Chapter 51: Nighteye meets Nemesis

HELLO FANTASTICAL READERS! I PAY TRIBUTE FOR THIS HALLOWEEN!

MAY THE REST OF YOUR YEAR BE FILLED WITH MANY TREATS AND LITTLE TRICKS.

This story has made amazing progress and I want to thank you all for being a part of it. I hope this and my other stories bring you lots of joy as we exit the month of October!

Nemesis was moving through the underworld, hoping to smoke out the members of Shie Hassaikai, but since the incident at the arena, no one had come after Nemesis. But because of that one event, Sakura had enough information to start preparing for her next move. Hoping to draw out their leader, Kai Chisaki, and confront him directly. But thus far, he remained elusive, like a ghost hiding in the shadows.

From the rooftop of a nearby building, Sakura peered through her mask, her keen eyes scanning the streets below. The bustling crowd moved like a river, flowing seamlessly through the city's veins. Among them, she spotted a more traditional Japanese house, surrounded by high walls and a heavy gate. It was evident that this was more than just some dwelling; these were the base of operations for Shie Hassaikai. She knew this from what she had tortured out of his subordinate, and from where she stood, Sakura could see the coming and going of a few men.

She wanted to storm the base immediately yet, Sakura knew she couldn't afford to make any mistakes. The safety of Eri depended on her ability to dismantle Shie Hassaikai and erase the threat of Kai Chisaki once and for all. Her mind raced through different scenarios, considering ambush or lure and trap, but she couldn't make a move without confirming Kai's location. He had to either be inside that house or out where she could get him.

For now, she kept watch, observing every movement around the house. Men in suits roamed the premises, their vigilance a testament to the danger that lurked within.

But as she continued her surveillance, she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. Kai had yet to make an appearance, and the wait tested her patience. He seemed to move like a shadow, elusive and unpredictable. Those damn underground tunnels. Sakura considered the possibility of underground tunnels being used to navigate the city unnoticed, leaving her with limited options for a direct confrontation.

"I can't risk spooking him," she thought, her mind working through the intricacies of the situation.

In her heart, Sakura knew that the stakes were high. If Kai were to vanish, the threat to Eri's freedom would persist. And so, she took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. She needed a plan, a way to draw him out without sending him further into the shadows.

As she pondered her next move, Sakura noticed a car leaving the house's premises. It was an opportunity she couldn't pass up. There was no guarantee that Kai would be in those tinted windows but she was willing to take the chance. Determination surged within her, and she made her decision. She would follow the car discreetly.

With careful steps, Sakura moved from rooftop to rooftop, keeping her distance from the vehicle. She couldn't risk being seen; her presence had to remain hidden until the moment was right. The car weaved through the labyrinthine streets of the city, taking her on a twisting path that seemed to lead to an unknown destination. Sakura's form moved like a shadow, tailing the car through the dimly lit streets of the city's outskirts. She knew that Kai might not be in the vehicle, but she hoped to find some clues about the Hassaikai's operations. As a clone, she had to be cautious; one hard hit could make her vanish, unlike a real body that could endure a few injuries. But vigilance was her strength, and she remained determined.
