After the G20 summit, everything returned to normal.
But for the Apostles of the Stars, this was simply a nightmare.
"Damn it! Why is this happening?!"
A short man in a long robe and wrapped in bandages paced back and forth in the room in exasperation. Although his expression could not be seen, his tone was quite anxious.
The Bandaged Man was also a member of the Apostles of the Stars, or rather, a core member. He was the one who awakened the superpower for Kurid and the others. Everything he did was to challenge the world order and take revenge at the same time.
More than a decade ago, the Bandaged Man's clan possessed that unique and powerful power, so they tried to challenge the order and become the ruler of the world, but they failed. Then, except for himself, everyone else in the Bandaged Man's clan was killed. At that time, the Bandaged Man was just a child, so he was powerless to fight. But things were different now. He found Kurid and was confident that as long as he cooperated with him, they could completely overthrow the order of the world and create a whole new world with the power of their clan!
And that terrorist attack was the beginning of the revolution!
As long as they ignited the beacon, they could burn the whole old world to ashes!
Unfortunately, before the beacon could be ignited, it was extinguished by a basin of water.
Not only that, but they suffered heavy losses.
Two were captured, one defected, one died, and one was seriously injured.
Including Kurid, there were a total of 11 Apostles of the Stars who had awakened their abilities. Now, half of them were gone, especially when Kurid, the leader, was injured. This made the whole organization even more unstable.
It must be noted that in order to recruit comrades, Kurid and the others had searched everywhere for people with qualifications and let them awaken their abilities. Many of them came from prison and were notorious murderers. They were not easily obedient. The reason why these people were willing to gather around Kurid was that he was the strongest among them. As long as they followed him, they could fulfill their wishes. That was why they were willing to obey Kurid.
However, Kured was now completely disabled. The 'doctor' had diagnosed him and concluded that Kured's nervous system had been eroded by some unknown poison and was completely damaged. Even with the 'doctor''s' ability, he couldn't repair it. Kured had been injured before. He had once been hit by an explosive bomb during a battle with his old friend and was seriously injured.
But it was different this time. Compared to flesh wounds, injuries that went deep into the bone marrow and nerves were much more difficult to treat. Even with everything that the bandaged man had, he could not give any good advice on this matter.
Was everything going to be ruined just like that?
The bandaged man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The only reason they were able to escape the pursuit of Chronos and the Guardian of Time was that they had destroyed most of Chronos' intelligence network before the uprising. And after Kured was injured, they quickly found a secret place to hide.
But he also knew that there was a limit to this.
What should I do next?
The bandaged man did not have any ideas either. Almost none of the people left in the organisation had any brains in this area. Aijdona was originally the best choice, but she was killed while protecting Kuride. Now, among the Apostles of the Stars, the only ones who could think and solve all the problems were himself and …
"Mr. Hickey, bad news!"
Just as the bandaged man was getting anxious, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. A fat man who looked like a human tank strode in. Hickey, of course, knew who he was. He was also one of the Apostles of the Stars. He used to be a 'sumo wrestler'. In short, this man gave off the impression of a walking mountain of meat.
However, the ability he awakened was extremely useful. He could control gravity, and this was one of the few Star Apostles that possessed a rather powerful combat ability. His only drawback was that his brain was not particularly sharp — perhaps because all the nutrients had gone to fat.
Fortunately, he was loyal enough.
"What happened?"
The bandaged man was glad that he had been covering his face with a bandage. Even though he was looking at the Rozan with a displeased expression, the Rozan would not be able to tell.
"Didn't you say I was thinking about something?"
"Oh no, Du Lan, Du Lan is leaving!"
"What?"
The bandaged man's heart sank when he heard this.
His bad premonition had come true.
When the bandaged man walked into the hall, he saw a man walking toward the entrance. He was the man with the iron mask who had launched the first attack at the summit.
"Du Lan, what are you doing?!"
"I want to leave this place."
Hearing the bandaged man's roar, Iron Mask turned around and stared at him coldly.
