Chapter 550 - THE INVISIBLE BOY

The Floating Pavilion was quiet as Akira walked into the room. 

She was afraid. 

Usually, when she went out on dangerous missions, she never felt that gripping hollowness of terror. Her emotions were always calm. She always knew how the mission would go on, and how it would end. Therefore, she never felt fear. 

Moreover, she was alone in the past. 

But now, if she made an error in judgement, she would not die alone. There was Little Precious, and there was Kaito. 

She could not afford to fail.. 

Bonnie and Clyde kept their weapons up as Akira appeared. They looked at her for a long moment before Bonnie started laughing. She lowered her gun, but the people in the restaurant felt even more terrified. 

"I did not think you would bring your little wife to this dangerous place." Bonnie looked at Kaito with shock. 

"You mean it is…" Clyde was equally surprised. 

"Indeed, darling! This is the woman that everyone wants to kill." Bonnie said. "You know, if we shot her right now and posted a video on that stupid Watch, we would be instant millionaires. Maybe, even billionaires." 

Kaito looked at them coldly before walking towards Akira. The two people did not seem to mind his actions. It was as if they felt they were in control of everything. The threat of Kaito was non-existent to them. 

Bonnie looked closer at Akira. "Now, tell me. Why do people hate a cute little lady like you? People from all over the world are literally paying to see your death. And these are people who do not know you at all. They have no grudge against you." 

Despite their fear of the volatile couple, the people in the restaurant could not help looking at Akira. She was a bit on the short side, but her facial features were quite good. Even though she was heavily pregnant, she looked like she had a good figure. 

Furthermore, her eyes had a clear and adorable quality, like a small guileless animal. 

It was implausible that someone was trying to kill her for sport. 

"I am just popular that way. Some of us are born to stand at the centre of the universe." Akira said flatly as Kaito looked her up and down while subtly placing a thin knife into her clothes. Her facial expression did not change. 

She did not have any weapon to defend herself, so she was glad to have the security of the blade. If it were not for the hostages and the bomb, she would never have come up. She was sure that Kaito would have figured a way out. 

Unfortunately, there was too much at stake. 

Bonnie snorted as she waved the gun in her hand. "You know that these people want to kill you. It is not like you are a god."

Akira shrugged. "Good publicity or bad publicity, what is the difference? I am famous." 

These words triggered something in Clyde. 

While he enjoyed creating bombs, he had never forgotten the pain of his childhood. He was always the invisible boy. Even his parents and siblings never bothered much after he faked his death and left his hometown. 

His dream was to be remembered. To make such a big splash, that his name would go down in history. He wanted people to cry, laugh and sing songs about him. He wanted an everlasting legacy that would be turned into books and movies. 

"Honey, I like your idea." Clyde looked at Bonnie with blazing eyes. "Let us show the world what we are capable of. After all, we have the most valuable jewel in the underworld right now." 

Bonnie was a little frightened by the look in Clyde's eyes. "What do you mean?" 

"Let us turn on Watch and give everyone a mighty good show." Clyde laughed as he imagined his face seen by countless people. 

At the moment, it would only be seen by members of the underworld. But leaks could not be prevented. Eventually, the glorious moment in which Akira died and the Crystal Plaza blew up would always be immortalised. 

They would have an unbreakable legacy. 

Bonnie moved closer to Clyde and spoke in a low tone. She was a little worried about Clyde because his mental state could be a little unstable on occasion. She never knew about his end goal, but she willingly followed him. 

Perhaps, she was as foolish as the original Bonnie. 

"If we do that, we will broadcast our faces to everyone. We will not be able to escape. It is a death sentence." She spoke in a gentle and soothing tone. 

"Wake up, Bonnie!" Clyde said harshly. "We are never going to get away alive from this place. Do you think that no one has notified the police by now? Even if these cowards on the floor did not take a chance to call, there is no way Kaito's wife did not call for help before coming." 

"Face it, Bonnie. We are going to die here. The question is, how do you want to die? Do you want for us to live like gutter rats, crawling in the sewage? Do you want for us to never see the light of day while constantly afraid of being seen?" 

Clyde lifted his hands in a wide-armed gesture of victory. "Or do you want for us to die in great victory and go down in pomp and glory? We are in a golden age of information, and the heavens have handed us everything that we need to be famous." 

Bonnie knew that Clyde was right, but she was hesitant to die. "Clyde, honey…" 

Clyde used his free hand to pull Bonnie to his side before kissing her with a loud smack. His gun-wielding hand did not forget its purpose as it waved around. The people in the restaurant cowered while Kaito stood firmly in front of Akira. 

"Bonnie, do you remember why we became Bonnie and Clyde?" Clyde asked. 

"To leave a legacy greater than gangsters!" Bonnie responded, her eyes regaining their light. 

"What better way to do it than show the world through our eyes?" Clyde said, drinking in his fantasy. 

"Let's do it!"
