Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 269 Chapter 269: District Thirteen

----------

The scene was broadcasted by various radio stations, making the terrorist attack at Kael Square almost the top news on all major media platforms of Dream City at the moment.

Meanwhile, at the Kael Building, in the office of the executive director on the forty-ninth floor.

William was frowning deeply at the screen. Everything had gone according to his plan, successfully using the Black Fire Gang to disrupt the conference, and even getting rid of Director Allen. Next, the gang was supposed to steal the brand smoothly and then secretly trade with him, allowing him to retrieve it for the company and use this opportunity to ascend to fill the vacant director position on the board.

'But now…'

the camera quickly lenses of various media switched again, this time not to the chaotic crowd on the square, but to an empty black box on the big stage of the conference.

<<Where's the brand? The last of the three-piece series brand that Kael Technology was heavily promoting has disappeared! Was it stolen by the gang in the chaos? Or...>>

<<Brands come from the old era, ancient mysterious powers, so summoning a gigantic mecha out of thin air is also acceptable?>>

<<Wait a second, Saya, since it's a mech, there must be an operator, right? If it's not someone from Kael Technology, could it be that kind of obscure bystander who couldn't stand to watch the crisis unfold and so intervened to help midway?>>

<<Martha, you've been reading too many novels>>

<<No, no, no, Saya, look! We seem to have lost track of that young handsome professor from Sin City I mentioned earlier! Look! What did I say, my fun radar is never wrong, we should have focused the camera on him!>>

<<Stupid Martha, things aren't that coincidental, he might have just been shot and fallen in the chaos>>

Now, many people have realized the brand is missing, thus associating the brand with the mech. The comment sections on various media platforms are exploding with speculation.

With the appearance of the gigantic mech and the dispersion of the Tainted Miasma red mist, the gangsters fleeing in disarray, it seemed like the situation at the square was under control, but no one expected the next moment's aberration to suddenly arise.

"Ugh ah ah ah!"

"What, what the hell"

"Why can't I take off the mask, what is this!"

"I can't remove it... Damn! Ugh ah ah!"

Because the attack on the conference used the Tainted Miasma red mist, the gang members themselves certainly could not be affected, so they all wore protective measures similar to gas masks.

This allowed them to act unimpeded in the Tainted Miasma red mist, however, now that the mist had clearly dissipated, every gang member, just as they were about to flee, was forced to stop. In their masks, a red mist similar to the one before suddenly emerged.

This red mist did not spread but was released in small quantities from inside the masks. Although the amount was not much, the concentration seemed exceptionally high. The gang members realized something was wrong and immediately tried to remove the masks, but the masks seemed to be welded to their heads, impossible to take off.

In just a few seconds, this group of gang members writhing on the ground managed to get up again, and then, instead of running away, they directly turned their weapons towards the gigantic mech.

"Die! All of you die!!"

"Damn the company, die!"

"Blow everything up, ahahaha!"

Hundreds of gang members, each acting as if they had gone mad, began indiscriminate attacks on Kael Square. The situation, which had just stabilized, suddenly became tense again.

…

In the Kael Building, in the office, William couldn't hold back at this scene and picked up the phone to call, wanting to question what exactly the leader of the Black Fire Gang was doing, as he had said the operation could already be ended.

But who would have thought that no one on the Black Fire Gang's side would answer, obviously, something unexpected had happened. If William remembered correctly, the leader of the Black Fire Gang had mentioned that for this operation, they had traded with the Old Alliance to ensure the success of the operation, whether it was the Tainted Miasma missiles or what were supposed to be masks to prevent Tainted Miasma, now turned into contaminated masks.

Many people in front of the TV, like William, were anxious, and the little boy David, sticking close to the TV, kept switching channels until finally, on one channel, he saw the figure of his mother appear on the screen.

His mother appeared to have quite a few scrapes, and her clothes looked much disheveled as if from running intensely, but thankfully she was alright. David had just breathed a sigh of relief when, the next moment, several gangsters on the square actually pulled out handheld rocket launchers and began wildly bombing the surroundings.

Even worse, the drones that had been paralyzed in the sky now seemed to have gone berserk too. One by one, dark gun barrels emerged from underneath the drones, beginning to turn their heads towards the mech, howling as they went, causing explosions one after another.

"No! Quick, dodge! Get away!" David shouted anxiously, but to no effect, he could only watch as his mother was engulfed by the gunfire from the gangsters and drones.

*Boom!*

The ground trembled slightly, not from an explosion, but from the heavy shield of the nun mech, which directly blocked in front of everyone.

The rocket missiles from the gangsters and the sweeping fire from the drones hit this large shield, all of which were as ineffective as scratching an itch. Then, a shining light rose from the mech, a orange-yellow holy light barrier shield instantly enveloped everyone who hadn't managed to run away.

Immediately after, the nun mech began to shrink in size, from originally being as tall as a dozen stories to now about two to three meters tall, with the shield still in front, but the mech's sword in its hand pointed towards the sky.

Then, at the direction pointed by the cross sword, those berserk drones immediately displayed a holy light mark, and the next moment, the mech completed instant teleportation, arriving above the drones, then fiercely thrust the sword downwards with force.

*Boom! Boom!*

Renji, controlling the Bright Leftover Woman, now seemed to transform into a killing mech, targeting not only the drones in the sky but also the gangsters below, lost in the Tainted Miasma.

Renji showed no mercy towards these gangsters, as he found shadows of Mechanical Servant weapons from Dream Zero among many weapons in the hands of the gangsters.

Clearly, the gangsters were able to cause such great destruction also because they had stolen mechanical servant equipment from Dream Zero.

In less than ten minutes, Renji could see, only a few gasping gangsters remained, and in the sky, only the last wobbling drone was left.

This drone was intentionally left by Renji, and then, from inside the mech, the voice of 86 came, indicating she had successfully hacked into the drone.

From the attack to now, about fifteen minutes had passed, and from outside the square, Kael Technology's reinforcements could already be seen, not only that, some from the emergency medical teams, battle nurses, had already arrived at the scene, beginning to protect the insured personnel.

The situation was thoroughly stabilized, and with the response from 86, Renji took the opportunity, while the few gangsters already frightened by the mech returned to terror, to fire another rocket at themselves. Amidst the smoke and the explosion's glare, he deactivated the mech form.

Of course, to outsiders, it appeared as if the mech, having exhausted its energy, was hit by a shell at the last moment in order to protect the crowd behind it.

Afterward, Renji, taking advantage of the smoke, flashed in front of these gangsters, and the drone controlled by 86 quickly descended. Renji pulled the remaining gangsters onto the plane, which rapidly ascended, the engines at full power, and in a few blinks, took these remaining gangsters far away, disappearing from sight.

And on the plane, Renji was now pointing a gun at a few trembling gangsters.

"Alright, now you've successfully kidnapped me and stolen the brand, so according to your plan, where's the next step taking place? District Thirteen?"
