Chapter 69 The smuggled goods are in hand! Finding the mastermind…
"I think we can go by air!"
The clouds fixed in mid-air formed an excellent platform. The mist seemed to spread from afar, obscuring everything in front of you. But when you actually stepped on it, you could peek at the port's every move through the mist, like a projection, suspended in mid-air.
"I bet it was Red Robin who inspired you?"
Dick knew that for a while, Tim enjoyed discussing magic with Enid. Well, he participated too, mostly online, though he did know a little about this particular magic. Enid wore a smug expression; although the mask concealed her beautiful eyes, the upturned corners of her mouth couldn't be hidden.
"Congratulations on getting it right! The reward... let me think... I'll give you a kiss when we get home."
"I like this reward."
The birds hovered over the harbor. Their presence, like unnoticed cameras, transmitted everything to the "screen" in front of Enid. They didn't continue the topic of kissing, but instead focused their attention on the scene. It seemed that those people were being overly anxious, even becoming increasingly cautious—a rat had almost been swatted.
The man who raised the gun was stopped and even verbally abused, but the "innocent bystander" was not so lucky; he was arrested.
Enid looked anxiously at Dick. She knew Dick's personality; he would never abandon this person. Dick patted Enid's hand.
"I'm fine... um, could you send one of the little guys to keep an eye on that person?"
“I’ll send Naya. She’s been studying hard lately, so taking someone with her shouldn’t be a problem.”
Naya leaped from mid-air and moved through the faint shadows, but just as they had guessed, this was a plan against Nightwing. They even raised their guns, ready to kill him, because that was the kind of person Nightwing was. If he was there, he would come out; otherwise, if Nightwing wasn't there, this person would die.
Because Nightwing could never watch someone die right in front of him, could he?
This was something not only they knew, but Enid also understood; it was an open conspiracy against Nightwing.
“That’s so mean…” Enid’s eyes reddened slightly, and she even gripped Dick’s hand tightly. Feeling the faint strength in his hand, Dick didn’t speak, but simply tightened his grip on her hand very gently, his tone becoming increasingly calm.
"Let Naya take him away, then we'll move out."
"good."
The next second, the man vanished into the shadows. Naya wore a black crystal around her neck; she could use this to teleport the man to the place Bruce had prepared to imprison him, and interrogate him properly. From the beginning, this man was not an innocent passerby; he was neither hateful nor innocent, but he shouldn't have lost his life.
"Fuck, Nightwing is indeed nearby. Notify the boss to call back immediately!"
In that instant, the words had just been spoken, and before they could even press the button on their communicators, Enid's magic descended from the sky. They were briefly immobilized for 10 seconds, enough time for Nightwing to tie them up one by one and confiscate all their communication devices. Enid landed in another direction, her reconnaissance magic activated to its maximum.
"9 o'clock on the left, 8 people."
"receive."
Dick headed in that direction without hesitation, capturing the eight people who were hiding, and also taking the opportunity to arrest the real person in charge. After Enid's binding magic was lifted, he made him reveal everything he knew. This was an interrogation plan taught by Batman (beating him up), which was extremely effective.
"Damn it..." The other party exhaled, his chest pressed down by Nightwing's shoe. After a while, he caught his breath and began to feel a little desperate after being beaten up by Nightwing.
The original plan was to set up numerous traps at the scene where the "innocent bystander" was executed, specifically for Nightwing, just waiting for his appearance. However, unexpectedly, this guy brought a magician with him, and the plan completely failed, and there was no time to inform the boss.
The person in charge was devastated, but then seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "I'll tell you everything, just let me not die, or I'll never say anything else!"
He just wanted to live. If it weren't for the fact that his life and death were not in his own hands, who would dare to plot against Nightwing? He wasn't stupid.
I promise you.
Even without that condition, Nightwing wouldn't let him die. Although he knew this, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Nightwing's guarantee was an absolutely valid promise, and looked at Enid.
“It looks like you’ve been under some kind of spell,” Enid said, glancing around to make sure no one else was there. Then, a spell flashed across the man’s body, and pale green light revealed that he wasn’t under any spell, just poison. She tossed a purification potion to Dick. “Just give him this.”
Dick accepted the medicine. It was obvious that he had been poisoned to cause this. The person in charge who drank the purification potion breathed a sigh of relief.
"The code is that your mother is dead. Yeah, my father isn't dead, it's your grandparents and your Assam who died. Once you say that, the item can be handed over to you. If you don't say the code, they'll just destroy it. The boss is also a magician, a very strange magician, but... anyway, not as powerful as her!"
He paused, wanting to say something, then realized that was all he knew. He felt guilty for a moment, then became self-righteous again, since he had already said it anyway.
"Oh right, they'll be here in 5 minutes. The boss only contacts me through my communicator, you know, the red one! The super cool one!"
"Very good, we'll release you once we catch your boss."
After Enid finished speaking, she glanced at Dick, who nodded. Then Enid used the teleportation array to throw the group of people into the place Bruce had prepared, locking them all up. Bruce would decide whether to hand them over to the police or something else. Enid and Dick stood where they had been standing.
Enid had already cast an illusion spell that temporarily altered their appearance; they now resembled the people from before. Although it would only last for about 10 minutes, it was enough. Enid didn't need to worry about MP consumption now, since the oak tree at Wayne Manor was there, she didn't have to worry about that.
The illusion's magical effects were perfect, and the code was accurate. Although it was a bit strange, it was indeed the correct one, and they successfully obtained the smuggled goods.
"It's so strange, why did your manager insist on using this weird code? It's hilarious. Okay, okay, the goods have been delivered. Remember to look for us next time." The delivery guy looked like a newbie, very young-looking, and quite interested in joking.
After investigation, it was found that the ship was indeed not a smuggling ship but a legitimate cargo ship. However, it was responsible for transporting things that wealthy people were not comfortable talking about. It seems that the ship was unaware of the contents of the shipment, which was revealed in his complaints.
Enid first stored these things away in her spatial storage, and then she prepared to deal with the boss.
"Is it right?"
"No problem, this is it."
When Enid accepted the item, she used a silent magic to test it. Silent and invisible magic consumes more energy, so Enid generally prefers to let the magic's light shine out, as it looks cooler.
Just then, Dick's cool red communicator rang. After a two-second silence, Dick mimicked the voice of the person in charge perfectly, and the next second he knew the meeting place. Coincidentally, Jason also sent a message with the exact same location as Dick.
Bruce's message and Jason's message came at the same time, both from this location. Enid relayed the message, glanced at Dick, and gently took his hand. Although he couldn't feel her warmth through the gloves, Dick could see her excessive concern, and that was enough.
"So, this is where we're headed next."
“We’ll go. You stay hidden and support us.” Dick paused. “After all, the enemy is likely a remnant of the Stormborn. Even if they’re not as strong as you, we need to be cautious.”
Enid understood this principle, of course; a slightly warm green light dot was held in her palm.
"Then I will prepare all the defensive magic to ensure you don't lose a single hair!"
