New Game+ - Chapter 435: The Naked Assassin

A young man emerged from the waters. He was on a public beach. But due to the war, no one would dare stay at the edges fearing possible attacks. Who knows if the Americas would attack again? Massive bombs had just landed, and the sounds of distant gunfire could be heard.

“Where is this? Damn. To think Central America would attack!” The youth cursed.

In a surprising twist, a civil war had begun in the Americas. South America had declared its autonomy from the Americas and supported Central America in their attacks. But suddenly, Central America attacked South American fleets.

The fleet where this youth had snuck into was attacked. Nevertheless, he managed to survive the attack easily and swam all the way into this region. And while it was humanly impossible for teens to swim across such distant seas, it was no problem to him.

The hot, scorching winds met him as he surfaced from the waters and sat on the rocks and cliffs nearby. The place he arrived had no civilians nearby and even soldiers. A battle had just taken place, and the forces guarding it just retreated to the city several kilometers away from this very beach.

The young man hid and observed as he could see Exoskeletons flying in retreat. The attack was a failure, and the region was not captured.

But even amidst that war, this young teen had other enemies.

“Those guys… are very, very persistent… Even in that war, they were still out to get me. And why do they think I am a pseudo Presider?! Who the hell has been spreading those lies?!” The young man cursed and punched the rock nearby, breaking it to pieces.

Over the past month, he has been moving through the world, infiltrating ships after ships and fighting in many battles. The number of people who died in his hands amounted to the hundreds. He started his journey from New Great Britain and moved from island to island, and began to cross Underwater cities!

The battle he fought pushed him into a level of power he couldn’t understand. And when that happened, enemies appeared around him. He couldn’t understand their accusations. He found out that they thought he was one of a time-traveling group and was being chased by various parties. He was captured twice and was stripped and tortured, and was asked questions about Presider Shakstress, Presider Andronze, and for some bizarre reason, he was asked about dildos and other phallic-related objects.

The poor kid was so confused after being detained and questioned with strange things. He fought and killed those who did and revealed a strength that could pound an Exoskeleton to the point that the pilot inside would die.

But the enemy was relentless and sent in people with powerful techs. He even fought against a powerful person that was called Pioneers. They had Exoskeletons that were close to Supremes and techs that he couldn’t even understand. Yet in the moments where he would almost die, some inner conflict or another Pioneer would intervene.

There was even a time when a more powerful person called Presider was headed to where he was!

He fled with all his might and only revealed his super strength, but in reality, he had another powerful ability.

The youth looked around and decided to look for an underground area.

“This place is said to have an underground river. I’ll hide there.” He decided to run towards the shore but didn’t move towards the roads, but he ran right into the stony cliffs nearby. He ran and jumped towards it and disappeared.

He moved faster and faster, passing through rocks, sand, and water. He ran and ran and found the underground river. He followed the flow of water and finally found a small chamber deep inside this cave.

“Lucky!” He thought to himself. It didn’t take him long to find it, and it was very easy to find with his ability to pass through walls.

He looked around and found that the place had clean water and was naturally cool and sheltered, making it an ideal hiding spot.

“Not even those techs should find me. I should rest here! Who knows when I’ll be able to next. With those persistent guys, I may end up running for my life for days and days. I need rest!” He decided.

With his ability to pass through objects, he survived and fled from the enemies. He was very careful not to show this ability when he faced those people called Pioneers and did his best to avoid Presiders.

“It’s a good thing that fighting and escaping from that damned Admiral Ramsden taught me how to fight and avoid being detected!” The youth cursed. He recalled the time he was in New Great Britain and how his random whim of saving a celebrity to whom he was deeply attracted led to a series of painful and horrifying events. It was also this encounter that brought him to his current state,

He was captured, betrayed, nearly killed, and was shot many times, and those experiences finally taught him what he did wrong. He was now even more paranoid than he originally was. He used to be paranoid as he was an escaped experiment. But now, it was thrown to a whole new level.

He rested his head, but no sleep befell him. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see Kristine Sythia in the arms of several men. He crossed continents chasing after this woman.

His intel-gathering abilities made him uncover various shocking secrets that the world was not ready for. He found weaponry beyond imagination and even exoskeletons that could cover two world wars!

But all of this was nothing compared to the information about Kristine Sythia. But as he would occasionally do, every time he found something that a particular country was preparing to do, he would release the files online under the pseudonym that he was known for a way back in New Great Britain.

The Naked Assassin revealed the atrocities or planned atrocities in several kingdoms. Somehow Pioneers and Planteds would always be involved in this. In fact, he just did so in the submarine below before it exploded.

“The Naked Assassin strikes again. To think Central America has those secrets. The Force of America? Ha! What lunacy!” He cursed and retrieved a Comm device. He would compile news reports on his Comm device and would watch some news hoping to find out where General Ramsden was. He also searched for the Covenant of the Strongest, who also disappeared.

As he began to watch the news, reports of his own work appeared in the news reports he managed to save in his comm device. The report about him was originally aired a week ago.

“The renowned hacker, the Naked Assassin, has released another series of reports. And this time, it involves Rome! Plans to rebuild the ancient city of Rome and turn the city into a massive structure similar to the other plans that the Naked Assassin revealed to make this Babel Three. As you know, the Naked Assassin revealed that New Great Britain is planning to create a massive tower that reaches space and will be kept standing with various technologies that allow this structure not to stand up but to somehow ‘float’. The first was Babel One, and later, Babel Two was also uncovered. And now Rome.” The reporter explained.

“I wonder if my other leaked files have surfaced?” The youth wondered.

“I hope that those files were sent before the sub sank. Will Central America’s Babel Five be discovered?” He wondered.

“In any case, the findings of this Naked Assassin are also changing the world. Reports of his appearances have been spotted all over the place. Most governments are now arresting streakers or anyone who have a history of being an exhibitionist.”

“I’m not a freakin’ exhibitionist!” The youth shouted angrily. Because his powers were slipping through walls, the clothes he wore couldn’t pass through. Only a few days ago, he managed to develop his mysterious power so that he could pass on his ability to other objects that he was holding. And so, the bag and clothes he wore would also pass through objects as well.

“Kristine… I can save you now!” The youth called Jake sighed as he took his bag and opened it. It had a lot of food, and Jake began to have his meal. Who knows when he would have the free time to eat like this?

But as he did that, he didn’t know that some of the rocks below him were actually a spying device.

Some twenty kilometers away from where Jake was hiding, several soldiers reported the findings.

A small team of operatives was hiding on the top floor of the building.

They had been keeping track of the movements of Jake. In fact, they had even assisted Jake and saved his life when things got too dicey for Jake. They were the Unlocked team and were the second generation of spies the Unlocked army created.

“General. Just as you calculated, the experiment Jake is nowhere! Very impressive! You really figured it all out! And as for his current unlocking, it is exactly a general Arthur predicted. You two are really starting to be similar!” The soldier laughed.

“Whatever.” The young General that the soldier spoke to was not interested.

“I’ll deal with him later. Have you found them?”

“Yes, General. All three Rules have been detected. Three Emperors are inside that building.” The soldier confirmed.

“I guess I gotta go.”

“General? You plan to meet them?”

“I was ordered to kill them.”

“Alone? They have Rules!”

“And I have a date that I can’t miss.” The young man sighed.

“General Cliff! Let us assist you!”

“No need. I can take them.” Cliff assured them as he opened the windows and jumped out of the tall skyscraper.
