As Even charged past, targeting the manipulators at the front, the hired guns hesitantly lowered their

weapons.

Seeing his opportunity slipping away, Mr. Sextus, the gruff enforcer who could run no more, spun

around to face the Siren Organization head–on.

Til take you all down with me!”

Gun in hand, he aimed straight for Evan’s head. But his draw was sluggish compared to Evan’s

reflexes, and a bullet pierced Mr. Sextus‘ skull before he could fire.

His bulky frame crumpled to the ground, and the remaining nine manipulators, witnessing their leader’s

fall, ceased their futile

escape.

“Everyone, ready up!”

“Fire at will!”

The manipulators of Area Opaca were well–trained; with Mr. Sextus gone, command fell to 1-7.

At 1-7’s signal, nine guns rose in unison, raining a hail of bullets upon the Siren Organization.

The moment Mr. Sextus hit the floor, they were prepared to go down fighting. But Evan had no intention

of a mutual destruction.

“Cover yourselves! Take them down!”

Evan’s order unleashed a frenzy of gunfire. Although Siren operatives took hits, their veteran instincts

kept them from lethal

harm.

After five minutes of intense gunfire, all nine manipulators were down.

Then, through the crowd, Bernard cloaked in the chill of resolve approached. His thick lashes lowered

slowly, sweeping over the fallen foes.

He’s already taken down ten, with another thirty–nine still on the list.

Bernard’s eyes turned toward the escape route to District B.

“Move out to District B,” he commanded.

The manipulators in District A hadn’t managed to destroy the surveillance, so their counterparts in

District B had witnessed everything.

The mere thought of that cold, determined man heading their way sent a wave of panic through them.

“Get ready! The moment they’re in blast range, blow it!”

1-8, the chief of District B, planned to obliterate the Siren Organization in the tunnel, but as he gave the

order, Bernard’s piercing

gaze found the camera.

His murderous stare alone seemed to sever the connection, and in the blink of an eye, all screens went

dark.

“Damn it!” cursed 1-8, issuing another command in desperation. “Detonate the charges! Block their

path!”

But Bernard, anticipating the move, had already led his team back the way they came.

Soon enough, 1-8 saw Bernard’s figure appearing on the entrance cameras to District B.

“Damn!”

Unlike Mr. Sextus‘ determination to go down with his enemy, 1-8 was more concerned with his own

“Boss, we’ve lost District A, and Bernard’s crew is storming District B. What’s our play?”

Unable to stand idle as defeat loomed, Yates muttered, “Hold the line, I’m on my way,” before quickly

heading to the escape room beneath the biozone.

Meanwhile, Bernard split his force, directing Evan and Gianna to storm Districts B and C, respectively,

while he made his way to the biozone.

He knew that within lay an escape room impregnable to outsiders.

If he were Yates, that’s where he’d hide his ace in the hole.

That was why Bernard hadn’t sought out Eleanor immediately upon his arrival.
