My Space-Time System

491 Journey to Duststar.

“Come in.” Blake said as Ashely walked into the office, with 2 folders in her hands.

Ashely was a beautiful dark-skinned woman in her early twenties, Standing tall and proud at a height of 5’10 feet.

She had almond-shaped eyes and full lips, with jet-black hair that cascaded down her back.

“Colonel Darius is summoning you to his office.” Ashely said to Blake.

“Why didn’t he just contact me directly? ” Blake asked.

“I was to drop these files a few offices away, so he said I should call you on my way. Don’t know why he did so.” Ashely shrugged.

“Alright, I’ll be on my way then.” Blake said as he closed the file on his table and stood up.

‘I wonder why he is calling me.’ Blake thought as he knocked on the Colonel’s door before walking into the office.

“You sent for me Sir!” Blake saluted.

.....

“Yes, please take a seat.” Darius gestured for him to a seat.

“We recently discovered that the drugs smuggled in by the Cobra mob came from the north. Also, we have received info about the increased use of drugs in the city of Duststar which is also north of the city.” Darius said.

‘That’s great news, but why the hell is he telling me?’ Blake thought as Darius continued.

“His Highness Prince Bryon wants you to investigate the possibility of a drug cartel in the city of Duststar, and wants you to eliminate them if possible.” Darius explained.

If the drug issues weren’t handled from the root, it was only a matter of time till another drug depot came to Calton.

“Alone?!” Blake asked with a dumbfounded look.

“Yes.” Darius said with his signature smile on his face, but instead of giving Blake assurance, it made him look like a madman.

“It should be an easy mission for you especially since Duststar is less than half the size of Calton and less developed.” Darius was forced to explain causing Blake to calm down a little bit.

“Is there anything I need to know?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes. Prince Bryon suspects that the nobles as well as the ash corps of Duststar city are also part of the drug deals. So trust no one.” Darius said as he handed the royal seal to Blake.

‘That even makes things worse! It is basically me against the entire city. Easy my ass!’ Blake screamed in his head but maintained in stoic expression.

“For this mission, you only answer to Prince Bryon himself, so you owe no one an explanation. As for the royal seal, it will grant you access to anywhere you want in the city.” Darius explained.

“Any other question?” Colonel Darius asked.

“When do I start?” Blake asked.

“When will you be ready?” Darius asked.

“Tomorrow.” Blake replied.

“Then it is setteled.”

With that Blake left the colonel’s office and returned to his office to think about the mission.

[You seem happy for someone complaining not too long ago.] The system said.

‘At that moment I was only thinking about the mission and not the benefits.’ Blake said with a smile glued to his face.

[And that is?] The system asked.

‘I would have a high chance of testing most of my theories, If not all. Also, not only will I make new discoveries but if I am able to complete the mission I will most likely get promoted.’ Blake said.

Although he had been part of the Ash corps for a little over 6 months, Blake had accomplishments greater than that of all those in the same rank.

His team’s gang raids had the highest success rate, he was the main reason behind the fall of the Cobra mob. Also, he played an important role in the expansion of the city walls by helping the Majors take down the evolving black tortoise.

So if he was able to do the same thing all alone in a different city, his promotion could not be opposed by anyone.

‘Even if I am not able to do it on my own, I can still call Brian and Castiel for help. Worst comes to worst I ask Luciano for a favor.’ Blake said to the system.

Blake soon called Camilla on her communication amulet and informed her about his meeting with colonel Darius before they met up in his office when they were both free.

“How long do you think the mission would last?” Camilla couldn’t help but ask.

Blake was the closest person she knew in the Ash corps so she was definitely going to miss him.

“I can’t know until I get there and see how serious things are.” Blake said.

“I’ll miss you.” Camilla said as she walked up to him and hugged him. She knew asking Blake to not go would be selfish of her, so the best she could do was wish him well.

“Same here.” Blake said as he kissed her.

…

The next day.

Blake was done making his preparations and was now in Colonel Darius’ office.

“Alright, time for you to get going.” Darius said after handing him a detailed map of Darius, gold coins, and everything he could possibly need.

With a snap of his finger, Blake and Darius appeared on the lower floors of the square where a carriage and a driver were waiting for him.

‘And I was here thinking I would be warped straight to Duststar.’ Blake was disappointed when he saw that they didn’t deem him as important.

Warping to different cities was only meant for very important people and occasions. This was to prevent the security risks that came with such technology.

[This would be your first time traveling to another city without warping. So I think you should enjoy it.] The system said.

“This is Jerry your driver for the next 3 days.” Darius introduced the carriage driver who was a Champion.

“3 days? According to the map it is meant to be a 5-day journey.” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

“That is if you were to use normal horses.” Colonel Darius explained causing Blake to notice that it was 2 magical beasts in front instead of horses.
