Chapter 445 - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (2/2)

Somewhere in London, a middle-aged man was drinking old whiskey in a leisurely manner. He burst out in laughter as he watched the scene on the screen of a man getting launched into the air, his horrified screaming was like music. He could only imagine the pain the burning mask was causing.

The video on the screen was not of the greatest quality, but it did the job.

William Springer had been a little sceptical when his contact via that dark website promised him an exciting hunt. And he had become bored with the concept over the last few days. However, his faith in the other party was renewed.

He was realising the advantage of the hunt, especially when he watched it live. It excited him, even more than the professional and enhanced cuts his contact sent him after the incidents.

When he thought of the carnage before him happening somewhere in the same instance, he felt invigorated. The feed on Watch was better than any movie he could watch because he could see the suffering in real-time. Moreover, he knew it was real.

He would not be able to enjoy normal movies anymore.

When the hunt began, he was a little disappointed because that Yamazaki Akira was not an easy target. She had taken out a whole gang with only her fists. At the time, William felt it was a little too easy and said as much to his contact.

William could not deny the effectiveness of the technique.

The increasing fear in Akira's eyes was quite satisfying. Her expression was no longer arrogant as it had been two weeks ago. Plus, the swordsman had managed to spill her blood before he was betrayed by his apparent comrades.

That was the other thing.

William Springer did not only want to see Akira suffering. He was also enjoying the other aspects of the streamed hunt such as other people getting beaten up and dying or even getting betrayed. He no longer cared about who was suffering.

He just wanted the show to go on.

The best part about seeing the violence was knowing that everything was happening a quarter way across the world for his benefit. He felt like a god who could play with people's lives. He was like the producer of the greatest show on earth.

The feeling of power and control was intoxicating.

He could not wait to see what else his contact had in store for him. It was more exciting now that the opponents they sent after the girl matched her power. He looked forward to seeing the tricks she would come up with to escape from his hand.

Even though he could not wring her neck personally, he looked forward to seeing life flow out of her on-screen. He would replay it over and over and over again.

William Springer laughed to himself as he rewound the scene of Akira jumping over the road barrier and her vehicle blowing up. He knew in his heart that he no longer cared about that useless Harriet.
