Dimensional Descent

1823 Chaos

The days passed by quickly and Lexus eventually got his answer.

"News? What's the report say?"

To the side, Eddy perked up as Destiny unfurled a document. They had all been somewhat anxious. If this had just been about the Rain family, it was no big deal. But it was clear to them that there were some large existences moving in the shadows, existences that they would definitely have to deal with to pave out the path for their future.

Destiny quickly scanned the news and her gaze narrowed.

"According to this there are literally dozens of locations. The team thought that they might be decoys to throw us off the scent. All of the locations seem to be very well hidden. Some are restaurants, some are convenience stations, there are also a few brothels and entertainment centers. It's hard to tell without an even more thorough investigation which of them are real and which aren't."

This was troublesome. They had already wasted three days on this, if they wasted any more time, there would be nothing left to find.

They had done an excellent job of suppressing the information until now, but it could only last for so long.

"No, we can't wait any longer. I'll contact the Patriarch, but get moving on my orders now. Build up enough teams to attack all of them at once. Also make sure that each team has at least a few elite Seventh Dimensional existences, we can't afford to send in a team that is too weak and potentially suffer a loss because of it. We'll go all out."

Destiny and Eddy both nodded, agreeing with the sentiment.

The operation began almost immediately. They had already prepared for this potential outcome, so the teams were already mostly formulated, all they were lacking were the Seventh Dimensional existences, and that approval would come from Rychard himself.
