DESTINY GAMES

Chapter 165 Tired And Angry.

The first hero that spotted him shouted, "It is the mind fire villain."

This drew everyone's attention and gave them a viable target to expel their anger against. But they didn't attack randomly. They had a plan they had prepared just for him.

They hadn't been able to use this plan for the past two days. So they were very eager to show what they were capable of. The fact the Count is dead also gave the determination to win.

They put that plan into action now. All of them closed their eyes while relying on the hero with mental coordination to provide them with information about their environment.

The hero with the mental coordination ability was standing still as he used the mental connection he had made with everyone to coordinate them.

He was taking visual and other perception information from the heroes with echolocation and olfaction positioning ability and then passing it along to the other heroes who had become blind.

This required a lot of focus and mental effort, so he couldn't move physically. The other heroes used this information in place of their eyes to corner and attack Thorin.

Thorin smiled at them and tried to diffuse the situation. He said, "Calm down. I didn't kill your boss. I am only here to bid him farewell."

They didn't listen to him. All of them attacked with whatever ability they could use. They tried, but they failed to defeat him.

They might have handicapped him, but that doesn't mean they can defeat him. First of all, their movements were slow and jerky as they tried to get used to the new way of seeing.

Secondly, it was taking time for the mind coordinator to acquire information and pass it across to them. So there was an initial lag in their perception.

When combined with their slow reaction as they struggled with seeing with their eyes closed, their actions were clumsy and inefficient. He felt like he was fighting morons.

Thirdly, they didn't have the Count to hold him back. They were supposed to be backup, not the main fighters. As someone who is about to become B-rank himself, his attributes are at the limit of C-rank.

Even though half of his attributes are in Mind, he still wasn't someone these heroes could take on their own. One hit to their throats was all he needed to put them out of the fight.

The best of them tried to block him but was always too slow. His fist had already made contact with their throat before they realized the danger and began moving their hands to block.

He didn't waste his time with them. He just passed through, knocking anyone in his way out. Their entire squad fell apart when the hero with the mental coordination ability was forced to run away from him.

It was either that or the guy got knocked out too. He chose to run, which made the rest admit defeat and run for their lives. Find exclusive stories on empire

He chuckled and adjusted his suit. Then he picked up the trail he was after and continued to follow it.

This led him out the back of the skyscraper and into the city. He jogged calmly as he followed the trail. He was not in any rush. He would be content with jogging for weeks if he had to.

Fortunately, he didn't have to. He found where the target was staying. He knocked, but no one opened the door for him.

No matter how much he assured the person that he only wanted to talk, they didn't open the door for him. He didn't want to break it down after the recent explosion that the Count had encountered. So he had to call Mel to help him.

"Mel, I need your help hacking the security of a building. I want to access a locked door."

She asked, "Weren't you supposed to be preparing for the war? What are you doing that needs hacking the security of a whole building?"

He replied, "I have already done all the preparation I need. I am following the tracks of the person who killed Count."

"What for?"

"To have a chat with him."

"Seriously, what for?"

He replied honestly, "I know that this is hard to believe. But I just want to have a chat with him. If it is the shape-shifter, I want to recruit them too."

Mel screamed, "Are you out of your mind? This issue has escalated. An Omega has died for fuck's sake. The Caped Crusaders are going nuts. Even the Justice League is riled up. They are taking this seriously."

Thorin didn't see the problem. He asked calmly, "What's so special about his death? What did they expect when they sent him to participate in a war? Deaths happen all the time in a war. Is it a crime to kill someone in a war?"

She wasn't so calm. She said with a raised voice, "Yes, it is a crime to kill an Omega. They are going to make whoever did this regret it. They are blowing this war into epic proportions."

Thorin nodded. "It's good that they are making the war bigger. That way I will be able to earn more popularity when I wipe the floor with them."

She sighed and said, "Please, will you let this go? I've heard chatter among the heroes blaming you for this. They are coming after us. If you implicate yourself further, this will create a lot of problems for us and might hinder our plans."

He shrugged and said, "I just want to talk. Besides, I am already here. I can't waste my time and effort to get here and not meet the target."

She asked him with a pleading voice, "Why don't you spend your time tracking that Earth Escape guy?"

He asked with evident frustration, "Are you going to help me or not?"

She sighed again. "Fine. Do whatever you want. Just make sure to keep yourself safe. Now, plug me in and tell me which room you want."
