Chapter 326: Powers at Play
Ryder had the man’s neck in his hand, and he had just cut the man’s right hand in half in length.
Ryder watched the man’s face that was filled with agony.
"Scream. Scream all you want. Now that people are already dead, I have all the ti I need to have fun with you and make sure that you feel pain worse than death," Ryder muttered as he changed his hand and caught the man’s next with his other hand and switched the knife to the hand that was holding the man’s neck.
"So, do you want to do yourself a favor and answer whatever I ask, or you want to go on?" He asked as he made the pointy end of the knife touch the left elbow of the man.
"D-don’t do it. I’ll tell you everything," the man said as he stopped Ryder. He was already in extre agony because of his right hand. He didn’t want to go through the sa pain again.
"Good. So tell . Why did the bombs go off so fast? Weren’t they supposed to blast at ten?" Ryder asked the man.
"H-how do you know that?" The man asked with a horrified look on his face. The was supposed to be the secret. He didn’t know how Ryder knew it.
Twenty Minutes Ago,
Ryder had just placed the bomb in his inventory when he was using the excuse of tying his laces. He hadn’t known, but that has changed everything.
Far away from the building, a masked man was standing at the top of a roof.
He suddenly frowned as his phone started beeping.
He picked up the phone.
"Hmm? Has a bomb already gone offline? It’s not even the ti. How can soone find the bomb this soon? Soone is really getting involved in our matters. Who could it be? Is it you, Mr. Undying Hero? Did you finally decide to co out?" The Masked man muttered as he grinned.
"You really think you can save everyone, can’t you? Let’s see where you are," the man muttered as he tried to trace the number that was with the person who had the bomb that had gone offline, but that number was also untraceable.
He called the number, but it didn’t connect. It was as if the phone had disappeared from this world. Coincidentally, it was also the ti when Ryder had placed the man’s phone in his invention as well.
" He’s really an Idiot. He doesn’t know that by disarming a bomb, he didn’t save anyone; instead, he just decreased the ti of other bombs. Other guys don’t know. They’ll probably die in the blast of the bombs they’re carrying. Whatever, they’re just ants. It doesn’t matter if they die," The masked man muttered as he grinned.
He dialed another number on his phone.
"Yeah, get the location that was assigned to bomb number 11," The man said.
He knew the number of the bomb that had gone offline, but he didn’t know where the bomb was supposed to be. He decided to ask his n directly.
"Ah, a bar. We might as well have a drink and see our new friend. Mister Undying Hero, I hope you don’t leave," the masked man said as he jumped down from the building.
Ryder hadn’t known that his half-knowledge had caused the bombs to boast faster. He was standing inside the helicopter that seed to be flying away from the bar and in the direction of Shu Estate.
He was waiting for the man to answer him.
"The bombs blew up faster because of you. I don’t know what you did and where you kept the bomb, but it probably cut off its signal, which was synchronized with the other thirteen bombs. That decreased the ti, and this happened," the man told Ryder.
’Putting one bomb inside my inventory made every other bomb blow up? What the heck? My entire plan rested on putting the bombs in my invention to stop them. How can I stop the bombs without that? I can’t put all 14 bombs in inventory at once. I can only do that one by one, and if I did that, others would blow up. What can I do to succeed in the next ti jump? It seems impossible," Ryder thought as he looked at the man with a frown on his face.
’There seems to be only one way. I must go with the better option and my initial plan. Targeting them at their base before they activated the bombs,’ Ryder thought as he frowned.
"At what ti were the bombs activated and synchronized?" he asked the man.
"Ah, that... Just half an hour before we left the facility. That should be at around 7 Pm," the man answered Ryder.
’Slightly over two hours. I can’t stop it without dying," Ryder thought as he sighed.
"Tell where this facility was and everything you know about it, including the people that were involved with it and how many people were there," he commanded the man.
The man started explaining everything to Ryder while Ryder listened carefully and tried to visualize everything.
Back at Esmi’s Club, a masked man had just landed in front of the club.
The man walked towards the club.
"Show us your ID Card and take off the mask!"
The guards stopped the masked man at the entrance as they asked for his ID card.
"My ID Card? I seem to have forgotten it at ho," the masked man said as he grinned behind his Mask.
"Sorry, you can’t enter then," The Guards said, shaking their heads. "Please go back and co with your ID card next ti."
"Oh, I can’t go back. How about I show you sothing else?" The masked man asked the guards.
"Show what?" the guards inquired in confusion.
"Your Death!" The Masked Man let out as he laughed.
The Guards were shocked at his words. They were about to pull out their weapons, but before they could do anything, their necks were caught by the masked n.
It didn’t take the masked man even a second before their necks were crushed. The guards fell down to the crowd.
"Bloody Insects," the masked man snorted as he pushed the door open and entered inside.
"Who is the leader here?" he asked the nearest person.
"The leader isn’t here, but he’s the person of authority at the mont," The person answered as they pointed towards Makk, who was drinking on a table.
"A person of authority, huh. Let’s see if his authority can help ," the masked man muttered as he walked towards Makk.
