RE: Perverted Sugar Daddy System-Chapter 248: Walk Through

With Betty by my side, we advanced towards the building.

Reaching its walls, we kept our backs to them and approached the entrance. Here, Betty raised her gun, holding it tight, a silencer already attached to it.

"Can you see what's happening in the building?"

This was a surprising question from Betty, considering she had been silent all this while about my sensory ability, especially since the air on the ground floor was weakly diluted with nature energy, something I hadn't picked up until we got close.

"Its concentration is far too weak to even be called nature energy."

Still, though, I believed this weak concentration was enough to act as a jammer and weaken sensory abilities.

I believed my capability in this building was what Betty was trying to assess.

"Well, all this can only be true if my assumption of what's happening is right." I reasoned.

"The range of my ability has been severely hampered, but I'm good," I lied.

"I'll go ahead. You follow behind me and keep alert."

"Okay."

Moving forward and entering a long corridor, Betty followed behind, and after some steps, I went to work.

There were truths I needed to get to the bottom of, and fast.

Bang!!

Bang!!

Bang!!

Three shots, three deaths.

With strong faith in their colleagues outside who were keeping watch, no one paid attention to an attack from behind.

The 21 people were divided into three groups.

The first group was made up of 5 individuals and they stood farthest from the basement where the most intense battle was currently ongoing.

The second group consisted of 10 people. Despite being well-armed, they positioned themselves in a wide corridor, all of them on their knees with weapons pointed at the door leading to the stairs going to the basement. It was like they were expecting some wild savage monster to come out at any time.

At the moment, I had just killed three from the first group, and I was completely unbothered by the loud sounds that had echoed from my gun.

"You could have asked for my gun. Now you've alerted them," Betty whispered from behind.

Clear as day, the woman was keenly looking at my figure, trying to understand which part of my body the pistol had come from.

Moving forward, we passed by the three men I had killed, the men completely garbed in black clothes and wearing ski masks, just like me.

Stopping, Betty bent down to take off the masks of the men, pulling out a camera and taking pictures.

"Loot their flashbangs," I told Betty, and just as she stood up, two more shots left my pistol.

Hiding behind the wall of one of the rooms to our left, I merely sent my arm in and shot the guy.

"Be careful. There is still one," I said to Betty as we moved forward, not minding that she checked the room to see the dead body.

Though the building was built in a rough square shape, things were arranged within in a circular manner, and our journey to the basement saw us moving through a round, seemingly unending corridor.

"What of the last guy?" Betty whispered from behind.

"He's disappeared from my senses. I believe he ran farther up ahead. There's a group he joined there."

"You're sure the governor is this way?"

"You guys are sure he's in this building, right?"

"Yes. It's where we last got a hint of signal from."

"Then he should be this way. It's the only route that has hostiles."

When Betty asked about the last guy, I lied. I didn't think he had gone further up ahead to regroup with his colleagues, because I knew that by following a route that took him from outside the building to the other side, he had fled. Now having to exert Echo to cover over a kilometer, I knew he was in contact with the forces who had been surrounding the area.

Echo!!

Echo!!

Echo!!

Back at Sade's house, in the presence of nature energy, I had gotten to experience a live 3D feed when using Echo, but now back in the open world, I could only spam the technique over intervals.

By the time we were getting close to the next group, Echo revealed to me the escaped opponent returning to the building and no aggressive move came from the rest of the enemy forces around.

"The flash bombs," I said, raising a hand.

"Wait here," I added after two canisters were placed in my hand.

"Why?" Betty asked, but I was already moving forward, pulling out the pins.

I threw the flash bombs around the corner and when the detonations went off, I pushed forward.

My opponents were ten in number. They wanted to rely on assault rifles and numbers to defeat me. I didn't need a flash bomb to deal with them, but to hide some of my strength I implemented the tactic.

Further accelerating once I was out of Betty's sight, I arrived in the middle of the blind ten-man team, and before any of them could blink their eyes to get even a fuzzy image of me, I sent bullets flying.

Eliminating all ten men and escaping their efforts to kill me didn't take more than a minute.

When Betty arrived, all she saw was my figure passing through the door and climbing the stairs down to the basement.

"Abdul, wait," the blonde called in a hushed tone.

She made haste and got behind me, and though she tried to remain calm, she couldn't hide the panic going through her as heavy shouts rose from below.

"If you don't have the strength, go back. I won't waste my time protecting you."

"I have the strength," Betty answered in response.

Betty didn't back off and we both continued.

For such a common-looking building, one would never expect that it would have a basement so deep in the ground, one that could only be reached through a winding staircase which required more than a minute of descent.
