Chapter 551 - WHAT A PAIR! (1/2)
In the Immortal Sword Valley, Raiden was barking out orders to his teammates. Each order was peppered with an insult to his teammates, but they did not complain. He was a god in Valiant Kings, and he was carrying them.
He was not supposed to play games using the computers installed for use for Immortal Sword Brigade business. However, he did not have a lot of helpers at the moment with tech work, so he spent his days and nights in the room.
When he had a chance, he would take a break and play a game before resuming his work.
”Die! Die! Die!” he shouted as his fingers moved at an astounding rate.
”As expected of the true Valiant King!” One teammate praised as the ugly monster on their screens fell.
”You are the undefeated king!” Another one praised.
Raiden felt complacent. He was quite happy as the cheap team members sang his praises. He allowed them to pick whatever they wanted. To him, the rewards were useless. He liked playing with the bare minimum equipment to prove his value.
”Should we play another round?” Someone asked.
Raiden was about to accept when he noticed a flashing red on one of the monitors from the corner of his eyes. He immediately shut down the game. With the high-performance computers, the process took the blink of an eye.
His teammates were left with question marks on their heads.
”No, no, no!” Raiden slid his chair to the monitor with the flashing red lights while removing his headphones.
As expected, the alert was on Watch. He was always monitoring for activity on Watch, and he had put a special alert for Akira. If something involving Akira came up, it would alert him immediately. He had almost missed the alert while playing.
His hands flew over the keyboard as he opened the Watch interface. He looked at the scene before him, and his heart almost left his chest. The image was of a hotel, and Akira and Kaito were at the forefront. Moreover, there were numerous hostages.
The camera turned from the restaurant and faced two people with guns. Their plain faces looked crazy and wild as if they did not have a care in the world. Those were the faces of people who did not have a reason to live.
”Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the criminal underworld around this beautiful world,” Bonnie said with a light wave of the gun.
”Honey, do not forget the government spies who will be joining us,” Clyde added.
”Indeed. We are Bonnie and Clyde, and tonight, we will give you a good show.” Bonnie added with the flair of a talk show host. ”The highlight of our show tonight is… drumroll please.”
Clyde shot his gun at the crystal chandelier that Bonnie had also shot a little earlier. The shattering sounds were like twinkling bells in the quiet restaurant. The people screamed in horror at the gesture and tried to scramble to safety.
