Chapter 331 Face to Face

Chapter 331: Face to Face

He got to the door and tried opening it, but he found it to be locked.

"Hmph," Ryder muttered as he took a step back. He brought his gun out of his invention and fired at the lock.

Two bangs resounded in the air as two shots were fired. The lock was broken and the door opened on its own.

"Easy," Ryder smiled cheekily as he stepped on the stairs and started going down.

"Which floor?" Ryder asked as he kept going down.

"I don’t know what you’re looking for. There would be no one here!" the man cried out in pain. " I already told you everything. Let me leave now! I’ll die of excessive blood loss otherwise!"

"You’ll die when I tell you to die! For now, you’re going to do what I say," Ryder declared as he glared at the man and tightened his grip around his neck. "You realize that, don’t you?"

"I-i can’t breathe," the man muttered after some struggle.

"If you can speak, then you can breathe as well. Tell me which floor and which rooms were the bombs kept in and where you guys met," Ryder replied with a stern look on his face.

"T-third floor! Go to the third floor!" the guy said after struggling to speak.

"That’s like a good boy," Ryder let out as he smiled.

He went into the lift and tapped on the button of the third floor.

The doors of the lift didn’t close, and the loft didn’t move down.

"Oh, right. No power. I thought you guys arranged for power since you were doing something so important here," He let out as he looked at the guy.

He stepped out of the lift and went back to the stair.

" Looks like I’ll have to go down the steps myself. Sigh, Twelve floors to go down," Ryder muttered as he started going down.

After some time, he reached the third floor. He had the man show him every location and tell him what happened here and how.

While Ryder was looking at the third floor and getting to know the terrain for future reference, something else was happening at the roof.

The Pilot was sitting in the helicopter, checking things.

"I must say, this model is really nice. Way better than the one we use."

While the Pilot was looking ahead, he heard someone’s voice from the back.

He turned back, only to find five black-robed people sitting inside the helicopter.

"Who are you?!" the Pilot asked as he stood up.

"Sit down, old man," one of the five people said as he stood up and walked towards the pilot in slow steps.

"Hey, Don’t mess with him. He can take us back after we’re done here. It won’t take more than a few minutes anyway," another black-robed person chimed in.

"Oh, right. Old man, you’re lucky. Stay here. We’ll be right back," the men said as they stepped out of the helicopter. They didn’t forget to tie up the pilot so he couldn’t take the helicopter away.

"You had enough playing around?" the masked man was standing outside the helicopter. As soon as the five of them stepped out of the helicopter, the masked man chided them.

" Are we not going down?" the five asked the masked man.

"Nah. He’s downstairs, trying to do something. Let the little one play around a little. He’ll come here in the end anyway. I want to see the look on his face when he comes here. I want to see the sheer unfiltered emotions of the man. This Little Undying Hero, will he be scared or will he be brave," the masked man muttered as he walked to the edge of the roof and looked at the city from the top of the building.

He could see fires at some distance. The Fires that were caused by the blast were still not completely dead. The Fire Brigades were trying to get the fire under control. The Cop cars were extensively patrolling the city. Sirens could be heard everywhere.

"It is so beautiful. The chaos and the commotion. How beautiful would the world be if all the places in this world were like this," The Masked man muttered.

"If every place was like this and there was no peace everywhere, then it would’ve become boring pretty soon. It’s not the goals that are beautiful but the destination," A deep voice said.

"Ah, you’re here. How did you find me?" the Masked Man said without looking back.

"It was easy. I had my people track your number," the person who stood back said.

" Ah, Clever. This phone thing is really stupid. It helps us get to others and help others get to us," the masked man muttered as he sighed.

"Are you here to take the credit?" he inquired as he finally turned back. "Twelfth King."

"I don’t want any credits. It’s your mission. It was clear from the start. I’m just here for assistance. Also, I wish to see this Little Undying Hero as well," the Twelfth King replied as he smirked.

"I’m warning you. It’s my mission. I’ll handle it my way. If you interfere, I’ll forget that you’re on my team. Under l I’ve worked hard to find an interesting prey," the masked man said as he stepped forward and placed his hand on the Twelfth King’s shoulders.

The Twelfth King’s smile disappeared as the Thirteenth King touched him.

He moved the Twelfth King’s hand aside.

"I know you’re insecure and all, but if you ever touched me again, you’ll find your hand at the bottom of the ocean," the Twelfth King said as he stepped back.

He walked over to the give black-robed people who were standing near the helicopter, not moving at all.

The Twelfth King stopped before then.

"Will you move aside on your own, or should I move you myself?" the Twelfth King asked the five men.

The five guys realized that they were standing at the entrance of the helicopter. The Twelfth King probably wanted to sit inside more comfortably as he waited.

They hurriedly stepped aside without saying anything.

The Twelfth King stepped inside the helicopter and sat inside comfortably.

Ryder finished the search of the building. It was exactly as the person said. There was no one inside. As he finished seeing all the important places, he started walking back towards the stairs.

He climbed the stairs and again reached the top floor.

In a few seconds, he was standing in front of the roof door.

Ryder opened the door and stepped on the roof.