"I've had enough of hiding like a mouse. I have my own ideas! “
"What the hell do you want?"
"I want to kill that traitor and find the person who defeated Kuride!"
"It's a trap!"
Hearing Du Lan's answer, the bandaged man shouted even louder. It was not a secret that Kyoko Kirizaki had returned to school. From the fact that she was not imprisoned, it could be seen that the girl had obviously left the Star Apostles and betrayed them. However, the bandaged man and the others did not look for trouble with her. They knew very well that this was obviously a trap.
In fact, according to their original plan, they wanted to rescue their other two companions, but after inquiring about their situation, this idea was put aside. One of them was seriously injured and had a hematopoietic disorder, so he had been lying in the ICU all day. The other had multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, and both of his legs had been amputated … Even if they were rescued, these two people would not have any combat power left.
As for the person who defeated their comrade, they also conducted an investigation. The only clue they had was a bounty hunter codenamed "F". He had never failed in his career for more than a year, and his mission completion rate was 100%. Not only that, the most famous characteristic of "F" was that he never killed those criminals.
But the criminals who fell into his hands all ended up in a state worse than death.
Thinking about Kuride, who was still lying on the hospital bed, the bandaged man could not help but shiver.
Indeed, if he were to live like a living dead, then he would rather die than live like one.
Considering that "F" was active in Japan, and that Kyoko Kirizaki was also in Japan … She was probably "F"'s bait.
"She's just an ordinary human."
Iron Mask did not care about the bandaged man's reminder.
"I'll let you know who's the strongest."
After saying this, the man with the iron mask strode out of the door. The bandaged man looked at his receding figure and couldn't help but sigh.
He had no idea what to do now.
Duran did not care about any of this. The Star Apostle, the revolution, the new world, all these were meaningless to him. He just wanted to fight. He wanted to become stronger. His previous target was Kuride, but now he had a new target, and that was the mysterious opponent "F" who defeated Kuride.
He wanted to fight him. He wanted to know how strong that man was to be able to defeat Kuride!
That was why Duran came to Japan.
Although he did not know where that man was, he knew where Kyoko Kirizaki was. He could go directly to Kyoko Kirizaki's school and use the students of that school as hostages to force that man to fight him head-on. Then, he would know who the strongest person in the world was!
Duran was full of confidence in his ability. He could condense power and fire a bullet-like energy bullet from the muzzle. Unlike ordinary gunmen, his bullets could be fired at any time and would never run out of bullets. The power of a bullet was even comparable to a grenade. Because of this, he was full of confidence in himself as the world's strongest gunman. No matter who his opponent was, he believed that as long as he could force that guy to fight him head-on, he would definitely win in the end!
Thinking of this, Duran stepped forward and walked into the elevator. He planned to have a good rest in the hotel, conserve his energy, and then prepare for the battle.
"Ding."
At the same time, the elevator door closed. Then, the entire elevator began to rise slowly.
Duran closed his eyes, thinking about what to do next. Suddenly, accompanied by a soft "click" sound, the elevator suddenly stopped. Sensing this, Duran opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the elevator.
At the same time, an invisible sense of weightlessness instantly bound Duran's body.
The next moment, the elevator whistled down. Under the influence of gravity, the elevator directly fell from the seventh floor, and then …
"Boom!!!!"
Fangzheng nodded in satisfaction as he watched the smoke and fire erupt from the elevator entrance on the third underground floor. He then yawned and closed the laptop in front of him.
In fact, as soon as Duran walked out of the airport, Fangzheng's camera had already scanned and locked onto him. At the same time, he notified Fangzheng.
What happened next was much simpler. Although the man also had strange superpowers, Fangzheng did not think he had the ability to escape from a falling elevator. That was the truth. Even though the man had been very cruel and tyrannical at the summit, he still could not fight back in the face of the great power of nature.
As for whether he was still alive … well, Fangzheng was not interested in that.
"I didn't expect someone to take the initiative to die."
While talking, Fangzheng picked up his phone and sent a text message to Cephelia.
It would be better to leave the rest to the Time Guardians.
