-One.
-Nothing’s changed.
-Two.
-There’s no more.
They talked through the radio and everyone had gathered to listen. The leader stood up with his arms tied along with an angry look on his face.
“Everyone’s worried.”
“You couldn’t have searched a little more?”
“We couldn’t. Things had started to get dangerous after just one hour. We had to hurry and escape.”
He didn’t seem so happy with their answer but he had no choice but to accept it. At least they were able to contact them immediately after they made it out of the building. Everyone was worried that they would get caught.
“What’s going on now?”
It took a lot to get the information they needed. If they didn’t have the hiding skill and the other special skills then they wouldn’t be able to make it out there.
He helped him and the others prepare for things like this for two years. They eventually got more experience on their own until they were able to handle the missions without any help from him.
He realized that he doubted him too late. He thought he needed to learn more but it turned out that he was already prepared enough. They just had to believe in him…
Someone then talked through the phone
“Congratulations, you guys did it!”
“Wow!”
The phone was close to his ear. He checked the number and pressed the speakerphone button so that everyone could hear it.
-Do you like to head out and eat for today? What do you guys want?
The lady on the phone said.
-Anything’s fine.
He replied.
-Jaehwang, we’ll come to pick you guys up from the south side of the Daehyeon clan experiment building. We’ll be there in 10 minutes, what should we look for?
-Okay, I have 11 people with me and they’re wearing some casual clothing. We’ll need a car big enough for all of us and then we can move on to the next part of the plan.
-Okay, we’ll install a phone for communication and be there as soon as possible.
The women talked calm and flat as if she was reading a book. The leader became worried for a bit but she did install the phone program at the car. The codes were a bit messy but it still worked.
“Looks like this mission has become more dynamic,” the leader said.
The mission was very dangerous but it wasn’t Jaehwang’s fault. He was luckily skilled enough to make it this far. The real problem was that time was running out.
He checked Jaehwang’s message again and instantly sprung into action. “A monster experimenting place… Gosh, how am I supposed to know where that is? Kihyeon! Everyone, gather around. I need you to find this place in 5 minutes!”
“I’m on it.” One of them said.
They had no idea how Jaehwang was able to rescue them but they had no choice but to believe in him. They then saw a woman crossing the road in their direction. She was walking with a limp but she looked quite dangerous. She passed by the car and then ran.
“There!”
Kwang!
Was it was they suspected? A big SUV then suddenly stopped and so did the woman.
She tried to avoid the SUV and a truck then came and crashed into the SUV. The accident had created chaos.
“Was that supposed to happen?…”
People started to gather around the incident and the Daehyeon clan’s guards rushed towards the scene. Everyone was confused and distracted, it was the perfect moment that they had been waiting for. Jaehwang then started to move as he noticed the urgency with their leader’s voice.
“You have three minutes!”
“Got it,” He replied.
“Take my hand.”
“Okay.” Jaehwang pulled up the last of the 11 people.
“I will leave first and see what happens. I’ll go find the rescue car and come back here to pick everyone up. Got it?”
“Understood.”
“Thank you again so much for saving us.” They looked at Jaehwang with tears in their eyes. He felt a little awkward but he understood what they were feeling.
“Be careful.”
“Yes, I’ll be going now.” Their hearts were racing as they were so nervous. Despite that, they had hope within them. They lost their hope when they were trapped in that building but they were able to get it back because of him.
Jaehwang looked back at them and smiled, seeing their strength had him motivated.
None of them knew their way around the area but with the help of one of the special skill that one of the people he rescued had, they were able to find their way out of room B3 and into the elevator and find some type of transportation without getting caught.
After that they rushed as fast as they could. Jaehwang gave them some different clothes to wear so they wouldn’t be too noticeable. They then showed up in a place that Jaehwang didn’t have in mind.
There were no corners in the elevator making every smooth to prevent escaping but Jaehwang had an idea to use an arrow to help.
However, there could have possibly been CCTV cameras underneath the elevator which caused a problem for their escape. But fortunately, one of them had an electromagnetic skill and could disrupt the camera and make their escape easier.
“We have reached the ground. When we get outside then-”
Beep! Beep!
They were finding their way out of the building and suddenly heard a loud siren.
Click… Click… Click
The passageways became blocked and they could hear the footsteps of people coming. There was a flickering red light going on everywhere along with the siren.
“This can’t be good.”
They must have left from traces behind causing them to find them but after one hour, no one came. It seems they’ve gotten lucky.
