"What the heck did you do?!" Kanaria shouted while holding her pistol as if she wanted to kill the person before her. However, several people were holding her, preventing her from doing such a thing.
Melody was also angry, but she had to stay by Jay's side. In the meantime, she kept trying to contact Clovis but never got connected. Melody's face became pale as though she thought this was the end of Clovis.
All of them could feel their anger. How could they not? Clovis had done everything he could to contribute to the raid. Without him, they might not even survive.
But Nek, the captain of the shield team, simply walked away as if he didn't care about it.
The commander hadn't gone back yet since he had to return by foot after saving Clovis. Still, unlike Clovis, who couldn't be reached by any means, the commander had informed them through the radio that he would return.
There was a sign of disappointment when he knew that Clovis didn't have any response. He had no choice but to believe in Clovis at that time. But he must have miscalculated the condition of his body. He was still heavily injured from the fight against Tier 3 beasts, so it wouldn't be weird if Clovis ended up succumbing to his wounds.
While the majority of the people were sad after hearing the news, some were happy. The happiest one was none other than Ivan. There was only one thought in his mind. Now that Clovis has died, no one will be able to stop him anymore.
Nek simply left them. No matter what he did, his reputation would be destroyed. But it didn't really matter. He got the money he needed. A hundred thousand union dollars for killing a mere Tier 1 human was a huge sum of money.
When Kanaria saw his car moving away, she was gritting her teeth. The people felt that she didn't react as much, so some tried to move away.@@@@
Her body was shaking. Now that she couldn't release her anger, the tears started to come out of the corner of her eyes.
Once people saw those tears, they couldn't help but let her go. Kanaria simply dropped to her knees.
"This..." They didn't know what to say at this point. Everything was simply unfortunate. Even though they managed to survive, they didn't feel that good.
Kanaria couldn't help but cry. All the memories she had with Clovis flashed through her mind.
"Kanaria."
Melody's voice soon echoed in Kanaria's ears as the latter raised her head, finding Melody carrying Jay on her shoulder. "Let's go to the hospital."
Melody was indirectly implying that we shouldn't be too weak, we still had one more person to take care of.
Kanaria clenched her fists tight, her nails almost pierced the skin of her palm. But a word still escaped her mouth.
"Yes."
...
In another city.
An old man was standing in front of a building. He looked thin and frail. Even passersby thought that he was harmless even though he suspiciously remained still in the middle of the night.
The building before him was a five-story building located in the middle of the city. While it was built no different than the buildings around it, its identity was a bit special. It was the branch of the assassin group that had been trying to kill Clovis this whole time, the Red Dagger.
The old man let out a long sigh.
"I have given you the warning, but it seems that you don't heed it." The old man placed his hand on the wall gently as if he didn't have any strength at all. He closed his eyes for a moment before muttering, "While I don't believe that my grandson will die so easily, you really need a punishment."
He opened his eyes and pressed his hands against the wall.
*Bam!*
In an instant, the building trembled as cracks appeared all over the building and showed a sign of crumbling.
