Chapter 511: Another Terrorists Attack

"What the…you two better not utter my name if something happens to you two!"

Benny warned as the trio came back to the surface.

"You worry too much, with this nation's quality of security, can they even catch us?" Monk replied, filled with confidence in his tone.

"Tsk! Say that when you survive a whole army of soldiers trying to kill you" Benny clicked his tongue at his arrogance since he himself can't even say if he'll be able to survive when faced even the most ill equipped army.

Listening to them bicker, Genesis also pondered on that subject, 'With how deep the corruption of this nation has, I wouldn't be surprised if mere businessmen would be able to mobilize the nation's army'

Having that thought, his gaze turned towards a certain someone and that person immediately felt someone's gaze on him.

"What? What do you want? Whatever you're planning to ask, I'm not doing it!"

Benny quickly shook his head as he had a sudden and weird premonition that he's about to get wrapped up in something troublesome, and that feeling became even more intense to him when he saw his eyes!

Genesis just smiled, a very meaningful smile.

"God bless it! How did I get pulled into this sh*t?!"

A red pick-up trick is currently speeding along the highway road, and looking through the windshield, Benny is currently sandwiched between Monk and Genesis and he looked extremely miserable.

"Oh come on, it won't be that bad. Besides, aren't you bored just going fishing all the time? I think you need to do something new, you know, to have a more colorful life?" from his right, Monk remarked.

"Yeah! You're right, I think I need to do something else, something exciting aside from fishing, is that what you wanted to hear from me?! This is kidnapping! You two are gonna get me killed!" Benny yelled in frustration as he didn't expect that these two would actually attack him from out of nowhere and forcibly brought him with them on their "little adventure".

"I'm saying it again and I won't say it the third time. Stop this truck and let me get off, I don't want to join you on your little adventure! No, no freaking way!" Benny shouted at Genesis to stop and had the urge to even want to strangle him, but his rationality kept him in check since such actions would certainly land them in dire circumstances!

"It's too late, we'll be arriving soon" Monk interjected, his cheerful mood took a 180 degree turn as his expression had become somewhat tense.

"You two bastards, I'm never gonna entertain both of you ever again after this!"

The next morning, Michael and Amanda are currently cuddling each other on the sofa while drinking a hot cup of chocolate when suddenly the show that they were watching was interrupted by a news that came all the way from the other side of the globe.

[We apologize to our viewers for interrupting your morning! We are just receiving news from the country of Zubr that just last night, a group of three unidentified terrorists had attacked the homes of Senator Antonova, Congressman Putroski and a few of their associates. All of whom were found dead when law enforcement arrived.

The escaped vehicle of the terrorists were immediately identified and a chase quickly ensued until the magic happened when the vehicle drove under a bridge, and when the car came out under the bridge and slowly came to a stop, the authorities only found an empty vehicle. This incident will certainly cause…]

Michael stared at the television and he had this sudden intuition that the people the newscaster was talking about on the news might be actually people he knows.

'Could it be those two? But it says there were three of them, did they hire someone to go with them or is this a different group?'

"Mike! Are you listening to me?"

"Wha..what? Yeah, I'm listening!"

Amanda looked at him with a frown and immediately sat upright from him and slightly turned her body towards his direction and said, "So what did I say then?"

"Ohh, you were talking about the world being chaotic lately and that three days had not even passed from the last incident in Joseon and now there's also another similar incident in another country" Michael confidently answered, he might have been swimming in his own thoughts earlier, but he was constantly aware of his surroundings.

A trait that had really been engraved into his bones since he had constantly trained on it ever since he got "back".

Listening to him, Amanda couldn't help but raise an eyebrow since she thought that he wasn't listening to her after she called out to him multiple times.

"Okay, but what do you think? Aren't the people involved somewhat once involved in being vocal about Mine Tech. Industries going public?

I feel like this is a political assassination, could it be that the company is taking revenge on them because of the events a few months back?" As someone who is very interested in the shifts of power in the government, Amanda couldn't help but share her thoughts on the subject.

"I agree, but rather than me, shouldn't you direct this question at Jenny since she is more involved on that side?" Michael didn't want to comment on it and instead pushed the responsibility to Jenny, who is quietly lying down on another sofa.

'I don't want to say anything since I might slip up since I have a hunch that it might actually be those two's doing and it was just a coincidence that their targets are the people who wanted to swallow Mine Tech. Industries' Michael thought as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.

"What? Don't ask me, I don't know about any of that" clearly, Jenny also didn't want to comment on it.

Amanda squinted her eyes and looked back and forth between the two and felt that something was up.

"Are you two hiding something from me? If you do, then just fess up. It won't do us any good!"
