Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 178: It's Over

The man was correct, there were smoke bombs there as well and they were suffocating the people inside of the caves. Hana took no time to act, She rushed at the intact part of the cave and cleaned up the rubble enclosing it. She quickly opened the cave and rushed out everyone inside of the cave. There were many unconscious but to Hana’s Luck, A few trucks of smaller leveled Awakeneds had arrived. She seemed to be annoyed by their sight but knew that this would have been for the good.

After almost an hour of searching and rescuing, everyone in the cave was safe with no casualties. Some were seriously injured but the medics saved their lives. A few minuted after saving everyone, a black car arrived as well. Hana instantly recognized the Car and rushed towards it.

A man in a blue coat exited the car and looked at Hana with a serious expression. Hana looked back at the man but she shook her head. She couldn’t have complained, it would have taken her a lot longer time to save all those hostages so it was for the best that the awakends had arrived.

However, there was still a slight sense of annoyance on her face. The man who exited the car looked at Hana and spoke, “Hana, I know that I said I would respect this mission but we agreed on a few things here… You need to respect that agreement as well. You can’t just run off to take care of everything. Especially with Alex. Alex is under supervision for specific reasons so you taking him on a whim for a mission was dangerous and stupid.” Ryan seemed very angry.

Hana didn’t seem to care as much however, She looked at Ryan and nodded, “I guess I apologies for that but Alex was just who I needed for the mission. I’d say that this guy when he goes all out is as good as you in combat… granted only one of his attacks can reach your level, maybe two. But after that, he’s down like a log. Luckly, that was enough. We took care of the scientist but the two masked men escaped by the help of a hidden S rank… Someone who took an almost full power blow from me and still had the energy to run away.” Hana spoke.

Ryan looked a bit taken aback and sighed, “I wish we had more people on our side as well. Seeing the amount of S ranked awakeneds that aren’t on out side makes me realise that if everyone got together here, we would be at the top of the world in terms of power…” He seemed to be sad.

Hana shrugged, “well, it doesn’t matter. We have someone who I think will lead us in the future, right?” She looked at Ryan, waiting for his reaction.

Ryan nodded his head, “You really seem to be fond of that man. Well, I don’t really care. As long as he is on our side. I still can’t completely trust him due to everything that’s been weird around him. Master Zhun checked on him and said he was good but still not being able to see that guy’s powers on top of the fact that he came from beyond the Gates is something that we need to keep in mind. Don’t get me wrong, I want to trust in Alex as well and he seems like a good guy but I can’t help but worry that there is something hidden in him that could be dangerous to us.” Ryan spoke honestly.

Hana nodded and looked behind her, “I’ll let you be the judge of that. Speaking of, That idiot is down somewhere after that huge fight.” Hana smiled a tiny bit before walked off towards where Alex was lying.

Ryan shook his head as he watched Hana walk away. “I really don’t know what to think of anymore. Master Zhun has been acting differently the past few weeks. Alex… Alex has been the main suspect for many things but I can’t help but want to trust in him… And that Hana, someone who I knew to be dead on the inside has smiled more times than ever before… A weird time I’m in right now… I just wish someone would take over my leading job so I could just relax and go back to relaxing.” Ryan seemed tired.

He seemed to have dark circles from nights staying awake investigating and doing his management work. The entire thing started to put an enormous pressure on him.

After all the search and rescue jobs were completed in the area, Ryan jumped into the car and closed his eyes. He talked to Hana after she dragged Alex to where they were and agreed on Letting Alex free as long as She is close by. ‘The overall investigation is close to conclusion… There is still that masked organization as well as another few that are going around the shadows… But I can rest for a few days.’ He seemed to finally find some time to relax and he dozed away in the car.

Hana took Alex to the car and drove to the Apartment. She looked back at the seat where Alex was lying. His body slightly covered in some dark smoke. “This guy… Every second I’m in this car with that smoke, It seems like I’m being poisoned… But it makes me happy as well seeing that What I heard and saw was indeed the truth. I just need to wait for the right time.”

Hana seemed to have fire in her eyes as she spoke firmly, “The first revenge has been taken care off… I didn’t do it but At least I got to see it. Now comes to the larger one…” A slight pause followed up by Hana whispering a name, “Larxius, I will end your life even if it is the last thing that I do… I already have one of your failures with me. Just you wait.”
