The spokesperson raises both hands to refrain from the loud questions.
After the commotion has subsided for some time, he opens his mouth again.
The screen again closes the spokesperson.
“The exact circumstances are still under investigation… President Liam was murdered in the Oval Office of the White House. This is unprecedented and unacceptable in U.S. history. We will immediately begin an exhaustive search for the unknown terrorist group they claim to be responsible for.” I am making it clear here that the United States will never stop its efforts, no matter how long it takes to find out all the perpetrators and those involved.”
The spokesperson finished the conversation in a determined tone.
He turns right away.
The reporters hurriedly ask questions, but he just leaves.
“You can turn the volume down a bit. For the time being, it will be full of speculative reports with the same content rehash.”
At Aiden’s words, Rivy turned down the news, and everyone turned to look at each other on the noisy TV screen.
Yang Gwang-gwang opened his mouth without realizing that he was not awake.
“The president of the United States is assassinated in the Oval Office? Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh funny.”
Before he could even finish his own words, Yang Yang-gwang took out his phone and began to look carefully.
It was because I even had suspicions that the TV screen might have been manipulated to deceive Yuhan Wol and himself.
The assassination of the President of the United States was therefore unrealistic.
But seeing that all the news is pouring out breaking news, it seems that it was a futile idea.
“It’s not even a fuss…”
Aiden, who was silently looking at Yang Yang-gwang, turned his head and asked.
“What do you think?”
“Well….”
Cain paused for a moment at the question, then opened his mouth.
“There’s only one thought that comes to mind right now.”
“…Is that so? Me too.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the conversation between the two.
Cain’s next words were in a non-trivial tone.
“It’s BH’s job.”
Then everyone’s eyes turned to Aiden, and he nodded heavily as if he was thinking the same thing.
“Yeah. That’s what I think too. BH… Who in the world could do such a thing without superhumans?”
However, Yang Gwang’s reaction seems to not be readily understood.
“It’s that superhumans can actually do that. Even so… can’t we just conclude that BH is a criminal?
That’s a valid word.
So, how can you say something so confident and definitive?
Aiden answered with a smile at Yang Yang-gwang’s challenging gaze.
“Intuition.”
“…?”
Cain said to Yang Gwang, who had a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
“As anyone who knows, knows, Bruce and President Liam had a bad relationship quite some time ago.”
“Are you saying that it’s just BH’s fault?”
“So I said. Intuition.”
“…”
Cain opened his mouth again.
“Come on… stop joking around, there are quite a few people like you who would want to kill President Liam. But who among them actually has the ability to do such a thing? Even in the White House? Terrorist groups never have that kind of ability. No. It’s very unlikely that he would do it openly, so quietly… and an assassination in the office? Impossible, but Bruce has the motivation and the ability to do such a thing. Of course, we’re the only ones who know about it. only.”
I agree with him that he is the most likely suspect.
If you focus on its feasibility.
“…what abilities do you need… to assassinate the president of the United States in the White House?”
At that moment, everyone was lost in thought at Bertrand’s sudden words.
“It seems that no one knew about it, looking at the atmosphere…”
“I don’t know with what ability he did that, but one thing seems certain. BH has a superman with that kind of power. Superman or… Superman.”
Yang Gwang looked at Aiden’s face as he spoke.
His guesses come to mind.
‘Maybe S-class is given to superhumans who have enlightened non-physical abilities, la… .’
While everyone was in thought, Cain suddenly opened his mouth.
“You were lucky.”
Everyone looks back at him wondering what he is talking about.
“I don’t know exactly what superhuman powers there are, but there’s no doubt that they’re great anyway. If those superhumans pursued us, we might not have succeeded in escaping. Maybe… Bruce was plotting things like that, so we couldn’t I don’t know if it was easier to get out of their grasp.”
Aiden nodded his head as if sympathizing.
“Yeah. When he was preparing for his escape, Bruce was a bit strangely absent. He was so busy that he didn’t stop by or do it often… But it was definitely different. I don’t know… but I felt that way. So I thought that something important was going on, but it went well. I don’t know what it is, but it will be positive for escaping.”
In response to Aiden’s words, Cain turned and looked at Yuhan Wol and added more words.
“So are you.”
Aiden continued.
“Yeah. I guess I was lucky. For both us and you. I thought things went smoothly, but now I see that Bruce is preparing such a big thing, so he doesn’t seem to pay much attention to the little things.”
