Chapter 295 Storming Headquarters
Chapter 295 Storming Headquarters
Leon descended from the sky like a wraith and landed at the top of a skyscraper, immediately alerting a couple of men that were dressed in corporate suits. He had never meant to hide his entrance, so as soon as he landed, they spotted him.
"Who are you?" They asked and raised their rifles at once. What was notable about the rifle was the way that they pulsed with mana. The subtle glow was very clear in the darkness of night.
"You don't need to know." Leon muttered under his breath as he blurred forward, appearing behind the men and knocking them out before throwing them into his Domain. He looked around and hummed. "To think that such a notorious gang would have a corporate front where they make loads of money."
After admiring the depth of this organization a bit more, Leon proceeded to enter the building through the door that was at the top of the building. At first, he did not see any guards, but when he reached the top floor, he was surprised to see that it was entirely empty.
It was at the moment that he suddenly got an update from his three summons. All three of them had handled all the remaining hideouts, and would be reaching the skyscraper in a few moments.
Leon decided to wait a bit longer on his own before the three summons arrived beside him.
"I want you three to make sure no one leaves this building. Cripple them if you must, but don't kill them." He instructed them and they soon disappeared, choosing to start their rampage from the ground floor.
"Now, I'll just wait somewhere here for them to come up. Maybe it will be like one of those dramas where the top floor has a secret saferoom." Leon sat down leisurely in a large office that he guessed to belong to the CEO of the firm that owned this building.
Ten minutes passed, but no one came into the office. In fact, at this point, he could feel the vibrations of battle and knew that things had gotten intense.
"...Did I get it wrong?" He wondered to himself and got up, allowing his senses to sweep the entire floor. It was completely deserted.
"Ah, damnit!" Leon swore and quickly began to descend the building. Before long, he had reached the middle of the building and was pretty close to the fighting.
'Master! They are making a stand!' Kaladin alerted Leon.
"If they are making a stand, then that means that the boss is most likely not even here. Argh! Damnit all!" Leon growled and sped up. Soon, he arrived on the floor where the battle was ongoing. It was in the middle of a large hall that ate up a good portion of the floor. But it was in the center of the building, and was also supposed to be a saferoom. So, there were no windows, only solid concrete walls.
A swarm of men in suits were attacking Kaladin, Nero and Grokus from all angles. They were so immersed in the fight that they did not notice Leon entering the saferoom.
"So this is where you are?" Leon hummed from behind the crowd as he stepped into the room.
"Huh?" An ordinary man at the back spun around in shock, but before he could alert the others, Leon knocked him out with a single punch.
Whoosh!
The air trembled and the temperature plummeted as Leon's Domain spread open. The shadows of the people trembled and the three summons grew stronger under their master's influence. It was not as if the people were beating them in the first place, but now they exuded a terrible killing intent that made the air prickle anyone who stood against them.
"Huh?" The leader of the suited men was startled when he felt something grab hold of him. He looked down to see his own shadow sprouting a hand, and his foot sinking into his shadow. "Wh-what is this?!" He stuttered.
His subordinates also started panicking as they noticed what was going on. However, their panic did not stop Leon's faithful summons from sweeping over the opposition and dealing with everyone they could.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" The leader of the suited men suddenly burst into brilliant red flames. Because of the limitations of the world, the shadows grabbing onto his legs were burnt away.
"Who are you, then?" Leon paused, deciding to entertain the man.
"I am the brother of the head of the Black Fangs gang! Darius Black! Do you think you can oppose me?!" The man growled and held up his arms. His clothes began to rip apart as his muscles grew and swelled.
"Hmm, let's see, shall we?" Leon chuckled and withdrew his Domain. He had already captured all the people in the room.
Darius Black looked around apprehensively. He could tell that Leon was very strong, and with the way the other three men stood aside after Leon made his entrance, it was clear that they worked for him.
"You must be part of the White Ghosts, aren't you?" Darius asked, feeling his heart rate shoot up. If the White Ghosts had mobilized the strongest forces that they had to storm the Black Fangs' headquarters, then that would mean that they had the confidence to take it over. As his mind ran in overdrive, he suddenly came about a sudden conclusion.
"You must be the leader of the White Ghosts, yeah? I'll take you down and redeem our reputation!" Darius suddenly exploded with power. He leapt forward, causing the ground under his feet to break into pieces as it bore the mighty force of his power.
He cocked back his fist and let it fly when he came in the right range of close combat, turning his fists into blurs.
Whoosh!
The air was split apart by the rapid blows, but Leon calmly dodged every strike.
"Hmm, you're not too bad. I might just take you for myself." Leon grinned as he prepared to fight back.
