Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 83 - Hallucination Technique
Riyu and Yami meet 2 of her bodyguards in a prison with glass that borders them.
The two men inside the prison wore handcuffs on their hands with their faces drowned.
It seems that they failed to provide information of the fight between Riyu and Yami to make the Kuro family and the Akaasa Family even more hostile.
In addition, based on the information that Ryu got from Maya, they also seem to want to tell that the Akaasa Family is researching a new technology.
Although they do not know what it is, but their words have been able to make others curious about the technology that the Aka-Language Family is researching.
And that surprised Ryu a little.
Riyu has a feeling that some people already smell some technology they are researching, and they send out spies just to confirm it.
With the information from Maya, Riyu tightened the research room so that the checking in that room would be really tight from now on.
.
.
After a few arrangements, Yami and Riyu were finally able to talk to them despite being blocked by the glass.
“Alex, Eiji, why?”
Yami looked at the two bodyguards with a sad face. He was basically very close to them and considered them as his seniors. And at this moment he did not understand why they were betraying him.
“Young Master.”
One of his guards looked at Yami with guilt. He seemed to want to say something, but stopped his steps and just silently lowered his head, as if he wanted to apologize to his Young Master, but felt he had no right to do so.
As for the other man, based on Ryu's observation he was a long blonde man with some arrogant expression. It was evident from how he simply turned his face away and did not seem to feel guilty about what he was doing.
“Hmph-deep. You're not cut out to be the leader of the Koro family, Young Master. The Akaasa family must be stopped before they destroy our family. And here, you are with the heir of the Akaasa family. That's ridiculous. How many of our soldiers do you think have died and been injured because of them?”
Riyu frowned after hearing the words of Yami's bodyguard. He felt that something was wrong with his words.
“What do you mean?”
Ryu asks what one of Yami's bodyguards meant.
“Be quiet, you are indeed the heir of the Akaasa family, you are all rotten people. Do you think we don't know if you're planning?”
Riyu heard some other crazy ramblings and the more she heard the more she felt annoyed. And when it reaches at an increasingly crazier stage that Riyu can't tolerate it anymore.
“That's why the Akaasa family should be-”
“Yami, I'll beat him up,”
Said Ryu coldly. And before Yami could react to her words, Riyu had already stepped up quickly, as if she was piercing through glass, and-
“BOOM”
“Argh. Gah.”
The man with long blonde hair was thrown backwards so that even the dindin became slightly cracked.
“Listen damn, I don't know if you're doctored by heresy or something like that. But if you dare to say any more nonsense about my family, I will beat you up.”
Riyu said with cold eyes with her pupils turning blue.
The man coughed and looked at Riyu angrily even while he was still feeling the pain in his stomach.
“What? Are you upset? Wanna hit me? Maya, take off the handcuffs.”
Riyu tells Maya to remove the man's handcuffs because she wants to completely destroy them.
“Hah..”.
Maya who saw how Riyu was currently in the control room could only sigh, but still obey her words.
“Forward.”
Ryu challenged the man to face him. And after his handcuffs were removed, the man immediately lunged at Riyu filled with anger. Of course it was easy for Riyu to fight him and what happened after that was a massacre.
“Guh, uhuk. “
“Stand.”
“Hit me again.”
“Argh.”
“Stand again. Are you out of energy or what? Stand!”
.
‘I'm fine.”
Ryu replied it seemed to have comforted himself

Ryu used one of his skills.
It included skills that could be used by people who had dark energy. Of course, not everyone who had dark energy could use the skill, especially when Riyu had already modified it so that the effect was much stronger.
[More - Hallucination Technique ]
[The ability to make others hallucinate so thoroughly that he cannot distinguish between the real and the non-real. ]
[Terms: Mastery of Intermediate Level Dark Energy ]
[Energy Power: 400 EP]
With that ability, Ryu hallucinates that Yami's bodyguard Alex was saved by someone so he tells Ryu his plans willingly.
The technique consumed at least 0.2 percent of Riyu's energy.
It might have been easier if Riyu could learn the [Shadow Memory Scan] skill, but the price for that ability was really expensive. In addition, the side effects for its recipients were quite terrible.
But even with that ordinary skill, Riyu could take some information from Yami's bodyguards, and one of them, the reason why she hated the Akaasa family and that made Riyu's eyes become slightly wrinkled.
.

After Ryu was done, he intended to return. And as they walked towards the door,
“Wait Young Master, Young Master Riyu!”
Yami's bodyguards yelled out begging for Riyu and Yami to stop.
Riyu turned around and saw one of Yami's other bodyguards prostrate to her, and seemed to want to beg her for something.
”I am indeed unfit to ask for this, but I beg you, please save my sister and mother. I would do anything even if I were a slave. I beg!”
“...”
“Eiji..”.
According to Mikoto's report, one of Yami's bodyguards was a spy working for the Kuro Family Traitor, while the other was forced to betray Yami because her family was threatened by the Family Traitor.
Riyu actually felt shocked and angry when she found out about it. But he tried to calm himself down and thought about the best way to deal with the problem.
“Do you know the place?”
Riyu said calmly, not inflicting any ripples on her expression.
“I.. “
The man named Eiji was quite confused and sad because he did not know where they were being held.
“Hah... It's really troublesome.”
Riyu rubbed her head thinking that this might indeed be troublesome. Yet he still responded to Yami's bodyguard and said to her,
“I will do something, but I will not guarantee it. But you better tell all you know to my people. If you're hiding something, believe me I'm not an easy person.”
After saying that, Riyu leaves and Yami catches up with her after she finishes seeing her bodyguard and convinces her that she will help find her family.
.

"I'm really sorry, Ryu. I didn't know that there would be spies even among my confidants. Even Eiji..”.
“Yah. There's nothing you can do about human feelings. But you better pay more attention to some of those things. Besides, I know you want to act immediately, but I suggest you stay calm and think clearly,"
Yami nodded. He felt disappointed and angry, but he did not want to make things worse.
"What should we do now?" ask Yami.
"For now, we must take careful steps. We should also gather as much information as possible about your family's traitors and how best to defeat them" Riyu replied.
Yami and Riyu discussed further on how to resolve the issue. They both realized that this was not an easy matter, but they were confident that they could solve it together.
“By the way, what do you want me to do? The fight was indeed a series, but in fact I did lose.”
“Then I won't hesitate. Do some of these things for me.”
