The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 215: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 18

When night slowly approaches, the surrounding around the city started getting darker and darker as the daylight was steadily getting consumed by the growing darkness caused by the fading sun over the horizon.

As the shadow of darkness touched below the walls of the city, four grappling hooks were immediately thrown on top of the walls and embedded themselves on hard objects to prevent them from returning back to the ground.

The growing shadow of the darkness seemingly slowly consumed the walls, and along with it was Kayn's group using it to hide as they silently climb up the top.

Using the darkness as cover, Kayn's group soon reached the top of the wall where there was nobody guarding nearby.

The evening was still quickly approaching, so Kayn's group didn't waste time as any moment now the guards on top of the walls would no doubt increase as measures for the upcoming special ball for the gathering of important members of the Assembly of Freedom.

Using the same rope, they started descending down to the other side of the wall.

"It wasn't that difficult after all," Gilbert can't help saying in a remark.

"This is the result of patience," Randy responded.

"Not really," Kayn shook his head. "We were just in the right place at the right time,"

That's right! This success is the product of timing.

"Anyways," Kayn began observing their surrounding to prepare for the next thing to do.

At this moment, they've landed on the back of what seems to be a warehouse. It was huge, thus being the perfect location to hide.

"What do you think this warehouse is for?" Gilbert can't help wanting to know.

There was a door to the back of the warehouse, and since they still don't have a plan on what to do next, he went inside in hopes of helping everyone.

Charles quickly followed Gilbert as he also wanted to help.

On the other hand, Randy went to the side of the warehouse to see where they are right now. He had made a map of some parts of this city after the first visit. That map should still be of some use as long as he finds some landmarks nearby.

Seeing everyone is gone, Kayn turned to look at Natas by his side.

During the time they were waiting, Natas had actually gone inside the city to gather information that they can use once they are finally inside. And unbeknownst to everyone, it was actually Natas that specifically suggested going here instead of the other unguarded parts of the wall.

"So, why did you suggest that we go from this location?"

"Gilbert should be able to tell you soon," Natas doesn't want to ruin the surprise.

Speak of the devil.

"Kayn, I think you should come here inside and check," Gilbert motioned his hand to call out for Kayn.

Even without needing to ask, Kayn can already guess that Gilbert has found something very exciting.

Randy has also returned, so he didn't wait for Kayn and got inside the warehouse.

Kayn followed suit while expecting something that can help them with their current situation.

After walking through the long hallway of the back entrance, Kayn can't help noticing a bunch of men lying on the ground. They were all dead.

"You cleaned the place?" Kayn wanted to know if they hadn't accidentally left any place uncleared.

"We searched every nook and cranny to make sure not leave a single one alive," Gilbert assures everyone.

Not long after, they finally reached the object that's been making Gilbert excited along the way.

It was a motor wagon. Four of them to be exact.

"It seems like Gilbert just helped us find a way to sneak ourselves inside the ball," Kayn can't help smiling.

As evening came, guests for the ball started arriving one by one. In response to this, hundreds of motor wagons came to pick each of them up from the entrance of the city and take them to the venue of the event.

The chauffeur of four of those motor wagons was Kayn's group.

After picking up the guests assigned to them, or more like the guests they've stolen after killing the four actual chauffeurs, they then followed the other motor wagons to the venue of the ball.

When Kayn's group reached the venue, the initial four motor wagons has now become two, and the four guests they were supposed to escort to the venue has disappeared.

It's quite evident already happened to those people, especially considering they are allies with the Assembly of Freedom.

Dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a mask that fits the theme of the ball, Kayn and Gilbert exited their motor wagon.

They walked to the entrance of the building and gave the receptionist the names of the two men they were currently disguised as.

And just like that, they got inside the venue of the ball.

Not long after, Charles and Randy followed inside.

"Let's go look for Jericho and the others," Kayn ordered everyone.

As they were already aware of what Jericho and his group are wearing for tonight's ball, it didn't take them long enough to find where they are.

"So, how's the ball?" Kayn muttered as he walked behind Jericho.

"Kayn?" Jericho asked in surprise. "I didn't expect that you'd get in so fast,"

"It wasn't hard," Kayn started explaining the process of how they sneaked inside.

"How about the others?"

"They're with me," Kayn pointed at the others who are hiding within the crowd using his eyes.

Gilbert, Charles, and Randy raised their respective cups to Jericho the moment the latter looks in their direction.

"Have you already met with Wesley?" Kayn can't help asking.

"We already did, at the entrance. We talked about the plan you propose to me, and he said that Chief Kylo agreed with it," Jericho smiled.

"Great," Kayn felt delighted about it. "We will send some of your men to inform the others once the plan is implemented,"

"Alright," Jericho acknowledged.

"Anyways, where's Jude?" Kayn looks around and seems to not find Jude.

"He's on the food counter," Jericho pointed at the person who was currently grabbing as many portions of food from the table.

"I didn't expect him to be a foodie,"

"He isn't. It is for Jadiel," Jericho turns his head around again to point at Jadiel who is now munching on every plate that Jude has prepared for him.
