Evening.

After eating dinner and calling Akira that I won't be able to come back home and to let everyone in the house know, I am now going to roll out my search for Father. I have no clue where he was but I have an idea where I would search for clues about him.

The first stop is Mother and Father's house. I may have not personally visited their house, but I know the address in case I would like to visit them. It was a 30-minute ride from my new mansion. Rain is still pouring hard but that didn't stop me from going to their house.

When I arrived in the area, I noticed that the lights inside the house of my father is on and I hear some people inside. Due to my suspicion of it, I take a precaution and parked my car far from the house so that the people inside won't find out about my arrival and they won't suspect it. It was like there are some ruckus due to how noisy they were inside. It didn't sound like they are having fun inside so I doubt it was some sort of gathering. Not only that but I feel like the things inside the house have been raided by someone. I tried to listen to whoever they are. If they are someone who Father invited, much better. But if they are not, then I have to tread carefully.

"Have you found anything yet?"

"No. The bastard hid it very carefully. Go upstairs, maybe he hid it up there!"

Thankfully, it was the right call for me to tread carefully. These bastards are trespassers on my father's house! Materializing my weapon, I sneak inside the yard of my father's house and observe the situation from there. Since the people inside were pretty loud, I managed to estimate how many of them were inside the house. 3 people upstairs and 2 on the first floor

'What the hell are they doing here? Are they trying to find something in possession from my father?'

Whatever they are trying to find, I can't afford them to get it. I do not want to commit a crime but I will make sure that they will regret doing it.

I am not really good at sneaking in real life and I have no ability to help with that so I have to be really sneaky. I managed to enter the room successfully without a sound. My estimation was correct about two people on the ground floor. They were currently busy looking at the pile of things on the drawers on the ground floor making it too messy.

When the other one was looking away from the other, I took this chance and zap the other with high voltage skill from my hands. It only took a second before he was knocked out unconscious. The other one looked back and was surprised when he saw the other guy emitting smoke.

"Hey bud! What hap-guh!!" before the other guy can even approach the electrocuted guy, he was also zapped by electricity. It didn't take him long before he also passed out. I made sure that it isn't lethal but enough for them to get knocked out. I have to gather information from them.

"Two down," I mumbled before going upstairs. With all the clutter around, it is easy to hide and blend in to the surroundings.

Since there are three people upstairs, I have to take them out in one go or move as fast as I can and take them down before they can react. But how should I approach? If I have the ability of the Saboteur class, I can just lay out a trap and wait for them to trigger it but I am in reality and the saboteur class skills are all existing only in the game. Sure I can use their weapon but I have no access to their skills.

CRASH!

"Wha?! What's going on?!"

"Power outtage?! F*ck! Summon out your flashlight man!"

"I didn't bring it today! I thought we wouldn't be using it today!"

"Agh, bastard. You really ruin the day huh, find a flashlight and get back here. We need to find what we are looking for as soon as possible. The neighborhood might notice our presence here and we can't afford to get discovered. Go!"

It was surprising for me but the intruders too were not prepared for that since the whole surroundings fade to black and their voices started to panic. It seems that we have a brownout. Maybe due to the lightning strike that crashed somewhere, the flow of electricity is interrupted. I grinned since fortune has blessed me for this opportunity. For someone who can easily feel the surroundings without opening my eyes, this is a very ideal situation for me.

I changed my weapon into a Bo staff and feel my surroundings in a whole. When I spotted them in their current location, I quickly made my move and strike. With one of them gone to find a flashlight, makes this much easier.

THWACK! THWACK!

Quick and swift, another two were down. A few seconds later, I saw the light of the flashlight flashing. It seems the other guy who was tasked to fetch a flashlight managed to acquire on in one of the rooms.

"I found a flashlight guys. Guys?"

I grinned when he found out the other guys were missing. It only took me a second carrying their unconscious bodies away from where they were before. So it looks like they disappeared.

"Guys? What the hell? Where are you guys?! F*CK! What is happening?!"

The guy with the flashlight is in the state of panic. Any sane person will also do the same after your buddies disappear in just a few seconds after you just went to a room for a few seconds to grab a flashlight and in the next moment, they are gone.

"Bro, don't scare man. You know that I am not that good in horror and jumpscares. Please, stop pranking me."

However, the man only heard the pitter patter sound of the rain in the roof and the wind blowing outside, making the surroundings more ominous than normal. Other than that, he didn't hear anything else nor even the voices of the people he was looking for.

Based on his reaction, he is not sure what to do, making him to vulnerable on ambush. His hands are shaking too much while gripping the flashlight. As much as I wanted to scare him, I decided to not do it. I am in a hurry to find father. The sooner this is done, the better.

As the guy was still looking for his comrades around, I sneak behind him and before he can turn around, the hard Bo staff meet his face, effectively knocking him out of his consciousness.

After taking care of them, I look around for a rope and a few duct tape before tying them up. I also checked their clothes for any sort of items that they might use to escape or anything. I didn't find any sort of clue but I got a hold of their phones. The problem though is that I have no clue on what the passwords of these phones since the screen was encrypted with a password. If I can put the password, I can access the contents of their phone. Too bad, I have no skill in hacking so I all I can do is to make this guys spit out the password or just get rid of it and find what they were looking for.

I grab one random intruder and pour a bottle of water on his face, effectively waking him up. Although it is dark, it didn't matter much and he can still hear my voice.

"What are the intentions of you and your fellow intruders have to intrude in this place?"

"Wha? Who are...(crack)... AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"

"Who said you can ask a question? I am the one who will ask a question and the only thing you need to do is answer it. Simple and straightforward," I said to him after releasing one of his fingers that I just bend to break.

"Kh... I don't know what you (crack)... GAAAAAHHH!"

"We can do this all day, you have 10 fingers and 10 toes, 2 are already broken, there are still 18 left to break, so are you going to answer or not?"

"Just kill m-(CRACK)eeeeaaaugggghhhh!"

"It's too soon for you to die and if you wish to die so badly, go ahead, you are welcome to jump off the cliff or lay yourself on the road. Don't drag me on your bullcrap, I don't want to soil my hands."

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK!

All 10 fingers of him was already broken but the guy was tenacious. However, I can see that he is now releasing saliva. It seems like he is almost on his very limit.

"Since all your fingers are broken, how about we proceed to the toes?"

"Okay, okay! I will talk! Spare me! Just don't break my toes, please have mercy!"
