Chapter 276: Conveying Successfully Obtained Information

The two men fell silent for a moment, staring at the Shadow Clone with expressions of surprise. One of them, a burly man with scars on his face, asked suspiciously, "… Did you hear what we were talking about?"

"Of course," replied the Shadow Clone with a slight smile. "We accidentally overheard your conversation earlier. It sounded quite important, so we became interested. Is what you’re discussing true?"

The scarred man snorted but eventually nodded. "Yes, as we said, we will attack the Fortress City Academy in a few days. I heard this directly from one of the Captains."

The Shadow Clone pretended to be shocked and moved closer. "Really? Tell me more details. What’s our plan?"

The man smiled proudly, as if he felt he possessed valuable exclusive information. He glanced around before speaking in a low voice, but loud enough for the Shadow Clone to hear. "We will bomb one of the gates of Fortress City 085. While all attention is focused on that gate, we will blow up another gate on the opposite side."

Then the man paused for a moment, as if wanting to ensure they were listening carefully. He continued with a tone full of confidence. "When the guards and all the troops are busy dealing with the chaos at those two gates, we will launch an attack on the Fortress City Academy. Our main target is the woman who is carrying the child of a God. After kidnapping her, we will bomb the Fortress City Academy on a large scale, then escape before anyone realizes what has actually happened."

The Shadow Clone listened attentively, making sure no detail was missed. This plan sounded very organized and dangerous, more than they had previously suspected. One of the Shadow Clones pretended to nod enthusiastically. "Amazing. This plan is sure to succeed," said the Shadow Clone in a seemingly supportive tone.

However, deep down, they knew that this information needed to be conveyed to Haruto immediately. This attack was not just a threat to the Fortress City Academy, but also to the city and the thousands of lives within it.

Casually, they ended the conversation and pretended to return to their routine, while planning the best way to convey this information without drawing attention.

After the two Shadow Clones were at a safe distance from the original location, they began searching for a secure place to continue their plan. After a while of exploring the surrounding area, they found a simple building that looked like a small eatery with a calm atmosphere and few visitors.

Upon entering the building, they ordered a place and were quickly directed by a waiter to a special room that seemed designed for customers needing privacy. The room was equipped with sliding doors and thin curtains that added to the hidden feel.

"So, gentlemen, what would you like to order?" asked a young male waiter with a friendly smile. The man's face looked innocent, but the glint in his eyes suggested he was used to serving customers from various backgrounds.

"Just give us chicken soup," one of the Shadow Clones replied in a flat tone, as if not wanting to draw more attention than necessary.

"Understood," the waiter replied while slightly bowing, then left them.

As silence filled the room, the two Shadow Clones began to observe the details of the space. Their eyes scanned every corner—the wooden walls, small windows with tightly closed curtains, and soft lighting from hanging lanterns. After ensuring that the place was safe, they looked at each other, as if they understood the next step without needing many words.

"So, are we going to convey the information as usual?" one of the Shadow Clones asked in a low voice.
