Chapter 38: From a Constellation
Buzz!
Golden flames appeared in his hand and instantly enveloped his entire body.
"Ahhhhhhh..." He screamed loudly for a few moments and when his scream disappeared along with the golden flames, the dust from his body flew in the air as they were blown away by the wind.
Oliver wasn't interested in his shadow, so he didn't activate his skill.
After that, he looked at the man whose ears were full of earrings.
The latter spontaneously fell into a sitting position, breathless and frightened.
The man he had called big bro all this time became ashes in just an instant and he saw it all.
Being too scared, he accidentally peed in his pants, wetting them without feeling it.
Oliver saw that but it didn't make him react in any way.
This kind of thing is understandable for anyone who is too scared. Maybe the man had been holding back for too long from the start.
"Tell me what you're kidnapping people for," Oliver said as he approached him.
He didn't speak in a special tone or show any expression because he was sure the man would answer right away.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but don't kill me," he replied hastily.
Just speaking like that actually made his breath catch.
Oliver continued to stare at him without giving him an answer.
In essence, he just wanted an explanation. Whether he let him go later or not was something he would decide later.
Since there was no answer, the man became hesitant.
Unfortunately, his hesitation didn't make him lose his fear of not explaining to Oliver.
"W-we're doing this because it was requested by a Constellation. We got the skills for free from him just by accepting this job and we were immediately ordered to do the kidnapping, starting from a small kidnapping first for a while because the constellation said it wanted some samples, and later we had to do a big kidnapping when we had become stronger.
We're not the only ones who accepted this job, there are many others out there," he said.
"What? What would a Constellation ask to kidnap humans for?" Oliver couldn't be more astonished now.
This actually sounded absurd, but it was real in front of him.
Those gangsters did want to kidnap him and Kim Hana plus they had skills that they shouldn't be able to buy with their powers.
The man whose ears were full of earrings shook his head after Oliver asked.
"I really don't know the purpose. We just accepted this job for the sake of skill. Maybe the man who told us about this job knew it was because we had to hand over the people we kidnapped to him," he said.
"And who is that man?" Oliver asked.
"He's the Mayor of Vera," the man replied.
"The mayor?" Oliver was dumbfounded because he was quite familiar with the man.
Not that he knew him, but as someone who lived in Vera, he naturally saw him often.
It's not just seeing him on tv, but also in person.
He was known as a kind-hearted man and liked to meet the community or young people.
His school, for example, he had visited many times.
Of course, it was surprising to hear him being the one who ordered these gangsters to kidnap.
It was just that, when he recalled, there were indeed bad rumors about him from his political opponents.
They sometimes said he was the most hypocritical and lying man and kept pretending to be good to cover up his crimes.
Oliver wasn't sure because he rarely watched political news, so he didn't know much.
"Can I go?" Just as he was thinking, the man suddenly asked.
Oliver looked at him again and smiled coldly as he replied, "stay here forever!"
Shua!
The figure of Shadow Dragozilla General appeared behind him and twisted his neck until it broke.
He died instantly.
Now it was not him who killed him, but that General Dragozilla.
Of course, he could not let him live.
What if he went back to the mayor and told him all this.
That would be a serious problem.
After that, he walked back to the hole where Kim Hana was trapped.
The woman still looked uncomfortable. When she saw him, she quickly said, "Oliver, can you get me out of here immediately?"
Perhaps because of seeing the corpse above, her unsettled mind began to think Oliver wouldn't help her out.
From Oliver's point of view, her expression now looked pitiful.
Without answering, he grabbed the top of the cage and violently pulled it up.
Although it was completely made of iron, with his current physical strength, he could actually lift it up.
Rumble!
The ground trembled as the cage was lifted up while the corpse on top of it fell down and was covered in falling soil.
When observing the cage from the front, Oliver discovered that it had an advanced technological system.
It was naturally not something that just anyone could obtain.
After observing it, he grasped the two irons of the cage, then pushed each of them to widen the gap between the two irons.
He chose not to use other means because he wanted to measure his physical strength.
Although it was a little difficult, he was able to slowly push the two irons until they curved.
Kim Hana was quite surprised. When she saw that the gap between the two irons was enough for her body, she quickly got out.
Phew!
She let out a sigh of relief, finally looking calm.
Her eyes looked at the second corpse there, the one with the crooked neck.
She who was originally calm was somewhat trembling because of that.
Glancing at Oliver, she was somewhat scared yet still happy when she saw his face.
In the end, she remained silent without questioning his actions.
Meanwhile, Oliver told the group chat about everything he had encountered here.
He thought the constellations in the group knew what the real reason for this kind of kidnapping was.
