Novel Full Chapter 124 - Im-possible...
Noticing this, the soldiers were stupefied. Likewise, Emma. He opened his mouth but he didn't know what to say. In a matter of seconds, the floor was empty, leaving only Emma and the thick stench of blood and the dead bodies, littering everywhere. With a dejected look, Emma sighed.
"I'm just getting started."
The four men on the top floor couldn't believe what just happened. Did they just bail on us? The four looked at each other. The furious elderly man didn't know what to feel. He had spent a lot of resources to acquire the gene optimization serum and a hefty sum to nurture these soldiers. They are the pride of his organization, but what just happened left him speechless.
It took them a couple of seconds before they recovered from the initial shock. What he feared the most had happened. And it happens in a hilarious manner. His eyes dimmed, his body shook while a lot of wrinkles appeared on his face. The elderly man with slow steps walked to his wine shelf and picked another bottle of wine.
He went back to his seat and sat dejectedly. He looked at the three men in front of him with a forced smile. "I believe this is the end of our branch in Vulture and the end for us." He sighed and opened the wine cork. He withdrew three cups from his drawer and poured them wine. "In our last moment, let's drink together. Not as a boss to employees but as brothers." His voice is full of melancholy.
The heaviness in the atmosphere could be cut with a knife. The three released a heavy sigh when they saw the face of their strong-witted boss. Though their boss sometimes behaves like nuts. He treated them well and they have worked for him for 10 years.
The three sat in front of their boss without uttering a word. The reality of what happened was still overwhelming. Their organization was going to be destroyed just like that. And it was destroyed by a young man in his early twenties. Another round of sighs echoed in the still room.
"Let's drink" He pushed the three cups toward them.
The three men nodded, picking the cup and down the wine in one swift motion. Gasped. The three were stupefied by the strongness of the wine. But they didn't complain. What did they have to worry about…. Nothing.
The four men continue to drink in solitude without uttering a word. After a couple of minutes, the elderly man stopped drinking and looked at his subordinate.
"I appreciate you for your hard work in recent years. But it saddens me that everything came abruptly to an end." He took a sip and continued. "However, I won't allow you to stay behind. I want you to try your luck, maybe you can escape from the clutches of these demons.."
"Please, don't say that. We live together and die together." The first man said with full seriousness. His name… Bora.
When the elderly man heard Bora's words, a satisfying smile appeared on his face. Out of the three, Bora was the most loyal. That's why he made him the head after him.
"Bora, listen to me. I know how you feel and this gladdens my heart. But I can't allow you to die when you have a slight chance of escaping. So heed my word. Go and escape. I know if you escape you will avenge me." He announced firmly while a bittersweet smile appeared on his face.
Bora wanted to retort but when he saw the firmness on his boss' face. He clenched his fist and nodded. 'You just wait. Let me escape, I swear to avenge you all.'
Sota and Myralies looked at each other but did not utter a word. They were born in Thango and had witnessed a lot. The rise and fall of an organization was nothing new to them. Why would they risk their life for a fallen organization? Never. However, the dejected look on their face didn't disappear.
The elderly man looked at Sota and Myralies and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes but disappeared immediately. "I know you two know what to do when you escape, right?"
Sota and Myralies nodded. Though they're not as loyal as Mora. The least they could do was avenge their boss's death. Seeing this, the elderly man drinks his remaining wine at once. "Off you go." He waves his hand, sending them off.
Mora didn't stand immediately, but Sota and Myralies were already on their feet before their boss completed his sentence. The two looked at their boss for the last time before matching out of the room with a large stride.
The elderly man did not care about the two, his eyes were only fixed on Mora. "Go, don't let my sacrifices be in vain."
Mora stood reluctantly, looking at his boss. He sighed and gave him a slight bow, before leaving, not looking back. Meanwhile, the boss' gaze followed Mora outside his office. And immediately he saw Mora gone, his melancholy expression turned into disdain.
"Sota and Myralies, you think I will sacrifice my life for your useless life. Naive. Alas…. Mora" He shook his head from the unnecessary thought.
He stood up with vigor and matched toward his wine shelf. He pressed a bottle and a low creak came out. At once, the shelf inside automatically slides to the left side, showing a security door.
Seeing this, the lost glow in his eyes appeared. Quickly, he input a 6 digit security code into the door. And a mechanical voice came from the door.
'Security Code accepted.'
Hearing this, a slight chuckle escaped from his mouth. His path of escape had been unlocked. He looked at his office for the last time before opening the security door.
"I will be back. Those assholes, wait for me. I will hunt you to the end of the world." He gnashed his teeth, opening the door. However, what accosted him made him stumble back.
"Im-possible!!!"
