Chapter 50
Chapter 50: Two vs fifteen (I)
Mayor Clacius stood at the gates of Rouk City with a large smile as he waved the military truck leaving. There was a poisonous contempt on that smile, but there was also genuine happiness.
After wandering around the armory for almost ten minutes, spending a few hours searching the city, and going through witness statements, Cain and Levi decided to give up and leave.
Of course, Mayor Clacius kept his facade of a fearful civil servant and accompanied the duo to the exit.
‘Hahaha, fucking brats. You came waving your background, yet leave with your tail between your legs.’
Cain and Levi had no idea what Clacius was thinking, although they could get an idea. But, none of them cared as they readied themselves inside the military truck.
Once Cain and Levi were beyond the scope of Rouk City’s surveillance, the duo jumped out of the moving vehicle and into the forest. The military truck was racing at almost 400km/h. Still, they landed without problem beneath the cover of the trees.
Cain had found the criminals’ scent and could easily track them, but if he hinted that he had a way to solve the crime, there was no way to say what Clacius would do. That is why he and Levi performed that small show before leaving.
.....
Even after the duo jumped out, the military truck kept advancing. Neither Levi nor Cain knew of the reach Clacius had. While he couldn’t influence the Collapsing Lightning Military Academy, there was the chance Rouk City’s mayor could get intel on the vehicle’s coordinates.
