?Finally, on Tsubasa and Mark's side, things were relatively less chaotic and interesting. They did not go threaten some gang members nor did they deal with special driver.
They didn't really need to. After all, Adam's actions and words were relayed to her in real-time while she shared the information with Mark.
Listening to her, Mark did not know whether he should be impressed by Tsubasa's information-gathering skill or feel fear.
'I definitely need to ask the guys back home to eliminate all spiders and any bugs they find.'
"Do not worry. I feel no interest in spying the association. For the last few years, outside of missions, the only one I observed was Adam. I am quite the ethical person you know."
"Ethical?"
The words slipped from his mouth before he could even stop them. After all, hearing about the word 'ethical' while she so proudly explained how she was spying and stalking her ex-boyfriend H24 was truly something only someone extremely shameless would say in such a prideful way.
"Well. I can see how from some outside perspective my actions may be perceived as…Well let's say slightly crazy. But I only have eyes for Adam. No one and nothing else."
She shrugged as they finally walked in the suit that was reserved with the money of the association.
It was a very large suite with 3 bedrooms and a living room. Truly a Kingly suit with all there was to offer.
"So, what do we do now?"
Mark mused. He had learned many interesting new fact the very moment they landed and they had to slightly change their plans.
"The initial mission was stealing and fleeing but if the auction happens in an alternate dimension, things will be more complicated."
The technology Moriarty used was stolen from the association and If this was anything even remotely close to what they used in America then it would be very tricky to deal with.
For one, the opening and closing would be done at the thought of the one with the master key and obviously in this case it would be Moriarty or someone Moriarty had full confidence in.
"Tsubasa, can you teleport through dimension?"
She nodded but added, "Yes and no. Yes, I can certainly enter and leave that place at will once I place my spiders and no, I cannot move from dimension. You guys use the word dimension but it's incorrect. It's more akin to an alternate space. By folding the space of this dimension, you were able to create a pocket dimension. But it's different from let's say, Dreamscape, Cyber dimension, Shadow realm or Astral Realm, and so on. Those places are true alternate dimensions that work on completely different laws."
Mark nodded, "Very well. I believe in this mission, you will be the one who will be able to escape with the target once we recuperate it. Everyone else will have to work on something. I do not think Miss Luvia will be able to make a gate in that space."
"She will not. Not to underestimate her but creating a gate within the same space is hard enough. If she tried to do so in that place, the coordinate would vary too much. Even so, I believe she is a good gate for escape. Adam and I have our own way to escape. Not even Moriarty will dare touch the Saintess. So during the mission, both Makoto and Luvia can stay with you to protect you then you guys can flee at any moment from France itself."
Mark smiled bitterly. He knew this was Tsubasa's polite way of saying that he was useless in this place and should vanish as soon as possible and if he was to be honest he was with her on this.
In the first place, he did not even want to come. He believed in Adam's skill and knew that he wouldn't have a problem. But it was always good to come with a hunter for their first mission.
He would have to contact the on-site team to see how they would deal with everything.
Finally, "Miss Tsubasa, I would like to ask you a favor."
"Oh? Do you need my stalking skills?"
"Well…You are quite perceptive."
"If you needed something else, You would have simply asked Adam. I am sure you two are quite close and he would be more than happy to help you. Well, having someone from the association owing me a favor is definitely something I am happy to see. So, tell me, what do you want?"
Mark hesitated. What he was doing was truly not ethical and Mark had always prided himself in following the ethical road even if it was not to his advantage. This was why he had stalled so much in the association, unable to go higher despite what his rank should have been.
He had avoided politics and backstage deals like the plague.
But this time…It wasn't about him.
It wasn't about his pride.
It was about doing something for someone he loved more than anyone else. Once his mind reached this point. Mark steeled his mind. There was no reason to hesitate. Not now. Not for this.
"Can you help me find my sister?"
"Sister? You are quite bold, sharing your family details with me."
The Hunter world was not a kind one and people always did their best to hide as much weakness as possible.
Sharing family details was extremely deadly in many cases as situations where family members were kidnapped or simply killed in vengeance were extremely common.
"I believe in your integrity."
"I know you are lying. You must have some insurance placed. But no matter. Your sister, huh. I need pictures and a name. Does she share the same energy signature? and in which country is she?"
"At this moment? She should be in England with someone I know but…It's exactly because I know that person, I think that there are high chances for that person to be currently in France."
"Why is that?"
Mark could only give a bitter smile, "She is a daredevil and an addict who seeks thrill and adventures There is no way she would not come."
She was Charlotte Holmes after all.
