Chapter 169: Imprisoned

Aldrich said those last feords without any hint of threat in the one

At face value, it see Soloenuine ones out there, but in reality, it was a jab at the fact that Soloolden hero who everyone looked up to, was anything but clean

Still, Aldrich did not want Solomon to know that Aldrich knew this That hy he kept his tone neutral He would keep the rank 1 hero guessing until it was too late, until Aldrich had Soloht in the palm of his hand, at which point Aldrich would close his fist and crush Soloe that Aldrich knew about Solomon, about Blackwater, about his criminal involve down on the golden hero soon enough

But noas not the right tihtest of aze But his usual sht afterwards so that the media could never capture him without It "Further delays will not be tolerated," said the two Guardians that came back to Aldrich's sides "Please proceed to the transport or face retaliatory force" "Ah, looks like my time is up here," said Aldrich "I'll keep you to your word, Solar Once I get out, I want to see you here, in Haven, so that we can work together You calledforward for you to prove that"

Aldrich looked over to the crowd and spoke up, over the din of the carrier above "Before I leave, I want you to reht Solomon Solar promised his assistance to uaranteed

Until I coh, keep yourselves safe Keep yourselves healthy I just sat down and got to know all of your naain"

Aldrich stepped away and let the Guardians escort hi him towards the open carrier "Remove all armor and armaments from your body" stated the Guardians "This armor is a part ofconfirmation scan," One of the Guardians pointed their mechanical hands at Aldrich, and the hand broke down into a cloud of grey particulates that then quickly reshaped into a cylindrical scanning ht strea over Aldrich "Physical scans show an irregular skeletal systeanic et the AC scan," said Aldrich "My powers are auto out of nored Aldrich and continued to scan Aldrich After a few seconds, it reported, "Scan unsuccessful Unable to deteret will cause physical distress

Thisor, at the very least, absolutely necessary to keep him alive

Aldrich saw as a sudden blue beam projected doards in a pillar that coht push down on every inch of his being The Guardians stepped aside, and as they did so, the weight bearing down on Aldrich suddenly co into the direct opposite sensation of coravity beah-tech piece of equipment located on new transport aircraft that allowed theround Norh levelleagues now Any force used against hih tech like this, the Guardians, S rank heroes, those were all free gaainst hi

Acompliment in that it confirmed Aldrich's power and potential influence

Awarning in that if Aldrich made a misstep, then all this force would rain down on Aldrich with no restrictions

So be it Aldrich had never been the type to take risk before This was the first time he had ever taken as much risk as he did, but he had to admit, he was not opposed to it

It made him anticipate just how ravity bea speed In just a quick second, he ithin the Null Box Beneath him, the hatch of the carrier slid shut, followed by the heavy ht after

With that, Aldrich was now in complete and utter isolation, locked inside abut darkness and an eerie dark purple blacklight glow
