Chapter 552 - Death (1) (1/2)
While Kanae couldn't perceive what had happened in that short time frame, it was completely different from the other two. Neo saw clearly how Kevin suddenly pulled Rei from behind towards the cliff.
His face was stricken with horror at the realization of what his Boss planned to do. It was clear that he wanted to get away using the water, but there was a large problem. The sea was extremely violent and under the heavy downpour like this, there was no guarantee that they could return safely.
This plan was the same as suicide.
Unfortunately, both him and Mike were located far away from the cliff. They were closer to the forest because Mike charged at Megara and the men before him while Neo tried to avoid the bullets by moving around.
”BOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!” Neo yelled as hard as he could as despair enveloped his entire body.
No..
Not like this….
Hearing Neo's voice, Mike's gaze landed on Kevin. He followed suit in despair. ”BOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!”
The two of them yelled as hard as they could. The scream from the two of them defeated the sound of the heavy rain. Right now, they were extremely unwilling to accept this end.
”No! NO! You're an idiot!” Neo cursed out loudly. Even an idiot knew the chance to stay alive after falling from this cliff was near zero, so his heart was filled with both resentment and despair.
Would it mean that Kevin is going to die?
He was unable to see things clearly. He didn't know whether they got hit or not when they fell to the sea. If they got hit, wouldn't they die because of blood loss?
As his thought reached this point, tears started to well up on Neo's eyes. He banged his hand on the ground, feeling that he was extremely useless to be unable to stop them.
'If only I can move faster.'
”If only I could stop Megara before it reaches this point.'
While both Mike and Neo were feeling the biggest despair in their lives, Megara was the opposite. He was dumbfounded when he saw the two of them fell to the cliff. Soon afterwards, ecstasy boiled up from the bottom of his heart.
Finally!
Finally Kevin is dead!
He had waited for a long time for Kevin's death because it meant that the seat for the Clan Head would be empty. Ever since he knew that the chance to win the second gathering was extremely low, he has been paying more attention for other things, such as assassination attempt.
Countless times, he tried to assassinate Kevin only for them to end in failure. Many of the men that he sent were powerful, how could it be that Kevin still escaped unscathed? It seemed that he had clearly underestimated the protection around Kevin.
Many experts from Ryukalin Clan lurked around Kevin, protecting that young man from the shadow.
This made Megara green with envy.
He wanted to be the one at the center of attention! He wanted those protections and wealth for himself. Why would it land on Kevin just because he was born as the descendant of a clan head?
It was unfair!
Thus, Megara had to think of a different way to deal with Kevin. Ordinary assassination attempt would not work.
After numerous times planning, he came to the decision that the best choice would be this island. In this island, he would make sure that Kevin met his death with the preparation that he had.
The destruction of several buildings during the attack before allowed him to insert his people to make a pathway on the edge of the forest. It was hard to make the path, and the path was not perfect. He had to work his muscle to the limit to make sure that could reach this place. Some of the men's guns were also broken beyond repair on the journey.
