Chapter 217: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 20
"Don't tell me that man has the item we are looking for?" Gilbert looks at Jude.
"I hope not," Jude wished that isn't true.
"Does this mean we'll have to steal an item from the same person again?" Charles can't help feeling excited at the thought of stealing from Chief Kylo again.
"Most likely," Kayn could only sigh in pity for Chief Kylo. The latter had his Kingmaker stolen not so long ago, and yet now another one of his items is about to be stolen again.
"Should we inform Jericho on what to do?" Gilbert suggested.
"Go on," Kayn nodded. He absolutely has to inform Jericho and the others inside on what to do since this involves Chief Kylo.
"I'll go," Jude volunteered. "I want to see up close what kind of item it is exactly,"
"Okay," Kayn agreed. "We will come inside the building again once they got in,"
With that, Jude went back to the air duct to return to the ball.
On the other hand, Kayn, Gilbert, and Charles choose to stay behind as they still plan on gathering more information.
Over at the entrance of the building, Wesley greeted Chief Kylo as the two of them started conversing with each other.
There was no way for Kayn's group to know what they are talking about, so they can only guess that they are talking about the ball.
Kayn and the others moved closer to the entrance of the building in hopes of seeing who else is inside the carriage.
There was a group of carriages, yet only Chief Kylo disembarked. That's very suspicious.
"Could it be that those carriages only have guards in them?" Gilbert can't help thinking.
"It's possible," Kayn has the same thought.
As long as no one else disembarked from those carriages, it would confirm that the other carriages are mere escorts because of the importance of the item that Chief Kylo is bringing with him.
Seemingly like Chief Kylo wanted to introduce someone to Wesley, the former walked to one of the carriages and opened its door.
The instant the carriage door opened, a woman dressed in all black while wearing a white mask stepped out.
As if sensing someone watching, the woman turned to look in the direction of where Kayn's group are currently hiding. Luckily for them, they've long already ducked down to hide.
"Do you happen to know who that woman is?" Kayn turns to Gilbert.
"I don't," Gilbert shook his head.
"She's carrying a staff with her," Charles quickly pointed out.
"Could that perhaps be the key?" Kayn was surprised before quickly realizing something. "Charles, go and inform Jude that there's a possibility that we have to change our plans,"
"On it," Charles replied while already crawling in the direction of the trash bin they have come from.
Not long after Charles left, Wesley, Chief Kylo, and the unknown woman finally walked inside the building.
The moment they got in, the entrance of the building was immediately locked by the receptionist at the door.
"Let's return," Kayn gave Gilbert the signal to return back to the air duct.
Without wasting any time, Kayn and Gilbert quickly jumped back up to the air duct and made their way to return to the bathroom.
After making sure that the bathroom was clear, they quickly dropped down and swiftly went inside one of the cubicles so that they can change their clothes into their previous outfit that fit the theme of the ball.
"Let's go,"
Kayn and Gilbert left the bathroom and quickly went to find Jericho and the others.
As of this moment, everyone's attention is fully glued to the main guest of tonight's ball — Chief Kylo and the unknown woman.
The duo is currently walking on the path that the Executives under the command of Wesley had created for them as they slowly make their way to the stairs at the end.
"There they are," Gilbert pointed at Jericho who is still standing not far from the food counter.
·?θm At present, Jadiel and everyone else that was having an eating competition had long already stopped as their attention was also attracted by Chief Kylo and the unknown woman.
In order to not raise suspicion, Kayn and Gilbert slowly made their way to where Jericho was at.
Not long after they arrived, Kayn gathered Jericho, Jude, Charles, Jadiel, and Randy together as they started planning on the next course of action.
Honestly, they are extremely daring to actually think of making a plan on how to steal an item right under the target's nose. Moreover, they are doing it while a lot of their target's allies are nearby them.
"Jude, can you please confirm the key is that staff right there?" Kayn ordered Jude.
Jude nodded in affirmation as he made his way closer to the staff.
It didn't take long for Jude to return. "Luckily for us, it is,"
"Now that we've confirmed it, we will follow the plan we just discuss," Kayn signaled to everyone to proceed with their agreed plan.
In the next moment, everyone went on their separate ways to do their own thing.
Kayn went on to approach Chief Kylo and the unknown woman's direction. But he wasn't aiming for the two. He stopped just when he was about to get close.
With a wave of his hand, Kayn took out a handful of gunpowder from his Storage Ring and started sprinkling them nearby.
Since gunpowder is practically similar in size to grains of sand, and not to mention it blend in perfectly well with the floor due to its steel color, thus nobody was able to notice it.
From his location, Kayn slowly made his way to the entrance of the building while sprinkling gunpowder everywhere.
Over at the opposite side, he could see Gilbert doing the same thing and seemingly in a complete synchronization motion as him as they reached the entrance of the building almost at the same time.
Kayn nodded at Gilbert as they both slowly moved in the direction of the bathroom. Of course, they still continued sprinkling gunpowder everywhere.
