"Captain! They’re coming again!" Sherry informed him.
Captain Han, Jay, and Rain immediately raised their stance. "Are they really…"
The captain couldn’t believe it, considering that they were supposed to be trying to ambush him.
Captain Han hesitated to move, but he soon heard someone shouting from the floor above him.
"I know you are about to arrive. I’ve come to negotiate!"
Captain Han frowned and hurriedly glanced at Sherry. Sherry shook her head, implying that they had stopped. It seemed that they had no choice but to go up to meet them.
Hence, Captain Han pointed at Jay and Rain before waving his hand down. Then he continued toward the seventh floor.
Jay wanted to follow him, but Rain suddenly grabbed his shoulder. Jay turned his head around and saw Rain placing his finger on his lips as if telling him to stay quiet before shaking his head. Their job was to remain on this floor, waiting for the signal to attack.
There was no way the captain would accept the negotiation, so it was better to wait for the signal so that they could ambush them.
Jay had no choice but to comply because Clovis was not here.
Once Captain Han reached the seventh floor, he saw the boss and all his remaining subordinates. There were a total of eleven people.
Still, the one that caught his attention the most was the guy in the boss’s hand. The boss tossed him to the floor while saying, "This guy is the culprit who hires us. I will let you take him if you let us go. What do you think?"
Captain Han frowned. "I don’t negotiate with terrorists."
"Come on. You should know that this place is filled with bombs, right? If you dare to fight us, you won’t escape unscathed. Even if you can somehow beat us, we can still drag your subordinates together with us."
Captain Han’s expression turned grim. His killing intent was leaking out of his eyes. "Is that a threat?"
"Oi, oi! I’m trying to negotiate here. You should know this guy, right?" The boss smirked.
Captain Han, of course, knew Ivan. He was supposed to be the genius of the city. People admired him, but in the last few months, his results were horrible, and his conduct was detested.
Captain Han could see the hatred reflected on Ivan’s face. It was as if he was trying to kill someone, along with the people related to that person.
"Do you think you can escape from this after attacking the city?"
"My group has received a lot of damage as well."
"Don’t act like you’re the victim. Your group is responsible for the terrorist attack yesterday. And you even bring a beast wave to the city!"
The boss shook his head. "What are you talking about? I’m not responsible for the beast wave."
"…" Captain Han couldn’t help but fall silent after hearing that statement. If not him, then who caused the beast wave? "I don’t believe it."
"I don’t have any reason to lie to you. This kid suddenly came to us, requesting to attack a certain group. He said the rest has been arranged on his side." The boss smirked. "I can even manipulate the evidence so that you can easily convince the public that this guy is the one at fault. My only condition is to let us go."
Captain Han looked serious, as if he were thinking about it.
However, another report came through his radio. "Boss. He is just stalling! His reinforcement is about to arrive."
"Ah. Did I get found out?" Captain Han suddenly smirked.
"You!" The boss shouted while pointing at Captain Han. "Kill him!"
Suddenly, a huge man kicked open the door and charged at him.
Captain Han used his weapon to block the attack, but he was actually unable to move after this guy slammed his axe down.
"Tier 4?" Captain Han looked surprised.
The terrorists split up to surround Captain Han and stop Jay and the others from coming up. The boss also charged forward, using this opportunity to at least injure Captain Han.
However, Sherry immediately came out and shot one of the terrorists down.
After that, Jay and Rain tossed the tables they carried from the sixth floor, causing as much mess as possible.

The terrorists panicked and tried to get away from the table. Using this opportunity, Jay and Rain came to the seventh floor, heading to those subordinates first. After all, the guns were annoying.
But it was at that time that the boss recognized a person. "Jay Havenson?!"
He shuddered, not because of Jay’s strength but because he knew Jay wouldn’t come here alone.
’If Jay is here… Clovis must be here as well. We don’t know about the rest since we only know that Melody is critically injured. The only person that matters right now is Clovis, but he hasn’t shown himself. Is he still on the lower floor? No…’ The boss hurriedly instructed upon the realization. "Sam.
Hurry and check the radar. Clovis might be in this building!"
To his surprise, he got a response right away. But the reply might not be what he expected.
"Aaaaaggghhh!"
Yes, it was a scream—a scream filled with pain.
"Do you hear that? Your beloved subordinate is writhing in pain. And you will be next."
"You… Clovis…" The boss couldn’t think of anyone else who was able to infiltrate this base in this situation. He didn’t know how Clovis did it, but it didn’t change the fact that Clovis was inside the building. It seemed that he had eliminated the person in charge of their devices.
The boss shuddered in fear. With Clovis, Jay, and Captain Han, it would be possible for them to defeat two Tier 4 humans on their side.
When he sensed his impending doom, his heart sank.
Meanwhile, Clovis was inside a room filled with complicated devices. He didn’t bother to touch anything since he had killed the person operating him. While he couldn’t make him in pain longer, he still managed to do it.
But Melody ended up asking, "Is that even necessary?"
Clovis paused for a moment, as if he were thinking about it seriously. And the only answer that came out of his mouth was, "No."
Yes, he just wanted them to feel pain after the injuries his teammates had suffered.
