TLN: Whoops, ain, Neito didn’t fall froe? They’re Sacrifices
Holding on with his left hand, Neito saw his executioner He was in a dire situation, but he didn’t show any sign of fear
[You knohat… you fired a Rocket Launcher at ht?]
[H here? Yeah, it was unfortunate how I didn’t get you then…]
Those shots were dangerous If I were hit by any one of those, I wouldn’t come out in one piece… But it’s Slipknot’sme
[But you hit the building behind me]
[Yeah, and I feel sorry for the owner of that building]
Slipknot was as always, speaking lightly In fact he ed
[It’s a newwith tanks on the battlefield… If fired consecutively, you could’ve destroyed that entire building… but you didn’t…]
[It’s a given I’uy after all I’m nice to people other than Crimson]
The fire power of that launcher had indeed been significantly reduced He wanted the da may be destroyed, but it wouldn’t cause a collapse
Why did Slipknot want to e?
Neito continued
[If the building cae The entire New York City would be in panic… You wanted to avoid that right?]
[So what? What are you trying to say? Can I just kill you now?]
Slipknot once again raised his gun
This was the perfect moment
Neito turned towards Niina and signaled so “Do it” Niina understood and moved
In the following seconds, a huge sound echoed
Neito knew that I ca few blocks from their location
(TLN: It’s the building Slipknot just hit with his rocket launcher a few chapters ago)
[Hahahaha…! You’re so half baked! If you’re gonna do it, do it properly!]
Slipknot was upset Neito was laughing fanatically over the sounds of explosion and the building crashi+ng
[Did you do that? Does that even hold a significance? Or maybe you’re just crazy…?]
[Significance? Hly stupid Hahahaha, you really don’t understand?!]
Neito laughed and ridiculed Slipknot Slipknot on the other hand gave him a cold stare
[We got a video of you shooting a rocket launcher earlier And now,it to the internet The title would be “Slipknot vs the Monster fro]
[So what…?]
Slipknot’s expression changed
[The article will go like “This night, Slipknot, in order to defeat the monster, uses a rocket launcher” People in Manhattan will view it that way “And tonight, buildings in Manhattan mysteriously collapsed It is presumed that the rocket launcher did this”]
Neito i, and they could take down more if necessary He told Slipknot the plain and harsh truth
[Nohen tomorrow coanization?]
They had real footage of Slipknot firing a rocket launcher If Slipknot decided to check, he would soon find it on the front pages of the internet]
[You’ll becoht alone, but what about your supply for weapons
? Intelligence? Are you confident that you can still operate the saanization, or ever Sonic Youth would forgive you? Will you still be able to keep fighting after turning the whole world against you? Your objective is to take out Criht? Will you be able to do it?]
These were facts Slipknot was only able to do what he wanted because of the approval of the citizens He may be extreme in his methods, but he knehere to draw the line There are a lot of things he can do despite if it’s illegal, just because he was called the “Dark Hero”
Slipknot is fully aware of it He fights differently from the other Rock’s members? That’s not true He is just smart He doesn’t create enee
He’s like a villain that doesn’t choose hisabout it, Slipknot and Neito’s core essence were the saed to the “other side” He tried to prevent casualties, he stopped hi a villain
[……]
Neito saw Slipknot gulping He was thinking hard
[Hey you… you’re really crazy… If that’s the case, you’re in no better position either]
It was also a fact There were a lot of e to trace Neito, as part of Cri, he would no doubt be disposed immediately There was no way Neito would be pardoned after causing so e
