The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

As Stella was taking care of the ninjas following her, Tasha was walking around the black market while covering herself with a dark green coloured robe. Tasha had visited various black markets before so she was very familiar with it.

She had several objectives in her mind when she planned a trip to the black market of this city. That was the reason she did not cancel her plans and left the handling of ninjas to Stella completely even though she was also quite interested in interrogating them to know about their training process.

But she found her work on the Black Market to also be very important, so she decided to prioritise it over her own curiosity. Today she was planning to do many things here and one of them was to check the quality and quantity of the items that could be found in this city's market.

That was the reason why she was walking around the market. From her observation, she was able to see that the quality of the things found here was nothing to write home about but the quantity of the things found here was quite good.

From this she was able to understand that the people living in this city were using the services of the underworld quite frequently here.

After walking around the market once, Tasha finally decided to enter a shop. It was a shop to buy information from various brokers and spies. This was not the only establishment that was giving this type of service and it was also not the biggest among the information selling places.

But Tasha saw that this shop had the overall strongest lineup and a very good average level. So she decided to check it out.

In the front reception, there was a young man sitting. He had a very ordinary customer service smile on his face. But Taha was able to see through his disguise. It was not a man sitting there but an even younger woman.

Her strength was not very high but from her looks Tasha judged her to be a very intelligent person.

Tasha told her that she wanted to buy various kinds of information. Seeing that this customer had brought a high price deal, she gave Tasha a big smile and took her to a private room to wait. There the manager of this place himself came to attend to her needs.

This man was not only intelligent but also powerful. He had powers equivalent to a platinum rank powerhouse. But still he behaved in a very subservient manner toward Tasha. He was definitely a shrewd old fox.

The information Tasha was seeking was mostly very general and not something very secretive, so it was not very expensive so the manager named Tanshiro was a little bit disappointed. But after getting all the general information, she finally started to ask about some of the expensive ones.

Other than getting a general idea of this city's situation, Tasha also wanted to investigate the leading families of this city and especially the Shinomiya family. She was doing it not for herself but for Hikari.

Tasha was once a part of a dark guild and she was forced to do many horrible things. She had once taken revenge on her organisation. So she understood Hikari's feelings and wanted to help her out. That was the reason she was collecting information about the families here.

Tasha spent quite a lot of money to buy information about all the families of this including the old and already destroyed once. That included even the information about the Amanogawa family. There it was mentioned that all the members of the Amanogawa family had died in that incident.

This information also included that the main culprit behind that incident was the head of the Shinomiya family. So most of the higher ups of the other families should also know about this.

The Amanogawa family was not the only family of this city that was suddenly overthrown by a different family. In the last 10 years 5 such incidents had happened. Tasha predicted that a bigger power was behind all this. The matter of Hikari's revenge was more complex than what she had expected.

After getting all the information, she proposed a deal to the manager. Instead of just buying information from him she wanted to have a cooperative relationship with them. Tasha wanted them to work for her and to send her various pieces of information in regular intervals.

After negotiating for a bit, Tanshiro decided to accept her proposal. The amount she was offering was something he was unable to reject. He also decided to give her some extra service by offering her a VIP membership of a somewhat large international gang called "Ascherchaste".

It was quite a powerful organisation and this organisation was behind this place.

...

After leaving this shop next Tasha entered a dilapidated half broken shop. According to the extra information Tanshiro gave her, this place should be a base for a very good ninja organisation.

The ninjas working here were the best of the best and only a few expert ninjas working for big families were a little bit better than them.

Tanshiro had also given her a card which was a necessary item if she wanted to work with this group and as soon as she showed her card to the front desk, she was taken to an underground space.

Her negotiations here were even more smooth as it looked like this group did not have many clients currently. So they immediately accepted her job and were extremely happy after learning how much she was willing to pay them.

After getting this group's service, Tasha was almost done with her objectives. But there was still some time left before the arrival of the time when she needed to meet back with Rein. So she decided to spend the remaining time by splurging a bit on shopping.

After sending all the other ninjas to their new base, Stella ended her study session early and took Miyako to a restaurant and booked a room there. Miyako was horrified to see that her body was not under her control and was doing everything that Stella asked her to do.

Actually Stella was using a super specialised lightning magic spell to control the nerve and muscle of Miyako and that was why she was able to order her around like a puppet.

This was a spell that she recently came up with and previously she would not be able to use it, as the control she needed to utilise it was insane. But after getting her new mind acceleration skill, now she was finally able to use this spell and so far she was happy with how useful it was.

After taking Miyako to a tavern, Stella booked a private room and then started her interrogation. She used the same type of spell to directly send pain signals to Miyako's brain. Even though she had training in enduring pain, this type of direct pain was too much for her and she soon gave up.

This process was way easier than Stella expected and the problem was also not serious at all. Stella was not someone who was very good at interrogation and torture, so she was extremely happy after she was able to properly interrogate a professional ninja like Miyako.

And the reason why she was targeting her was because her boss wanted to recruit her and Tasha. So it was a very minor problem.

When Stella was done with the interrogation, it was almost time for her to meet up with Rein, Tasha and Kagura. So she knocked Miyako out and sent her to that same base where she had sent the other ninjas. Then she went to the destination where everyone was supposed to meet up.

What they were going to do with the captured ninjas would be decided after discussing about it with everyone.

Rein and Kagura had a good time walking together hand in hand while checking out various places. They were already aware that some people were following them and that their pictures were taken, but it was not really a big deal for him as Rein was not hiding his or his girlfriends' faces.

This date was a massive success for Rein as he was able to make Kagura conscious of himself. Now it was not long before she would be able to understand what true love was and both of their relationship would then reach a brand new level.

But now it was almost time for them to meet up with Stella and Tasha, so they started to walk toward the restaurant where they were planning to have lunch together. This place was not very far from where Rein and Kagura were and soon the restaurant was in their view.

Stella and Tasha were already there and Kagura was able to see them from her location.

Just as the two of them were going to enter the restaurant, suddenly Kagura mastered up her courage and landed a kiss on Rein's chick. Then she ran toward the table where the two other girls were sitting with a beet red face. Rein smiled and followed behind her.

He was feeling very blissful at this moment.
