Chapter 92: Gourmet
Frontier left the lab and headed to headquarters.
When Paul did not tell him the location of the president’s office, he tied it with black cloth and floated it aside.
Of course, by then the Hitchcock company was already in trouble.
“So, warden!”
“What are you doing, you bastard!”
The famous Frontier is heading somewhere with the director of Hitchcock’s First Research Institute tied up. The employees were shocked by the sight, shouted, and approached Frontier to protest.
Of course, ordinary employees could not stop Frontier. I couldn’t even get it to slow down in the first place.
“Ugh! town! town!”
Paul couldn’t speak out because the entire area around his mouth was blocked by black water. Still, he was yelling hard at the employees.
But it wasn’t a cry for help.
‘Please don’t do anything useless and go back!’
When he left the laboratory after hearing the story about his cannibalistic desires, Frondier’s appearance was extremely creepy.
The Frondier who was talking while tying him up was scary enough, but the Frondier now is not at that level.
If you accidentally touch it, the company called Hitchcock may end within today.
“You bastard.”
One of the employees came running towards him, as if he was enraged by the sight of Frondier walking away while completely ignoring him.
“I really want to get married, seo… … .”
And while he was about to swing his fist, he swallowed his saliva when he saw the look in Frondier’s eyes. He paused for a moment.
Even without Paul saying anything, I felt with my body what would happen if I attacked Frontier right now.
At that time, Frondier shifted his gaze to the floating pole.
He didn’t say anything in particular, but conveyed it with his eyes.
‘Do your best.’
“… … ?”
Of course, Paul is not a mind reader, so I don’t know what it means specifically to convey it with your eyes.
Kuuk.
I noticed it right away when Frondier very gently tightened his body with the black cloth.
“Off! “Ugh!!”
Paul let out a very exaggerated scream. In fact, there was no pain because it was only tightened very gently, and the area where it had already been hit hurt more, but Paul was in a lot of pain.
“You cowardly bastard… … !”
The employees who were accurately fooled only stayed around Frontier and did not approach him any further. There, Frontier loosened his grip, and Paul breathed something close to a sigh of relief.
‘I can’t tell if this kid is violent or polite.’
Paul thought. Frontier’s hostage performance just now could have been simpler. You just have to tighten it really hard.
Paul, who knows the power of Black Heaven and Frontier, also knows that it is possible. It must have been a truly sincere scream.
However, Frontier insisted on having Paul act. In fact, Paul’s body has already suffered significant injuries at this point. Tightening your body in this state can be dangerous.
However, looking at the look in Frontier’s eyes as he walks now, I can’t tell if his heart comes from ‘mercy’.
As if to say, there is no need to hurt someone if it can just achieve the same effect.
“You guy, the pro will be here soon! Carrying your neck stiffly like that doesn’t last long!”
One of the employees confidently shouted, apparently already reporting it.
Usually, for minor fights and crimes between people, the police are called, but since the opponent is Frontier, it looks like they called a professional.
“… … “Pro.”
At that time, Frondier’s mouth opened for the first time.
He seemed to think about something for a moment and then nodded slightly.
“It just worked out well.”
“What, what?”
“Tell him to come as soon as possible. “I’m going to the president’s office.”
After saying that, Frontier climbed the emergency stairs. The employees were dumbfounded and just watched from afar.
I don’t know where the president’s office is, but it’s probably on the top floor, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find.
No staff followed while climbing the emergency stairs. He probably went up first using an elevator or something. The reason Frontier didn’t use the elevator was because it was obvious that he would get trapped in it if he tried to go up.
Of course, I could just break it, but I’m walking like this to avoid doing that.
As soon as no one was there, the black cloth covering Paul’s mouth disappeared. Of course, the body was still tied up.
“Yes, you. “What are you trying to do by making things bigger like this?”
“I didn’t bring this up.”
Frondier tried to pass over quietly. At least that’s what I thought when I got here. If there were no problems with these people, even if they were demons, I wanted to talk to them calmly and get information about how to differentiate between demons and humans. If they are innocent.
However, the head of the research center tried to kill Frontier himself, and the company is practicing cannibalism somewhere within the company? Hitchcock too? This is a problem that cannot be ignored.
Paul chatted enthusiastically to Frondier, who was trotting up the stairs.
“Do you know how big this company is? “The pro will arrive before you even find it.”
“okay. “I understand that the chairman is a man-eater.”
In fact, it was a problem I had known about since the location of the chairman’s office was not mentioned.
Frontier said one more thing.
“Even if I don’t know, the staff will tell me.”
“What?”
“I told the staff I was going to the ‘Chairman’s Office.’ Employees will gather to stop me. “Then the chairman’s office will be located where the most employees are concentrated.”
Paul was speechless. Clearly, Paul was the only one who knew about the situation just now and that Frontier did not know the location of the president’s office.
At the time, Paul was covering his mouth, so he couldn’t tell the truth. I didn’t even think about saying it in the first place.
“… … ! “I see, that’s why they staged a hostage situation!”
Paul realized and exclaimed.
Once it became clear that Paul was Frondier’s hostage, the staff would have been convinced by the sight of Frondier leisurely walking upstairs. Paul confessed the location of the chairman’s office.
“yes. So they will gather in the president’s office without hesitation. “They are telling us.”
As Frontier said so, he reached the top floor and opened the emergency door.
It was definitely a large company, and it was like a maze where you couldn’t tell where you were.
But people’s voices and bustle could be heard even from afar, and the mana could be felt. It was a location that could be known even without Frontier’s sixth sense.
“hmm.”
