Chapter 547 - Chase 2

Chapter 547: Chase 2

Junhyuk went over to Elise’s lab. Guardians had discovered the identities of all of the experts, and they were in the process of tracing all of their movements from the past several months.

The inmates consisted mostly of members of anti-Guardians groups. They were filled with anti-establishment, anarchical ideals, and none of them kept a digital footprint, which was why Zaira and Ganesha had been unable to bring them up prior to the attack. Most belonged to the same anti-Guardian group, and the rest lived around the same region.

How did they get together? They weren’t saying much, so Guardians was tracing their spending and bank accounts. The anti-Guardian groups were all supplied with funds. Otherwise, living in hiding would not have been possible.

They were getting no clues from digging into their accounts. The accounts didn’t show any big deposits, which meant that they must’ve been paid in cash.

Junhyuk had a sketch and model made out of the people’s description. The person in the sketch was wearing sunglasses, so the features didn’t seem very accurate. However, they were able to approximate the description. He could see who had given the order through the sketch, but he didn’t have a name to go with it.

“I’ll have the sketch put on all Most Wanted lists.”

Elise nodded and replied, “I’ve already contacted the CIA and the FBI. I’m also building a minidrone to search for that person.”

“How is your power suppressor coming along?”

“It’ll have to be custom made.”

“Custom made?”

“It’ll use the same principle as my nullification field. The suppressor will detect power wavelengths and cancel them. It’ll require a lot of money to make one, and we’ll be only to install it at Guardians HQ.”

“We could build the prison inside HQ.”

None of them had teleportation powers like him, so there was no way for them to escape. That was a fact, and he knew it.

“I’ll create an automated system. Even if some escape, the security system will trigger. We’ll use live ammunition to deal with escapees.”

Junhyuk wasn’t worried about the prisoners. They didn’t have enough power to threaten Elise. She had a high defense stat, and their attack stat was rather low.

He trusted her to take care of everything. The sketch was distributed to all Most Wanted lists, and Junhyuk was ready to move to apprehend the culprit at a moment’s notice.

He hadn’t met Eltor this time around and he was bitter about that. The hydra had been able to sense dimensional attacks, so he thought Eltor probably could as well. For that reason, he had to polish his Dimensional Slash. It wouldn’t be easy to do. The heroes he knew couldn’t dodge his slash, so he had to find another way to upgrade it.

Junhyuk entered his training facility and contacted Gongon. He invited the hatchling over and handed the hydra’s heart to him. Gongon looked at the two pieces and gritted his teeth.

“They did experiments with dragons’ hearts and turned dragons into a hydra. I can’t forgive them.”

“The hydra could sense my Dimensional Slash, so the managers might be able to as well.”

“Yeah? Managers can control spacetime, so they are certainly not easy enemies.” Gongon added in a murmur, “I can’t let them be. I want revenge.”

Junhyuk nodded. Gongon was his ally in the fight now, and that made him feel much better.

“I’ll work on bettering the Dimensional Slash.”

“OK. I’m gonna research a dimensional trap. It won’t work on everyone, but it’ll work on the managers.”

“Do it.”

Gongon left, and Junhyuk trained alone. He trigger an evolution in his Dimensional Slash, so he trained hard. He had closed 150 tears, feeling the birth and decay that each tear created, and that experience would help him with the Dimensional Slash.”

Elise found a 75-percent match for the sketch. The person was involved with powered people, so she did not send the police. Instead, she sent iron soldiers to apprehend the suspect. When the five iron soldiers surrounded the suspect, the man pulled out an unexpected weapon.

A laser shot out of the pistol powered by a mana stone. It was the first prototype of the iron soldier weaponry Elise had developed. One iron soldier went down, but the others restrained the suspect.

They use the teleportation device to return to South Korea, making sure that the suspect didn’t commit suicide on the way. He was handed over to Elise, who locked the suspect in one of the cells in the basement and called Junhyuk.

