Chapter 2009 Mafia Queen

Inside the base.

The battle might not be broadcast to the general public to avoid any panic. But the news would find its way to take a sneak peek or inside information to spread.

Some media had been controlled by the government and spread the information that they wanted to spread to calm the masses. But some media still caused some ruckus with their own news.

"The base is attacked from all directions. Will our soldiers be able to protect this base?"

The people could only look at their Skylink, browsing through the news. After all, the government had ordered them to stay at home to avoid panic.

Of course, the panic had struck the base at a smaller scale earlier. They ransacked the shelves, especially for food and toilet paper. There was some chaos happening all around the base, but they were quickly suppressed by the police and military.

And this time, there would be huge chaos if they came outside. Numerous people might lose their lives since there were spies hidden among the population.

And the government was on high alert and mobilized the police, stationing them in every area. The people that left their houses would be under heavy pressure from the police.

This was the countermeasure they had prepared.

A police car stopped nearby and the police inside it rolled down the window, asking, "How is the situation in your area?"

"There are no people leaving their houses for the time being. I hope this shit ends as soon as possible." He sighed.

"No shit." The police shrugged. "But right now, we can only do our job without knowing when the war will end. I've seen a few angry people trying to leave."

"For real? I can understand though, but then again, it's said that there will be an attack bigger than the one we faced previously. I don't know if it's real or not, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Yeah. I'm gonna check other blocks then."

"Sure. Have a nice—" Before the guy finished, a huge explosion occurred.

*Boom!*

"!!!" Both of them turned around, looking at the rising fire and a lot of debris flying into the sky. Due to their location, they didn't feel the powerful shock wave. But they could somehow sense the passing gale as the remnant of the shock wave.

Both of them looked at each other, realizing that the attack had started.

"I'm going!" The guy immediately stepped on the pedal to check what was going on while the other one focused on defending his area with a grim expression.

They didn't know what was happening, but the line immediately got busy as a lot of them reported about the situation.

"A van exploded. We suspected there was a bomb inside."

"No trace of people was found at the moment."

The atmosphere inside the base started to get worse. The people from the media tried their best to get the scoop and get the rating. They didn't care whether their action would cause a mass panic or not.

At the scene, there were a lot of police isolating the area. The bomb squad had been called and a lot of experts, either Supreme Rank Experts or Mythical Rank Experts, got involved.

But more importantly, there was one more person that got involved in this. He held the power far above the others.

He was none other than the Time God.

While they were busy discussing the bomb, the Time God arrived at the scene and asked, "Have you found anything?"

"!!!" The people were startled when they saw the Time God. They immediately greeted them. "Sir."

The Time God waved his hand to calm them down while asking the same question, "So… have you found something?"

"We are not very sure at the moment. Our suspicion is that the van had a bomb inside and it had been here for a while. We have been asking around, but not a single person has seen anyone coming out of the van. They even tell us that the van doesn't belong to this area."

The Time God frowned. "This is weird…"

"Yes, Sir."

They all looked at the Time God, wondering if he could do something with his unique power.

But before the Time God had time to shine, a female's voice disturbed all of them.

"Yo, Aiden."

"!!!" The Time God felt something familiar from this voice and immediately turned around, finding a woman that had been hiding inside this base the whole time. He frowned, "You are… the Mafia Queen, Alexandra Boric."

"!!!" The police obviously heard about that name. They all looked at her in shock, wondering why such a person had come here.

Even the Time God was confused. He asked, "Why are you here? You are supposed to help the people outside the base, right?"

"No. There is a change of plan. The enemies are stronger than we expected, so it's better for me to babysit the base and have you go to the battlefield." The Mafia Queen shook his head.

"Huh? Is that from Theo?"

"Yeah. There were a lot of World Class Monsters on the battlefield. Instead of adding me, who couldn't go toe to toe with a World Class Monster, it's better to have you there.

"So, I'm giving you his message now. Time God, Aiden Turner. Head straight to the battlefield and help us suppress the slime. Your ability and strength are more useful to be used on the battlefield."

"!!!" The people were shocked since the message's tone was high and mighty. It was as if Theo was looking down on the Time God. But if they thought about it, the most terrifying existence in this base was Theo. So, it might be normal for him to say it that way.

However, the Time God frowned as if he didn't agree with this arrangement. "This is the first time I heard about it. Are you sure you're not making it up by yourself? Besides, I'm stronger here, so I'll be more useful as the last line of defense. We still don't know about the enemies hiding inside the base."

The Mafia Queen and the Time God suddenly stared at each other as if they were trying to show their power to make the other follow their idea.
