"Yes Blake residence."
This happened after Germain came but before Blake built a makeshift cellphone receiver.
"Its me."
"Akame-Kun! Why call me so late?" He asked, "You're about 0.02 seconds late."
"Honestly I'm afraid of how you even managed to calculate that."
"I planned for you to call me sooner, it was either that or you just wouldn't have called today, but then again I suppose it matters not. How may I be of assistance."
"We're currently on the Aquatic Blue headed towards Molo for a checkpoint. We arrive there in about 6 to 7 minutes. However, we're also a target or rather the person we're with is the actual target."
"Oh, is it the guy who killed the minister?" Blake turned to his computer and began typing.
"How did you deduce that from a single sentence."
"Simple really. I saw that yesterday you went to one of the safe houses, the place where underworld sorcerers get jobs or other possessions without being traced. I assume you did this because you didn't want my help, as such I decided to check the dark web database for anything that might be useful to you and wouldn't you know it tickets for the Aquatic blue were up for sale. But not from the person you are currently with, you see this was someone else, probably a friend or accomplice. To help him get out of the city before things escalate to a point where he could no longer deal with it."
"You just made a lot of assumptions."
"But none of which were baseless."
Akame had expected as much. There is a reason why Blake's ability is called.
PERFECT PROBABILITY
"Even so there is a part of that spectrum you still don't know about?"
"Which is?"
"The chief of police, this is most likely his doing."
"Interesting theory, but I would think this rabbit hole your finding yourself in stretches much deeper than your hand can reach."
"?"
"For example I see no reason for him to send any assassins after the man your currently with."
"I thought that would make the most sense."
"It would, if the state felt guilty about it. But honestly if they were able to pull this off with just this one guy imagine the amount of ministers they could also assassination with the same guy."
Blake had read this story in the daily paper a few days prior in fact this was why he sent Akame to the city in the first place. But he wasn't going to admit ti this.
"True, they would most likely consider him an asset and not want to kill him. Why didn't I think of that?"
"It seems easy because I explained it, otherwise it would be difficult to pinpoint this exact reasoning from just clues left to us by whatever maniac is writing this story."
"So you think there's something more to this, something deeper?"
"Yes. You say you were easily able to dispatch of most of them right?"
"Yeah, but Gil did most of the work." (He got like 20 of them.)
"Do you think that all of them are ametures?"
"What are you getting at?"
"If I wanted to kill someone I know is out of my league I would simply wait for other ameture assassins to tire him out then go for the killing blow collecting the reward."
Akame's eyes widened, "Oh of course."
"Anyway, there's someone much more powerful coming for you so be on the look out. I'll call if I get anything."
"I'd appreciate it, thanks." He was about to hang up.
"Also, if you need support just ask for it." Blake said, "I'm here for that exact purpose, over reliance on me won't matter if we both get what we want in the end. And if something were to happen to me, then find someone else to rely on, that's how human beings grow. You have a habit of trying to do everything yourself. It'll be your undoing."
Akame sighed, "Yeah I'll think about it."
He hung up.
"This is actually concerning." Blake spoke to himself as he visited the Vatican site where they list all of the most wanted criminals in each continent.
"I thought it would take more time so I was just going to relax for a day or two. However I am sorry to say Akame but it would appear that the bounty on your head is currently active within all countries in the world. In short, you're the one that assassin is looking to kill."

CURRENTLY IN KISUMU, THE PORT CITY OF LOLIWE
The group of four entered the chief's office. This time he had fitted a bigger door. Even though it had only been less than 24 hours since Teddy and Jericho had been there.
"What's up chief?" Jericho greeted, "Got anything good for us?"
"You should've called in advance." The chief was clearly swamped with paper work not to mention the constant ringing of the phone by his side. "You can't just come in here unannounced like that and expect me to have everything you need."
"We want to be seekers." Angel was growing impatient and decided to speak.
"Seekers. You people want to be seekers?" He stared, "Your serious?"
"Does it look like we're fucking joking?" Justine said but he then realized the longer they stayed the better the traffic, "Actually, take your time."
"No, we're in a hurry so could you briefly tell us what we're supposed to do." Angel interrupted.
'Having all of them here could be an issue, is what I thought before they had asked to be seekers. Then they report to me and me alone. As such, maybe a few more eyes wouldn't hurt. Just in case that Blight fails.'
"Well, fine I suppose since you've asked to nicely I'll let you be seekers on three conditions."
This case stays under wraps and no one outside of the people involved gets to hear about this. Any and all findings will be reported to me and me alone with the exception of the interference of a higher power that has gone through me. The target is wanted more alive than dead, if you can bring him in alive then that's even better."
"Seems simple enough." Jericho stretched, "So can we get the job?"
"It would be a nice team bonding experience." Teddy said with a smile.
"Your delusional, this team is more dysfunctional than a bad battery. Best we just get this over with and get back to our regular lives." Justine said.
"Yes, I agree."
"Sorry bud." Jericho gave him a pat on the back.
The man logged in to the Vatican web site on his computer. After finding for what he was searching for he turned the screen.
Everyone was unfazed with what they currently. Well, this was with the exception of Jericho and Teddy who stared at the picture in disbelief.
"Iman is that?"
"Yeah, I think…"
The man they saw before them was the same man they had met the previous day. But in all honesty what shocked them more than that wasn't the bounty but rather the rating he had on the website.
"Meaning if he wanted to…" Teddy began.
"He could have killed us, huh?"
Yes this was because he was a six star sorcerer with only one word of information under his wanted poster.
IF SEEN, RUN ON SITE!
