The revelation took them by surprise, and that exhausted them before they even started causing the havoc they came there for. But they couldn't grow timid, they were already there, they may aswell exhaust every ounce of it.
"Okay guys, masks on." Kiro gave the order.
They each took out a small bug-like gadget, made out of silicone and pressed it on their faces, it sprung to life growing large covering their whole faces, with two small holes for the eyes. There were no holes for breathing, at first Kiro thought that it would be a problem, but it was surprisingly breathable.
"President Scott sure plays a lot, what would he have needed these for?" Nikolai asked dumbfounded, though nobody could read the expression his face carried.
"Be thankful he's the man he is, they simply can't know it is us that are doing this. We don't want this biting our ass before we've completely rendered them incapacitated." Kiro told him nonchalantly.
Their conversation wasn't in whispers, because of the noise that surrounded them. Even though he shut Nikolai up with that, he also wondered, just what was President Scott's game. Someone couldn't just randomly build weapons unless they were preparing for something.
His train of thought was disturbed when his eyes fell on Hiro, he was still seated, looking at the man in the ring whom was acting like a feral animal. The sadness in his eyes was immeasurable, he couldn't see his face but he somehow knew the face he was making.
"Are you okay buddy?" For some reason he didn't want to ask, afraid he'd start crying all over again. Something he wouldn't blame him for. He'd probably be worse if it were his own father.
"I-uh, yeah." He got up from the seat, ready to bring the entire place down.
Because they had started this trip with a business meeting, it didn't dawn to neither of them to pack casual clothes, so they were all in black suits. Which was great because that meant, they didn't stand out from the crowd.
They were about to sneak around when the speaker made a squealing noise, causing the uproar that was about to descend immediately to cease. With everyone covering their ears, the only ones who didn't were the five.
"Huh? This acts as protective gear too? Aren't we just in a game then." Ishaan said excitedly, he could barely contain it. He imagined just what the other things did.
"Hush!" Felix whispered.
"I think they won't go as far as to kill him." Enjoy more content from m-v l'e|-novelhall.net
"You think? This isn't Asgard Online where gambling with your life means you only lose levels." He spat.
Ishaan sheepishly retreated. He regretted saying anything, even to him it seemed like Kiro had a handle on things but he just wanted to comfort him too.
"Calm down, we can't be fighting amongst ourselves, you know he didn't mean it like that." Kiro was still grabbing his arm, not trusting that his friend wouldn't run to the ring.
The men entered, and immediate they were attacked but Jin was just one man. These individuals the voice called 'dogs' weren't exactly normal either so they started giving him a good beating.
"See? There was nothing to panic about gentlemen. We can handle the people we own no matter how strong. Now all we need to do is retrain and tame him." That last sentence was uttered with such a sinister tone it made their skin crawl.
After he was no longer fighting back, they shot the guns which earned audible gasps around the room but they were just tranquillisers. Kiro sighed in relief, he didn't realise he was holding his breath.
The crowd exploded in cheers.
"Let's go now, through that door."
They scuttled toward the door, after entering and closing it shut the silence was deafening. It was as if the previous room was something out of their imagination.
They were greeted by a long hall with many rooms.
"What are we looking for anyway?" Nikolai asked.
"Proof first, then we can find a way to release the prisoners." Kiro told them taking the first step to the unknown.
