Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 69 - 69 - The secret meeting at the outskirts

In a huge villa in the outskirts of Hoffen City, several representatives of powerful families from within Athanoviya and that of neighboring territories are staying in secret. They have been in this place for about a week now. They each have sent at least one of their trusted shadows, soldiers and spies to check on the 27 newly summoned women from another world in the Academe of Gnosis. Though this has been a yearly event, it is still of highest importance since the quality of summoned women isn't really the same each time. They have to gather their resources to re

As the spy arrived at the villa, he immediately submitted a stack of papers to his employers. He noticed that his stack of papers were not as thick as those submitted by the other spies. He can only sigh about this since his target only appeared just last night. He was confident though that he was able to get quality information since his target is quite interesting to watch. Just like what he expected, when the reports are checked, he was questioned as to why his report was the shortest so he provided the details for his target. As he mentioned that she was away for about a week and only appeared about a night ago, some employers showed a hint of interest to his target as if her absence was a good thing. The employers checked on the other details of his report and they kept nodding and murmuring about something that he can't hear that well.

The meeting lasted for about 3 hours since there were a total of 27 targets. The last part of the meeting is about ranking the targets from high priority to the least priority. From this list, the employers will advise their sons or family members that will be sent to the academe to take note and try to approach the said targets first before the others in hopes of building a connection or relationship with them in the long term. As the spy looked at the list, he was surprised to see that the target assigned to him landed within the top 5 which was considered high priority in the list. There were also remarks about her possible background or affiliations. Her name has the most remarks too which means her rank is temporary and can be placed at a higher priority any time if more information is discovered or confirmed. His thoughts couldn't help but wander to, "Did the information I manage to find that important? Was there a detail that I did not notice that made her a high priority?"

As for him, he made sure to take note of the other 26 reports. It is really hard to earn money. He was indeed a spy here but he is also a spy for somewhere else since his permanent employer was "Noir". He has to go back to Sklavryet, a free and open territory where Noir (the infamous assassination and espionage organization) has set up its base in secret. All he knows is he will be paid well if he is able to compile as much information as he can. For some reason though, he always felt that the higher ups of Noir have been looking for one particular person out of the 27 summoned women this year. This is the first time this has happened since he joined the organization 10 years ago and also considering all the spy jobs he got for the people interested in the academe summoning ceremony for the last 4 years. He knows that the organization has a backer from the mystique race which should be the same race who created Sklavryet several centuries ago so this brings a question to his mind which is, "What makes this year's summoned batch different?" For someone like him that is in the mid-ranks, he has access to more information compared to others but he is still not allowed to ask questions about his targets or his main employer's thoughts or goals. He just hopes that this year's job will end soon and will not cause him danger given how the employers seem to be frantically looking for somebody. For now, he has to hurry back so he can enjoy his money and spend some time off from the job.
