BXBX NOVEL Chapter 548 - Chase 3
Chapter 548: Chase 3
Wanda was staying at a large estate. Junhyuk, who was flying on the J-02, contacted Elise.
“You are headed to a paper company called Light. It has ties to the Rockefeller family.”
“It’s pretty much certain then.”
Junhyuk focused on flying. The J-02 was much faster than he had expected. Junhyuk was flying with the wind, so he was going even faster. He ducked as he approached the estate.
After reaching his destination, Junhyuk used his spatial sense to search the inside of the inside of the structure. There were a total of thirty people inside.
Junhyuk entered and kept his spatial sense up in order to distinguish the gender of those inside. However, he still needed to see the face of the women to find Wanda.
Knowing that Wanda was in there, Junhyuk did not mind wreaking havoc around the compound. He took the J-02 inside, and when they saw him, the guards pointed their weapons at him. Junhyuk swung Dentra’s Magic Sword at them, and a fierce wind blast pounded against them all.
The guards fell unconscious without making any noise. After Junhyuk broke the windows to enter the building, two energy blasts flew toward him.
He knew that the blasts were powers, so he teleported. The enemies’ powers smashed against where he had been standing, and Junhyuk lengthed Aksha’s Longsword to restrain the opponents.
With that single attack, he sliced two arms and two legs off. It was a refined strike.
Junhyuk didn’t care for the fallen. All that mattered was chasing after Wanda. He teleported and appeared in front of his target, but when he saw her, he was surprised.
The woman called Wanda was an expert.
She attacked him immediately after spotting him. An ice spear flew toward him, but Junhyuk used his sword shield. The ice spear shattered after hitting the sword shield, and Junhyuk approached her.
Wanda tried to use her second power, but Junhyuk was faster. He kicked low and broke her shins. Then, he grabbed her by the neck and headbutted her.
Thunk!
After Wanda passed out, Junhyuk carried her to the J-02. He didn’t care about the others. Once he got back to the proper place, he used the teleportation device to return to South Korea.
Junhyuk placed Wanda on the floor and turned to Elise, who inspected Wanda’s face and said, “That’s Wanda, the one who works for the Rockefellers.”
“We need to know if the Rockefeller family is behind this.”
Elise nodded and asked, “What if they are? What are you going to do?”
“Whoever is responsible will stand trial, and their assets will be seized and divided among the families of the novices who lost their lives in the attack.”
“Are you planning on destroying the Rockefeller family?”
“I can do that.”
Elise took a moment to think before saying, “The economic fallout will be big, but we can do it.”
Junhyuk nodded and picked up Wendell, saying, “I’ll interrogate her in the training facility.”
“I’ll send iron soldier to her estate to arrest those who are still there.”
“Please.”
Junhyuk entered the training facility and woke up Wanda. He slapped her lightly, and she opened her eyes. She immediately tried to bite her tongue, but Junhyuk held her jaw open.
She was trying to kill herself, so normal interrogation tactics would not work. Junhyuk headbutted her again, and she passed out once more. Then, he contacted Gongon.
“What’s up?”
“I need to extract a confession from someone, but the person won’t talk. Do you know of any ways to do it?”
Gonngon laughed and replied, “You can’t be great at everything. Just invite me over.”
Junhyuk did so, and Gongon looked at Wanda and asked, “Are the questions for her?”
Junhyuk nodded, and Gongon extended his claw toward the woman. A water bubble splashed against Wanda’s face.
She tried to bite her tongue again, but Gongon’s eyes turned red, and the dragon commanded, “Stop!”
Wanda froze, and her eyes turned vacant. Junhyuk realized just how powerful Gongon could be. She was an expert, but Gongon was in complete command of her.
“What did you do?”
“I restrained her with the dragon’s tongue. Normal humans can’t endure our tongue. They have to be at least a champion to resist.”
Junhyuk stared at Wanda and asked, “Can I ask her anything?”
“Answer all of Junhyuk’s questions.”
Wanda nodded, so Junhyuk pulled out his smartphone and started recording.
“Wanda, you were behind the terrorist attack, correct?”
She nodded, so Junhyuk continued, “Who gave you the order to do it?”
“Aaargh!”
She had been about to answer when she screamed loudly and squirmed across the ground.
