Chapter 386 Victory is mine (1/2)
When they saw the timer starting again, the shocked faces of the Mercenary Club made Hektor smile in glee, and he started laughing. This irritated Oliver as he pressed the muzzle of his gun onto Hektor's head.
”What did you do?!”
”Hahaha, that's super hilarious. When all of you felt relieved, and then it turns out you haven't done anything at all! The look on your faces was priceless! HAHAHAHA!” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”Shut the f*ck up! Tell us how we can stop these things!” Oliver punched Hektor as he was irritated at him laughing and mocking them.
”There's no way to stop the counter when it starts. The only reason it stopped for a moment, was because I made it that way, so I can fool you guys and watch your expressions when your relief turns to fear and anxiety. It was worth it, just to see those looks on your faces.” Hektor happily replied as the countdown continued to tick downward.
”I don't believe you! Tell me how to stop the launching of the missiles!”
Hektor sneered at Oliver before answering him, ”what kind of cartoon villain do you think I am? Do you think this is like those shows on television? I'm surprised Oliver, I can't believe all of you are so naive. Do you kids really think that I would create a kill switch? Why would I do that?”
”Then why did you keep on telling us that stuff about having a way to stop the missiles? Why did you act like the switch really meant something?” This time Kei who was unable to accept what Hektor said and questioned him.
”Of course I said that to make you believe, to give you hope. So that when you realize the truth, only despair would remain. These missiles were always meant to be launched no matter what happened. There was never a way to stop them, everything I did was a ruse. Something to keep the fire of hope within you, and when you learn the truth the ultimate despair would befall you.”
When Kei heard Hektor's answer he felt his knees shaking, and he fell down onto the floor. 'It's over, it's all over...' Those were the thoughts that kept repeating in Kei's mind.
”You're lying! There must be a way! If you don't tell us now, I'm going to kill you!” Oliver tried threatening Hektor, who only snickered at the threat.
”Sure, go ahead kill me, it doesn't matter anymore. I already won, HAHAHAHA! I already won, since the beginning, there was no chance for you to win! Don't you see, everything was pointless since the start. The only person who could potentially stop this plan is already dead, and you killed him.” The smiling Hektor looked at Alex.
When Alex saw Hektor looking at him, he was at first confused, but then he looked at the corpse of his grandfather. Hektor who saw that smiled even wider, ”Bingo! The only one who actually made a failsafe to stop my plan was the one person aside from myself that knew the full extent of my plan, and that's Richter. But now that Richter is dead, no one, not even I knows how to stop the missiles from launching.”
Alex gnashed his teeth, as he looked at Richter's dead body a bit frustrated. 'So even in death you're giving me problems, you really are a sh*tty grandfather.'
”So what now? I might be lying and actually know how to stop those missiles. Are you going to beg for forgiveness and see what happens? You never know, if you guys grovel on the ground, cry and weep as you beg for forgiveness, I might feel a bit bad and help you stop this madness.”
