Chapter 132: CH 132: The boss (WMR10)
Dave yanked the blade from the burly man’s gut with a wet, tearing sound, the man collapsing with a groan that was quickly drowned out by the chaos around them. Blood soaked the ground beneath Dave’s boots, but he didn’t pause, he turned toward the building, ready to storm inside and finish what he started.
But then, a figure emerged from the shadows of the entrance.
Slow steps echoed across the cracked tiles as the man walked out, his posture unnervingly relaxed for someone surrounded by death. A red mask covered the upper half of his face, smooth and featureless, like a doll’s.
But Dave didn’t need to see his eyes to know who it was. The moment he saw that mask, he saw the calm, calculated movements, everything Peter had told him about clicked into place.
Kim Hyun.
The name came with a rush of cold anger, tightening in Dave’s chest like a fist.
This was the man who ruled the base from the shadows, pretending to be a protector, a savior. But beneath that mask wasn’t a man who had turned over a new leaf, it was a wolf draped in the skin of a sheep.
Before the world fell into chaos, Kim Hyun had been a name spat out by every news anchor with disgust and dread. He wasn’t just a criminal. He was a walking nightmare.
He had orchestrated the bombings of three peaceful towns, whole communities reduced to rubble, families turned to ash. The motive? No one ever found out. Maybe it was money. Maybe it was pleasure. Maybe it was just boredom.
