Chapter 253 - Part Two: Killing Darius Case
( From MC Perspective)
After getting into the cab, I directed the driver to a nearby town as my destination. From there I will go to an isolated area by foot. And also I advised the driver to drive slowly. So that Darius can catch up to me.
The Cab driver shows a strange reaction to his request. Yet since he is a customer, he refrain himself from making any comment on his request. After agreeing, he begins to drive the cab slowly.
Darius Case on the other hand saw Zack is picking up a cab. "Finally, this bas**rd is going to his home." Darius is grunted in anger. He almost got overwhelmed from his own anger.
He really suspects something is wrong with Zack Lockwood' head. He is walking aimlessly without any destination. Seeing that happening, he almost exploded in anger and wanted to confront him directly and gather intel from his own mouth.
He knows both Zack and himself were both at Initial Special Trainee. Yet his own record is far away from Zack number one ranking. But he feels that it has nothing to do with power level. He suspects ZCk has higher end artefact with him.
Seeing that the Cab is getting away from the place. He hesitated for a moment. He ponders what happens if Zack used his artefact against him. It will be dangerous. Then he comforted himself then snorted, I'm just going to find his home's location. Then I will return back to my place. "What a No.1 rank holder. Soon, He is going to be dead anyway" Darius sneered.
After making up his mind, he increased his speed towards the cab stations. He worries that Zack's cab will fly away from his eyesight. He releases his full strength to increase the pace. After taking a few steps he reached the cab landing stations. His sudden burst of strength caught the cab driver in surprise. But no one is foolish enough to offend this person.
After hopping into the cab, Darius urged the can driver to follow in the northern direction. The air cab slowly floated and flew towards the northern direction. Right now, there is no shadow of Zack's cab. Darius' face distorts, "Damn it!" He cursed out loud.
"Sir!" Darius' voice startled the driver.
Hearing that Darius told him to accelerate the speed he needs to catch someone in that direction.
A couple of seconds later,
"Hmmm" Darius was taken back.
"Slow down!" He urges the driver immediately slow down the speed
The other hand, the driver cursed himself to meet with bad fortune today. "What is wrong with kids these days?" He feels over training made Darius's mind unstable. He wasn't able to make the right decision. Fear of his strength, the driver didn't voice out his inner thoughts.
Darius breathed in relief spotting Zack's cab. But after a while he observed the speed of his cab was slower than usual. He knitted his eyebrow in confusion. But he decided to follow him anyway.
A few minutes later,
Zack's cab landed at a town. Seeing that Darius frowns, "Why is he landing here?"
Then he gestures to his driver as well. Darius begins to ponder. This town is faraway from Star Tower Zone and on top of it this town doesn't have any facilities. Then an idea came to his mind. He believes that to stay away from the enemy their campus must have chosen this spot. Thinking that he sneered.
He suddenly became happy that their plans were going to be blown away. Zack started to walk away after landing, seeing that he too began to follow. Suddenly, his watch buzzes with notification. It's a call from Robb Williamson. Seeing that he ended the call immediately.
He guessed Robb's intention. He must be eager to know about my Intel. I fooled him earlier by telling him that I'm going to take a walk. Now he must be suspecting me. Shaking his head Darius continues to follow Zack.
Alternatively,
After stepping out of the cab, I walk towards the isolated area. This town doesn't have any operating patrol posts. The population of this town is very low. This place will be the perfect place to execute him. Then I ponder about those cab drivers. They will be the two loopholes left in this plan.
I bet after killing Darius someone will investigate this matter and track the details, "What to do?" I begin to murmur. Then shaking my head, I'm going to stick with my heart. I'm not going to kill those drivers. If they really want revenge then I can seek help from my teacher.
A ten minutes later,
After arriving at an isolated area. I looked around and found two old houses. Looking at their state and growing weeds around them. I know no one is living there. So, I walked towards the house to trap the enemy.
Darius on the other hand slowly reaches the area by following Zack. He has a bad promotion all of a sudden that things are not going to end well for him. Yet seeing.
He observed the area, other than two houses the area is pretty much barren. He saw Zack walking up here, "Where did he go now?" He said to himself. Then his eyes set on those two houses.
If he can confirm Zack's location right now, he can walk away from here. But before that he needs to make sure of his presence now. So, he slowly walked towards the house.
The other hand, Seeing Darius took the bait. I smiled and held my breath. I knew he would make sure of my presence now. I saw him instead of stepping into the house, he slowly walked around the area. He is glancing at the window.
Seeing his action, I smirked and decided to confront him now. "Why are you here?" I asked as I appeared in front of him suddenly.
Darius got startled, "I made a grave mistake here. I shouldn't have investigated the house"
Seeing Zack's face he doesn't know what to say now.. Even if he says anything it's hard to convince him.