“What?! What’s going on?”
“I forgot about this. The powered people behind the terrorist attack feel unimaginable pain when they try to reveal the name of the mastermind. They don’t die, but the pain is too much for them.”
“Yeah?”
Gongon gave her a light kick, and Wanda lay still on the floor. The dragon looked into her eyes and said, “There is a special pattern weaved into her. It’s not magic, but it controls her consciousness.”
“Can we find out who set it?”
“There will be side effects?”
“Side effects?”
“If it goes wrong, she’ll die. If not, she’ll probably be lobotomized.”
Junhyuk knew that the consequences were serious, but he didn’t have any evidence to push the investigation. He couldn’t just stop at Wanda.
Gongon laughed and said, “Should we try something else?”
“Like what?”
Gongon grabbed the woman’s head, and light poured out of his hand and into her eyes, which rolled back.
“This way, she’ll probably lose some of her cognition,” Gongon explained.
“I don’t know what to do.”
“Listen carefully. She’ll lose herself, and only patterns will remain after. Start asking her simple questions now.”
Gongon held her head with both of his tiny claws.
“Who is your master?”
Wanda’s eyes rolled in her head, and she answered, “My master is Charles Rockefeller.”
Junhyuk scowled, and Gongon turned to him, asking, “Do you know him?”
“Yes.”
“Then, it’s over.”
Gongon let go of the woman, and she fell.
“When she wakes up, she’ll have full cognition, but she’ll have lost the memories of the past ten years. This is a light outcome.”
“Thanks.”
Gongon chuckled and waved at Junhyuk, saying, “Whenever you have a problem that you can’t solve, I’ll help.”
Gongon left, and Junhyuk looked at Wanda, picked her up and left the facility.
Looking at Wanda, Elise asked, “Did you find anything out?”
Junhyuk nodded and answered, “Charles Rockefeller ordered the attack.”
“Any evidence?”
“Gongon helped me, so it won’t stand up in court. But now that we know who did it, I’ll go apprehend him. See if you can find some evidence of his involvement.”
“We can follow his money.”
“OK. Let me borrow five iron soldiers. I’ll go get him. Find me a location for Charles.”
“Wait a sec.” Elise touched Zaira, and immediately after, she said, “I found him. He’s in New York, at a charity fundraiser.”
Elise flew the five iron soldiers in, and Junhyuk took them with him, using the teleportation device to cross over to the United States.
New York had a standing teleportation device within the city, so from there, he got on the J-02 and flew with the iron soldiers to the location of the charity event. It was at a penthouse, and the security guards were shocked when they saw him approach.
Junhyuk went straight toward Charles Rockefeller, but he frowned when he saw the man. He was an expert now, but previously, Charles had not had any powers. That Charles had activated two powers within that time frame was hard to believe.
He stared at the man and said, “Charles.”
“What’s wrong?” Charles’ eyes were different from before.
“Who are you?”
“Don’t you know who I am?! Why are you here?”
Junhyuk chuckled and walked up to Charles, extending his hand toward the man. He knew Charles was an expert now. He reached for him, grabbing the man’s hair and slamming him against the floor. Junhyuk was releasing him killing intent, so the people around started to run.
Junhyuk whispered into Charles’ ear, “Think hard and answer me. Charles Rockefeller is suspected of orchestrating a terrorist attack. He’ll either rot in jail or be executed, and all of his assets will be seized.”
The five iron soldiers acted as a wall around them, so nobody could get close. The man gulped, and Junhyuk said, “This is your last chance. Who are you?”
“My name is Bill Rockefeller.”
“OK, Bill. This is your power. Where is Charles?”
“My uncle is at... Aaaargh!”
Right as Bill was about to speak about Charles, he fell to the ground in pain. Whoever tried to say the name of the mastermind experienced the same thing.
Junhyuk wanted to ask for Gongon’s help, but he called Elise instead.
“The guy was Bill Rockefeller, Charles’ nephew. He has the ability to change shape. We need to reopen the search.”
“I’ll get on it.”
“I’m bringing Bill in.”
“Sure.”
Junhyuk grabbed Bill and used the teleportation device to get back to HQ. There, he smiled coldly and said, “Now, we’re sure. It’s Charles Rockefeller.”
