The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 18: Sneaking around

In the next moment, Kayn prepared himself before finally moving inside the Technological Building with Natas who is moving ahead of him to act as his scout.

Since he doesn't have to worry about the CCTVs and motion detector sensors anymore due to Natas' meddling with the security room, Kayn was quickly able to reach the corridor that leads towards the underground basement of the Technological Building after sneaking with some slight difficulty from the Superhuman bodyguards along the way. During the process, he learned of their location, their strength, and possible escape routes he could exploit to get out of this building once he is done with the matters related to Rowan Starlight.

The place where the corridor with the door leading to the underground basement was the only location in the Technological Building that is important to Kayn, thus he didn't bother to waste more time checking the other places. Moreover, Natas already did a rough search on them a while ago and he had informed him while he was sneaking around that there is nothing much to be found other than high-tech stuff and even more high-tech stuff, which he mentioned that he doesn't know what for because of his lack of knowledge about them. Anyways, he also couldn't care less about confirming their function and purpose, so he doesn't bother.

Upon arriving, Kayn sneaked a short glance at the two Superhuman bodyguards who are blocking the door to the underground basement before returning to where he was hiding, to discuss with Natas what they should do.

"Every ten minutes, the guards in front of that door would be switched to another group. During that time, there is a two minutes gap for you to move and get inside without anyone noticing. Don't worry about the door, it has no lock nor any security measures installed, so you can just go and open it to get in," Natas informed Kayn.

"Understood," Kayn nodded his head as he checked the time on his phone. In the process, he made sure to turn off the notification sound in case his phone would suddenly make a noise at the wrong time. "How long has already passed since the last switch?"

"Seven minutes or so,"

"Oh, around two minutes before we move," Kayn said as he decided to wait patiently.

In that span of two minutes time, Kayn spent it calming himself and preparing mentally for every possible scenario that could happen. He also checked on himself to make sure he's in the right condition to fight.

As time continued to tick, the anxiousness that Kayn felt in his heart was slowly disappearing. Frankly speaking, a while ago he was still feeling a bit hesitant about doing this, but right now his mind has already become decisive enough. One of the main reasons is that he has been steadily adapting to his younger body until now so as to make a plan on what he should focus on improving for the future.

To be honest, in his mind yesterday, he only thought of giving himself ample time to condition his body and mind before finally entering the 'Tower' once again. He already made some preparations last night for how it would go; such as he will simply relax, working out, spending some time with himself, and maybe gathering some relevant data and information every now and then to make some basic layout of his plans, and take some breather from everything that he had gone through in the second life, instead of doing serious kinds of stuff like what he is doing right now, again...

After all, it's not every day that he'd be given something like this — free time.

Furthermore, once he enters the 'Tower', he is already expecting that he'd have to constantly be focused and preoccupied with matters relating to becoming stronger, gathering his new comrades, forming new allies, and making sure that they won't betray him like the previous ones, taking his revenge, preventing World President Nicholas from stopping him, and making preparations to destroy the 'Tower'.

Never in his wildest imaginations did he ever expect that just a day after he got reincarnated ten years in the past, he would immediately be in a close to a life-and-death scenario. It's as if like he could never be able to take a rest and have free time for himself as long as the 'Tower' still exists.

"Maybe after this, there's a chance to do that, I hope…"

"Did you say anything?" Natas looked at Kayn after hearing the latter murmuring something.

"Nothing,"

"Anyways, go and prepare yourself, since they are about to leave from their spot," Natas immediately told Kayn what to do.

Kayn silently comply.

In the next moment, the two Superhuman bodyguards who were guarding the door that leads to the underground basement started walking in the opposite direction from them.

"Wait for it," Natas muttered. There were still a few more steps left before the two Superhuman bodyguards would make a turn to another side of the corridor. By then, it's time for them to go for that door.

Time passed quickly, and shortly later, the two Superhuman bodyguards were finally out of sight.

In the next moment, Natas unhesitatingly flew straight towards the door of the underground basement. Meanwhile, Kayn followed closely staying low while taking a not-so-slow but also not-so-quick one step at a time to approach the door so as to not let the two Superhuman bodyguards who haven't left for that long yet hear any noise coming from their direction.

As there was a considerable distance between their hiding spot and the door of the underground basement, it took Kayn a bit more time compared to Natas to reach the door. The moment he arrived at the door; he instantly heard the footsteps of the incoming Superhuman bodyguards who came to replace the previous two.

"Get in quick!"

Luckily for Kayn, Natas had long already opened the door for him after checking and confirming that no one was guarding the other side. Although the last time he was here there were no Superhuman bodyguards standing guard, nonetheless, it's still much safer for them to make sure just in case something changed in the span of a few minutes after he left.

"Did you hear anything?"

"No, did you?"

"I thought I heard something, but I guess it could be the others who accidentally made a ruckus upstairs,"

"Let's ask through the radio,"

"Alright,"

"…"

Hearing what the two Superhuman bodyguards were talking about, Kayn and Natas immediately realized that they have made a mistake by closing the door.

The sound they made when they were closing the door wasn't really loud. As a matter of fact, there was barely any noise made after they closed it. But probably because they are up against Superhumans whose sense of hearing has been enhanced to some degree, that's why they still heard a soft click from the doorknob.

"What should we do?" Kayn whispered.

"Hmmm… If we knock them out, then we'd have more or less twelve minutes of time before they could discover that someone had trespassed their perimeter," Natas analyzed.

"What if we pull them inside here and hide them somewhere inconspicuous?" Kayn expressed his idea.

"I guess we could. And that would probably buy us even more time," Natas quickly confirmed the feasibility of Kayn's plan. Even if another group of Superhuman bodyguards will come to this position after they knocked out these present two Superhuman bodyguards, the former duo won't necessarily be able to know what exactly happened to the latter duo since the moment they arrived they won't be able to see if they have really left to move on to the next assigned location to guard. And based on the arrangement of their position around the perimeter, as long as no one checked to confirm each other's presence through the radio, then they'd never know the truth. "This was supposed to be our last resort,"

"Here's the plan…"

"That's strange, they said that no one caused any accidents on the floor above us,"

"How about the groups from the other floors?'

"None as well,"

After saying that, the two Superhuman bodyguards quickly turned their attention towards the door right beside them. If their guess is correct, then that sound they have heard just now indeed came from when the doorknob clicked when it was closed.

"Should we check on the group inside if one of them went inside the door?"

"It shouldn't be them, since they are preoccupied with something really important,"

As the two were talking, the door in front of them suddenly clicked again and was soon slowly opening.

Strangely though, there was no one opening the door from either side.

"Is… is there a gho… ghost in this place?"

"Are you seriously feeling frightened right now?! For goodness' sake, we are already in the era where monsters that we thought only existed in books have appeared in reality, so what are you even feeling scared about?!"

"I am scared exactly because we haven't fought against such a thing ourselves yet!"

"Tch! What a scaredy-cat! I'll go check what's wrong with this door. Meanwhile, you stay here and guard my back, okay?"

"Okay, okay!"

"If something bad happens to me, quickly report to our channel through the radio to inform the others and call for back-up,"

Following that, the courageous Superhuman bodyguard started inching closer towards the door of the underground basement to check if someone from the other side had accidentally opened it or if there is indeed an intruder who was able to sneak inside under their watch. Inwardly, he was hoping that it was the case of the former since there is no telling for certain what will happen to him if it's the latter case. Chances are, he would die here or get injured enough to make him powerless to cause any harm to the intruder or intruders.
