To Be a Power in the Shadows!-Chapter 136

136

You made me angry…..

The guarding duty of the Lawless City route is complete and I return to the underground facility.

Yukime should be back soon.

She must be riding back with a carriage full of gold coins.

After that we can collect the rest of the gold coins and withdraw. All that left is for us to witness their collapse.

Then John Smith would sit cross-legged in the royal capital high-rise hotel and say [As planned. The collapse is upon us……..] while sipping the finest wine with a profound smile and pile of gold coins on his table—-.

So cool.

I went through the underground passage while drawing such delusions.

However, it is awfully quiet.

All the workers were already withdrawn but there’re still guards remaining behind.

Did they have too much free time and fell asleep. Well, I overdid it and no one could reach this place after all.

[Fufufu…….]

I showed my white teeth with a smile and walk with a light footstep to the front of the vault.

[Are…….?]

Why is the vault door unlocked………..?

Moreover, it doesn’t seem like it was opened using a key but forced opened.

[N, no way, don’t tell me………]

My security should have been perfect.

I haven’t let even one rat pass through Lawless City.

My legs are shaking.

My hand also shaking.

My body overflowing with cold sweat.

[i, i, i, ii, it, it will surely be fine…..]

Then I opened the half-open vault door.

The inside was…………empty.

That golden mountains has disappeared without a trace.

[It. it’s a lie……]

The power escaped my knees and I crumbled on the spot.

[How, Why…………..]

My gold coins………….

[Ha, ha-haha, it’s a dream….. no, a bad dream….I am going to become [A POWER IN THE SHADOW]…….]

I used my shaking hand to fold my all-backed hair and stand up.

It will be fine, It has to be.

Yukime may have brought it out for some reason.

And if someone has robbed us, it would take sometimes to transport all that gold. Unless they are very skilled then they shouldn’t have gone far.

I walk out of the vault with my shaking knees.

When I felt two presences approaching, I feign to be calm.

[——John-sama!!]

Two sexy beauties are calling my name.

They were Yukime’s aides, Natsu and Kana.

I asked the two who are behaving unusually.

[What happened?]

Something did happen right? there must have been something, Why you ask? because the vault have been swept clean.

Yukime-sama——Yukime-sama was captured by Gettan!

[What…..did you say…..?

Yukime was…….Gettan………I see!

Everything start to be connected in my head and I laugh out loud.

[John-sama……?]

[I see, so it was like that……]

The skeptical Natsu and Kana saw what inside the opened vault behind me.

[Th, This is—–!]

[D, don’t tell me, he———!! but it was too fast…..]

The two’s eyes were wide opened due to astonishment.

[Do you know where he is?]

[Y, Yes…..!]

[Then there’s no problem. I will retrieve everything immediately.]

Then I pass through the two people, the exploding magic power shake the atmosphere.

[S, so much magic power !?]

[Is, is this John Smith’s true power?]

Moreover I manipulate the steel wire and cut the air causing the Shushushushu sound and draw a beautiful line of light.

[Gettan…. you have made me angry……!]

Now, let’s begin the retaliation——.
