Chapter 78: They Must Die! (1/2)
Calvin's figure never exuded a trace of fear.
His remaining eye, which was his left eye also didn't radiate any hesitation nor terror. His sincerity couldn't be doubted and so, the Benevolent Father decided.
”All right... It seems that my darlings actually had the gall to lie to me! Even if they were jealous, that doesn't mean that they have the right to lie to me!” The Benevolent Father exclaimed.
His repeated pantings made him seem as if he was out of breath, but Calvin knew that this was just the Benevolent Father trying to suppress his anger.
Calvin nodded his head.
He then walked towards the Benevolent Father and when he passed through Arthur Chase.
He raised his arm and swiped at the Security Access Keycard hanging from his waist.
”You...” Arthur Chase angrily barked.
”Stop it!” The Benevolent Father yelled out, ”Let him be... Let him take that card to bring to those heretics! I don't want to see them in this sacred place anymore.” His voice made it obvious that it was impossible for anyone to change his mind, but Arthur Chase's expression suddenly changed.
Pulsating jet-black blood vessels appeared throughout his body as he trembled and struggled to contain his anger.
The Butcher furrowed what was left of his eyebrows and stared at Arthur Chase.
Calvin took several steps backwards and silently prepared a stance.
The situation suddenly became tense.
But Calvin was full of joy.
If this pattern continued, then he would be able to push Arthur Chase and the Butcher into the brink of madness to the extent that they would be willing to throw all pretenses and fight against the Benevolent Father.
The patients in this asylum may be powerful and strong, but they were easily manipulated.
Calvin maintained a serious look on his face as he observed Arthur Chase, but before Arthur Chase could explode in anger.
A voice rang out from the distance, followed by the appearance of a crumpled piece of paper.
”What...?”
Calvin softly uttered.
”Aarb!”
Hugo's voice reverberated throughout the hallways and an indescribable shockwave burst from the piece of paper.
The shockwave sent the Benevolent Father, the Butcher, and Arthur Chase flying back into the wall.
Bang!
Their sturdy figures directly collapsed the brick wall of the sickroom.
Meanwhile, Calvin felt himself being hoisted by a powerful force and when he turned to look closely at the person who picked him up. His eyes widened in shock for he realized that it was indeed Hugo who came here to rescue him.
”Hugo! Why are you here? Damn it, why did you not run with the others? I told you to run for your lives, yet you came back here and even brought Medea with you? Have you gone senile?!”
Calvin was angered by Hugo's display of camaraderie.
Medea scattered wooden chairs and all sorts of obstacles in the empty hallways so they could temporarily stop the advance of those three monsters. But Calvin knew that what she was doing was futile. This was the reason why he got mad at them for coming back to rescue him.
His plan was about to succeed, yet it was ruined by Hugo who came at the perfect time...
If he came a few minutes later, then my plan would've succeeded!
Calvin lamented.
But since the rice was already cooked, there was no turning back anymore.
The best that they could do was to run all the way to the Security Room and use the keycard to access the room and the computer that they could use to enable access to the main elevators.
”Don't talk anymore, Calvin... We can't possibly abandon you when we're this close to escaping.” Hugo replied.
Calvin glanced at Medea and discovered that she had the same look on her face.
”Fine...” Calvin didn't know what to say.
