The King’s Mandate: Anomalous System - Chapter 425
‘First target spotted.’
Das patiently waited for the man to walk near the elevator.
The man then pressed the switch, and the elevator door opened. But as soon as he entered it, the door violently closed as his half body got stuck.
His both bands and head up to the chest were in the elevator, and the rest of his body was outside.
Das pressed a switch on his phone, and the elevator started to move down. The man started screaming. The elevator kept pushing the man’s body down and eventually cut into two.
The blood was scattered all over the door.
Das pressed the switch on his phone, and the elevator came up again. The door opened, and Das kicked the man’s half body into the elevator.
He glanced around and then placed the ‘work in progress’ sign outside the elevator.
Das walked to the other side of the floor and got into another elevator.
“First spy killed. Three more left” Das fixed the tampered elevator.
He then connected his phone with the CCTV cameras of the entire building.
“There are like thousands of them; there is no way I can look into each one of them. I don’t have enough time,’
‘Maybe if I had some A.I work for me. But I have a very little knowledge in that field.’ Das skimmed through most of the footage.
A wide smirk appeared on Das’ face as he said, “Second target spotted.’
Das pressed the switch of the floor ’80’ on the elevator.
‘I also have to get Dad’s phone from the 69th floor. But.. I also need to kill three more spies.’
The elevator stopped on the 80th floor, and Das got off.
Das’ eyes widened as he took the first step.
Everything was dark there; no lights, no noise, no people.
‘Strange. I saw that guy coming to this floor. Did he come here because there was no one here?’
‘But what is he planning to do here?’
Das heard footsteps approaching him at speed. Unfortunately, Das had no time to react.
Before Das could glance around, he was hit by a metal pipe on the head.
Das’ vision got blurry as he stumbled on his steps. He glanced around from the direction he was hit. Das saw a man holding a metal pipe. He was trying to hit Das again. His vision still wasn’t cleared, and he was feeling severe pain in his head.
Even though he wasn’t bleeding, he had internally bled. He couldn’t make the right choices. His senses were all over the place.
Das tried to grab the metal pipe, but he missed, and that guy hit Das again, this time on the chest.
Das fell on his back.
‘This is bad. Not only is my vision getting blurry, but I am losing consciousness too. If I don’t do anything, I might just pass out.’
Das tried to squint his eyes, but that didn’t work. ‘If I pass out, I have no idea what this guy might do.’
Indeed, if Das passed out, that man could do anything to Das, even might kill him.
‘But… how did he…don’t tell me… don’t tell me, he knew I was coming? But how?’ Das groaned in pain.
‘It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts.’
Das couldn’t keep his eyes open for any longer.
‘Is that it, Das? This is where you fall?’
‘You can’t, Das. If you fall here, your dad will go bankrupt. You can’t let that happen.’
‘That’s… right. I can’t let it happen. But… my body won’t move.’
The man raised the metal pipe and aimed it on Das’ forehead. Das tried to move, but he couldn’t.
As the pipe was about to hit Das’ forehead, Das kicked the man’s leg and broke it.
The man screamed in pain, and the pipe fell just an inch beside Das’ head.
‘Get up, Das. A little more.’
Das slowly crawled and eventually stood up. He then properly looked at the man’s face.
“You are lucky I am sparing you from the suffering you deserve,” Das muttered.
Das grabbed the man’s leg and dragged him into the main office of the floor. He then stopped in front of the big glass window.
Das ran as he grabbed a chair and threw it on the glass. The glass cracked a little, and the chair bounced back.
Das then grabbed the man’s leg with his both hands and threw him at the window at his full strength.
The glass broke, and the man fell from the 80th floor. Das then sighed and grabbed the chair.
After placing the chair to where it was before, Das sat on it and closed his eyes to catch his breath.
His pain still hadn’t faded, but his spirit to survive wasn’t letting him fall back.
Das took a deep breath and opened his eyes as he said, “Two more.”
Das got up from the chair. ‘I know where the other two are, and I don’t even need to find them.’ If they already knew about Das or that someone was after them; the only natural thing any sane person would do is– run.
“I will first get dad’s phone from his office.”
Das once again took the elevator and stopped on the 69th floor.
The first thing he did after getting off on the 69th floor was; preparing himself for the stares, he would be getting.
Das walked forward, expecting some chattering and stares, but much to his surprise, it was silence, as if no one was there.
Das glanced around and saw the employees focused on their work. Das was surprised at first but brushed it off because he had something more important to take care of.
Das walked straight forward and opened the door, took the left turn, and opened another door. He then walked forward and opened another door. After opening the next door, he entered Derek’s office.
Das knew Derek’s phone was on the sofa, so without looking at anything else, he walked to the sofa to get the phone, but the phone wasn’t there.
At the same time, Das heard, “What brings you here, Das; son of Derek?”
