The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 27: Escape

"Be quiet," Kayn raised his hand to warn Rowan to stop for the moment.

They have already arrived in front of the door of the underground warehouse.

At this point, Superhuman bodyguards are expected to be standing guard outside of the door, and one of the reasons why they still haven't gotten inside is definitely because of how strong the soundproofing of the underground warehouse is. Back then, he also didn't hear anything inside the underground warehouse because of that reason.

Well, why else would they not notice the commotion happening inside if it wasn't for that, right?

It could also be that their comrades were either eliminated in quick succession or busy focusing on dealing with Rowan Starlight that they didn't have time to consider calling for help. Or that maybe they were ordered not to do so as the only purpose of those Superhuman bodyguards outside is to literally just stand on guard and prevent anyone from approaching the Technological Building.

To put it simply, Kayn doesn't know the exact reason why and he doesn't have time to find out the reason. Even if he did, he won't waste his time on such a small and unimportant matter. Though if there is one thing he knows clearly, that is they are currently blocking their path to escape and he has no choice but to eliminate them if he wants to get out of this place.

Kayn turned to look at Rowan and said, "I forgot to tell you about this, but I don't actually plan on hiding the fact that I saved you,"

"Even if you try to, you can't, especially with Carlos recognizing you already," Rowan said as he let out a silent chuckle.

"Precisely! That's why after we leave, you will feign ignorance about the reason why I helped you to your brothers and sisters once they ask. Just tell them exactly what I told you before I was just coincidentally at the Technological Building. Leave the rest of the explanation to me,"

"If you think that will lessen your trouble, then I don't mind doing that,"

"But first, we will have to take care of all the Superhuman bodyguards outside,"

"Eh?! I thought you already took care of them!"

"If I really did, then Raul would have long already been informed of my arrival,"

"Then what do you plan on doing?"

"Can you kick the door open?"

"I think you are greatly underestimating me,"

Without any hesitation, Rowan Starlight exerted force onto his right leg before kicking it straight toward the door in front of them.

Booom!

In the next moment, the door blocking their way was instantly blasted open as it then came crashing toward the wall in front, creating some cracks onto its surface, evidently showing just how strong Rowan Starlight's kick actually was.

Meanwhile, the Superhuman bodyguards on both sides of the door were only able to see how it happened before they were suddenly pulled behind the cloud of dust. The next moment, Kayn and Rowan walked out both completely unharmed while the two Superhuman bodyguards are now lying unconscious behind them.

Although the two Superhuman bodyguards weren't able to radio in quick enough what just happened at their location, the other Superhuman bodyguards assigned at different locations around the Technological Building still noticed the disturbance. After all, the sound of the door being blasted open was really loud, especially considering the fact of how quiet the place was as there were hardly any people present to make any sound.

"So, you were planning on creating disturbance so that you won't have to look for them one by one?" Rowan finally understood the reason behind Kayn's action.

"Just partly," Kayn smiled excitedly.

"I think I know the other reason," Rowan felt a bit dismay at the recklessness of Kayn. He seriously thought before that Kayn was a careful person after seeing how he was able to sneak on top of Raul without the latter and his men noticing him. "I didn't expect that you were this kind of person,"

"Don't get me wrong, I just need to stretch my body," Kayn shook his head dismissively.

As someone who was so used to doing everything while having a tremendously powerful body, it's a bit weird and unfamiliar for him to do things in his current state, especially with this day only being the second day after his reincarnation. If he compared his current strength to the future him, he would label it as the difference between the Earth and the entire universe —unlimited and immense. And what else is the best way to quickly adapt to it other than fighting?

After saying that, Kayn immediately lunges forward toward the incoming Superhuman bodyguards.

"Don't leave me behind!" Rowan quickly followed after. Not that he also wants to stretch himself, he just wants to quickly leave this place and go to class as soon as possible. Needless to say, it's obviously not to study but to go to sleep so that he can take a rest after experiencing all the trouble caused by Raul and Carlos, and his goons. Moreover, he is already a Hero, so it's time for him to put into practice everything he has learned in their practical classes. As for when that is going to be? It would probably be soon.

