Chapter 141: Lord Minister
He said, "If you continue to fight on, I am going to kill you too."
Mace stopped in his tracks and asked, "Wait, are you going to kill Rusty?"
"Of course, I am going to kill him. I am going to take my time killing him."
He said in a deep tone, his voice booming all over the collapsed room, "How fucking dare you bring my aunt here?" He looked at Rusty, who was on the ground and continued, "This fucking piece of shit dared to lay his hands on her. He will pay for what he's done." Mace's eyes filled with rage as he clenched his fists.
Mace then shouted, "You are only one, and you think you can act as you wish with your abilities."
"You arrogant bastard!" he roared and then jumped towards Jaegar.
He turned back to see Francesca and asked her, "Where did you bring this fucking monster brat from?"
She didn't reply as her gaze focused on Jaegar.
Laason and Brighton, high-ranking members of the sinister organization, arrived on the scene. They observed Jaegar's actions with astonishment. They have seen the debris, and Rusty has fallen to the ground, defeated.
Francesca thought Jaegar was actually speaking the truth, and she believed he would really kill them. She quickly came into the room and said, "Don't kill them."
Jaegar looked at her and said, "Fuck off."
His aunt gasped at seeing that man jump at Jaegar. She was happy that he came to save her, but she was growing anxious and couldn't help but worry about what they would do to him if he continued to fight against them.
With a fierce determination in his eyes, he decided to unleash his power. He focused his energy, drawing the purple mist around him into a concentrated form and shaping it into a deadly spear.
With a swift and fluid motion, Jaegar hurled the spear towards Mace. The projectile sliced through the air with deadly precision, aimed directly at Mace's massive form. In a matter of seconds, the spear struck its target.
Mace, caught off guard by this unexpected attack, let out a deafening roar of pain as the spear pierced through his iron-like body. The spear struck near his abdomen; it came out of his body, making a hole, and then crashed on the wall, making it explode.
Mace fell to the ground, clutching his abdomen, and blood trickled down. His form began to destabilize, reverting to his normal state.
Brighton, who had become furious, then shouted, "Laason, call all the forces. I want everyone here right now."
Laason obeyed his order and called for the men around, sending distress calls.
Diana, who heard the man, grew increasingly worried. She knew that Jaegar's actions could provoke a violent response from the organization. With a tremor in her voice, she called out to Jaegar, urging him to reconsider.
"Jaegar, please, stop this," Diana pleaded, her eyes filled with concern. She understood the danger they were all in, and she feared the consequences of Jaegar's bold defiance.
Jaegar remained defiant, his gaze locked onto Brighton, who had just arrived with Laason. The tension in the room was apparent as Brighton continued to berate Jaegar.
"You should consider the opportunity we are giving you as a golden chance. To work for his majesty, to serve him, would be your greatest salvation."
His tone was cold as he continued, "You, who were born as devil spawns, are a black mark to the society we live in. We are giving you a chance to cleanse your sins, and yet you act arrogant and devious." Brighton's voice was stern and unwavering. He regarded Jaegar with a cold, calculating gaze.
"How devilish of you," Brighton concluded, his voice dripping with contempt.
"What the fuck are you on about?" Jaegar said with a defiant smirk.
Laason, who was standing beside Jaegar, was infuriated and retorted, "You impudent brat! Do you know who you are talking to?"
"No, and I don't care," he brushed him off lazily.
As the tension in the room escalated, suddenly, Mia and Jack appeared seemingly out of nowhere, standing resolutely beside Jaegar. Their unexpected presence took everyone by surprise.
Brighton's cold demeanor faltered for a moment as he demanded, "Who are you?"
Mia met Brighton's gaze with a confident expression. She replied, her voice unwavering, "We are also the devil spawns you spoke of."
Jaegar watched them both with confusion. He hasn't seen them before.
Francesca knew who they were, as she had tried to recruit them before but failed to do so.
The room was now filled with an air of uncertainty as the standoff continued, and Diana, growing increasingly worried, pleaded with Jaegar to stop this confrontation.
But Jaegar's anger still hasn't subsided. He told her to stay calm and assured her that nothing would happen.
Soon, the military soldiers and elite soldiers of the primal atoll gathered around the room. They were all loaded with guns and aimed at Jaegar.
Francesca and the two men moved back.
Jaegar then said, "You people should move too. It's going to get bloody in here."
Seeing his serious expression, Mia and Jack looked at each other. With a final nod from him, Mia and Jack moved aside with Diana, taking cover.
"Now, let's see what you can do with your forces." Jaegar said it with a smile on his face.
Brighton was actually surprised to see Jaegar being composed. He said, "You are really arrogant."
"Men, I want all of you to shoot at him and fill his body with bullets," he issued his command.
With that, Brighton issued the command to open fire. The soldiers and elite fighters unleashed a hail of bullets, filling the room with the deafening roar of gunfire.
In response, Jaegar's powers came to life. The purple mist that surrounded him swirled and condensed, forming a protective shield that blocked every bullet fired in his direction. The projectiles impacted the mist, only to disintegrate harmlessly, leaving Jaegar untouched.
