The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1304  The Infiltration II

The plan was actually quite simple after Owen and Daniel knocked off two of the Aeon Institute security guards on their vacation when they visited a bar, Garrof will asked his 'new girlfriend' to help him find a job, and using 'pillow talk or whatever he would convince miss girlfriend to let him replace the position two security guards who absent due to injuries from the fight at the Bar just for a day.

Thanks to Garrof's great persuasion, he managed to replace the poor security guard who needed to rest for a day despite already being given a health potion. One can only imagine how badly Owen and Daniel hurt them. Garrof also took Lloyd, whom he introduced as a fellow unemployed person, to fill the empty security position, who knows how, but 'Miss Girlfriend agreed readily as a result Garrof and Lloyd successfully disguised as the security guard.

On the outside, Owen, Dan, and Lydia would work as a support team they were also responsible for clearing their way out in due course once they were done, after all, they wouldn't let amateur kids take the big risk of entering the heavily guarded building.

Lastly, Lory's task is to sneak into the Aeon building to see what is happening and also get evidence of what is being done at the Aeon Institute, therefore Lory will disguise herself as one of the employees but to enter the building Lory must pass through several layers of security which Lory cannot do alone, this is where Garrof and Lloyd come into play.

When they arrived, Garrof and Lloyd were greeted by his 'girlfriend' who then explained their duties and took Garrof to the control room while Lloyd would be on patrol duty around the building, while Lory waited outside untill Garrof gave her clearance.

Miss's boyfriend introduced them to the head of security before he returned to his duties.

The security chief sized them up and down, "Ex-military?" he asked them with a probing look.

"Retired" Lloyd corrected him.

The security chief frowned in suspicion, "Why?"

"I beat my commander," Lloyd said casually.

Garrof also replies nonchalantly, "I slept with the captain's wife," The security chief was stunned but a second later he grinned broadly "Badass!"

"..."

"..."

Lory waited in a separate car outside the parking lot, as she needed access to enter the Aeon parking lot. Lory tapped her fingers on the steering wheel while staring anxiously at the Aeon building while checking the time, cause she couldn't stay here too long or someone would get suspicious.

In the meantime, Garrof was already inside the control room, Aeon's security control room was larger than a normal building and there were approximately twenty to twenty-five people and each got their attention focused on the computer screen and several others watching the movements of the people in the building through the large screens attached to the walls.

Garrof had to find a way to hack the system, he just had to plug Jason's 'dirty fingers' little USB into one of the computers to enter Lory's fake data, but what was he supposed to do?

Garrof caught one of the staff walking with coffee in his hand, an idea suddenly came to mind.

Garrof approached him and then deliberately nudged his shoulder, because Garrof was already big, his coffee spilled onto his clothes.

"What the hel*l, Don't you have eyes!!" the person scolded Garrof.

Garrof raised his hands in panic, "Sorry-sorry, I didn't mean that!"

"IDIOT!" he snorted angrily then went to the bathroom to clean himself.

Everyone just glanced at Garrof and then went back to their work without care. Garrof smiled awkwardly then took a box of tissue on the table and began to clean the remaining coffee on the table and floor. Unbeknownst to anyone, he swiftly plugged the small USB into the computer, and a second later new data appeared on the computer screen.

Garrof pressed enter to enter the data and after that, he took the USB off and went to throw the dirty tissue outside the control room, once he was outside he tapped the earbuds and said: "You're in, princess" and then he got back to the control room.

Lory then drove the car to the parking lot then stopped at the first security guard.

The security checks Lory's car meanwhile Lory presses her ID card into the identification machine, not long after she hears a beep sound, and Lory's picture and identification show on the screen.

"Have a nice day, Miss Lou" the security said then the car barrier lifted.

"Thank you" Lory smiled and then drove her car to the parking lot after which she took her boring office bag and then queued with other employees for another security check.

Lory glanced at the camera that was monitoring if anyone was using a shapeshifting spell or something, then three guards watched them closely as they went through the body detector to see if anyone was carrying any dangerous weapons or amulets or charms, once Lory passed safely she move on to another security check which is the retina scan but unlike other machines, this one is hard to fool.

Garrof watched nervously on the camera screen as Lory underwent the retina screening.

Lory also swallowed hard while waiting for the machine to verify her identity, then a second later that felt like an eternity, finally the machine made a Beep sound.

