The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 220: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 23

"Stay right there, Wesley!" Jericho exclaimed at Wesley while pointing his gun. "I don\'t trust anyone yet, especially not in this kind of situation,"

"I don\'t know why this happen, but believe me when I say that the Assembly of Freedom doesn\'t have anything to do with this," Wesley tried to explain.

"Of course, you don\'t," Jericho sneered. "But that doesn\'t change the fact that you might kill me the moment I let you get close,"

"Why would you think I would do that?" Wesley doesn\'t have such an intention.

"Because everyone is doing it right now," Jericho pointed at the scene that has been revealed in front of everyone\'s eyes as soon as the smoke got cleared out.

"Alright," Wesley could only choose to back away in order to give Jericho\'s group some room to breathe and a piece of mind. He can\'t blame the latter for reacting that way, especially considering the situation is not appropriate to think of trusting anyone else other than their own small group.

Unbeknownst to Wesley, this was actually done purposely by Jericho as Kayn doesn\'t want to risk the chance of the former taking advantage of the situation to kill Jericho once they allow him to get close.

With the chaos around them, it isn\'t strange for everyone\'s mind to get affected. Let alone the unreasonable and chaotic minds of the members of the Assembly of Freedom.

Wesley naturally knew of this, but he isn\'t insane enough to really do it. Moreover, he doesn\'t hold any grudges against Jericho.

However, as Wesley looked around the other allies that have escaped the chaos and are now upstairs, he noticed that all of them have instinctively created a space in between them out of fear that the others might try to kill them. In other words, they don\'t believe that it is safe anywhere.

This was the actual reason why Wesley choose to give up approaching Jericho.

"Can you open a path for us to go up?" Jericho requested.

"Please open a small path for Jericho\'s group to go upstairs,"

All Executives quickly complied as they created a small pathway that Jericho\'s group quickly used to get to the second floor.

As Jericho\'s group went up, Chief Kylo observed them from head to toe to get a grasp of this ally.

The instant Jericho\'s group got to the second floor, they immediately expressed their relief that they\'d finally escaped from the chaos.

Looking down below, despite the smoke getting cleared by the <<Air Blast>> spells, the chaos still continued.

Left with no other choice, Chief Kylo ordered all of his men present in the ballroom to stop the chaos from issuing any further and causing more casualties in their group.

Not long after, the infighting within the allies of the Assembly of Freedom finally ended.

Fortunately for them, only a few people actually died, with the most deaths being the bodyguards instead of the important guests.

In the end, the Assembly of Freedom only suffered a few losses that they could easily recover after a few days.

However, that wasn\'t the end though.

As soon as everything was cleared, and everyone received an explanation of what exactly happened and how it all led to this, Chief Kylo immediately sent everyone away.

Hundreds of motor wagons arrived in front of the venue of the ball to escort the important guests to another building that seems to be a hotel.

Chief Kylo explained to the important guests that they\'ll have to stay the night in the city in case those people would try to come back and assassinate them.

Everyone agreed with it and choose to comply as it was for their own good.

Just how wrong they were…

When the motor wagons were about to reach the hotel, multiple explosions erupted around the buildings along their path.

Boom!

Bang!

Shards and debris from the buildings around got blasted across the street everywhere.

Although, unlike the situation in the ballroom, the chaos was solved right away as the Assembly of Freedom already expected something to happen. Moreover, they have increased their numbers for this escort mission.

"Change of plans, we are going to the headquarters!" Wesley ordered everyone to change the direction of their motor wagons.

Everyone complied and turned in another direction.

Along the way to the headquarters, more buildings along their path exploded.

It was only at this moment that the Assembly of Freedom realized that they have actually fallen for the perpetrators\' trap.

Unfortunately for them, it was already too late to do anything about it and their only choice left is to continue heading to the headquarters.

"We are close!" Wesley tried to assure everyone.

But it was useless.

Some people already left their motor wagons and went ahead to look for a way to escape instead of relying on the Assembly of Freedom. The organization has already failed twice in protecting them, so they don\'t plan on seeing the third time.

At first, some were able to succeed and escaped from the chaos. However, those that tried to do it late were caught in the trap that Kayn\'s group had prepared for them, which ended with their unfortunate death.

Evidently, Kayn\'s group doesn\'t want anyone else to escape. Not because they plan on killing everyone present, but rather because the more people there are, the more chaotic the place would be. And with more chaos, Chief Kylo and Wesley\'s attention would have to focus on multiple people.

As the motor wagons continued moving in the direction of the headquarters, they soon noticed a pile of explosives blocking the path in front.

"Turn around, turn around!" Wesley abruptly sent an order.

Regretfully, it was impossible for the motor wagon in front of everyone to turn around as its speed has reached something that can\'t be easily controlled by the chauffeur.

BOOM!

A loud explosion erupted as the motor wagon collided with the explosives.

Luckily, the people on the motor wagon were fast enough to jump to the side and prevent themselves from getting caught in the fire.

·ƈθm The initial explosion seemed to act as a catalyst, prompting numerous additional explosions to occur rapidly thereafter, engulfing the entire street in a blazing inferno of fire and erupting flames.

Because of that, all motor wagons had no other choice but to make an abrupt stop as they met a dead end.

"There\'s no way out now, Chief Kylo," Kayn muttered as he revealed himself.

Kayn was like a devil that walked past the flames of hell that surrounds everyone.

"Well, well, well, isn\'t it nice to see you again my dear, Kayn," Chief Kylo disembarked from his motor wagon. "I didn\'t expect that I would be meeting you once again this soon,"

"It can\'t be helped, because you\'re like a walking treasure cove,"

Even he is helpless about that fact since Chief Kylo seems to always possess everything that they need.

"What are you after this time? You already have the Kingmaker," Chief Kylo already have an assumption to what Kayn\'s group wanted.

"Nothing special, just another item that you have right now,"

"How about we make a trade?"

"I am interested," Kayn pretended to be intrigued.

"Give me the Kingmaker, and I\'ll give you whatever you want,"
