Chapter 381

When Kei found out what the missiles were for he suddenly screamed at the others . "We gotta stop them from firing the missiles . If even one of those gets out, it might endanger everything we know!"

After he was done shouting that to the others, Kei went back to talking to the scientist . "You need to stop those missiles from firing!"

"I can’t do that, the only one who has the authorization to launch them or stop them is that man over there . " The scientist pointed at Hektor .

"Then can you guys disassemble it, or make it so that it can never detonate . "

"That’s impossible to do right now . Even if we want to, we can’t go against his orders . You see this," the scientist then showed Kei a huge lump that was on his neck . "This is an explosive device he planted on each and every one of us . If we go against his orders, not only us but even our families will explode . "

Seeing this and hearing what the scientist said made Kei grit his teeth in frustration . "There must be a way to remove those things . "

"If there was a way don’t you think we would’ve done it already!" The scientist shouted at Kei in irritation .

. . .

The others who heard what Kei and scientist were talking about could no longer just stand by and watch Oliver fight Hektor alone . The only option they had left was to kill Hektor before he launches those missiles .

"You crazy b*stard, what the hell are you planning to do with those missiles!" Oliver shouted as he didn’t bother anymore with his fist and started shooting at Hektor . Seeing him being shot at, Hektor who was wearing gauntlets blocked the bullets by deflecting them with his gauntlets .

"Is that any way to talk to your uncle? You really are a rude o-" Hektor jumped upward evading Niel and Sayaka’s sudden dash towards him . The moment Hektor jumped, Niel used his wires to entangle Hektor’s leg and then he pulled him downward .

Hektor who was now falling to the ground used the momentum he was gaining to try and stomp on Niel . Seeing this Niel started shooting at Hektor, who didn’t even flinch as the bullets went straight to his leg . When Hektor was about to stomp on Niel, Oliver had dashed out and kicked Hektor . Even in that situation, Hektor was able to block the kick as he was pushed backward . It was then the three who were fighting Hektor noticed something weird . The holes made by the bullet wounds were starting to close .

"This is pretty nice, no wonder Richter injected himself with those nanomachines . With this kind of invulnerability coupled with his strength, he’s practically unstoppable . . . Well, that applies to me as well . " Hektor smiled at his opponents .

Niel and Oliver knew what the closing of his wounds mean, and when they heard the words nanomachines, it wasn’t really hard to figure out . Hektor was the same as Alex’s crazy grandfather and the executioner he too was injected with the nanomachines and survived . This means every attack that doesn’t destroy the brain or separate his limbs from his body will not work .

. . .

While Oliver, Niel, and Sayaka were having a difficult fight . Kei, Emily, Evangeline, and Rachel were trying to do something with the missiles . Kei and Evangeline were guarding Emily as she was trying to hack into the main system that could possibly stop the launch of the missiles . Rachel, on the other hand, still couldn’t move properly so she was just sitting on the side concentrating on regaining her strength .

"Emily, can you do it?" Kei asked a bit anxiously . Emily who was typing as fast as she could was now sweating profusely . "I don’t know! The security here is the best I have ever seen . Even in my most positive estimate, assuming that I could hack in, at all, it would take me an hour to disable all the missiles . "

"Emi you’re our only hope now . That guy is planning on releasing a biological weapon that would affect the whole continent or possibly the world if these plans laid out here are to be believed . " Evangeline spoke as she looked at the blueprints scattered around, she didn’t know what the effects of this weapon could do but based on what she saw and heard she guessed that it was going to be devastating .

"I’m trying my best here!" When Emily shouted that, a timer suddenly started . The four of them who saw the timer saw that it was now set to an hour . When they saw it at first they were confused, but then they looked at the only person capable of doing this .

Hektor who was fighting the other three was laughing now . "You think I didn’t notice what you guys are doing . These missiles have long been finished we were just doing some final checking, but it doesn’t matter now . "

Hektor who was evading Oliver, Niel, and Sayaka’s attacks took some distance and signaled Oliver and the others to stop . Hektor then showed Oliver and the others a remote that had three buttons .

"You see here, this is the switch, that could make the missiles stop from launching . It is also the switch that could instantly launch them . Of course, I don’t plan to launch the missiles immediately . Do you know why?" Hektor asked them with a very creepy smile on his face . The members of the Mercenary Club didn’t respond as they all looked anxiously at the remote Hektor was holding . Even Oliver who was full of anger and had his bloodlust rising couldn’t act recklessly at the moment .

"I’m showing this remote to you guys, as well as giving you an hour to stop me . To give you guys some hope, and then as the ticking of the clock goes down that hope you have will become despair . The same despair I felt as I desperately tried to revive my sister! I will show you guys the sight of that despair and hopelessness, and once all of you break and have nothing left, I will kill all of you . Especially you, James, I will kill you slowly and painfully, HAHAHA!" Hektor started to once again laugh, while Oliver and the others, even Rachel who wasn’t fully healed yet were about to attack, but were interrupted by Hektor who continued talking .

"Oh right, I have no need for you guys anymore . Thanks for all of your hard work for the past years . As a parting gift, I’ll give you guys a swift death . " When the scientists and engineers heard what Hektor said, the knew what was coming next . They wanted to say something, they wanted to scream at Hektor but before they could do any of that, Hektor had already activated the bombs on their necks . A few seconds later, all of the scientist and engineers had their heads pop . The explosions weren’t strong to affect anything else aside from the people who had the bombs, but it still created a loud noise as their heads exploded .

When the Mercenary Club members saw Hektor massacre so many in an instant, all of them, except for Evangeline glared at Hektor with pure anger . Evangeline, on the other hand, started to puke . Even though she had witnessed killings before this was her first time to see so many people die .

Kei had been in the frontlines so the sight of all this death wasn’t new to him, but it still made him feel incredibly uncomfortable .

"Now let’s play our final game of despair!" Hektor said unperturbed by what he had done .

"DAMN YOU B*STARD!" Oliver shouted which sounded more like a roar, as he and the others started shooting at Hektor .