Lory smiled politely at the security guard then left calmly when that's over Garrof sighed in relief. Lory was not as calm as she pretended to be, Lory let out a long exhale and then said: "Remind me to give Jason a raise"

"Affirmative, princess" Lloyd replied while Garrof looked down and smiled faintly to avoid anyone in the control room noticing the change in his expression.

"Amanda and Peter Miller are entering the building" Suddenly Daniel's voice was heard.

Lory turned around and saw Amanda Miller followed by Peter Miller and another female assistant pass through the security check without being checked, after that, they were greeted by the Aeon higher up.

"Heads up, Arlo Chawthorn is here as well" Owen chimed in.

not long after Arlo was followed by several assistants and bodyguards who looked like Argus agents and three Dragxtarn entered the building, he looked very imposing with so many bodyguards around him.　　 　 　　　　　 　　  　　 　 

"The whole gang seems to be here..." Lory comments while pretending to get a drink from the vending but she actually watching them from the glass reflection.

After exchanging pleasantry they went together to the elevator.

"I followed them" Lloyd, who was disguised as security, didn't look strange following the group but unfortunately he was stopped by one of the Dragxtarn.

"You stop here!" Dragxtarn looked at him condescendingly.

Loyd frowns "I just wanted to make sure everything was safe mate"

"This above your paygrade, mate," The Dragxtarn snorted mockingly then entered the elevator, leaving Lloyd alone.

 Lloyd clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Hey, what are you doing?" a security guard suddenly scolded Lloyd. "Come with me to guard the incoming packages!"

Since Lloyd was being dragged away by the other security guards, Lory took over, "I'm following them!" Lory said.

"They went to the twenty-fifth floor," Garrof whispered.

"Understood" Lory went to the elevator, however, she was not granted access to the twenty-fifth floor and she could not use all the access keys because the cameras were watching her, so Lory pressed the nineteenth floor the further floor she could get.

Lory sneaks into the exit door and then stumbles in front of the endless stairs, resigned to her fate Lory sighs helplessly "Hello, Cardio..."

"Good luck, your higness" Lloyd chuckles.

Lory took a deep breath and then started running up the stairs. Due to the magic cancellation planted inside the building, Lory couldn't use any spells, therefore she had to use her own strength to climb up to the sixth floor, not to mention, that it had been a long time since she had exercised properly.

On the fourth floor, Lory's pace began to decrease and her breathing became heavier, Lory gripped the stair railing and gasped for air.

"You're okay princess" Lloyd chuckled a bit when he heard Lory's heavy breathing.

"I'm... fine...I hope" Lory panted.

"You can do it, Your Highness" Lydia sweetly cheered for Lory.

"Take a deep breath, Your Highness, you'll be fine" Dan was sincerely worried about Lory.

"Why don't you rest for a while, Your Majesty" Owen also expressed his concern.

"No way, Your Majesty, they are entering the restricted area now, and be careful because the entire twenty-fifth floor is filled with Argus agents" Garrof sent a warning to Lory.

Lory snorted loudly then continued up the stairs. After painstaking efforts, he finally reached the twenty-fifth floor.

Lory leaned her tired back against the wall, slowly catching her breath, a minute later Lory took a deep breath, and her whole body language gradually changed.

"Is there someone behind the door?" asked Lory.

Garrof looked at the CCTV screen from afar and then whispered "There is one man on the right"

"Okay," Lory cracked her fingers to ready herself.

The man guarding the exit suddenly heard a knock on the exit. He frowned and then carefully pushed open the door to check but he didn't find anyone behind the door but he wasn't sure he stepped inside the exit to see if anyone had passed the stairs or was hiding somewhere.

He didn't realize Lory was hiding behind the door, when the door closed Lory hit the man on the back of the neck and he immediately fell unconscious.

Lory slowly opened the exit then peeked out to check the situation when she was sure she was safe she slipped out.

Lory tread carefully while avoiding the camera then she noticed another agent was on guard, Lory swiftly hid behind the wall pillar.

"Too many people, I need to get rid of them and the camera" Lory grumbled.

"I'm coming!" Lloyd hastily said.

"Dan, can you make some noise, outside" Garrof sent an order.

"Got it!" Dan replies briskly.

Daniel looked around and then threw marbles that were given beforehand under the car at the parking lot and immediately the cars blew up and shocked everyone around the AEON institute building.

"There's a big explosion in the parking lot!" people in the control room become alert.

"Send everyone to check the parking lot!"

"There's a possible attack at the west parking lot - I repeat there's a possible attack at the west parking lot - please give immediate attention!"
