Chapter 77 The Prelude

When you've had a hard day and you're ready to treat yourself to a hearty dinner, someone suddenly shows up and flips your table over.

what would you do?

1. Smile as if nothing happened.

2. Get angry and have a hard time with the other party.

3. Seriously review and apologize to the other party.

Some people will choose 1, they can call it big-hearted.

Some people will choose 2, this is from the heart and temperament.

As for option 3?

hmmmm...

One kind of rice, one hundred kinds of people.

The world's great wonders.

People are more diverse.

There are both upright and arrogant, and there are flattering villains.

There are both iron bones and broken spines.

There are many, many people who cannot be described clearly in words.

Because people are fickle.

Will change according to the environment.

will change because of someone.

Jason is no exception.

But there is one thing that Jason will not change.

Whoever touched his food, he would never let go.

Do not!

This is no longer just a meal.

Instead, he tore up his long-term meal ticket!

Unforgivable!

The last moment, with the slightest anticipation for dinner, Jason, who was full of joy, looked at the 'food and wine pavilion' that was swallowed up by the flames in front of him, the corners of his eyes jumped, and a smear of blood appeared in those eyes.

The most primitive rage, like the flames in front of him, burned his heart.

Jason wants to do something right now!

That is to tear up the person who blew up the 'food and wine kiosk'.

In fact, it's not just Jason who thinks this way.

Delbon too!

Delbon, who pretended to be staggering and couldn't wait to rush into the 'food and wine kiosk', was already full of fantasies about delicious food.

But the result?

The meal was not eaten, but in the explosion, it was directly knocked away by the shock wave brought by the explosion more than ten meters away.

If it weren't for the protection of several 'force field shields', Delbon would have been shattered at this time.

But even so, Delbon is embarrassed.

Not to mention the ragged clothes, still under the fall, Delbon's handsome face became bruised.

Especially the corners of the mouth and eyes.

The corner of his mouth was ripped open, and blood was dripping.

The bruised eyes are like two peaches.

The pain came from all over the body, making Delbon unable to help grinning, but his bruised eyes kept staring at the 'food and wine pavilion' that was on fire.

Dinner, gone!

Do not!

Yes, the 'food and wine kiosk' is gone!

Delbon dined at the Food and Wine Pavilion.

But it was because he had eaten that he knew how delicious the food at the Food and Wine Pavilion was.

Now the 'food and wine pavilion' is swallowed up by the flames, with the explosion just now, the people inside cannot survive.

To put it simply, even if the 'food and wine kiosk' is rebuilt, without the chef, is it still a 'food and wine kiosk'?

"Who?"

"who is it?"

Thinking that he would never be able to eat the food from the Food and Wine Pavilion in the future, Delbon roared and looked around with bruised eyes.

He is looking for the murderer.

The three people around John, Kemi, and Terry are also looking for the murderer.

But the pulsator does not.

Facing the destruction of his only industry, the Food and Wine Pavilion, the young man still kept a smile, a faint one, but in the eyes of this young man, it was cold and sharp.

For the 'food and wine pavilion', Polun really doesn't have too many feelings.

How much affection can you expect from someone who has only been in touch with the Food and Wine Pavilion for a few days?

That's not realistic.

But the reality is that buying the 'food and wine kiosk' cost a huge amount of money.

After spending this kind of money, the pulsator has also become stretched.

More importantly, the money was obtained by giving up his status as the heir to the Porun family.

He has nowhere to go.

In this young man's idea, he will use the "Food and Wine Pavilion" as a link to get closer to Jason, and at the same time use the "Food and Wine Pavilion" to dig out the first pot of gold.

Of course, the Food and Wine Pavilion will also be where he and Emily stay for a long time to come.

But now?

Gone!

The 'bond' with Lord Jason was severed.

The plan for the first pot of gold was sabotaged.

Even the foothold was destroyed.

Crunch, crunch.

In the sound of the tooth root rubbing, the pulsator's eyes are getting colder and colder

Emily grabbed the pulsator.

It was the first time she saw the pulsator like this.

"The pulsator?"

Emily asked worriedly.

Waver shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

It's really okay.

Although the plan was interrupted, he felt angry, but he was not overwhelmed by the anger. On the contrary, the more this time, the calmer the wave.

And under such calmness, Poron quickly understood the situation in front of him.

