The Author's POV

Chapter 247

Under the faint moonlight, Kevin sat down on a bench inside of the Leviathan building.

'”You've got anything?

A voice entered his ears. It belonged to Ren.

"...yes. I do."

Kevin replied after a short pause.

"I've found out who the targets are, but there is a slight problem..."

'”What is it?

"They're both A rank and are not villains. Frontal confrontation is a no-go."

A short pause ensued before Ren replied.

'”...That's troublesome, have you got their names and info?

"Yes..." Kevin massaged his forehead. "Unfortunately, they are both individuals who have worked in the Lock for more than five years and are considered trusted individuals by the academy."

After discovering the identity of the two individuals who were working under the Monolith, Kevin spent a lot of time trying to figure out their background.

They were clean. So clean that he was left helpless.

'”Then this is really problematic.

Ren replied as his voice deepened.

"I know, but don't worry. Although we can't expose them now, I've found something else."

'”What is it?

"I found out the location of the portals they are planning on setting up"

After spying on the two individuals who were working under the Monolith for the past couple of days, Kevin was able to find a general pattern in their movement.

From there, he was able to come up with an estimate of where they would set up the portals.

'”...Oh?

Ren's voice jumped up a little. He seemed quite hopeful.

Unfortunately, shaking his head, Kevin poured cold water over him.

"Regrettably, we'll only be able to access them once the game starts."

'”Why's that?

"Because they're inside of the dome."

'”...ah.

Ren let out a strange sound. Kevin smiled as a result.

"I know..."

Given how secure the place was, it was almost impossible for him and Ren to infiltrate the place.

Furthermore, because there was nothing concrete yet, Kevin could not go to the professors and tell them about it. He'd just look crazy.

The portals were not set up yet, thus no evidence about what the Monolith was planning, and the personnel used were people with clean backgrounds.

The Monolith had planned this well.

They did not use villains but individuals who had been working with the Lock for a very long time and were trusted.

Unless he presented evidence, he'd look crazy.

'”So what now?

Ren asked in a troubled voice.

"That's it for now." Kevin shook his head. "I'll keep you updated if anything happens. In all likelihood, we're going to have to try to stop the portals from opening during the battle royale"

Kevin stood up.

"I believe that they are also not the only accomplices as in all likelihood, some of the students participating in the battle royale will be participating in their plans..."

Although he knew the approximate location of where the portal was going to be, he couldn't do anything else.

The only thing he could do now was, wait for the battle royale to start.
