My Space-Time System

498 Too easy (part 2)

Using mana vision, Blake found the weak points of the arrays of the wall, and in a matter of seconds, he disabled them.

With the cloaking effect of Nightveil still active, Blake scaled the wall with ease and began scanning for traps in the compound.

‘This would be easier than I thought.’ Blake said after the system completed the scan of the compound and reported to him.

Compared to the arrays he had in his house that of the boss was plain.

Every inch of Blake’s house and compound had atmospheric and vibration detection arrays that could sense when someone walked or flew into the area, but that of the boss was just traps at certain spots in the compound.

[He is at the champion level so definitely, he isn’t capable of inscribing arrays in the compound. Also, I don’t feel he could afford to hire an array master something at the same level as yours.] The system said.

Magical items of all types were costly, but hiring an array master was on another level of costly even though they required no material to get the job done.

What made the service very expensive was that the knowledge of an array master could only be gotten from the magic school, but even at that; attending the magical school for 5 years didn’t guarantee one would be a good array master.

So instead of gambling on the safety of themselves and their families, they would grit their teeth and pay up the exorbitant amounts the array masters charged.

.....

‘My paranoia is telling me that this is too easy to not be a trap.’ Blake thought as he strolled past the guards that were all in the champion realm.

[Firstly, the guards are few because some of them are most likely to be with the boss. Secondly, you don’t expect a club owner to be able to afford an army.] The system said.

When Blake got to a safe area, he began climbing the wall of the building and when he reached the final floor, he began moving around to locate the master bedroom.

‘What is the point of going through the front door when I can do directly into the room.’ Blake thought as he climbed into the Master bedroom.

Using the windows, he first took a look before scanning the inside for anyone before warping into the room.

‘How many people are present and what is their position?’ Blake asked the system.

Although he didn’t plan on triggering any alarm, Blake wanted to have a backup plan just in case this was really a trap.

[Scan complete: there are a total of 20 guards on all 3 floors of the building, 10 alone are scattered all around this floor, while the 5 are on the other floors.] The system reported.

“Couple with the 10 outside, I should be able to deal with all of them without exposing my identity.” Blake said to himself.

Once he was sure that he was safe even if this was a trap, Blake returned to the main aim of the mission.

He began scanning the room for important documents that could give him a lead in his investigation, but there was not even a single piece of paper or ink in the room.

“This should mean that he does his reading in the library, but I doubt he would put something important in a place where anyone can just walk into.” Blake thought as he began looking at the walls.

If there was one thing, he knew about rich criminals it was that they always had a secret safe or room for storing important documents.

Blake activated mana vision, but all he could see was the blue color of mana flowing in the entirety of the walls.

The thing with having a safe was that the arrays needed to be powered by a power source. So all one had to do was search for an area where mana was flowing into, but in this case, there was no way to find out, especially with mana vision.

‘The array master is clever, but not clever enough.’ Blake smiled as he activated the second stage of mana vision.

The first stage of mana vision allowed the user to see mana in its raw fluid form in arrays, but the second stage of mana vision allowed the user to zoom into the mana flow of all the arrays and see its nodes.

This was the mana vision the system had shown him back at Azkelwart’s base and it wasn’t taught by the magic school.

The area in front of Blake had changed from a blue sea to hundreds of blue lights which were the nodes of the arrays on the wall.

“What do we have here...”

By being able to see the nodes, Blake quickly identified the ones that consumed the most energy and the direction they flowed.

Blake started from the most power-consuming array, which was the strengthening array that made the walls more robust, before moving over to another one.

Luckily for him, on tracing the 2nd highest power-consuming array, Blake found out that the nodes led to the empty wall opposite the king-size bed.

“Got you!” Blake said as he confirmed that that was the location of the safe, but then he noticed a series of nodes that led to another area not too far from the safe.

On looking at the linked array Blake found out that it was a switch that required the biometrics of the boss to open the safe.

‘Not bad. If I was in a hurry and went straight for the safe, an alarm would have alerted everyone in the mansion.’ Blake thought.

Blake checked around to make sure there wasn’t another layer of the trap before bypassing the biometrics and causing the secret compartment to open.

‘Wow!’ Blake was shocked to see that behind the wall was a mechanical safe.

[His paranoia reminds me of someone. I wonder who that is?] The system said in a sarcastic tone, but Blake ignored it.

After confirming that the safe wasn’t connected to any alarm system, Blake placed his fingernail on the safe and began heating specific parts of the area behind the dial, while absorbing the natural heat of the safe.

With that completed, the system activated heat vision, and the inner working of the safe became clear to him.

Using telekinesis, Blake pressed all the drive pins, causing the fence to open, and thus the safe.

“Easy peasy...” Blake said as he once again used telekinesis to take the documents out of the safe.

He didn’t want to leave any time of evidence that would make the boss notice that someone had breached the safe.

‘I didn’t know, that criminals kept receipts for their drug purchases.’ Blake chuckled as he read the documents

Among the documents was one that was the receipt for a request for the purchase of a large quantity of drugs and contraband.

The request had been made long before information on Blake’s mission had been passed to the Ash corps of Duststar city.

This was the reason why the boss had been tense about Blake’s arrival at the club. He had thought that Blake had already found something against him.

‘The trade would go on in 3 days. Maybe I might not spend much time in Duststar after all.’ Blake thought as his mission in Duststar was to find the main drug channel of the Duststar city and destroy it.

Even if this wasn’t the main drug supplier, he would still be able to find out important info like how they smuggled the contraband into the city and their top customers.

Blake brought took out his communication amulet from his pocket dimension and took pictures of the documents before using the system’s memory to place them exactly how they were.

After that, he closed the safe and reactivated the biometrics scanner, before sneaking out of the room and returning to his hotel without being noticed.

“I have to wait 3 days for the next action.” Blake said as he sat on a chair. “That means I have to put on a show for my stalkers.”
