Chapter 105: Explosion At The Corner
Chapter 105: Explosion At The Corner
Ned walked towards the dance floor. The music, earsplitting. He made sure that he was in a spot where there are a lot of people who could see him.
Pete who was already grinding it with a woman was close by. Only his dick was focused on the hot piece of ass. He had to remain alert.
Kin told him that Ned would pass out and that he had to help the guy. He would then have to yell for help. People would surround the two of them and they'd start taking pictures. Kin would then come to them and tell the people that Ned passed out because of a drug inside the drink.
There was, however, a huge doubt in his mind.
'How would this even work? Will the people even believe him?' Pete thought as he grinded with the woman. He had no idea where his friend's confidence came from.
'Ah, what the hell, let's just get this over with.' Pete kept glancing at Ned who was currently dancing alone, in the middle of a few people.
'What's taking so long?' Pete wondered. He thought that from how Ned is dancing, he should have passed out by now.
He slowly slowed down, until he stopped moving his hips. Pete tiptoed to look at the place where they sat a few minutes ago.
He then slightly squinted to see better.
"Hey! Why'd you stop?!" The woman whom he grinded with slightly shouted. The music was loud so she thought that it was necessary to do this.
Pete raised his hand. "Give me one second. I'm trying to look for a friend."
His squinting eyes were on the booth where they sat, but no one was there. Kin disappeared. The booth was now occupied by a group of people and none of them looked anything like Kin.
Pete stopped tiptoeing. His brows furrowed as he turned to Ned. "What th-"
*Boom*
Before he could even finish, a loud explosion sounded. Fire soon followed as the bar in the middle got caught in the explosion. It hit almost everyone on the dance floor including Pete. Bodies flew, blood splattered everywhere, and screams of fear sounded throughout the air together with the loud disco music.
The people at the sides were relatively safe and the building showed no signs of crumbling. However, that did not stop the people in the club from panicking. A tsunami of people rushed to the entrance as fast as quickly as they could.
The people who were in the VIP rooms rushed down. They were all scared shitless. VIP rooms might be soundproof but they are not tremor-proof. The building might not have been destroyed but the explosion made it shake.
There were a number of people who thought that the terrorist groups they have been hearing in the news have come to

Kin sat in his car as he watched the people dashing out of 'The Corner'. There was no smile on his face. He only had a look of seriousness as he watched the people coming out, tripping, being trampled, and sliding down the short staircase with their asses.
He had a look of seriousness, yes, but there was something else deep in his eyes which he tried his best to hide but couldn't. It was guilt. There was guilt in his eyes as he watched the building.
He was never a killer. This was the first time he had a hand in killing someone. Still, he steeled himself.
He hadn't thought of anything else that could possibly stop people from going to 'The Corner'.
'Dad should be 'proud' after he sees this.' Kin thought that his father, Senator Bong would be satisfied with the results.
As for the plan he told Pete and Ned? It was all bullshit. He had never intended on giving Ned money nor was there even a cure pill of some sort that he would feed him.
'I could always make more friends if I wanted to.' He then drove off.
Ambulance and police cars came streaking in the air not even 3 minutes after the explosion.
Healers and police immediately went to work. Healers tended to the people while the police stormed into the club.

Eva who had just finished having dinner with Marcus, Emily, and Nexus received a call.
She accepted it and the voice on the other side, Leo began speaking. He told her about the explosion at 'The Corner' and how it killed dozens of people. He also told her that the media were already there.
Marcus who was nearby scrunched his brows as he listened to Leo talk.
Nexus slammed his fist on the table. "Fucking scums!"
"I'm surprised at how early they made their move." Marcus calmly spoke. He had expected the Strongwald to do something any time this week, but he didn't expect them to actually do it on a Monday.
"That Senator probably couldn't hold it anymore," Emily remembered that the Senator was the most aggressive one of the Strongwald present that night.
Eva nodded. "Nexus and I have done a bit of research on that person. We found out that he owns two drinks and invested in a few clubs all over Estra."
"To actually use explosions, don't you guys think that it's too much for an opening move?" Emily was not a master in these kinds of activities, but she has been with Marcus for a long time in her past life to know that this wasn't a good move.
Nexus shook his head. "You did describe him as someone who is aggressive. Maybe this is how aggressive he can be and he's trying to show us that."
Marcus nodded. "It's either that or this was someone else's plan. Someone who had little experience in these kinds of dealings."
Marcus thought that the Senator was smarter than this. Bong was, after all, one of the leaders of the Strongwald family.
"We should go. The others are waiting for us there." Eva stood up.

Kin arrived back home. He got out of the car and walked towards the front door. A smile was plastered on his face.
He had just accomplished a job without the help of his father, or anyone for that matter. This was his achievement. He did a pretty damn good job at it too, in his opinion.
He walked on the stone pavement and passed a few bushes before he arrived at the small staircase. He walked up and proceeded to the front door.
He opened it, and before he could even step inside, a fireball was coming straight towards him. With no time to dodge, he took the hit and flew a few steps back, tumbling down the stairs.
"You fucking idiot!" A loud shout sounded from the inside.
Senator Bong who wore golden-colored robes floated in the air and arrived outside the main door. His eyes glared at Kin who was on the ground.
"Do you even know what you've done?!" Senator Bong's shout reverberated throughout the villa.
He was called by the person who was tasked to guard Kin in the dark. The person told him that Kin went in 'The Corner' and left after a few minutes.
Senator Bong was happy when he heard that his son was doing the task he ordered him to do, and a bit excited too. He couldn't wait to hear what his son did.
However, what the person said next didn't bring him joy, only anger. He couldn't believe how stupid his son can be.
He clenched his fist and stored his furiousness as he waited for Kin to come home.
Kin slowly looked up. The pain in his body started to worsen. "What?"
He managed to speak in a low voice. He slowly continued. "I did the job. You asked."
"Stupid!" Senator Bong loudly shouted. "I asked you to damage their reputation, not start a war."
He's aware that right now, the owner of Asura knew that the Strongwald family did this. Hell, he thought that the owner of Asura was thinking of him as the main culprit. He was, after all, the one who threatened them.
"I did ruin their reputation!" Kin tried to raise his voice. He couldn't understand why his father reacted like this. The task that was given to him was perfectly accomplished.
He raised his head. He had never felt this indignant before. His eyes met the glaring stare of his father.
"I gave you such a simple job, but you still found a way to mess it up. Wasn't this what you're good at? Causing trouble? Why can't you put that to good use?" Senator Bong's hands were balled into a fist.
"Hahaha," A weak laughter came out of Kin's mouth. "A simple job? A simple job you say, father? If it were that simple then why didn't you do it yourself? Or hired someone else?"
He had been wondering why his father gave him this task when he could have hired people from the outside.
"Hmp, I don't need to explain myself to you!" Senator Bong once again casted a fireball, blasting Kin a few meters away.