…..

Kayn and Rowan Starlight talked about something for a bit after they finished dealing with everything in the Technological Building before eventually they bid farewell to each other and went separate ways.

As for what they were talking about, it was something that will greatly help Rowan Starlight in the future.

On the way to his classroom, Kayn can't help but reminiscence about how peaceful his life was when he was still going to school every day and only focusing on the practical classes taught by the Starlight Hero Academy instead of dealing with problems after problems related to the reclamation of areas where dungeon outbreaks took place and the subjugation of the floors inside the 'Tower'.

If he compares what happened to his life at this moment to the future, it's like the difference between night and day. Truthfully speaking, his future is going to be fought on the brink as it's going to be full of disastrous and unfortunate events. Nevertheless, he never regretted everything that he did, including saving those ungrateful bunch of people. That's because it was only by doing all of those that he was able to get whatever he wanted to have in life. It might not have given him a happy ending, though did he even wishes for that in the first place, but it sure did change his life.

Anyways, there is no doubt inside his mind anymore that life after the 'Tower' is gone from Earth is going to be a lot better.

Natas who was silent ever since they saved Rowan Starlight immediately noticed the look on Kayn's face and understood what he was thinking about inside his mind, "Are you perhaps thinking about how good life is if only the 'Tower' didn't come to Earth?"

"No, it's different," Kayn shook his head. "I have long already accepted the fact that we can never change the fate of the 'Tower' coming to Earth after you explained the reason why it arrived on our world in the first place. And I believe the majority of the people already accepted that as well. What I was thinking instead was how good the future will definitely look like once the 'Tower' is gone,"

"I can't tell you for certain about that yet, since I don't know what will happen once the 'Tower' is cleared. But what I can guarantee to you is that it will for sure save a lot of lives that could have been lost due to the danger brought by the existence of the 'Tower', not only on your planet but to the other planets across the endless universe as well," Natas comforted Kayn. But then he quickly added with a solemn look on his face, "However, at this point in time, you don't have any right to dream of that moment,"

"Indeed," Kayn accepted the reality without a second doubt. With his current state, let alone clearing all the floors of the 'Tower, he doesn't even know whether he could really defeat Nicholas or not. So, thinking about what will happen after the 'Tower' is gone is like dreaming of an impossible thing.

To tell the truth, it might have seemed like Nicholas was weaker than him because the latter used a lot of schemes in order to take him down. In the end, it wasn't even Nicholas that defeated him, instead, it was the Gods of the 'Tower'. In other words, it was still the 'Tower' that defeated him. But that's actually only the case with the future him.

There's no denying that the future him was the strongest Hero to ever exist on the entire Earth, or probably to ever exist throughout the thousands of years of existence of the 'Tower'. Not to sound narcissistic, but according to what Natas has described so far, he was the only person to ever reach that far into the 'Tower.

That was the main reason in the first place why Natas and the rest of the Gods has chosen him to become their savior and the destroyer of the 'Tower'.

However, despite being the strongest, he was still defeated by the 'Tower' in the end. Because of that, his plan has changed now and he doesn't want to walk on the same path as he previously walked. Rather, he plans to walk a path that will make him even stronger compared to the future him.

And it's exactly because of that reason why at this point in time he should not be dreaming of what will happen after the 'Tower' is gone from Earth. Because everything that will happen in the future is definitely not going to be the same as how it was in the first life or the second life.

Natas was easily able to see through what Kayn was planning on doing from now on, as always. Deep inside of him, he could only hope that it will work out. And at the same time, he is preparing himself to do whatever he could do to help him achieve his goals in the future. After all, he forced this responsibility on Kayn's shoulder, and he's already fortunate enough that he didn't take offense about it and start rebelling from day one, so the least he could do is do his part.
