Chapter 346: Going Down
Ryder left the room, unaware that there was someone who was coming to the floor he was at.
He moved over to the next room, which was to be the last room on this floor that he needed to search before it was going to be the time to go downstairs.
He opened the door and entered the room.
Just as Ryder entered the room and closed the door behind him, the door of the lift opened, and a man in a white robe stepped out of the lift.
The man started walking towards a certain room. He was sent to call Dixon, unaware of the fact that Dixon was already dead, and his dead body was lying on top of the bed.
Ryder was standing in front of the bed, where two people laid bare. None of the two was wearing any clothes. While the guy was lying on his stomach, exposing his bare b.u.t.tocks, the girl lay on her back, exposing everything for Ryder"s eyes.
Born of them had their eyes closed as they slept in peace.
Ryder raised his gun and aimed at the guy first.
He pressed the trigger of the gun. Without making much noise, the bullet left the gun and entered the head of the man. Without waiting for even a second, he s.h.i.+fted his gun to the side and aimed at the girl.
"Not bad," he complimented before he pressed the trigger, killing the woman. He turned back and left the room, leaving the two bare bodies behind.
As he stepped out of the room, the white-robed man entered the room of Dixon.
Ryder walked towards the stairs that happened to be right beside the stairs.
"Aaa! Murder!"
Ryder had just taken a few steps when he heard a scream. It seemed to be coming from Dixon"s room.
"f.u.c.k! Someone saw already!" Ryder cursed as he started running towards the room of Dixon. He was just a few steps away from the room when he saw a man dressed in white stepping out of the room. The man seemed like he was running towards the lift to get to his people.
Both of them saw each other. The man stopped in his tracks, not knowing what to do. He didn"t have a gun with him, but he did see the gun in Ryder"s hand.
"W-who are you?" He asked Ryder. "I"m warning you! Leave this place without creating any trouble. You are messing with the wrong people here!"
" Hah, You guys were the ones that decided to mess with me first," Ryder replied as he raised his gun.
Without taking a second to think, he fired the shot that killed the man. The man"s body dropped to the ground.
He held the hand of the man and dragged his body towards the lift and pressed the b.u.t.ton of the lift.
He saw the indicator that showed that the lift was coming from the fifth floor. He was alert to make sure that the enemies weren"t in the lift. He had prepared to kill anyone the moment the doors of the lift opened.
*Ting*
He breathed a sigh of relief before he placed the body of the man inside the lift, only leaving half his body to make sure that the door didn"t close.
If the door didn"t close, the lift wouldn"t go down, and in return, no one would be able to come up on the lift while he was on the stairs. He didn"t want something like this to happen again, where someone saw the dead bodies upstairs. If they came through the stairs where he was, he would be able to kill them, but if they came from the lift when he was on the stairs, he would be exposed.
The door of the lift started closing, but it hit the body and opened again.
Leaving the body and the lift behind, Ryder started walking towards the stairs.
He starts going downstairs.
While Ryder was carefully coming down to the most important floor of this whole endeavor, which was the fifth floor where all the bombs were kept, the two Kings waited for the bombs to be ready before they could leave.
The old man who was given the responsibility of handling the bombs and the operation related to them was called Senia.
He was walking back and forth, waiting for Dixon to come down.
"Just where are those people? They don"t have any value of time, do they? I sent him to call Dixon down, and now he has disappeared as well. Those idiots! The two kings are here. Can"t they be punctual a single day?" Senia muttered as he looked at his watch in frustration.
"After walking back and forth for a few more seconds, he turned back to look at the Two kings. The Thirteenth King was looking at him in frustration, whereas the Twelfth King was sitting with his hands folded. The Thirteenth King was looking impatient, whereas the Twelfth King was looking bored.
"Your Highness, I"ll go and see what"s taking them so long. I"ll be right back," The old man said to the kings before he left the room to go see for himself why two of them were taking so long.
" Looks like these people don"t know the value of being on time, just like a certain someone who is always late," The Twelfth King muttered as he smiled subtly.
"Do you think I don"t know who you"re talking about? Do I need to remind you that it was you who were late?" the Thirteenth King said in irritation.
" I wasn"t late. I was sharp on time; it was you who were early today," the Twelfth King replied.
"Just time that I"m never late. You guys are always early," the Thirteenth King said as he frowned.
Away from the two kings, the five followers were having a discussion of their own.
"I"m so bored. Can"t the day be over soon so we can see the fireworks?" The First of the five muttered.
" Things take time. Don"t worry. The end result should be worth it. If we"re lucky, we might even get to see that Mysterious Person appeared for whom we placed this deliberate trap," The Second Man replied.
" It"s good to be optimistic, but it"s just as important to keep your expectations in control. The chances of disappointment would be less that way. Just think about the fireworks. If the mysterious person appears, it would be like a bonus in that case, and if he doesn"t, it won"t be disappointing," the Fifth man chimed in.
