Chapter 237 First Wave Of Chaos
Lank began to suspect what he could mean with that, "that would mean...?"
Obsidian pulled him by the neck, "don't you get it? I'm gonna destroy a few of these precious jars of the organization."
Lank's eyes widened at his words, if they were to do that, there were bound to be issues even if they were to destroy a few.
"You can't be serious." Lank felt reluctant to go through with it.
"I am dead serious," Obsidian laughed and released his grip on Lank's neck, took the elixir from the sphere, and shoved it into Lank's pocket.
He realized that if Lank wasn't going to join in, he wouldn't pressure him to do so as this was one of his wish fulfillment.
"Why don't you step outside while I take care of this?" Obsidian said with a mocking tone.
Lank slowly walked back and did as he was told.
These jars could only break if a great amount of force was exerted. His eyes focused on the metallic wall–the perfect place to experiment.
Materializing the tentacles from behind, he picked up 6 jars with them and threw them against the wall which set off the alarm.
Wi! Wi! Wi!
Lank gasped in shock at what was going on, he didn't expect an alarm to be set up inside the chamber.
"Get the hell out of there!" He hollered for Obsidian to hurry as the door was closing.
Seeing he didn't react immediately, he sprinted and held the lock stile before it could close.
After Obsidian had broken a few more, he dashed out and jumped through the space left, just in time before the door slipped out of Lank's grip and slammed shut.
Lank lay on the ground hyperventilated and trying to catch his breath. "You knew about the alarm, didn't you?"
Obsidian crouched over and laughed it off, "this whole building got its alarm, all you got to know is what makes it tick."
Lank got up immediately, remembering they couldn't stay there. "We gotta go!"
Obsidian continued laughing, playing his panic as nothing. "Relax, I know a shortcut, only I know about that."
Pulling Lank by the wrist, he led him towards the wall.
Bang!
"F*cking damnit!" Lank cursed when he knocked into the side of a table.
Bang!
He let out another curse when he crashed into a chair.
"Hmmm, you seem to be blind in here, does anything matter?" Obsidian pretended to be concerned about what Lank was going through.
In reality, he had intentionally led Lank into that furniture while he swiftly avoided them in the nick of time, with Lank facing the said furniture.
"I can't see in the dark?! You got some nerve!" Lank pulled up his sleeve, ready for a brawl.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, they are already on their way." Obsidian rolled his eyes and continued leading them towards the wall.
This time, Lank had quick reflexes and never fell for the trick twice.
"We're here!" Obsidian announced with a smile.
"That's a goddamn wall," Lank hissed, pulling his hand away in disappointment. "Have you stayed in the chamber so long that you can't even see in the dark anymore?!"
Obsidian shook his head and smiled, "you underestimate my actions."
Without saying another word, he placed his hand on a particular brick, pushing it.
The wall trembled slightly before it began to open up.
Lank jumped back in shock at what he witnessed. Pulling himself together when he saw Obsidian walk in made him dash in with him when he picked up approaching steps several feet away.
Closing up immediately Lank had entered, the bricks rearranged and stilled.
Slam!
Sesa rushed into the room, she was wearing a fishnet top that revealed her lace bra. On the top, she's wearing a stylish silver thin striped vest with one button, it has a deep v-line, which causes the jacket to slant slightly to the side.
Her pants have the same pattern as the jacket, but a different, complementary color and they make an ideal combination with her ankle-strapped shoe.
Pushing back her hair, she squinted her eyes in the dark, realizing she couldn't see for the time.
Activating the glow in her yellow eyes, she could finally get a dim picture of what was in the dark. Her chest heaving after looking to her right to see the chamber securely closed.
'Could it have been just in my imagination?' she wondered, slowly walking close to the door.
Placing her hand on the fingerprint scanner, she watched in horror as the door rejected her fingerprint.
"What?!" She exclaimed and kicked at the door.
At first, she wondered if it was Zhao that had set off the alarm, there was no way anyone would know of the vault's existence, this was strictly off visiting zones.
Taking a step back she frowned at the new development. Her master wouldn't be pleased, nor would the culprit who trespass go unpunished.
Coming from behind was Arion. "Miss Sesa..."
He screeched to a stop when he couldn't see and began to panic.
"Miss Sesa... Why is this place too dark? What is this place?" He questioned, looking for anything he could hold on to.
Sesa rolled her eyes and watched as he walked to her right.
Bang!
"Ugh!" Arion groaned in pain when he walked into a wall and bounced back and onto the floor.
Finally getting a bit of satisfaction from what she had seen, she took strides toward him.
The only thing Arion could see was the glow in her eyes as she approached. "Miss Sesa!"
'Here we go again.' Sesa thought in frustration, she didn't understand why they had made Arion be her assistant, but could only endure his annoying questions and presence.
Picking him up from the floor, she pulled him closer to herself. His face came crashing into her bust.
"Mmmhmm." He hummed and grabbed a hold of the right.
Smack!
"You silly brat now is not the time for such distraction!" She snapped and pulled him away.
She folded her arms and looked away. Even though they were still in the dark, she looked around for possible clues on how either Mr. Zhao or anyone might have gotten in, let alone see in the room before getting into the chamber.
She spotted a portal opening and in it came her master.
He's wearing a standard shirt with a few buttons opened to give off a casual yet elegant look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a trendy black vest with 6 buttons, it has a deep v-line, which causes the vest to remain hidden when the suit's jacket is buttoned up.
The jacket perfectly wraps around his body. It has a tight herringbone pattern which gives the suit a more formal and elegant look. The 6 buttons of his double-breasted jacket are all buttoned up except for one, a subtle touch of nonchalance that works perfectly.
The jacket is longer at the back, it has a vent at the back, there are two pockets on one side and one pocket on the other.
He's wearing pants that copy the style of the jacket, both in color and pattern and they make an ideal combination with his shoes. He's wearing a fancy pair of moc toe penny loafers.
Sesa freaked out with the sudden appearance of her master on the scene. She dropped face down to the floor in a bow.
Arion could hear the sound and gasp of his mentor and was worried that he couldn't see who or what could have caused that.
It wasn't until he could spot blue glowing eyes, that he wanted to comment on how that had looked a bit similar to Nix's but began to see his vision clouded.
"Miss Sesa, what's going..."
Thud!
He dropped to the floor unconscious.
Sesa trembled when she heard the sound of Arion drop. "I-I swear, I didn't set off the alarm, it must be Zhao! I couldn't even access the door."
The master tilted his head and had a devilish smirk on his lips. He had his hands in his pocket and stared at Sesa.
Sesa's heartbeat quickened at the sound of her master approaching. Then the sound stopped and so did her heart skip a beat.
"You expect me to believe that bullshit!" He barked.
Sesa jumped back in shock to his reaction, pushing back and crawling away. Tears trailed down her eyes. She wasn't at fault.
'Zhao and I are the keepers of the chamber, there is no one else who could have known about this place, it must be Zhao!' Sesa repeated in her thoughts like a mantra.
Looking behind him, he stared at the door and contemplated his next actions. His frown only increased when he began to contemplate the possibility that it could be Zhao.
