Near Pojun Academy, there is a large shopping mall on a national scale.
This shopping mall is located in the city center, so not only does it have a large flow of people, but also many foreign tourists visit it, making it extremely lively at any time, especially during holidays. Students in the academy will choose to spend their holidays here for entertainment and fun.
Such a large shopping mall on a national scale has naturally closed its doors in such a late night, leaving the building in darkness.
However, here, at this moment, there is not completely no one.
"boom-!"
With the sound of a gunshot, in the square on the first floor of the shopping mall, a man in a security uniform fell slowly, turning the ground red, completely losing his life.
Looking carefully, around the square, security guards were lying in a pool of blood one after another. It was not just one person who lost his life.
What caused all this was a group of terrorists wearing soldier-like combat uniforms, holding guns in their hands, and with sadistic smiles on their faces, laughing as if they were immersed in fun.
"what the hell."
"Is this the end?"
"It's so boring!"
A group of violent tormentors just laughed and said sarcastic remarks, and none of them took what they were doing seriously and talked wantonly.
Among such a group of terrorists, there was one person who sat on a bench in the square and witnessed all this happening.
It was a man with tattoos on his face and soldiers carrying firearms guarding him. Even though he witnessed the tragic situation in front of him, he still always had a smile on his face.
On the man's body, he wore a cloak and coat like that of a believer. His whole body was dark in color and looked extremely ominous.
The man in black just watched the killing in front of him as if he was enjoying a good show. The smile on his face never disappeared, and he even played with his fingers leisurely.
To be more precise, it should be said that he was playing with the pair of ornament-like rings on the fingers of both hands.
Not long after, the group of terrorists came together.
Among them, the leader, a man who looked extremely violent, said this to the man in black.
"Sir Smile, we are done playing, but is this really good?"
The violent man said these words with a cheerful smile.
"Isn't our purpose to demand ransom for the hostages from the government of this country? Is it really okay to kill all the hostages like this?"
As he said this, the violent man showed no regrets at all. Instead, he looked like he hadn't killed enough and wasn't enjoying himself enough.
Most of the other terrorists are like this, looking like they haven't had enough fun, which is simply the greatest desecration of life.
Regarding this...
"There's nothing we can do about it, Metallurgy."
The man called Smile spoke calmly to the violent man.
"If you want to seek ransom for the hostages, then yesterday is the best time to do it. During the holidays, there are the most people in this shopping mall. If you arrest these people, you can get the most ransom. It’s a pity that we didn’t take action yesterday.”
A smile is like a sign of kindness.
However, the tyrannical man known as Metallurg was still confused.
"Then why didn't we start yesterday? Haven't we been here for several days?"
The doubts of metallurgy are also the doubts of others.
"Yes, Master Smile."
"Why didn't you do anything yesterday?"
"We've all been preparing for this for so long."
"Master Smile also said before that our plan was to occupy this place yesterday, control all the hostages first, and then move away all the valuable things here. When the government's ransom is received, we will kill all the hostages. Then retreat according to the prescribed route and get all the funds back, right?"
"As a result, we waited until today to take action. Moreover, it was late at night when only security guards were on duty. No one came over. How could we capture the hostages?"
"that is."
One by one, the terrorists said extremely dangerous words. If there were ordinary people around, they would have been frightened and fainted by such conversations.
But the smile still kept the smile on his face, looking at everyone.
"Are you questioning my decision?"
Say this with a smile.
"...!"
However, seeing this smile, all the terrorists present, no matter how violent and cruel they were, their expressions froze at this moment, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes.
Because everyone knows that, in fact, among the people present, the most cruel one should be this man who always has a smile on his face.
The reason why he is called Smile is not because he always has a smile on his face, but because he can keep smiling and brutally kill everyone in front of him.
Even if those people were Smiling's men and all the terrorists present, that would be the same.
In this case, there is no reason for everyone not to be frightened.
At this moment, everyone hurriedly spoke up.
"I...how can we question Lord Smile's decision?"
"Just... that's it!"
"We're just a little curious!"
"I am definitely not questioning Lord Smile's decision!"
All the terrorists, including Metallurgy, said this as if they were sorry.
"That's good."
Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction and spoke.
"This way you can be considered an honorary citizen of the Revolutionary Army."
——〈Revolutionary Army〉.
Most people may not know what this name means.
Because this name is only circulated within this force, and all the people who belong to this force call their organization this way.
In the mouths of ordinary people, they have another name.
——〈Rebel Army〉.
As famous as the "Alliance" and "The Alliance", as a third-party force in the world, it has been controlling the underground world for a long time and is a notorious criminal organization around the world - the "Rebel Army".
They believe that swordsmen are humans chosen by God, and position ordinary people as lower creatures. They intend to use this classification method to destroy the current social structure and build a new world in which swordsmen rule lower humans. world.
The people present are members of the "Rebel Army", and their purpose is to occupy this nationwide shopping mall and collect the ransom of the hostages and the property in the shopping mall. This is a common method used by the "Rebel Army" to regularly earn funds. In various countries around the world, there are troops of the same nature as the "Rebel Army" doing the same thing, and this is just one of them.
Originally, this force led by Smile should have occupied this place yesterday and implemented the plan he mentioned.
However, due to the sudden information, Smile gave up the idea.
"The reason why I didn't take action yesterday was because there was news within the organization that a big shot who was close to me and other members of the "Revolutionary Army" had recently appeared in this area, and that big shot didn't like the fearless Killing, and I don’t like to see weak and innocent beings having trouble in front of my eyes, so in order not to make that person unhappy, I didn’t do anything yesterday.”
He explained with a smile and a shrug of his shoulders.
"Big shot?"
The surrounding terrorists looked at each other in shock.
What is the appearance of such a big shot that makes this murderous and unblinking Smiling Master so fearful that he dares not take action
Everyone became curious.
