The Demon’s Menu

That’s why all these arrangements have been made.

Otherwise, it simply can’t be explained.

Is this a test?

Edmund thought to himself, his gaze instantly returning to normal.

"In the underground base of Ang City, I discovered Lawrence’s ’backup plan’!"

"At this moment, I can’t specifically assess its danger level, but based on the ’anomalies’ encountered at the current stage, the potential risk should be extremely high!"

"The ’Masked Man’ is helping us fight that ’anomaly’."

Edmund reported truthfully.

"Understood."

"Please hold on."

Wayne finished and ended the call.

Edmund, on the other hand, picked up the communicator again, this time not for Esther, but for Pasi.

"Pasi, how is the situation?"

Edmund inquired.

"We’ve all entered the underground shelter, everything is good."

Pasi responded.

"Hmm, that’s good."

"Don’t worry, everything will pass."

"We’ll all gather at the dining table again, tell Danfoss for me that I’m looking forward to her cooking."

Edmund instructed Pasi, sounding just like his usual caring self.

With no additional words, he then disconnected the communicator.

Hopefully Pasi could make it in time!

Edmund silently hoped, placing the communicator at his waist, and then nodded to Clark and Lites, who were carrying a large amount of heavy and special weapons, ammunition, and two support mobile teams.

"This time we will definitely take down that big lizard."

Lites said fiercely.

He had learned through the communicator what had happened underground.

Although his people hadn’t died in the real sense of the word, the thrill had left this vice-captain feeling unsettled.

As for the giant lizard that had almost cost him his men, Lister felt no affection.

"Hmm."

Edmund did not deny.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Clark silently led the way without saying a word.

The group quickly entered the emergency passage and headed underground.

Meanwhile, Pasi, who ended the call and held the communicator, looked solemn.

Before the ’war’ broke out, Edmund had made a promise with her that if something happened, he would contact her and remind her with caring words.

So, the true answer was in the words he had just spoken.

He mentioned Danfoss, but Danfoss was right beside me.

Therefore, it couldn’t be Danfoss herself,

Cooking skills?

The people who had tasted Danfoss’s cooking?

Jason hadn’t.

The rest had, but Edmund said ’us’, meaning he was present at the time.

At that moment...

Aras was not there!

Is Aras in danger?!

Pasi rapidly deduced the meaning Edmund intended to convey.

Without hesitation, she immediately went to a member of ’Hydra’ nearby.

"Miss Pasi."

The ’Hydra’ member responded respectfully.

Pasi, including the child Stark in her belly, had long been regarded as one of their own by ’Hydra’.

Moreover, he was poised high up in the hierarchy.

"Aras is in danger!"

"You must warn her!"

"It must be a targeted trap!"

Pasi said.

"Understood!"

’Hydra’ members nodded and turned to start reporting up the chain.

The message passed through the ranks and quickly reached Aras, who was in the midst of battle.

At that moment, Aras had just smashed to pieces a ’freak’ composed of rocks with a punch.

"Danger?"

Aras paused, not because of the message.

But because in front of her, a team appeared.

This was a fully armed squad with their faces covered, six in total, but their aura was incredibly strong; they immediately surrounded Aras from all sides as soon as they appeared.

"Miss Aras, we mean no harm,"

"We just want to ask you some..."

Bang!

The noise was like that of a shotgun firing.

It was the sound of Aras swinging her fists.

She didn’t trust them.

Just like Jason had said: In the face of the enemy, strike first!

The rolling air currents hit the people in front of her, cutting off their words abruptly.

But what was truly terrifying was the punch of Aras.

That punch, which brought up layers of phantoms because of its swiftness.

It should have been six people surrounding Aras, but under the barrage of punches, it was as if they were the ones surrounded by Aras instead.

"Automatic rifle. Burst fire!"

"Euler Euler Euler Euler!"

Aras shouted, her fists getting faster and her strength growing with each shout.

Far away on a rooftop, a sniper finished his final adjustment.

He prepared to aim at Aras.

Before they took action, they had made many plans and assigned tasks to each other.

And him?

He was the one to ’rectify mistakes’.

He didn’t instantly twist his scope or even look at the target.

Breathe, breathe.

As an excellent sniper, he adjusted himself.

Then—

Click.

The sound of a neck being snapped echoed.

"Really now."

"I hate you types who hide on the sidelines and stab in the back."

"I’m supposed to be the hero saving the city, how could I be stabbed by a dagger from the shadows?"

"This interferes with my gaming."

Rexus muttered under his breath.

Then, he looked up to another location.

The white-haired Scott was signaling from a second sniper spot nearby, indicating that all was well. Continue reading at empire

When the two met at the bottom of the building, Kuya, who had taken out the third sniper spot, still wore a clear expression of anger on his face.

"What’s ’Sanctuary’ doing?"

"It’s bad enough there’s no reinforcement, but why attack one of their own?"

Indignantly, Kuya spoke.

"It’s not ’Sanctuary’ acting up, but rather certain people from ’Sanctuary’!"