Yuhan Wol also nodded his head as a sign of sympathy or agreement, which catches Yang Kwang’s eyes.
‘I think my brother was thinking the same thing… .’
If those two guesses are correct… That’s right, I was really lucky.
‘However… ‘
There were still unanswered questions.
Let’s assume that this is really what BH did, as they are sure.
Then why did you do such a thing?
“Then why did you do that? Well… They said they weren’t on good terms in the past, but isn’t that a long time ago?”
“I don’t know. Exactly what happened between the two of them. So what kind of personal feelings lingered for so long.”
Aiden leaned against the backrest, folded his arms, and continued.
“But, you’re right, too. Bruce wouldn’t just assassinate the president of the United States out of personal feelings. There must have been something else going on.”
“I mean. That’s what I mean. Isn’t this too big of a deal to just pay back the old grudges? The US government’s pursuit will start right away, so what’s the benefit worth taking such a risk…”
Aiden took the word by touching his chin.
“Well, well… Since we don’t know the existence of superhumans, there are practically no limits to our pursuit. We can’t conduct an investigation considering such unrealistic possibilities. It’s not going to be very big. Hmmm, it’s good for him… What comes to mind right now is…”
“What comes to mind?”
Despite Yang Gwang’s question, Aiden looked at Yuhan Wol and asked without answering right away.
“Hey… you don’t have anything to say?”
Yuhan-wol, who was silent for a moment, answered.
“The inside story… I don’t know. However, I can guess the aftermath of the revealed situation.”
“Yeah? Something?”
“For example, horror. I can kill anyone I want like this. It could be an example of sorts.”
“Hmm. I think the same… It would have been much easier to assassinate the president while he was on an outside schedule, but I dared to kill him while he was in the White House. I mean. Why?”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
“I’m trying to provoke fear. I’m telling the heads of other countries to see it. Look. You guys can make anything like this if you want to. So… won’t all those in power be spared? The President of the United States died in his own room. , there’s no guarantee that they’ll be safe, right?”
Yuhan-wol nodded at Aiden’s reaction.
“Yes. And that fear will also affect the general public. The United States is the most powerful force on the planet right now. There is an unknown force somewhere that can kill even the apex of that force.”
Yuhanwol’s continuous voice echoed in the hall.
“America is no longer inaccessible. It will be the beginning of change, making people change their minds.”
‘Change… .’
Rivy’s comment as he shook his head.
“Isn’t there a more direct target?”
“Well… Maybe it was because I just wanted to use the new power I had. It doesn’t seem like it… but if there is a guarantee that I will never get caught, wouldn’t there have been a desire to try it at least once?”
Cain, who was listening to Aiden’s words, added more.
“I think the superficial reason that the terrorist group has revealed may really be one of the main reasons. The dismantlement of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons would be scary even to superhumans. As is the present humanity itself. If Bruce wants to usher in an era of a completely new human being If we do, nuclear weapons will be something that must be liquidated.”
“Um… First of all, we don’t know for sure, but let’s assume that BH assassinated the president of the United States with a very high probability.”
At the end of Aiden’s words, everyone is immersed in their thoughts for a moment.
heavy atmosphere.
You have to deal with an enemy with such great powers.
match
Aiden slapped his hand on the wall to evoke the surroundings, and said with a bright expression.
“Come on. It’s impossible to understand if you think about it for a long time anyway, so let’s wrap it up at this point. And it turned out better. I think this situation will be a good thing for us. So let’s think positively.”
“why?”
He answered Yang Gwang’s question.
“I don’t know if BH is the strongest force in the dark, but let’s take a look. The United States is the most powerful force on earth right now. The head of that force was assassinated. So, will the United States stand still?
That’s right.
his voice continues.
“Think about it. The atmosphere around the world will become incredibly cold in the future, and the borders and security will be greatly strengthened. Then, the scope of BH’s movement will be greatly reduced. Because the number of humanoid superhumans is limited.”
Cain received the words as if he was sympathetic.
“Things like that… probably planned before our very existence. Thanks anyway. For us now.”
“Then… should we move quickly?”
When the activities of BH are limited, the gap should be narrowed as much as possible and as much as possible.
If that’s the case, isn’t one hour in a hurry?
“Yeah. I’ll have to move right away.”
When Aiden nodded and answered as if yes, Yuhan-wol asked.
“Then… where do you want to go?”
While everyone’s eyes gathered, Aiden’s mouth opened.
“China, Shanghai.”
