Chapter 1989: The Search in the Caves -Final
"What are you going to do, Mr Fox?" Kraft asked as he had collected enough information from the Banned Emperor Terrorists that he was able to get the Night Foxes to disguise themselves as them.
Even the communication tool and the encryption signal were spot on that when Fox gave the prompt, the confirmation reply was more than enough to show that the Banned Emperor Terrorists were already waiting to pounce on the Chinese Strike Force.
Apparently, the Banned Emperor Terrorists were more or less ready to die so that the summoning circle would be in effect. This also gave the Chinese Strike Force the confidence that they had completed their tasks. So, it did not take much for the Night Foxes to pretend their deaths since they were capable of not just holding their breath but also forcing their heart to not beat.
It was a skill that Kraft had explicitly forced them to learn with perfection so that they could use it against their foes. It was also the reason why none of the Night Foxes upon learning this particular method had ever doubted Kraft's reason to tap and confirm their assassination targets.
No matter how natural the assassination would be, it was essential to a confirmation strike to ensure that the body could never resurrect again. This meant that the Night Foxes were not only able to cheat death but to ensure death for their foes.
That was why when the Chinese Strike Force noticed the 'ambush', they were quick to report their victory, not knowing that the 'Fox' had set up a trap where when the supposed Banned Emperor Terrorists had died, the summoning circle would light up and summon a Void Being or something equivalent to defeat all of the Elite Force.
"Boo Hoo ~my dear Fox. It is not happening." Kraft smiled as he put both of his hands together and caused the circle to light up. The Fox who was watching from afar had so far not noticed anything wrong with the current process and was eagerly watching the death of the Chinese Strike Force before coming towards it so that the Fox and the Void Being would have some conversation.
Kraft could hear his desires so blatantly from afar that he called Jin and asked if he could lend a hand.
"What am I supposed to do?" Jin had been forcefully teleported to the place where Kraft had called and upon seeing Kraft's devilish face, he knew that he was being called for a reason despite having a talk with Kong Rong.
"You catch on fast my dear Boss. Give me some void energy power. Just enough to have the vibes of it. I do not need much." Kraft said as he gave a side wink showing that he had a plan in mind. At the same time when the summoning circle glows, it also paralysed the entire group, disabling them from moving while popping out smoke.
This bought some precious time for Kraft to converse with Jin in case he wanted to know more. Thankfully, he was able to understand the situation quickly and only asked the essential questions.
"Does this have to do with the traitor?" Jin obliged as he asked that question but instead of attaching himself with a System Rider and calling the monster to obsess him which he had been doing to provide the Void Energy, he did the easy way out by opening a portal and Farasha's head popped out ever so slightly.
Without any questions, Farasha allowed Jin to touch him and the latter was able to transmit the void energy via Farasha and to Kraft.
"Oof. No matter how I felt this energy flowing through me, I could understand why no one could ever comprehend this power and why we were not able to replicate it. This is literally the void of energy but to be able to manipulate a void and harness energy from this?
This is something I still cannot wrap my head from it." Kraft said as he thanked Jin and snapped his finger every so quickly causing Farasha's portal as well as Jin to disappear from the current location. Jin did complain later stating that he could have spectated and enjoyed the show but returning to talk to Kong Rong and informing of his suspicions was equally important.
Soon, Kraft causes a flash among the paralysed strike force and now oozing with Void Energy, the Chinese Strike Force panicked at the unknown feeling. Simultaneously, the Night Foxes also teleported away to make it look as if the summoning circle had consumed their bodies as part of the sacrifice to activate the summoning circle.
When the Fox saw it, he was elated that the summoning worked and was delighted that he was able to kill off an elite group of Chinese security forces. This will undoubtedly increase his chance of climbing up the ladder and trust among the government forces and replace those who had been found by the Internal Security and ultimately Kong Rong.
He had no idea how sleeper agents who had worked perfectly well in their jobs without giving indication were discovered in one sweep and annihilated by Kong Rong. Whether the Head of Internal Security knew all along or there was a traitor among their ranks.
Even if it was the latter, the only person who have knowledge of the sleeper agents were of the highest ranks within the Banned Emperor Terrorist Cells. There was no way they could have slipped up considering they were now said to be in Deep Freeze and only to come out when the time was right.
Not to mention, the last when he checked, the Freezing Adobes were left untouched and the magic guards were not activated at all. That was why Fox was extremely curious about how Kong Rong was able to get sleeper agents' information so accurately. Killing one or two might have been possible, but the entire sleeper agent cell within the Internal Security Agency? That was not beyond occult magic.
"Yo, I do not know who you guys are, but be my meal okay?" Kraft smiled so brightly, it brought terror to the team of paralysed force.
As they struggled to get out of it, they knew that this was a being that they could not defeat if all of them were not able to combine their forces. And even if they did, the leader of the Strike Force felt that they might not be out of this alive. He tried his best to call upon Fox and tell him to call that this operation was a failure.
"Tell the others that the Banned Emperor Terrorists are exhibiting summoning capabilities that are equivalent to the one in the Shenzhen Expo Incident. Hurry!" The leader shouted through the comms but all they heard from the comms were laughter. Pure maniacal laughter that even Kraft was able to hear when the Strike Force kept quiet and understood that they had been betrayed.
After being a Sleeper for so long, there was no doubt that this 'Fox' character that Kraft was hearing finally broke out of character. Why would he not? If Kraft was in the same position as Fox, he too would want to do the same thing as well. Letting others know that he had actively betrayed his teammates for the longest time ever.
The feeling of ruination that had been brought to the team whom he had gone through thick and thin, he could not help but relish in it.
But Kraft felt this was wrong.
Wrong not because this Fox guy was using his nickname. Wrong not because this guy had betrayed the team. Wrong because Kraft should be the only one feeling this way. Kraft should be the only one who brings betrayal and ruination to his teammates but not at the expense of their lives.
That was why he had decided to help the Strike Force to right some wrongs by looking in the direction of Fox and beckoning him to come to the so call summoning circle. When Fox saw it through his binoculars, he initially thought something was amiss and tried to shake that disbelief for a while.
Only at that moment, he suddenly feel his body was being carried and dragged. It was then this 'Fox' had no idea what was going on until he came to his senses that he was being pulled toward Kraft and to the audience he wished to kill.
"What? What is happening?" He never expected the Void Being to be sentient to such an extent and tried to exert his chi. However, the more he attempts to do so, he feels that it is extremely futile as the Void Energy that Kraft's exhibited was absorbing every single ounce of chi that this Fox exudes.
It was to the point where this particular Fox was struggling physically to break out of this certain telekinetic hold so that he could be able to a) escape or b) fight. But no matter how he did that, he was not able to.
"So…my dear audience? What do you think we should do with this …traitor?" Kraft grinned at the supposed leader of the Chinese Strike Force, waiting for his reaction.
