Chapter 412 The Shadow Elf
Jacob frowned, but no matter how he thought about it, Immortika\'s words made sense. Since all he should be worrying about is the cursed blood condensing, the target should be much easier to grab as it was out in the open.
But he was hesitating because this person might be a high-ranking individual, and his disappearance might draw unwanted attention.
\'Well, I\'ve already abducted a B-class mercenary and planning on abducting another one with the same status. So, there is no point in hesitation…\' Jacob thought before replying, "Where is it?"
"Hehehe, now we\'re talking. It\'s a tier-7 epic shadow elf, and she\'s walking…" Immortika revealed and then started to guide Jacob toward the shadow elf.
Jacob flew according to Immortika\'s direction, and just a hundred meters in the southeast direction, he found his target.
It was a tall, cloaked figure walking in the shadows, and there was no one around the vicinity. Jacob couldn\'t help but feel glad after seeing this shadow elf walking alone.
But he didn\'t approach her since it his hex mana was still not fully refilled and followed her from a safe distance. The shadow elves were part of the dark elf race, and they were extremely proficient in assassination, and it was almost impossible to sneak up on them.
Furthermore, their senses should be extremely sharp, so Jacob didn\'t want to give away his position, or he wasn\'t sure if he could chase after her if she sensed danger and active some movement skill.
However, after following her for some time, Immortika suddenly wrote, "Oh, well, you look at that…hehehe…"
Jacob almost stopped when he read this, "What?"
"That shadow elf seemed to be moving toward the two tier-8 epic Pugilist Giants\' direction. They are now just two blocks away, and if she\'s really meeting them, then it means… hahahahaha…"
"I\'ll miss my chance." Jacob\'s expression soured. Because if this elf were really meeting those two, then this mean once she entered their base, it would be nigh impossible for him to get her.
"It\'s very strange. Two such high-level Epics are here, and if this woman is really here for them, then this means something is up. But I guess we won\'t be able to find out if it is true or not…" Jacob gravely stated as his mana was finally refilled.
Although he could sense something was up, but it had nothing to do with him. Even if he ends up ruining someone\'s plan, he can live with that as long as he gets that elf!
Jacob then didn\'t waste more time and used the slumber hex again while there was still no one around, and the moment he did, the cloaked elf suddenly fell down!

In a small villa two blocks away, there were no guards or signboards here. Within the main hall of this villa, two 4-meter tall giants, one male, and the other female, were sitting as they were enjoying liquor.
"Do you think the City Lord will accept our meeting proposal?" The female giant asked with uncertainty with a tingle of redness on her toned oval face.
The muscular male giant with a handsome appearance replied matter-of-factly, "Heh, with the information I sent her way if she didn\'t come, then this means she is not ambition enough."
The female giant nodded, "Well, you are right. Who can resist the venture of hunting the fabled Vile Witch\'s treasures? Once we had the city lord on our side, it would be far easier to recruit some high-level cannon folds without revealing our identities. For once, you have finally done something praiseworthy." The female giant tease.
"Hmph. Who do you think I am? It\'s just our mother who insists on suppressing us, or I can do so much more." The male giant grumbled before his expression went grave, "But don\'t underestimate this Vile Witch Layer. There should be a pretty good reason that our clan never used this map despite possessing it for decades. Besides, after the city lord joins us, we still need to figure out a way to open that detestable door!"
The female giant\'s expression also clouded as she sighed, "True. If not for that damn door, we could\'ve already acquired everything in that place and don\'t need to lower ourselves to seek an alliance with a mere medium size city\'s City Lord. Oh well, as Mother taught us, always use the others around you, even if it\'s a pig."
"You got that right." The male giant snickered, "Speaking of which, do you think we can acquire that Atomic Grenade in the next auction? If our plan still does not work, that is our last resort."
Gloominess suddenly surfaced between the two, as the female giant ground her teeth hatefully as she spat, "If those bastards don\'t interfere, then we could\'ve acquired it in the first auction. But who could\'ve thought that everyone was crazy for that Faceless Ancient technology? Even if we had the funds, I\'m doubtful that damnable Anonymous 1 would back off. It was probably one of the three leaders. If these guys interfere, it would be quite difficult to acquire it even in the next auction."
The male giant pursed his lips as he completely agreed. They had already witnessed the craze brought about by the first Atomic Grenade auction, and now everyone was even more crazy of for acquiring those grenades.
"Sigh… let\'s see what happens when the next auction starts. First, we need to meet with this city lord and then discuss with her what she has in mind. We can even ask her to contribute the funds to buy the atomic grenade and spend a little of our own money." The female giant stated matter-of-factly with a sly grin.
"Heh, how stingy little sis. But I like it. Cheers!" The male giant laughed as he performed a toast gesture.
Both of them were drinking while scheming without even realizing that someone had thrown a wrench in their plans!
