1465 The Fallen Spectres Organization's Five Heads.

"I will handle it." Nidam gave a slight nod and took off immediately.

"Hazel, what did you find on the victim's past." Captain Charleson asked.

"Nothing much." Hazel shook her head, "Everyone I asked said the same thing. Arion was in a deep debt and his gambling den was on the verge of being shut down. No one knows if he has cleared off the debt or not, but the gambling den declared bankruptcy and he has disappeared ever since."

"He must have been turned into this after failing to pay his debt." Felix reasoned.

"My thoughts exactly." Captain Charleson ordered, "Hazel, did your investigations find the identity of the lender?"

Hazel shook her head, "No one knew the lender personally besides Arion. I will try to unravel his identity."

"Good, we need every lead we get." Captain Charleson turned to Felix and Ravager. "I want you boys to dig deeper into those hundred cases and try to find any leads as well. Prioritize the newest ones."

"On it."

Captain Charleson clapped his hands and said one last time with a serious tone. "This is a whole different battle than what we are used to, so be careful and avoid making even the slightest mistake."

Everyone understood what he implied and exited the office with grim expressions. The notion of having a superior part of the fallen organization and keeping his eyes on them would send the creeps down anyone's spine.

They were certain that if they made a single mistake, he wouldn't hesitate to seek their early departure from the department.

It was even harder on Felix and Ravager as they were still trainees and amidst active competition.

'We wanted a big case to win the competition, now I doubt we will make it through.' Ravager sighed.

'As long as we follow the rules, we will always be in the right.' Felix replied calmly.

'I hope so...'
