Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely-Chapter 499 - : Surrounded

Adam and his team were huddled around a screen, watching the news broadcasts and scrolling through the flood of comments on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook. The videos of Johnson’s speech and the official announcements were filled with furious comments from netizens, many of whom were baying for Adam’s blood.

Mia, one of Adam’s teammates, read out a comment aloud, "This Adam is a monster! How could anyone defend such a person? He should be exterminated for the safety of the galaxy!" Her voice trembled with concern, reflecting the fear and uncertainty that the team felt.

Leo, another team member, frowned deeply as he scrolled through more comments. "Look at this," he said, pointing to a particularly harsh comment. "They say Adam is the worst disaster to hit the galaxy. They’re treating you like you’re some kind of cosmic villain."

As they continued to watch and read, Sarah’s voice broke the silence, "How did they even figure out it was Adam? The whole city turned to dust, right? What evidence could they possibly have?"

Adam, who had been silently observing the media frenzy, finally spoke, his voice calm but tinged with doubt. "That’s what I’ve been wondering. How did this investigator, Johnson, pinpoint me as the suspect? It’s like he pulled my name out of thin air."

Ethan, always the analytical one, chimed in, "It doesn’t add up. Unless they have some sort of advanced technology we don’t know about, or maybe Johnson has some hidden abilities to uncover the truth."

Throughout the conversation, Adam remained composed on the outside, but internally he was riddled with questions about the methods used to identify him as the culprit.

"Adam, what’s our next move? What should we do now?" asked Mia, her eyes conveying a mix of determination and concern.

Leo, always the protective one, added, "We’re in this together, Adam. No matter what happens, we’ll stand by your side and fight till the end." The others nodded in agreement, their unity evident in their resolved faces.

Sarah, with a reassuring smile, said, "We’ve faced challenges before, and this is no different. We’ll get through this, as a team."

Touched by their loyalty and willingness to face the looming dangers with him, Adam felt a surge of warmth in his heart. However, he knew the risks were too high and the odds too dangerous for them to share. In a decisive moment, he quietly knocked them out, one by one, ensuring they were unconscious before they could protest.

With his teammates now unconscious, Adam carefully tied them with ropes, securing them gently to prevent any harm. He whispered, "I can’t let you get dragged into this chaos. The public sees me as the villain, but you still have a chance to lead a normal life. I’ll face this alone."

After ensuring they were safe and would not awaken too soon, Adam activated his skeletal wings, creating a gust of wind as they unfurled. With a heavy heart but a determined spirit, he took one last look at his teammates and then soared into the sky, heading towards a distant city far from where his friends lay.

Adam’s actions were driven by a desire to protect his team from the fallout of the accusations against him, shouldering the burden alone to spare them from the potential dangers that lay ahead.

As Caleb landed in a dark alley, he quickly transformed his appearance into that of a middle-aged man. He donned a shabby brown coat, a hat pulled low to shadow his face, and a pair of glasses to conceal his eyes, blending seamlessly into the crowd.

Just as he stepped out onto the bustling street, attempting to merge with the passersby, his path was abruptly blocked. In front of him stood the formidable K731 Dark Devils, the advanced robots he had heard about. Their sleek, metallic bodies glinted under the streetlights, and their red optical sensors fixed on him, recognizing him despite his disguise. Within moments, 28 of these menacing robots had him completely surrounded, their weapons aimed and ready.

Above the scene, a helicopter hovered, carrying a reporter who was broadcasting live. The reporter, a well-known female journalist, leaned into the camera with a triumphant smile, holding her microphone tightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing live the capture of the suspect responsible for the destruction of Ethan city," she announced, her voice laced with excitement. "Thanks to the advanced tracking capabilities of these remarkable robots, the suspect’s attempt at freedom has come to a sudden halt."

She pointed to Caleb, who stood calmly among the encircling robots. "Look at him, disguised as a middle-aged man, thinking he could fool the world and escape justice. But no matter how perfect his disguise, he couldn’t outsmart these robots."

The broadcaster continued, her words flowing with a mix of mockery and awe. "There he is, folks, the man behind the catastrophe, now trapped by the very technology he thought he could evade. This is a testament to our advancements and a clear message that no one, no matter how powerful, can escape the long arm of justice."

Caleb, despite his calm exterior, felt a growing annoyance at the female broadcaster’s sensational commentary. As he stood encircled by the robots, the sounds of the city around him shifted rapidly. The once bustling streets emptied in a wave of panic; people fled in all directions, their faces etched with fear as they realized the gravity of the situation unfolding before them.

However, not everyone was keen to leave the scene. At a safe distance, some onlookers, driven by curiosity and the thrill of witnessing such an event, stayed back. They took out their devices, capturing images and recording videos of Caleb surrounded by the menacing robots. The glow of their screens illuminated their faces, a mix of excitement and disbelief painting their features.

Caleb could hear snippets of conversations and comments from these spectators. "Look at that! They finally cornered him, the guy who blew up a whole city!" one person exclaimed, their voice tinged with a mix of awe and condemnation.

"He doesn’t look so tough now, surrounded by those robots. I bet he’s regretting his actions," another spectator remarked, confidently assuming Caleb’s imminent defeat.

A group of teenagers, watching eagerly, laughed among themselves. "He thought he could get away with such a massive attack? What a joke! Those robots are going to tear him apart," one of them said, underestimating Caleb’s abilities and overestimating the robots’.

Among the murmurs and exclamations, comments like "He’s finished for sure, no one can escape from those Dark Devils!" and "This is going to be epic, watching the mighty fall!"