“W-what are we going to do?!”
They all gathered around Jaehwang. The light had been flickering for a while and although no one was coming they were still trapped and just the thought of them getting caught was frightening.
“I’ve thought of something, step back.”
They all then stepped back as it seemed that Jaehwang had an idea. It probably would have been much more difficult to break through if that happened before they got on the elevator. It was a lot easier as they were already on the last floor. All they had to do was break out of those walls…
“This will be easy.”
Breaking through things with his arrows was his specialty.
“Everyone, sep back a little more.”
“Okay.”
They responded to Jaehwang’s command and stepped back as far as possible.
Jaehwang then made sure everyone was at far distance and then looked at the wall. He pulled back the string with all his strength and launched the arrow to the wall at full speed.
Crash…
The others watched in amazement as tip of the arrow was covered in light as it flew towards the wall. Everyone then ducked their heads to keep safe from the big explosion.
The wall didn’t breakdown but it was close to shattering.
“Time for another one…”
Woosh…
Pong!
That time he used his new special strong arrow. It made a big effect on helping to break the wall.
Kwang kwang kwang! Kwang kwang kwang!
It made a loud noise hitting the wall and covered them all in dense dust.
Everyone started cough. The dust then disappeared after a few minutes and although the wall wasn’t completely broken down yet but, it seemed to be clearly very close to.
After the dust cleared away they saw that there was a one meter deep hole in the wall. That was it? The wall seemed to be studier than they thought… Behind them seemed to be a small hole in that wall too.
“Should we move a bit?”
“Huh? Oh, sure!”
Jaehwang answered and they then instantly moved to the other side.
Jaehwang looked around at the four walls feeling a little nervous as they seemed to be more dense than he expected.
“I have to be very careful.”
He still wasn’t used to using his new stronger arrow but he added it with a moving arrow and gave it another shot.
He focused for a moment and slowly pulled the string back before launching them at full speed.
Kwang kwang kwang!
The wall was shattered even more and they could see the rescue truck waiting for them outside. The rescued people were able to fit through the hole and escape.
They were all finally relieved as they got onto the rescue truck. Jaehwang then passed a weapon to the mission leader who was driving the rescue truck.
“You’ve worked hard. But aren’t you going to get in too?”
“No, I’ll finish up here and you guys can go ahead.”
“Okay… Be careful!”
He said in reply to Jaehwang’s answer. He hesitated to leave him there at first but he knew that Jaehwang knew what he was doing so he left onto the rescue truck.
“Hurry!”
Jaehwang turned around and prepared to launch another arrow. It got stronger and more effective the more he used it.
-Five! I’ll help!
The spirit made a white line appear to help break the walls.
“Maybe staying here was a bad idea!”
Jaehwang replaced his arrow string and focused.
Others were unaware but everyone on in the basement was most likely dead.
“I know how to break the wall!”
“Take this!”
Said a voice from the other side of the wall that they heard through the hole.
Pang!
It started to break even more as the magic of his new strong arrow consisted of magic and energy stronger than any arrow he had used before. The arrow disappeared through the hole after hitting into it and the second arrow that launched right after it caused the wall to break even more.
Kwang Kwang!
“It’s working!”
The wall shattered even more.
-Done.
-Great.
After all of that he was finally finished and it still seemed like no one else was around in the building. He used his tiger hunter skills to hide himself and went to find the pick up truck.
Woosh! Woosh!
“It’s the wrong car! Hide! The entrance has closed!”
The floor alarm went off and they could hear the guards coming. A giant door then opened on its own and they went through it and saw that it was filled with the Daehyeon clan’s weapon so they started gathering them.
“I’ll help.”
He was about to shoot an arrow but he made a mistake and his arm got weak.
Kwang Kwang! Kwang kwang kwang!!
The arrow hit into the opening door causing it to stop. Spikes then showed up to replace them and prevent escaping.
Was that it? They did notice something moving outside the door as if it was the shadow of some of the Daehyeon clan’s shoulders.
-Are you okay?
-I’m fine. I just got a little worried at first.
He felt better about the situation knowing that the people he rescued had already escaped and were on their way to safety. However, he was worried that a fire would start because of all the explosions and burn the area to the ground before they could get far away enough.
-What are you going to do?
-I’m going to destroy everything. Especially that laboratory…
Jaehwang replied in a serious tone. The people in the building could escape by evacuating outside but that was also going to get a dangerous place to be. He was ready to burn the place down and watch his enemies suffer.
