"Leon."
"I know, Lieutenant General Fantin and Captain Rodbat were in cahoots."
Leon answered before Jean could finish his sentence, his eyes following the black van ahead.
"Where's Seol? Is she okay?"
"I don't know yet. She looked like she blacked out."
At Leon's reply, Jean said, "I'll leave it to you."
"Okay," Leon briefly answered and Jean closed the screen.
The whole idea of Leon going off to do surveillance alone was fake.
He'd asked a trusted team member from another team to play that role, someone he'd worked with a few times before.
He kept Leon aside from the Alpha team because he was worried that there might be a traitor within the Alpha team.
Or,
'Rodbat and Pantin are in cahoots!'
Jean gritted his teeth.
It was now clear that Captain Rodbat and Lieutenant General Pantin were in cahoots.
It was then that Jean's eyes met the terrorist's. It was a brief moment, but the terrorist realized he was there.
Another half-second passed, and the terrorist began to flee through the crowd.
"Kosaka! Slay! Catch him!"
Jean yelled, and started running himself.
Alex bit her lip as she received a comm report on the situation. She checked her watch.
"The president will be arriving in twenty minutes. Should we change course?"
At her subordinate's question, Alex closed her eyes and opened them.
"No, we continue as we are."
"I see."
Alex said low to Minho.
"I'll wait another ten minutes."
"Thanks."
Minho replied and sent a communication to Jean.
"They gave us ten minutes."
"That's a lot of time!"
Jean swore under his breath and pushed through the crowd. There were so many people, it was hard to run.
"Kite, can you shoot?"
Kite said, looking at the crowd through the rifle.
"He's too close to the others."
"Shoot them when its secured."
"Yes."
Kite replied briefly, and with a snap, he pulled the barrel of the gun, unlocking it to fire at any moment.
Just then, an aircar flew low over their heads.
'I thought all aircars were off-limits?'
Then a rope came down from. the air car and the man grabbed it and went up into the air. He's planning to flee in an air car.
"Fire!"
Jean said, stifling what looked like laughter.
At Jean's cry, Kite pulled the trigger. The man's body fell limply to the ground.
People screamed and backed away from the corpse. A neuroblast would end the brain without trauma.
Jean inquired, over the din of voices calling for medical personnel, wondering who had suddenly collapsed.
"Kite, what about that aircar?"
"My rifle is for people, not huge objects. Besides, if that thing goes off in midair-"
"Seol, scan!" Jean shouted, then gritted his teeth as he realized Seol wasn't there, but heard another man's voice in his ear.
"This is Laine, P.G., Rotteligo. Scan results show that it is loaded with gunpowder."
"Gunpowder?" Jean was stunned.
Wasn't this something that had died over a hundred years ago? Was it from a museum?
It's a primitive weapon, but it's effective.
Kosaka grabbed the rope from the air car as it flew straight toward the church. Kosaka fires several shots at the engine underneath the car.
He pulled the device that maintains his personal shield from his waistband and stuck it to the floor of the car. Then he jumped off the rope.
Losing its engine, the Aircar didn't last long, powering up for an emergency landing.
"Slay!"
Kosaka shouted, and Slay fired his plasma gun. With a boom, the air car and the gunpowder inside exploded. But thanks to Kosaka's shield, the impact was contained to a small circle.
"Any other suspects?"
Jean asked impatiently, and Minho answered.
"Several humans have appeared. P.G.s, showed up at the cathedral. We're engaged."
Minho said as he swung his sword, blowing away the opponent's arm.
You can't shoot inside the Cathedral.
Moreover, with huge pillars like this, it was a good place to take cover. For close combat, the familiar sword was much more effective than a gun.
Kosaka said exuberantly.
"Say something like that beforehand!"
"It's okay, the P.G. is concentrated here, and you've been busy as well, haven't you?"
Drattt-!!!
Minho responded with a loud sound in the background.
"By the way, that thing they're wielding is a machine gun. I've only seen them in museums."
"There won't be any walls left for the cathedral." Alex said with a pale face.
"Good thing we decided to put an A.S.S. on it, huh?"
Kosaka exclaimed, ducking quickly behind a pillar to hide from whence he came.
"I only saw that on a video." (Referring to machine gun.) Slay said, reloading his neuro-paralyzing gun.
"That thing won't show up in scan, it's not a weapon these days." Minho said.
Slay groaned at that, and said, "Come on, let's get this over with."
“The president will arrive in eight minutes.” Alex said, looking at her watch.
“Let’s finish before then.” Kosaka grinned while saying that.
