I Am the Ruler of All

Jonas was still shooting at the door. All the Coliree Island warriors were wearing gas masks, crouching outside as they waited for the chance to enter. Jonas was just wasting his bullets for nothing. A round of shooting later, silence returned to the warehouse. Hades made a gesture, and the ambush team slowly infiltrated the warehouse, walking along the walls.

At the same time, Karl crawled out of the secret door in the back. The moment he tasted fresh air, he took big gulps and kept retching. A minute later, he calmed down and looked back at the rumbling warehouse. He muttered, "I'll tell them about your heroic deed once I return to the empire, Jonas." He coughed. "The emperor will grant you the greatest honor for a warrior."

"You won't get that chance," someone said coldly. Karl could feel a gun pressed against his temple.

He shivered in fear and raised his hands. "I surrender. Don't kill me!"

Kingsley knocked his head with the gun and told the warrior beside him, "Tie him up and take him back to HQ."

"Yes, sir!" The warriors obliged and went to tie Karl up. The man had already frozen up.

At the same time, Hades and his team had already apprehended Jonas, though he did resist a little. Jonas' right arm was shot in the process, but he was not severely injured. Kingsley looked at the apprehended spies and asked, "Found anything, Hades?"

"Nothing of value, Ares. Only a crate of weapons and a laptop filled with porn. Nothing else," Hades reported coolly. "This is just a fake base. We were tricked!"

Kingsley frowned. "Take the laptop back and have the technicians check on it. See if they can find anything. And—"

Before he could finish, they heard an explosion happening in a nearby house, and smoke billowed into the air.

"Dammit! The real bigshot's there!" Hades cursed. He quickly said, "We should capture him right now, Ares."

Kingsley's face fell. "Too late. He set off that bomb as a way to tell us he's already escaped."

"Dammit! These Sweoyan b*stards are cunning as f*ck!" Hades was furious. Just when they thought they finally found the administrator's address, it turned out to be bait. The real bigshot even set off a bomb to rub it in their faces. This is personal now. Hades clenched his fists. "Once I get my hands on that b*stard, I'll make him regret everything he did."

"He's going to switch bases after tonight, and the guy's going to strengthen his firewall." Kingsley frowned. "Keep in touch with The Anonymous and tell them to find out where that spy's server is. This is an important character, and we must capture him ASAP."
