Chapter 228 - 221. Day of Contending Nerves (1)
"So, what exactly happened?"
The next morning, the executives had their separate breakfast--or rather, meeting with a meal. In which, Zein wasted no time asking Radia. He had wanted to ask that immediately yesterday, but alas, he had a puppy to be coddled.
All he found out from Bassena was merely the outbreak level, which was actually quite high. But the building belonged to the Association, so the walls and pillars were reinforced with resistant material, and there were more than enough espers to do containment. Not to mention Bassena was there to do crowd control.
It was almost silly, the outbreak. If it was meant to do some damage, they shouldn’t have done it in a building full of an esper with just that level of density. While the parking lot did get contaminated with miasma, it wasn’t anything that a good purification device couldn’t handle in a span of a day.
So, more than the outbreak, the surprising part was the attack on the vault room.
Radia, who was always quieter than usual in the morning, murmured while letting the smell of roasted coffee beans envelop him. "It seemed that they searched the whole building for more explosive sheets."
"Did they find any?" Rina asked. She had no idea what happened in the Association building since she was busy defending the channel connecting the basement of the building and the hotel.
"Some. They are still very secretive about where," Radia crossed his arms as he leaned back and closed his eyes. "I’m going over to find out more."
"It’s rare for you to not find out already," Bassena said, and Zein had to hold back on commenting that the Guildmaster might be busy last night.
Radia did not make any response, however, as if he couldn’t hear anything. He was tapping on his arms with knitted brows. They only heard him a few minutes later. "The sheet did not matter. The timing does."
The other three fell into silence then, eating their meal and sipping on their coffee in contemplation. Yes, among everything, that was still the biggest mystery.