"Everyone, leave now!"

Porcupine said so.

leave?

Delbon was stunned in anger.

But he recovered immediately.

Blowing up the 'food and wine kiosk' is definitely not the murderer's purpose.

The other party is...for 'Jason'!

Someone wants to take action on Jason who is the 'Ship Slayer'!

And to deal with a 'Ship Slayer', just such an explosion is not enough.

John let go of Daisy's rope with one hand and pulled out the gun with the other.

Brian grabbed Kemi's palm, and the other hand drew a micro-punch from under the jacket.

McCall pushed Teri into the car with a remote control in his hand.

The next moment, two drones took off.

For dangerous coping, no one is more abundant than three people.

They arm themselves while protecting the safety of their loved ones, and then choose to evacuate.

They will never go away in a rush.

Because that would only make them a target.

Under normal circumstances, this is sufficient.

But this time-

Woo! Woo! Woo!

A special harsh sound suddenly sounded high in the sky.

The expressions of the three John who heard this voice changed.

When they raised their heads, they saw that under the night sky, three dark figures emerged from the clouds, and several cone-shaped objects visible to the naked eye were thrown down.

"Air strike!"

"Run!"

Brian shouted loudly.

The middle-aged father threw away the Wei Chong in his hand, carried his daughter and ran into the distance.

bomber!

Or a heavy bomber!

The bomb inside is naturally heavyweight!

One bomb, enough to flatten a football field!

Damn it!

Sweat appeared on the father's forehead.

He never thought that those bastards would use bombers to deal with Jason in a frenzy.

Similarly, John and McCall did not think of it.

"You go drive!"

McCall shouted at Teri without looking back.

He took control of two drones into the sky.

He wants to buy time for everyone.

McCall's eyes widened, even though the sweat was flowing, he didn't blink at all, he stared at the night sky, and his hands moved quickly and steadily.

Two drones, one after the other, flew towards the falling black spot.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed.

Delbon, who jumped into the car, looked up at the sky.

Of course he knew what McCall was going to do.

Therefore, at this time, he silently prayed.

"Hit!"

"Be sure to hit!"

Such a bomb, once it hits the ground.

Apart from death, Delbon can't think of anything else.

Therefore, only by detonating in the air can everyone survive.

Not only Delbon, but the people in the car are praying silently like this.

But at any time, the development of things will not change according to the will of the people.

boom! boom!

in the sound of gunfire.

Two drones were directly destroyed.

Looking at the broken drone, Delbon's face turned white.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The awareness of survival made him shout instinctively.

"Jason!"

"Jason is not in the car!"

Terry, who was driving, shouted anxiously.

Everyone was stunned.

What just happened was so sudden that they didn't even notice that Jason wasn't in the car.

"Could it be in that other car..."

Delbon replied subconsciously.

But before the words were finished, Delbon's voice stopped abruptly.

He saw Jason.

Not just Delbon.

The rest of the people also saw Jason.

Still standing in front of the 'food and wine pavilion', the footsteps have not moved, the only change is to look up at the falling bombs.

What is he going to do?

Delbon raised such doubts in his heart.

Then, just as he was still thinking, he saw Jason raise his right hand.

call!

A ray of flame was born from the palm of the hand, condensed into a group, and quickly grew larger.

In a breath, the fireball changed from the size of a fist to the size of a basketball.

Then, it flew out with Jason's arm slamming.

Woo!

The fireball traveled against the sky, hitting the falling heavy bombs straight.

Delbon immediately prayed again.

"Hit!"

"I'll definitely hit it this time!"

The sound of prayers echoed in the carriage, and everyone's heart was clenched again.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the fireball that was getting closer and closer to those heavy bombs suddenly went out!

Very suddenly!

The last moment was obviously still burning vigorously!

This moment is like the flame of a candle in a gust of wind, and it goes out with a puff!

"Someone arranged a ceremony!"

Delbon said with an ugly face.

Being able to arrange a 'ceremony' naturally means that a 'mysterious side person' has joined it.

And that's definitely not good news.

That 'traitor' also attracted the 'mysterious side person'?

Moreover, since the 'ceremony' for Jason has been arranged, it is absolutely impossible for it to be aimed at the flame only, and there must be other aspects.

McCall's face in the same car also became extremely ugly at this time.

Then, the detective thought of something.

