Chapter 643: Those Who Were Hailed As Untouchables [Part 1]

Only a few minutes were left until the clock struck midnight, and the only light that could be seen in Thirteen's residence was from the lamp posts outside their house.
All the lights inside were off, normally indicating that the people inside the house were
already asleep.
Under the cover of darkness, eight Grandmasters crossed the distance between the forest and the Leventis Residence.
The first place they visited was Gerald's Forge, where he kept most of his forging tools.
The intruders scanned the interior of the forge and closely observed some of Gerald's tools to check their quality.
"All of them are Adamantine-Grade," the Leader of the group muttered. "Still, I don't see anything special here. How about you guys?"
"There's nothing to see here, Sir," one of his subordinates replied. "The Monster Parts that have been stored in the other room belonged to Rank 6 and Rank 7 Monsters. There's nothing special about them."
The Leader nodded as he returned and gave the surroundings another glance.
"Are there any hidden compartments that we might have overlooked?" the Leader asked.
"We did find a hidden compartment but..." the Subordinate hesitated.
"But what?" the Leader asked. "Speak up. We don't have much time."
"There's nothing special hidden on it aside from Graveur Magazines," the Subordinate replied.
The Leader of the group was stunned after hearing his subordinate's reply. Out of curiosity, he asked who the model on the covers was. It might give him a hint on what kind of hobbies Gerald had, which might become useful in their future operations.
"It's Freya Ellen," the subordinate replied.
The Leader nodded. "He has good taste. Perhaps he's afraid that his wife would get jealous, so he hid those things in his secret compartment."
After doing one last sweep of the Smithy, the group decided to sneak inside the house.
However, just as they were about to do that, all the lights of the lamp posts went out, and darkness descended upon the group.
None of the people panicked because they all possessed abilities similar to Dark Vision, allowing them to see even in the darkness.
Suddenly, the Leader brandished his sword behind his back, dispersing a few magic bullets that were aimed behind his blind spot.
The intruders exchanged a glance with each other before they all ran in different directions. They had already made many contingency plans beforehand, so they already knew what to do in the case that they were discovered.
All of them were Grandmasters who specialized in stealth, infiltration, and escaping from critical situations.
As long as they were able to do it without the deed being traced back to them, they didn't have
to worry about retaliation.
At least, that was what other people thought.
However, they had been warned that the Grand Marshal of the Central Government, Lawrence Seaton, had a special ability that allowed him to know the truth of the world.
The Leader of the Infiltration Group was just an ant in the grand scheme of things, and this was a hidden danger that he wouldn't want to test. This left him no choice but to endure Erica's bombardment.
While the Leader was dealing with the Sorceress of the Hero Party, his other members found themselves entangled with several persistent individuals that made their escape quite
difficult.
Mikhail and Shasha dealt with one Agent each.
The same could be said for Derek.
Diana, Rianna, and Mildred were also fighting one-on-one battles with the intruders.
Shana, on the other hand, stood on the rooftop of the Leventis Residence and unfurled her
Silver Banner.
She then expanded her support abilities towards his comrades, giving them powerful buffs that allowed them to fight against opponents above their current Ranks.
The only thing she could do right now was to play her role well and ensure that her friends would not suffer any fatal injuries in battle.
Meanwhile, a few miles away from Thirteen's home, Arthur stood on the roof of his mansion
and observed the battle from afar.
Thirteen had already informed him that something like this might happen, and he was
requested to not interfere in the battle.
Arthur agreed, but that didn't mean that he would just stand by and watch as the other Clans mess with his territory.
Since they dared to play dirty with him, he would definitely return the favor in the future.
'They really look down on the Leventis Family that much, huh?' Arthur curled up his lips in disdain. 'If only I didn't promise that kid to keep a low profile, this world would understand that messing with me is the last thing they wished to do.'
After the battle against the Artemians, Arthur, Lady Callista, Michael, and Hans received a great boost in their strength with the help of his no-good grandson.
Right now, Arthur's sword was properly sheathed in its scabbard.
However, the day he took out the blade from his sheathe, would be the same day where the balance of power in the world would be reshuffled.
