Chapter 221: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 24
"How truly unfortunate, I've already given the Kingmaker to my client," Kayn shook his head to act as if he was helpless about it.
"Is it Old Mayor George?" Chief Kylo sounded slightly disappointed.
"I don't actually reveal my client's name," Kayn casually smiled. "Anyways, enough about talk, are you guys ready?"
"For what?" Chief Kylo asked while signaling for Wesley to prepare everyone as something really bad is about to happen.
"Here's something that I am really curious about from the very first time I came to this place," Kayn waves his hand, quickly taking out a bunch of Drowsy Mushrooms from his Storage Ring. "What do you think would happen if I throw these cute little babies into the fire?"
Hearing that, Chief Kylo's face instantly widened as he thought of something.
As soon as they came to the Slumbering Forest, the first item that they studied was the Drowsy Mushrooms since this piece of plant grows everywhere in the forest. And with its drowsy toxic mist, it can cause great danger and a lot of unknown variables during the war.
Through their study, they discovered a great deal of effects the Drowsy Mushrooms can give, which includes both positive and negative, and dozens of ways to create them.
One of those effects was exploding drowsy toxic mist, which can be triggered when a group of Drowsy Mushrooms is thrown into the fire at the same time.
This exploding drowsy toxic mist isn't the same as the normal dosage of drowsy toxic mist that the Drowsy Mushrooms released when they felt threatened. It's the accumulation of all the drowsy toxic mist stored inside their bodies. And when that barrier called their body is destroyed, similar to what happened with the air duct back in the ballroom, it would puff out a thick layer of drowsy toxic mist, which is why its dosage increased.
"Get your mask!" Chief Kylo exclaimed loudly as he waves his hand to take out a mask from his Storage Ring. He could only believe that similar to them, Kayn's group also studied the Drowsy Mushroom when they arrived in the Slumbering Forest.
"I am not here to kill everyone, so whoever can remain standing, you will be able to escape from this place alive," Kayn mischievously smile before throwing the Drowsy Mushroom into the fire.
At the same time, Gilbert, Jude, Charles, Jericho, Jadiel, and Randy who are currently hiding in the shadows also did the same.
Boom!
Puff!
As if a strange powder exploded, the entire street was soon after covered by a thick layer of drowsy toxic mist.
Everyone's vision was instantly blinded, but it only lasted for a moment as a series of <<Air Blast>> spells exploded inside the drowsy toxic mist in order to clear out the smoke.
The moment the smoke cleared out, dozens of important guests lay on the floor unconscious.
Chief Kylo immediately ordered his men to check on them and make sure that they stay alive as he focus his attention on looking for Kayn who has gone missing once more.
"How slippery," Chief Kylo muttered as he realized that it was useless to continue looking for Kayn anymore. He finally focuses his attention on the current situation in front.
"It should be about time that we call on the others so that situation like this doesn't happen to us again, Chief Kylo," Wesley suggested.
"Not now, they are still busy doing important matters around the Slumbering Forest," Chief Kylo responded before his attention was attracted to the woman he brought with him. "What are you looking for?"
"My Storage Ring," The woman's tone started shaking.
"What Storage Ring?" Chief Kylo's face became serious as he thought of something inwardly.
"The one where I stored the key,"
"Are you sure that you lost it? It might be that you just misplaced it somewhere," After all, the explosion caused their motor wagon to turn upside down.
"Perhaps," The woman stood up.
"Wesley, order some of your men to look for a Storage Ring," Chief Kylo quickly called out.
"Alright!" Wesley immediately understood the significance of this matter as he swiftly assigned the majority of Executives, including himself, to look for the Storage Ring.
In the end, even after clearing the place of any rubles and debris caused by the numerous explosions, they still didn't see any signs of the Storage Ring.
Chief Kylo finally realized that once again Kayn's group had succeeded in their mission of stealing another item from him.
The woman quickly approached Chief Kylo as she explained. "It should be impossible for them to open the Storage Ring since I am the owner of it and I haven't given them any permission to access the contents inside,"
"You better hope that's the case. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you," Chief Kylo's murderous intent directly covered the woman's entire body, which caused her to kneel down on the ground in pain.
"I… know…" The woman cried.
"Take her to safety," Chief Kylo stared at Wesley, slightly disappointed at the latter's arrangement. He entrusted everything to Wesley expecting that everything would succeed, but it turns out that it was a bad decision. It would have been better if he had assigned the others to do this task.
Wesley understood Chief Kylo's thoughts with a quick glance on the latter's face. In order to make up for his failure, he didn't order anyone else as he took it himself to take the woman to safety.
"As long as she's with me, you won't be able to access the key inside her Storage Ring and make use of it," Chief Kylo snickered at the foolishness that Kayn's group had done. If it was him in their shoes, he would have definitely also killed that woman in the midst of stealing her Storage Ring instead of leaving her alive.
Unbeknownst to Chief Kylo, that was exactly what Kayn wanted the former to think.
