Chapter 252 - Part One: Killing Darius Case

(From MC Perspective)

The Crowd looks disappointed by hearing Zack's answer. Even Darius frowns looking at his face, he didn't expect this answer.

Seeing the crowd's reactions, I commented, "What? Don't forget that the competition is still going on? It's a felony to reveal the content of the competition."

When I said that realization dawned upon them. But they didn't treat it seriously. Among their friends and teammates they discussed the monster's secrecy. But it doesn't matter at all, because they are all lower level floors.

Even if they leak it somehow, it isn't going to make a huge change. But the content of the higher level monsters is the real deal. It is sought by every organisation.

Who knows it may come helpful for their next generation? So, they like to collect information about that.

So, the purpose of Darius Case was exactly like that. Even if he likes to hear about it, it isn't going to get him a penny unless he shares with his organisation. Seeing that Zack is very careful on this matter. He is utterly displeased.

Shaking my head, I begin to go through the room.

The crowd also continues their work. The only person left behind is Darius Case. His expression condensed a little. He doesn't want to miss this chance.

He knew his organisation sees Zack as an important threat. A hint of greed flashes in front of his eyes. He will expose Zack's current whereabouts to his organisation. In his mind he already begins to think about the set of rewards he is going to receive.

To gain additional rewards he needs to gain additional information about Zack. Its best not to tell his teammates about him now.

He suddenly dashed forward behind Zack to stop him getting away from this place.

Alternatively,

"Sigh" Most of the rooms here are locked. And unlocked rooms were empty and clean. I bet the unlocked rooms were for participants to stay. " Should I contact the admin?" I mumbled under my breath.

Suddenly, a shadow flashes in front of me.

I halted my footsteps seeing that person. What does he want? He is the same one who asked me a question earlier. Who is he anyway?

Darius Case smiled and said, "Hi, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Darius Case from the Crimson Hall."

When he said that, I didn't show a change in my expression. I maintained an indifferent expression. But in my heart, I already considered this person dead. I am always wary of starting away from hostile forces.

But who would have thought someone from Crimson Hall find me first. I have vague feeling in my heart this guy definitely has some ulterior motive. Then why does he too want to find me? And his earlier question about top floor is also bugging me?

So, I simply nodded my head in reply. I didn't introduce myself since he already knows me. I'm going to play some trick here. Let's see if he follows me or not. If he does then I don't have any choice except to kill him.

After nodding at him, I choose to drop my current plan and I walk straight towards the exit. I'm going to leave the Star Tower Zone for a while and find some isolated area.

Darius' face distorts seeing the response from Zack. He couldn't believe this guy didn't even budge even after mentioning his organisation name. Didn't he know that Crimson Hall is several times higher than Hansen campus.

He clenched his fists in anger. Seeing him walking away, he thought about the rewards he is going to get by selling out this person. Then he slowly calmed down himself.

He already decided to follow this person secretly. He wants to collect his current location. It must be some kind of inn or guest house. After pondering it, he slowly starts to follow him without exposing him greatly.

Alternatively,

To track this fellow, I activated my perpetual ability soon after an area more than 10 meters range came under my perception. This fellow Darius is well within my range. He casually followed behind me. He maintains a distance of 8 meters away from me. I smirked thinking that my earlier assumption was correct.

Since my first assumption was correct that he has an ulterior motive. Now I need to find whether he had called his companions or not. Since, he doesn't know my destination. It's less likely for that to happen.

So, in order to make sure I plan to walk for a while rather than picking up an air cab or other transport. Since the streets are not crowded that much. Pedestrians were pretty much visible to the eyes.

Seeing that Zack is not taking any cabs for his travel. Darius was confused a bit. Then seeing Zack's calm walking pace he raced his doubt. "Since he is well within my eyesight. It's good anyway." He said to himself.

A 15 minutes later,

I smiled seeing that there is no one following me beside me. Looks like this fellow is really ambitious. He is causally following behind me. Well it saves me a lot of trouble. Then I immediately thought of my next plan. It is to find an isolated alley.

For that I accessed the city map.

The patrol guard's numbers are already reduced in half. So all of them are stationed in important locations. I can easily finish this person in an isolated area. Before that I better need to collect information from him. It will be helpful to Elder and Mr. Jonathan.

After going through the city map, I found several isolated places away from the range of Patrolling Posts. Somewhere hard to reach due to current lock down. If I continue to walk without any destination. It will raise suspicion. I already decided to end him. So, I can't walk anymore.

After selecting a suitable isolated area which is quite away from the patrolling post, I deliberately walked towards the air cab landing stations. It will give a chance to Darius to follow me further. In my perception I saw Darius is still maintaining the same space as me.. After confirming it, I increased my pace.
