Time 19:48
Location – Sky blossom City, East Zone, Zhang financiers Main office
I got off the cab in a nearby ally to Zhang financiers Main office. Then equipping the Poison Blaster Mounted Full body Rainbow Scaled armour I turn on its stealth effect and walk into 13 storeys Zhang financiers Main office through the front door.
Since it was late Evening I thought that the building will be surrounded by drunk goons but today that wasn’t that case, for some reason the place surrounding the building was cleaned up and all the goons were dressed in black and stood in formation inside the lobby as if waiting for someone.
Listening to their whispers l came to know that they were waiting to receive their boss Kevin Zhang who was returning to the Sky Blossom city today. Knowing that the main boss will be arriving soon I did not waste time listening to their chatter and hurriedly placed all 3 poison gas bombs in the lobby and headed to the security room which was conveniently by the main entrance of the building.
Thankfully there was only one security in the room, it seems every goon apart from that are at work is present in the lobby to receive their boss.
Zhang financiers Main office is 13 storeys building with 4 underground floors. The first underground floor is used for parking and the rest are used for the Zhang mercenary shady business. And thanks to the surveillance monitors I saw Ronnie being held on the 3rd underground floor. Then I placed one bomb in the surveillance room too before heading to the staff stairs.
Taking the staff stairs I went to the 3rd underground floor without a hitch mostly because all the goons were in the lobby leaving the rest of the building defenceless and also, C-rank stealth was no joke it was as if I was never there.
But when I reached the third floor I did not directly enter it because what I saw in the surveillance video feed in the security room made me cautious. Ronnie was not the only one being held but there were others.
The problem was Ronnie and other inmates were not bound or imprisoned they were left free to roam on the 3rd underground floor. And there was only one guard to watch them. What was more surprising that the inmates did not try to rebel, were they too afraid to rebel or there is something special about the guard watching over the inmates.
Just to be sure I decide to take out the guard first and then enter the 3rd underground floor.
But taking out the guard was not an easy job as he was sitting in the middle of the whole floor and was surrounded by inmates, I had only one chance and if I miss then the guard would be alerted.
Come to think of it the whole floor was empty with no walls or rooms or partition. it was empty with just the building support beams and chair for the guard to sit on. Another thing to notice was that the guard was completely defenceless and dozing off without any fear for the inmates rebelling.
Clearly, something was special about the guard. Seeing how he was in the center of the floor and the inmates did not show any sign of rebelling I guessed that the guard was using a field or trap card and the entire 3rd underground floor was under the area effect of his field or trap card.
Now the only way I could knock out the guard was by detonating a poison gas bomb at the centre of the 3rd underground floor so that the poison gas would render him paralysed and confused under hallucinations. But with him, the rest of the inmates would be affected too. I did not care about the inmates but Ronnie was among the inmates he would also be under the effect of the poison gas and suffer from paralysis and hallucination.
I could not waste my time on choosing the best option, as Kevin Zhang would arrive any minute now. he is a silver grimoire card soldier unlike the card students and scholars in the building that guy was on another level, he was a veteran and right now I was sure I was not his opponent. Therefore without caring for the consequences I threw the poison gas bomb at the centre of the 3rd underground floor.
As soon as the poison gas bomb entered the floor the guard that was lazing around on the chair suddenly acted and turned to look right at the poison gas bomb, thankfully I had already guessed that the opponent’s field card had field detection ability and would notice the bomb the moment the bomb entered his area of effect.
*Boooom!!*
So, when the guard acted I had already detonated the poison gas bomb, not just this one I detonated all the remaining 4 bombs placed in the lobby and security room. So, that nobody will be able to access the security room to watch the surveillance feed.
I chose this particular poison gas bomb because this poison gas did not take effect through inhaling or skin contact of the poison but it directly affects the soul energy of the victim, once the victim’s soul energy comes in contact with the poison they are directly faced with nerve paralysis and hallucination within 0.076 seconds. Due to this effect of the poison gas, each bomb cost me near $1.5million.
Threatened by the large bang sound and poison gas any card apprentice will choose to protect themselves with their soul energy allowing the poison gas to come in contact with their soul energy and falling prey to it.
Thanks to the poison gas all the inmates and the guard fell under paralysis and hallucination. I had already seen where Ronnie fell and without wasting any time I activated sprint and ran to his position and picked him up while covering him with the stealth cloak.
[You have entered the prison dungeon of Joe Meyer]
[You are not designated as an invader or inmate by the host, therefore you are free to enter and leave the prison dungeon.]
Reading these notifications I knew I could not take out Ronnie until the guard allows it or I knock out the guard. The guard was under hallucination but still conscious so the field card he used was still in effect, I had to knock him out to bring Ronnie out of the prison dungeon.
