Chapter 1334
At the same time.
Up in the highest VIP viewing section, the atmosphere had frozen over into solid ice.
The broadcast signal for Pod 10 had been cut off far too quickly. It didn’t look like a sudden glitch at all.
Furthermore, despite all the loud declarations about “emergency protocols” and “immediate rescue” from the Severian organizers, it was painfully obvious that not a single actual rescue attempt was underway. It was all talk.
Nicholas and Serena’s three brothers were all men who stood at the absolute pinnacle of power. None of them were fools.
One glance was all it took to see exactly what was going on.
This was no equipment malfunction.
Someone had deliberately set a trap for Serena.
Jasper stared at the blacked-out split screen for Pod 10. His strikingly gorgeous features slowly froze over, murderous intent swirling in his eyes. “These bastards. I knew they tampered with it p>
Jerrick’s expression was terrifyingly dark, his knuckles cracking loudly as he clenched his fists. “Let’s go. To the control room p>
The men turned and headed for the exit.
But the moment they reached the door of the VIP suite, the Severian security detail stationed outside immediately raised their arms, completely blocking their path.
“Apologies, honored guests. Tournament regulations state that no one may leave their designated viewing area without authorization during the match,” Captain Briggs said respectfully, his posture impeccable.
But his meaning was crystal clear. It was nothing short of a soft imprisonment.
They obviously knew that this so-called ultimate silent benefactor and the Elyndorian Captain trapped in Pod 10 had a deep connection. That was why their first move was to lock them in here.
As long as they kept them pinned down, the Elyndorian competitor inside Pod 10 could only wait to die.
Jerrick, already suppressing his rage, felt the sheer violence in his eyes erupt at those words. “Regulations p>
He scoffed, lifting his leg and delivering a brutal kick.
Bam!
The Severian guard blocking the door didn’t even have a chance to react before he was sent flying sideways, crashing violently against the corridor wall.
Agonized groans instantly filled the air.
Jerrick had already drawn his gun, aiming the dark muzzle forward. His gaze was as ruthless as a demon crawling out of hell. “Say one more word, and I’ll level this entire Med-Tech Nexus p>
The faces of the remaining security guards instantly drained of color.
Beside him, the playful smirk vanished completely from Jasper’s devastatingly handsome face. With a flick of his wrists, he drew a pair of silenced silver handguns.
He chambered the rounds.
He had a face of stunning beauty, yet at this moment, his smile was bone-chilling. “You dared to touch my sister p>
“I’m going to rip apart your entire backend network and broadcast every single dirty secret on the main screens for the whole world to see p>
He casually spun the gun on his finger, pure malice radiating from his eyes. “And then I’m going to put a bounty on your entire families for every hunter on The Obsidian Dark Web to enjoy p>
The guards trembled violently in sheer terror.
Where was the civilized demeanor of honored guests? These men were complete lunatics!
Jerrick and Jasper didn’t bother
wasting another breath. Radiating pure killing intent, they strode directly toward the main control room. Anyone who dared to stand in their way would be cleared out.
On the sofa behind them.
Julian expressionlessly pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “You have ten minutes. I want a full acouisition of all controlling shares for The Severia Med Tech Nexus under the tournament organizers’ names p>
“Cut off their security clearances from the source p>
The person on the other end was clearly stunned.
Before hanging up, Julian adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gleaming with sheer ruthlessness behind the lenses. His smooth calm, yet bone chillingly cold válce finished the thought: “If anything happens to my sister in there p>
