It wasn't half a day later that the report on the outcome of the operation had already been compiled and delivered to Chairman Deacon.

"The Martial Apprentices got annihilated before they could even reach the target?" The man frowned, narrowing his eyes. "Does the Orphanage have Martial Artists in it asides from Rui Quarrier?"

"Our sources say there are two Martial Apprentices from the Orphanage who are currently part of the Hajin Martial Academy. There are no Martial Artists residing in the Quarrier Orphanage at this moment. The bodies of the Martial Apprentices were never found, it appears they were swiftly and covertly taken down. This points to at the very least a highly elite Apprentice-level covert guard detail, possibly a Squire-level detail," The intelligence director indicated. "Someone wants them protected."

"It's him," Chairman Deacon felt an immense surge of vindication.

Now he wanted to abduct the entire family even more.

"Send in half of all our Martial Squires at once, Also, send Martial Squires to the Kandrian Empire to reinforce our base." The man ordered with a furious expression. "There is no way that they can cope with that. Hurry it up, the more time we waste, the greater the probability that we won't catch him."

"Yes sir," the intelligence deputy director nodded. "Rest assured I do believe that even if it is a Squire-level detail, it is highly unlikely to be able to protect the Orphanage from the Martial Squires that we have at our base. I am quite confident in this assessment of mine."

"Good," Chairman Deacon nodded. "Make sure you don't fail."

"Yes sir,"
