Chapter 53
Will still go down that path?
Confirot a clear picture of Mark Gordon dressed as Slipknot, He threw the body into the Hudson River
He undid his transformation and opened a communication line
[Niina, are you in the submarine now? I’ve thrown Mark Gordon’s body in the river Recover it iet to put the corpse on a preservation capsule]
< ‘derstood=”” senpai=”” but,=”” as=”” expected=”” of=”” you=”” senpai=”” i=”” was=”” shocked=”” when=”” i=”” saw=”” that=”” scene=”” no=”” matter=”” how=”” you=”” looked=”” at=”” it,=”” you=”” were=”” the=”” bona=”” fide=”” devil=””>
Niina quickly responded to his orders There was still a purpose to be served for Mark’s dead body They needed to freeze it before it starts deco quickly and recovering the body
[I see, so that’s what you’re planning]
Slipknot, as in Sonic Youth’s arhtly of their procedure
[Yeah, that’s how it is If you’re done, get et captured by Crimson now]
[Are you kidding me? You already told me the weak-spots of Crimson’s entrapment There’s no way they can catch me]
Neito already tasked hishappened But with his inforh easily
[Well, off I go then Bye-]
Activating the Sonic Rollers, he began his escape He can’t do fancy ht line should pose no problems
After seeing that Slipknot left, Neito once again opened a line to communicate
[Sonic Youth escaped… Sorry, but I can’t go after him with the injuries I sustained from the battle with Slipknot We already have him surrounded, capture him at all cost!]
With that order, every subordinate under hi
He already kneould happen They can never catch “Sonic Youth”Slipknot was already aware of the route where security was its weakest And it was Slipknot inside that “Sonic Youth”, if anybody got in his way, they’ll surely be killed
[… It’s my win…]
He ju a successful escape
“The foreigner from Metallica, Koing his life in the battle between the top two heroes of the Rocks Organization, Slipknot and Sonic Youth, hefor his life With confusion, the ree, let him escape with no effort”
No doubt that’s what the media (or the people) would write about in the future
With the help of Niina, he ed to escape safely into allied territory After that, he was rushed to the hospital to receive treatment and went home It was a critical h, he wasn’t added in the plan to capture “Sonic Youth”
Returning to his penthouse, he waited for news on the entrap will be settled
He sat down on his sofa, folded his arms and stared blankly into space
The rain was pouring outside, beating against his s
An hour passed until he got a report
There was no need to know the contents of the ot away” even beforehand
No probleood At thistowards Mr Big’s location
He couldn’t bring himself to sleep And he wasn’t in theon the sofa, staring blankly i
nto space
Time passed and he still couldn’t sleep His body was beaten all over, but he wasn’t in the o and sleep on his bed
That moment,
He received a call It wasn’t just a regular call It was connected to his direct line, a line only a single person had access to
[… It’s here huh?]
There was nobody else who had access to this line except Slipknot
Neito picked up and answered the call
[… Yes?]
No doubt he was there to report on the coht, but the caller wasn’t him
[Hey there Nate! It has been a long time!]
[… ! Mr… Big!?]
His caller was the founder of Crimson and Anice’s father The person he wanted killed It was really a long time since they spokeThe last ti visited him after the battle with Slipknot
Neito reminisced that past
[I’ to have to come with me]
Neito started his plans when Mr Big visited him the second time
He had already prepared beforehand That night after the battle, He got in contact with Slipknot Slipknot’s objective was the top brass and Mr Big of Crireement to be made between them
{Hey Slipknot, you’re having a hard tiht?}
Mr Big always prepared hi distance The reason why Slipknot kept killing Criet infor sets up his own preventive measures
{I’ll help you assassinate hi is done}
Mr Big didn’t leave anything to chance He ht know that Neito wanted to take over the coht be a modified human, but he risked too much if he killed hi after him
{These areand let hi with Sonic Youth and find the right moment to kill himOf course you’ll act first, after I confir too}
Putting it si to have the whole Crianization after his head If Neito did it, it would be as Mr Big predicted He’ll die like a bug being squashed
Then the solution was simple Frame it someone other than yourself
{You won’t have any demerits from this, nor do I have any reason to lie to you You know that yourself}
Their objectives aligned so they decided to work together
As He heard on the news that Slipknot started working together with Sonic Youth, Heon his next visit
He removed the botherso to the Top Brass alith Mr Big) It was his own fault for visiting him without any escorts
“You’re co asked him a few questions
[What if… I said “No”?]
[… Then I’ll be using force, if it comes to it]
Both of the silently on the hospital’s corridors It was like they were plotting so mischievous
{I see Then you are saying that you have found a way to dispose ofan enemy of Criht?}
{Yes… this isn’t like you to be caught off guard Mr Big}
To Mr Big, he thought Neito was in no condition to fight and bring hi skill, he determined otherwise
{Caught off guard? No, if you were such a capable person, there’s nothing I can do about it That’s all there is}
{… What do youback?}
Mr Big ht
{No, I told you before, I’ve done sos inlike this to happenIf there was so me down, it’s for the best that you are the one to do it}
Neito didn’t understand him
{Why? Then are you saying that you already anticipated that I would do so like this?]
{If you go down the current path you are on, you’ll understand soon enough No, I hope that day never comes for you}
And like that, Mr Big was kidnapped by Neito
That Mr Big was now about to be executed by Slipknot in his safe house That someone, had made a call to him
Neito faltered at this unexpected call
Mr Big was talking light-heartedly as he usually does
[Yes, I’vea favor from himYes, I found out who he is… It turns out he was so I can do if he killsto listen to un at me]
Mr Big was about to die There was nothing that could prevent this Neito was mystified because there was no trace of fear in his voiceHis voice was philosophical in his last moments
[Nate, I have to say my thanks to you The safe house you prepared for ood I’m thankful for your hospitality]
Giving out his thanks in his current situation, no nor Neito’s hands that held the co
[… Are you not afraid of dying?]
He unconsciously asked hiht to listen to his answer
[Not at all I aainst you But… letevil, you see?]
Hearing Mr Big’s shaky voice, he didn’t contemplate his decision to kill hi was needed to happen
