Chapter 219: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 22

BOOM!

A loud explosion sounded as the entire steel air duct above everyone's head got blasted into pieces.

Parts of the air duct started raining everywhere, causing everyone to instinctively choose to prioritize protecting themselves.

Bang!historical

Boom!

Bang!

Along with the parts of the air duct that fell were the Drowsy Mushrooms that Kayn's group had spread almost everywhere falling down to the floor.

"Drowsy Mushrooms!"

One of the most cautious guests present immediately warned everyone.

Upon hearing the existence of Drowsy Mushrooms, everyone's face instantly changed to a look of horror.

Seemingly in an instant, everyone took out a mask to cover their noses and mouth in hopes of preventing themselves from inhaling the drowsy toxic mist.

That's right, people brought masks with them. It wasn't that they expected something like this to happen, again. It is just that after hearing what happened to Chief Kylo, everyone thought of bringing a mask with them to protect themselves from the dangers the Drowsy Mushrooms could bring.

Just like what everyone expected, the drowsy toxic mist that had built up quite densely inside the air duct quickly spread everywhere the instant the barrier preventing it from entering the ballroom got blasted into pieces.

The worse part is, the thick layer of smoke that was created from extinguishing the flame seemingly puffed out everywhere along with the explosion in the air duct.

Unlike the drowsy toxic mist where it is still possible to see their surrounding, the thick layer of smoke from the fire doesn't. Hence, everyone's vision became limited.

With their limited vision, it made everyone think only about saving themselves, especially the guards of the guest as they changed their priority to protecting their masters instead of cooperating with everyone to stop the chaos.

Using the smoke and the drowsy toxic mist as cover, Kayn's group entered the ballroom from the bathroom.

"Start dancing everyone!" Kayn ordered.

In an instant, cries of pain sounded as the guests and their guards started being killed one by one inside the smoke.

The sound of bodies dropping to the ground was soon heard, and not long after, the names of the supposed perpetrators behind the deaths got called out.

"Simon, don't do this!"

"Eric, stop! Please spare me, Eric! I know that I offended you, but it was all in the past! Ahhh! Eric!"

"Crystal, no!"

After hearing those screams, everyone instantly realized that this entire place has now become the best opportunity to execute their revenge.

As one already knows, the Assembly of Freedom is an organization where all despicable, guilty, vengeful, unreasonable, and villainous people gather together. And with their character, it is very easy to guess that they've probably made enemies almost everywhere, which includes people within their group.

Now, what would happen if ever they are presented with the best opportunity to enact their payback for those who wronged them?

It's quite obvious already what that would bring about.

Chaos!

As soon as the flame of revenge was lit up, everyone immediately followed suit as they quickly looked for the people that they wanted to eliminate for what they'd done to them in the past.

Contrary to the majority of people, the actual members of the Assembly of Freedom quickly retreated to the stairs that led to the second floor of the ballroom. There were already some of their allies there who luckily escaped from the chaos.

Wesley specifically ordered all the Executives to protect Chief Kylo and the unknown woman and also to watch the stairs so that nobody would try to enact revenge on them.

As for those people that already retreated to the second floor the instant the chaos broke out, Wesley took special note of them as they are those that don't harbor any ill intent toward the Assembly of Freedom.

"This is very familiar," Chief Kylo can't help chuckling while watching the chaotic sight. "Those people down there should be Kayn's group,"

"Kayn? As in the thieving group that stole the Kingmaker from you?" Wesley felt surprised.

"This was the same thing they did to me during the auction event. Air duct and Drowsy Mushrooms. I will never forget about that," Chief Kylo has carved the scene that happened to him deep inside his memory so that no matter how old he is, he will always remember it.

"Please remind me next time to only hold parties and special events at places where there are no air ducts around," Wesley can't help rolling his eyes. "Anyways, what do they want this time?"

Hearing that, Chief Kylo can't help glimpsing at the staff his partner is carrying with her. "Store the key in your Storage Ring. I believe that's what they intend to steal from us,"

"Understood," The unknown woman responded with a soft voice.

As soon as the staff was stored inside the Storage Ring, Jude immediately informed everyone that the key has disappeared.

"Everyone, retreat!" Kayn didn't hesitate to order.

Without any hesitation, Gilbert, Jude, Charles, Jericho, Jadiel, and Randy retreated to the bathroom.

"Time to go for plan B," Kayn informed everyone of their adjustment.

"Okay," Jericho nodded his head before signaling for Jude and Jadiel to come with him.

The trio quickly separated from the main group as they made their way to the stairway where the Executives of the Assembly of Freedom are positioned.

"Damn it!" Jericho got out of the smoke and revealed his presence to the Assembly of Freedom. "I was invited for a ball, not a massacre,"

"Chairman Jericho, please don't let your guard down," Jadiel quickly raised his shield to block an incoming dagger. That dagger was something that Kayn had hurled at them in order to make their action more believable.

Clang!

"I know," Jericho turns around before starting to shoot blindly toward the smoke with his gun. "Die, die, die! How dare all of you fall for this stupid scheme!"

"Air Blast!" Jude cast.

Boom!

A wide area nearby them was instantly cleared out from the thick smoke.

In the next moment, as if the mages of the Assembly of Freedom got inspired by Jude, dozens of <<Air Blast>> spells were cast in order to clear all the smoke.

"Chairman Jericho," Wesley quickly approaches Jericho. "I am glad to see that you're safe and sound,"