When Frontier arrived where the people were.
“Indeed, it’s okay to get caught here.”
There were only demons with their wings spread, as if they had already completed their battle stance.
“Anyone who can get up to this floor must be quite high in rank, but are they all devils?”
“Nonsense! We are here because we are the best suited to kill you! Hitchcock doesn’t discriminate between devils and humans!”
under.
Frondier raised his head because he felt like he was going to laugh heartily.
It’s similar to what Frontier said to Paul all day today.
But they are protecting the cannibalistic chairman.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“There’s nothing to hide after coming this far! “I’ll pierce your head!”
One of the demons held out a long spear. The man with devil wings was holding a long spear, so it suited him quite well.
“Roben! no! You guys, eup-eup! town!”
Paul hurriedly shouted something, but Heukcheon covered his mouth again.
Instead, Frontier smiled brightly and said.
“I see. From there, it would be self-defense.”
Saying that, I took a step forward.
Hiss!
The spear blade pierces the space where Frontier was.
Indeed, the devil did not hesitate at those words. He immediately rushed forward and fired a spear at Frondier.
Frondier twisted his body to avoid it, but was secretly impressed.
“You really aimed for the neck. “You’re honest about the devil.”
Crash.
Frontier manipulated Adae. A little more quantity was needed.
Quaaa—!
Black waves pouring out around Frontier. It fills the narrow hallway and approaches the demons like waves.
To be honest, the scene didn’t look like a fight between humans and demons.
“It’s good that you fight first. It’s refreshing. “There is less room to worry.”
“Ugh… … !”
As the dark waters of the Frontier slowly flow toward them, the demons naturally retreat.
This is Hitchcock, to put it in a good way, it is a field of devils, and in a bad way, it is a sanctuary for devils. The devils are the ones who brought no good to this place by destroying it.
Although the company’s hallways are wide, they are no better than the outdoors, and many of the benefits of this space are halved. Moreover, the opponent is Frontier, who is considered the best in terms of his ability to deal with many people.
“I warned you earlier that I would aim for the neck, so I will also give you a warning.”
Frondier stretched out his hand. So that you can aim a little more precisely.
“I’ll aim for the shoulders of the five in front of me right now. “We will shoot at the exact same time.”
“What are you talking about?”
Hiss!
Push-!
As predicted.
The flowing black water stretched out into thorns and stuck in the shoulders of the two. The remaining three barely escaped.
“Ugh… … !”
The two who were hit frowned and backed away.
Black Heaven stabbed their shoulders, but could not pierce them. They couldn’t tell whether it was because they were blocked by an auror or because Frondier was watching.
It was a pain that was bearable, but the tension among the demons was extremely high.
‘… … I had a warning, but I couldn’t avoid it… … !’
Demons’ visual acuity and reflexes are naturally superior to those of humans.
This is not because of differences in body structure, but because familiarity with Aurors means that one can quickly change the body’s performance. A faster engine produces better performance.
Nevertheless, the two were hit by a black sky. There is also the problem of speed, but the main reason is that the Black Heaven’s Thorn has no preparation process.
Usually, when a human shoots a spear, there are many signals that inform the opponent, such as pulling back, muscles applying force, and moving eyes for aiming.
But the black stream just creeps up like water and then spreads out like a thorn.
“Hmm, that’s strange. Just like Jeremy, he can’t respond to the black sky. Still, Pielot managed to avoid it. “I thought Pielot’s starting line was on the same level as the devil’s, but was Pielot ahead of him?”
Frondier muttered something the devil could not understand.
“… … “I felt a little sorry for the devil because I trained him every day using attacks that were difficult for him to counter.”
However, the demons seemed to be alive, even if they didn’t know who that Pielot guy was.
“Now, here’s the next preview.”
“… … ! “You arrogant guy!”
It was obvious what Frontier was going to do, so the demons quickly launched a counterattack. It was decided to break through the black river that approached like a wave.
“Ugh! town!!!”
Paul’s eyes widened when he saw that.
Surprisingly, Paul recognized this situation as accurately as Frontier.
‘… … If you do that, you’ll die.’
Frondier thought at that moment.
The moment the demons try to push away the Black Heaven, the Black Heaven will stretch out onto the walls, floor, and ceiling and attack them all at the same time. Of course, the black sky does not move on its own, but this is the most ideal situation in Frontier’s opinion.
… … In other words, since it is an ideal situation from Frondier’s perspective, Frondier hesitates.
──If they continue as is, they will be annihilated.
“stop.”
As soon as a voice sounded, the demons stopped moving.
“!”
Frontier was purely surprised. The speed of the demons that were charging with their wings spread suddenly stopped.
To stop that speed in an instant, Frontier must be prepared to get hurt. Either build a thick wall in front or pull it in from behind. Either way, it won’t just stop.
But now, they have literally ‘just’ stopped. As that incredible speed was completely lost.
“Don’t be reckless.”
The voice came from inside a room.
It was a voice without any particular dignity or solemnity, as if one were speaking to a friend.
“Let them in. “If this continues, we’ll all die.”
“Shoes, Chairman!”
Someone shouted inadvertently, and the expression changed to a look of regret.
But in terms of flow, the identity of the voice was too obvious.
“Then I won’t hesitate.”
Frondier walked. As I went, I retrieved the black cloth.
The demons glared with eyes burning with anger, but Frondier ignored them all.
‘He’s Hitchcock’s chairman.’
Although we have never met in person.
Hitchcock has many debts, and I don’t know about it.
‘I’m looking forward to seeing what excuse you have prepared.’
Frondier slowly opened the door.
