" asked Bagas to change the subject.
"Come on, Alice. We've been waiting, and why are you talking to a newbie like him?" said the female voice that came behind Alice.
Bagas understood, so her name was Alice. Then, why could he mark that woman and activate the system?
"Ah, alright. Hi, nice to meet you, Bagas. If we're soul mates, we'll definitely meet again."

The woman left, along with the three people who came to her. They looked very professional. However, Bagas' eyes couldn't escape one of the women, who had a tattoo on the back of her neck. They were assassins! 
A crescent moon symbol, with one of the pointed ends of the moon being a rifle. Those were the killers at the Night Ghost's murder house. So that's why Bagas was able to place the mark and get him closer to his mission. 
This was getting interesting. They would certainly gather soon to talk about the joint mission. Heaven was really helping him get his revenge. Bagas was sneaking around. He could place marks, but only if they were in line with his revenge mission. 
Bagas saw with his eyes that the female assassins disappeared behind the crowd. Night Ghost did contain many female assassins; in fact, they only recruited women to become assassins. 
[Mark can be activated, but you need high focus and to avoid crowds.]

Take a quiet place. Bagas looked to the very back, in the restroom. He hurried over and closed the door.
Target Mark is ready; you can take over his soul for a limited time. The limited time is according to your ability to control the marked soul.
Bagas had already entered the restroom; he sat there.
[Magic Exchange activated, Mark activated]
Wooosshh!
Bagas opened his eyes, and he saw everyone gathered around a table. Everyone was waiting; it seemed like someone hadn't arrived yet.
Bagas looked to the right and left; four women were around him. He was sitting down, and Bagas actually took the soul of the woman who had just marked the mark. She was Alicia, so Bagas was now entering Alice's body.
Bagas tried to stay calm; he couldn't be suspicious. And he was a great assassin; he was used to anything.
A woman wearing a tablet entered the room; everyone saw her.
"Thank you for waiting; our master has arrived."
The woman said that, and someone came in with two burly bodyguards. Bagas' eyes went through Alice's body in disbelief at who was coming.
No way!
That man was an influential person in this country. So, what was the joint mission?
