My Space-Time System

Chapter 464: Drug depot.

‘My guess is that they have a boss that they work for. He supplies them with the drugs, they sell it and he gives them a cut.’ Blake said.

The dealer was now useless to him, so instead of following him out of the sewer, Blake began waiting for the boss to leave.

[He is most likely waiting for the other dealers to finish selling their stash. So you might be here for a long while.] The system said.

“Well, it’s not as if I have any better thing to do.” Blake said as he got comfortable and began meditating.

In the space of 3 hours Blake had watched more than 20 dealers walk in and out of the secret entrance, but they were of no use to him. It was 30 minutes after the last dealer had gone out that the light on the map began moving.

‘It definitely is the boss.’ Blake said as he immediately got up from his position and moved away from the entrance.

The reason he had ‘mistakenly’ dropped the gold coin was that it was the highest currency and couldn’t be given to just anyone as change. That was how he was certain that it was the boss that was on the move.

.....

As for why he had moved away, Blake had no clue of the power level of the boss or artifacts that might be in his possession, but he was sure that he had to be the strongest amongst all the dealers. So to make sure nothing goes wrong he had to play it safe.

The light moved out of the entrance and soon out of the sewer. Blake followed behind and on leaving the sewer he saw that it was a woman and not a man.

‘That’s something we don’t see every day.’ Blake said as he saw the boss waiting for a carriage.

Once she boarded a carriage and left, Blake activated the guardian scarab and made it turn into metal wings before flying high up into the sky.

He decided not to use a carriage because it could be easily spotted and he had no idea where they were heading to.

With the wings acting to his thoughts, all Blake needed to do was look at the map and follow the light.

[The buildings and area below are lit by multiple arrays. Seems we are at the right place.] The system reported to Blake after using mana vision.

This was the same situation he came across when they were investigating Slade, the difference was that the arrays covered a larger area.

This not only assured Blake that he was dealing with a higher gang than that of Slade, but it made him thank the heavens that he hadn’t used a carriage because it was already very late and the road was scanty.

‘Seems so, she has begun circling the area.’ Blake said after watching the light on the map.

“Getting close would be difficult let alone following to the main supply hideout.” Blake said as he landed on a building outside the detection range.

The only good thing about the situation was that due to the large coverage range of the arrays they were very expensive to implement and maintain. This led to them being mid-tier arrays and not sophisticated ones.

Once the carriage had finally stopped, and the female boss had dropped she entered an alleyway before entering a manhole.

Flying wasn’t an option because he was pretty sure that there would be some people that would be on the lookout for flying objects.

This left him with scaling the buildings and making his way towards the area, but this came with the problem of the arrays. Although the arrays weren’t top-notch, Blake couldn’t go disabling every array in the area.

The silver lining to the situation was that some of the building tops were not totally covered by arrays, and he didn’t have to hide the space element from anyone.

‘Inform me when anything strange happens.’ Blake instructed the system before cloaking himself.

He dived from the side of the 5-story building he was on to the 3-story quite a distance away. 5 seconds away from crashing on the building top the wings of the scarab opened allowing him to land in the safe spot.

‘6 more to go.’ Blake thought as he looked at the top of the 4-story in front of him before opening a spatial tear above it.

He had used the same process to cover the next 4 buildings, but he began noticing that the closer he went the stronger the arrays.

Seeing nowhere to land on the building, Blake opened another spatial tear at the edge of the building before conjuring a space platform on which he stood.

The next building was twice as large in terms of width, meaning that Blake had to open 2 spatial tears to get across it.

“According to the map, she hasn’t gone far so I can still catch up.” Blake said as he arrived at the building top directly beside the manhole she had entered.

[My advice is not to enter.] The system said causing Blake to frown.

According to his mana vision, the arrays protecting and surrounding the area were as strong as the 2 buildings he just passed, but it still wasn’t something he couldn’t handle. So he had to listen to the system’s reason.

[The arrays here are not a problem but past this point, they are so strong and many that they are blinding both my mana vision and detection skill.] The system explained.

The system’s detection skill worked by picking out the disturbance or imbalance in the calm environment to detect things, but the area was akin to a storm in the sea.

The amount and randomness of mana in the area were preventing it from making sense of whatever was happening, both normal and unusual.
