Chapter 150: Spying
The days passed.
Elliot had been investigating the city, the Misfits, and some things about the House of Fire from other informants and sources.
These days, he spends a lot on mobilization and buying information, but he has not been discovered.
He also met with some Misfits, with Erick’s help. They were leaders of large squads and accepted some missions commissioned by Elliot. One night, they even revealed that they were planning a rebellion if things with the courts went well.
Jenna was also doing her job, finding out what she could from the Academy and other sectors where she had certain contacts.
But the ones who had gathered the best information were Jenna’s parents.
"Although we’ve had a hard time following up on information, because it seems that a lot of things about the House of Fire have recently been blocked by a major political power, we were still able to get some things." Jake said and pulled out the documents.
There was information of all kinds, some useful, some not so useful.
They discovered that the Tournament was actually a facade, created to hide what might be going on behind the scenes. It is believed that the House of Fire and an unknown clandestine organization might have been planning a big deal at that time, so they needed a facade to avoid prying eyes.
Perhaps they were looking to sell a large quantity of drugs, whose provenance and current location were unknown, but they were believed to be in the Warehouses by the Sea.
That’s why they were setting up a Clandestine Tournament, to avoid attention. But it’s hard to keep anything from the government like that.
So Jake was able to get a lot of good things this time.
