Chapter 218: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 21
Just when Kayn and Gilbert were about to get close to the bathroom, they soon caught a glimpse of Randy and Jadiel walking close to them. The duo came from the area close to the window.
Randy and Jadiel were also doing the same thing as Kayn and Gilbert, except the two sprinkled gunpowder on the corners instead of the center of the ballroom.
"Let's see the progress of the others," Kayn led everyone to the bathroom.
As soon as they got inside the bathroom, they immediately noticed a few dead bodies stacked on top of each other inside a single cubicle while Charles could be seen cleaning his sword by the side.
"Good job cleaning up rats," Kayn nodded at Charles. "Are Jericho and Jude still setting up Drowsy Mushrooms in the air duct?"
"Yes," Charles confirmed. "It is more than a maze than we expected,"
"You heard Charles," Kayn looks at Gilbert and Randy. "The two of you, help them finish their task quickly,"
Gilbert and Randy nodded in acknowledgment as they jump into the air duct.
"Are you sure that this would really work?" Charles was a bit doubtful about it.
"Yes," Kayn was confident about his plan. "The moment we lit the gunpowder to produce fire, the smoke they produce would swiftly go up toward the air duct. And around that time, the drowsy toxic mist should have significantly built up everywhere above everyone's head already,"
"Then when the time is right, we will open the vents and release the drowsy toxic mist, which would blend in completely well with the smoke produced by the fire down below,"
Kayn recounted the plan so that Charles would rest assured.
After five minutes or so, Gilbert, Jude, Jericho, and Randy jumped down from the air duct.
"Give it a few minutes, and they should create more than enough drowsy toxic mist to bring everyone inside the ballroom to sleep," Jericho smiled at the thought. "By then, we can kill everyone here easily,"
"Remember, that's not our goal," Kayn informed everyone again of their exact intention. "Our plan is to simply cause disturbance and chaos so that we can try to sneak behind that unknown woman and steal the key she is carrying. Killing the allies of the Assembly of Freedom is just a bonus,"
"Moreover, we can't underestimate the people who are present at the ball. Some of them would fall prey to the drowsy toxic mist but don't expect that all of them would," After all, the people present here are powerful and influential individuals. The majority of them should possess enough capability to resist the drowsy toxic mist just like Chief Kylo.
"I know, but that's when the real fun would begin, right?" Jericho can't help feeling excited about the prospect of their plan.
"It's just a guess," Kayn wasn't feeling one hundred percent sure about this one factor he added to their plan. However, if he is correct, then things would become messy within the alliance of the Assembly of Freedom.
Time quickly passes as Kayn and the others converse with each other to further refine their entire plan for later.
When the five-minute timer was up, everyone immediately put on their serious face as they wore their respective mask and changed their clothes. Of course, Jericho didn't join in with them as he has to pretend that he is one with the Assembly of Freedom along with Jude and Jadiel who he brought along.
The trio left the bathroom first as Kayn prepared themselves to follow soon after.
"We should be good to go," Gilbert said after he took a glimpse outside the bathroom.
An entire operation is being executed inside a small bathroom.
Kayn has never truly done one of these things in his entire life. This is his first time.
And whether it would succeed or not is about to be seen in just a moment.
Gilbert gathered fire element mana in his hand. As soon as it reached hot enough, he immediately pushed it to the gunpowder they sprinkled down below.
Whoosh!
Gunpowder is very easy to ignite. Just a touch of fire and it would combust in an instant and spread on every corner with gunpowder.
The same thing happened the instant Gilbert touched the gunpowder. It lit on fire and in just a blink of an eye, the fire traveled speedily to the areas that had gunpowder.
In less than thirty seconds, the sound of chaos echoed outside of the bathroom as the fire spread almost everywhere, especially in the corner and the center of the room.
Those locations were spots that have objects that could easily get on fire. That's the reason why they were specifically targeted by Kayn's group.
And when the one-minute timer came up, sounds of multiple loud explosions sounded.
Boom!
Bang!
Glasses, steel, and cement got blasted everywhere nearby with the explosions.
Those explosions were caused by the small boxes of explosives that Jadiel and Randy secretly hid on the corner.
Because of the preparation the Assembly of Freedom has arranged for this special event, multiple mages immediately appeared to try and stop the fire and at the same time save their important guest.
Similarly, the bodyguards the guest brought with them also came and helped. Although they focused on protecting their masters.
Moreover, the guest themselves were also powerful individuals, thus they possess enough capability to protect themselves, especially considering that this was just a small fire, albeit it did span around the entire room because of the gunpowder.
Every single time the fire was extinguished, it would instantly release a thick layer of smoke that goes up to the air duct above everyone's head.
·ƈθm As more and more fires were extinguished, the layer of smoke thickened. Nevertheless, because of the air duct, it didn't become a hindrance to everyone's sight as they quickly got absorbed by the air duct.
All of a sudden…
Boom!
