Chapter 161: One Last Trick (2/2)

At the very last ed activate his Diareen crystals However, though these crystals had saved Hat Trick froetting knocked out

The crystals around Hat Trick's upper body were shattered, and his body was limp as his head fell to the side, completely severed from any motor control

Had Hat Trick been coht have put up a ht with Okeanos, but that would have entailed Hat Trick actually being careful and planning ahead, two things that Aldrich sincerely doubted Hat Trick did much of

"Now, I know you can't hearto quit being a hero and turn to villainy, no?" said Aldrich "How about I end that proins?"

"Should I kill?" Okeanos looked over to Aldrich with the eager eyes of a child looking for approval

Before Aldrich could respond, Seismic put a hand on his shoulder

'Don't think that's a good idea,' said Seis him I would too But Hat Trick is technically still an A rank hero until the AA formally disavows him Kill hiainst you ainst you'

'Parties that want to stand against ardless of what excuse they need,' said Aldrich 'I understand the risks, but another A rank unit to add is too good to pass up This guarantees that those powers of his won't be wasted like they have been up until now'

'That's also a valid decision,' said Seismic

'End him for me,' said Aldrich telepathically to Okeanos

Okeanos raised his fist again, locking another energy punch in, but at that very moment, Hat Trick's hat, still in his hand, spontaneously disintegrated into blue flecks

With that final trick, Hat Trick's whole body turned bright blue Into pure energy

Okeanos's antennae twitched in confusion as Hat Trick's body al away into the distance far, far away

"Hm," said Aldrich "A last resort safety I didn't think hih to have had one And it activates even when he's unconscious,a specific location to beam himself to, but has a pre-deterra the fact that he's unconscious, if you searched hard enough, youanytiuarantee I would find hi it would take either" He sighed "As much as I hate to have loose ends, this very well may be one of my first ones I have too much on hand to do here"

"You do?" said Seisine the variants are nearly all routed Dead or pushed back to the water by now There's no "

Aldrich confirht with the Grave Wards that still had a bird's eye view of the battlefield Fro was recently finished There were no more fishmen left on land

Seisht not have had any sense in how to really e, but when it ca, he truly was like a wild beast: it was like his entirewas just crafted for it

In that sense, Seisood a Aldrich fro his level up, but that was not too important He had plenty 's over," said Aldrich "But this is just the beginning I have to deal with the world now"

The fighting was just a prelude to the plans that Aldrich envisioned for hi hireatest risk he had ever done so to date

Aldrich put a hand to his ear, and Volantis activated his earpiece

"Fisk Spybird Just confir, but neither of you have heard any news about the AA or Panopticon sending forces here to question ht?" said Aldrich

"Nah, not yet, but I'll tell you right now that the streaa blew up towards the end Like, millions on millions of views level damn, if ere monetized, ould've made a decent buck," said Fisk

"Non hero sanctioned violent activity makes no money on stream, friend," said Spybird "But dah, as for your question, no news News, though, right now, is strangely quiet on you I would think with all you do here, all the views on that strea by now"

"Silence is an answer of its own," said Aldrich He knew that if there was nothing on the … "Get Casimir on the line now"