Through his projection, Elise saw that he looked exhausted and asked, “Are you OK?”

“Did something happen?”

“I apprehended the suspect from the Most Wanted sketch.”

“Wait.”

Junhyuk appeared right in front of Elise. He looked exhausted.

“I have him in the basement.”

“Let’s go>”

Junhyuk took hold of Elise and teleported to the basement. The man didn’t have sunglasses on, and he was sitting on the floor.

Junhyuk stood in front of the man and said, “He has no powers.”

Could an ordinary man control experts like that? It was hard to believe.

Junhyuk grabbed a chair and sat down, asking, “Who do you take orders from?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Junhyuk grabbed the man’s shoulder and asked, “Do you know what I’m the most angry about?”

The man didn’t reply, and Junhyuk applied pressure to his shoulder.

Crack!

“Aaargh!” the man screamed from the pain.

Junhyuk stared into the man’s eyes and said, “Due to your actions, valuable powered people were killed. You killed them, and I won’t forgive that. Who gave you the order?”

The man’s bones shattered under Junhyuk’s grip, and Junhyuk placed a hand on the man’s other shoulder.

“If you don’t tell me who gave the orders, I’ll keep you away from Guardians. We are very capable of torture here, and there’s no way for anyone to find out.”

Craaack!

The man’s other shoulder shattered as well.

“Who gave the orders?”

The man screamed and shouted, “I don’t know anything!”

“Yeah? Let’s see if you are telling the truth.” He turned to Elise and said, “I’m taking him to the training facility.”

“Sure. I’ll erase all evidence that we ever had him.”

Junhyuk nodded and entered the training facility with the man. When they appeared, the man was stunned.

Junhyuk smiled at him and said, “We are in a different dimension. Your death won’t leave any traces on Earth.”

He unsheathed his swords and added, “I can peel the skin off your body without killing you. Wait, I’ll start with your face.”

One of his swords touched the man’s cheek, and the man dove to the ground, shouting, “I have a client! But, I don’t know anything!”

“Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Secrecy is a part of the contract.”

Junhyuk stared into the man’s eyes and said, “OK. Tell me about your client.”

“Wanda, a woman. I don’t know her last name. She handed me some money, and I gave the money to the anti-Guardians groups.”

“Wanda?”

The man nodded, so Junhyuk took the man out of the facility.

Elise stared at him, and he said, “A woman named Wanda supplied the money. We have to find her.”

“Wanda?!”

Elise seemed surprised, so he asked, “Do you know her?”

She looked at the man and asked, “Tall, gray eyes and a scar down her left ear?”

“How do you know?”

Elise frowned and turned to Junhyuk, saying, “We need to talk.”

Both of them went back to her lab, and Elise said carefully, “Wanda is employed by the Rockefeller family. She does the dirty work for Charles.”

“The Rockefeller family?”

“The chance of them being involved is not insignificant.”

Junhyuk’s eyes beamed, and he said, “Locate Wanda. I’ll apprehend her.”

“The iron soldiers can do it.”

“It might get messy that way. If I go, it’ll be quiet.”

Elise nodded and said, “Wait a moment.”

She used Zaira to connect to the satellites around Earth and locate Wanda. It took her only a minute to get the coordinates.

“That was quick.”

“I know. I’ve upgraded Zaira with magic engineering.”

Junhyuk looked at the woman on the monitor. She seemed well trained. He got her coordinates and said, “I’m using a teleportation device.”

Elise nodded and gave him a watch and a disk.

“These are?”

“That’s the J-02. It has a stealth mode that no radars on Earth can detect.”

Junhyuk took the disk. It was as wide as he was tall, but it floated next to him.

“It’ll help,” Elise said proudly.

“I’ll make good use of it.”

“Come back safe.”

Junhyuk used the teleportation device to appear in the south of the United States. He could see Wanda through the J-02.