"Terry, start the car."

Terry, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned the key immediately after hearing this, but the car, which was fine before, couldn't start. .

"The car is passive?"

Delbon asked.

"Um."

"Terry, stay in the car."

McCall nodded, said something to Teri, and jumped out of the car.

Sitting down is not McCall's style.

Now that someone has laid out.

Then, he will break.

After raising his head and looking at Brian, who jumped out of the car together, the two quickly disappeared into the night.

Although they did not see John, they believed that John had acted.

This kind of trust comes only from partners who fight side by side.

Just like they trusted Jason.

In front of the burning 'food and wine pavilion', Jason raised his hands, and after the two fireballs quickly formed, they were thrown out.

A fireball was stopped by a 'ritual'?

That's two!

Not two?

That's four!

Jason, who has such a very simple concept, seems to have turned into a turret at this time. Fireballs are thrown one by one, and the dense fireballs are like a group of firebirds flying in the night sky.

They appear in groups and disappear in groups.

In Delbon's field of vision, one fireball after another went out.

But more fireballs swarmed.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

When the first fireball didn't go out silently, but seemed to hit an invisible curtain, Delbon's face became more joyful.

This unknown 'ceremony' has reached its limit!

Watching the fireballs turn into bright sparks in the impact, Delbon prayed again without hesitation.

"Hit!"

"It's definitely going to be fine this time!"

"It must be..."

Snapped!

Delbon, who was slapped in the face by Teri, stopped speaking abruptly.

The member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' looked at Teri in confusion.

"To shut up!"

"You crow mouth!"

Teri scolded Delbon angrily.

"It was just an accident!"

"This time it must be..."

Delbon's word 'to' has not yet been exported, and the field has changed again.

A man wearing a cloak and covering his face suddenly appeared on the field.

Neither Delbon nor Terry could see clearly how the other party appeared.

But there is one thing, the opponent who walked towards Jason with a sharp blade is absolutely ill-intentioned.

Seeing this scene, Teri stared at Delbon angrily.

Pop, pop!

After Delbon slapped his mouth for a few counts, he opened the car door and jumped down.

It was him and Teri in the car now.

As a man, does he want Terry to block him?

If Terry can really stop it, he doesn't really mind, but the problem is, Terry can't stop it.

John, Brian, McCall were not there.

It's up to him now!

He, the official member of the 'Clock Tower'.

He, a full member of the 'Ground Reconnaissance Bureau'.

At this critical moment, His Excellency Jason the Ship Cutter will help the raging tide!

"oops!"

thump!

Delbon, who jumped out of the car in a rather dashing posture, did not notice the stones on the ground at all, stepped on it with the soles of his feet, and fell to the ground.

In the process, it's not that he doesn't want to adjust his posture and regain his balance.

However, the residual pain from the explosion just now made him unable to do this at all. He could only fall to the ground upright or face the ground.

"waste!"

Teri snorted, took out the pistol hidden under the driver's seat, and pulled the trigger directly at the sudden intruder.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets of the pistol fired again and again.

But it didn't work.

The cloaked intruder only swayed slightly before avoiding Teri's shot.

Teri's marksmanship is very general.

Maybe it's better than ordinary people who don't use firearms, but facing such an opponent, it's not enough to watch.

But Teri didn't give up until after the magazine was finished, the girl opened the door and jumped out of the car, rushing up with a dump stick in her hand.

"Ah."

"ridiculous."

A low, mocking voice sounded.

At the same time, a slender sword appeared in the opponent's hand.

The opponent stabbed the rushing Terry with a sword.

His purpose is to kill Jason the Ship Slayer.

If someone organizes it, it is natural to kill them together.

Therefore, this sword is fast and ruthless.

But, not stabbed.

The rapier grazes Terry's neck.

"Um?"

The intruder groaned in confusion, and then, the eyes hidden under the hood, looked behind Terry.

"As a man, is it too much to shoot at a lady?"

With a blue nose and a swollen face, Delbon, who was still lying with a nosebleed, pulled Teri behind him as he spoke.

"After the 'Ship Slayer' was targeted, do you think you alone can stop me?"

The intruder sneered.

"one person?"

"how come."

"We are two."

Delbon said in his mouth, pointing behind the intruder.

"Hmph, you thought I would believe what you said"

puff!
