A glass filled with water was placed in front of Kieran.
The owner, who was as skinny as his face and body, was waiting for Kieran's answer.
Drexton, who was supposed to follow Kieran into the Spicy Kitchen, was nowhere to be seen.
Kieran glanced around and raised a brow.
SSS + Intuition combined with [Tracking] allowed him to differentiate the real from the fake.
The restaurant, including the utensils, was real.
The ingredients in the kitchen were even emanating a unique aroma.
Except …
The owner.
The owner was vivid and lifelike, yet he gave Kieran a fleeting feeling.
More importantly, Drexton, who was supposed to follow Kieran, was nowhere to be seen.
No doubt the owner's target was Drexton.
Kieran had no idea how the person who set up the trap did it but Kieran knew a scarier and more dangerous trap was waiting for Drexton.
As for Kieran?
He was caught in the crossfire.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used such a simple formation to deal with Kieran.
Huu!
Kieran heaved a heavy breath and looked at the owner in front of him again.
If it was possible, Kieran already had his own plans and didn't want to get involved in Drexton's matters for the time being.
But since it had happened, Kieran wouldn't run away.
"Dear customer, what would you like to eat?"
When Kieran looked at him, the owner went along with the flow and asked like a normal person.
In fact, it could even be said that he did it better than most normal people. Even though his words were hurried, his tone was still calm.
Kieran didn't answer, leaning back in his chair and tapping the table with his right hand.
Dok, Dok, Dok.
The moment his fingertips touched the wooden table, a rhythmic knocking sound reverberated throughout the restaurant.
"I want to eat all the food you know how to cook.
If I'm satisfied, I'll pretend you didn't say anything.
"If it doesn't satisfy me, then I'll make you its dessert."
Kieran said slowly.
At the same time, Kieran loosened the shackles on the cardinal sins.
Suddenly, the most primitive and evil aura appeared in the restaurant. It was as if chains from the netherworld were tightly wrapped around the owner's body.
That aura made the boss instinctively feel fear.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
However, a powerful palm landed on the boss's shoulder, causing him to completely lose control of his body.
He stiffened.
Damn it.
Also …
There was the sound of someone swallowing saliva.
…
Drexton took a step forward and the scene before him changed.
The familiar restaurant did not appear.
Instead, it was a pitch-black and cold 'prison'.
It was not an adjective, but a prison in the truest sense of the word.
The floor and walls were all made of metal.
There was only a palm-sized window on the wall in front of Drexton.
Drexton's laughter stopped abruptly. He quickly put away his smile and his face turned heavy.
"Mr. Ghost, come out!"
"You know you can't fool me with your tricks."
Drexton growled.
Drexton sounded very certain.
Or in other words, he was very familiar with his old rival.
However, it was because of this familiarity that Drexton grew more anxious.
Drexton was worried about Kieran.
Kieran was able to deal with Slither Bone, Predator, and Ironjaw Croc, killing all the supervillains but it didn't mean Kieran could deal with Mr. Ghost.
One needed to know, Slither Bone, Predator, and Ironjaw Croc, compared to Mr. Ghost, there was an immeasurable gap between them.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say the gap was like heaven and earth in Drexton's point of view.
Only those who truly fought Mr. Ghost before would understand how scary this supervillain, who almost stood at the top of the extraordinary individuals in Alkender City, was.
Even if Mr. Ghost placed his true attention on Drexton, as long as he targeted Kieran, he was afraid …
Drexton's breath froze when the thought came into his mind.
Fuung!
Inside the narrow metal room, a strong gust of wind howled.
Drexton punched the ground hard.
His Intuition told him that he could break the metal board on the ground.
As for the wall?
It was impregnable!
Under normal circumstances, he couldn't break the wall.
KABOOM!
It was as if a ton of explosives went off at that very moment.
The metal floor first shook, then twisted and crumbled, revealing a sturdy ground with a strange purple glow.
A pungent smell assaulted Drexton's nose.
Drexton was alarmed.
Without any Intuition, a mere glance and the smell alone was enough for Drexton to know the soil before his eyes was laced with poison!
"Hesitating?
"Indecisive?"
On one side, you are waiting to be rescued, slightly better than strangers, a fledgling that might become the so-called partner of justice. On the other side, you are at risk of losing your life.
What will you choose? "
A sharp, irritating voice sounded outside the palm-sized window. The voice was like an actor on a stage, speaking in an aria of varying pitch.
Before the voice truly subsided, Drexton stepped on the poisonous soil.
Right away, Drexton's aura skyrocketed.
At the same time, the strange purple glow spread across Drexton's face.
"As expected of the Fist of Justice, Drexton!
"This is too touching."
Looking at you, I don't even have the heart to carry out the next part of my plan. "
Then, the voice paused.
"I'm just kidding.
"When you came in, my plan had already begun!"
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next … "
"The first act has begun."
A sharp laugh echoed in the room.
However, it was soon overshadowed by a huge explosion.
KABOOM!
Drexton launched a punch.
Not only did the metal wall before him get punched through, but the other metal walls around him were also shattered.
However, the owner of the sharp laugh was nowhere to be seen.
Drexton looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, his heart sinking.
A bad feeling rose in his heart.
"Willis? Willis? "
Drexton called for his assistant repeatedly but there was no reply, causing his heart to sink to the bottom.
He was no longer in Alkender City.
Then …
What would happen to Alkender City?
All sorts of bad guesses filled Drexton with anxiety. He started to search for communication tools to contact his assistant, trying his best to prevent more casualties.
