Chapter 255 - 255 A Gamble
"Are you sure we\'re going to really do this, boss?" It was Ricky who asked the question.
Although he has the best chance of survival in the team, given that he had the speed advantage amongst his peers but that has not at all given him any solace in what they were about to do.
Just the thought of facing against that old man from the clip was giving Ricky goosebumps all over his body.
"We can\'t go back now, can we?" Sid replied with a smile.
"Of course we still can, boss! Watch me do it and I\'m sure that it will amaze you cra..." Ricky responded but he was ignored by Sid already.
"Where is he, Leah?" Sid asked unto a beautiful woman in a very sexy black dress.
A case could be made that the magical temples and the dungeons inside them have an extreme fashion taste in a way.
The men almost always wore the best armors in creation while the women and their strongest items available for wear was practically a scene from playboy magazines.
They were barely clad with any garments and if they were, the soft material was thin and very much conducive to further viewing.
Alas, no man could complain with this current setup of epic items and loot.
"He teleported away. About a hundred and twenty miles from here. In the Mojave desert." Leah said as she closed her eyes in concentration.
She was not only a capable danger detector but also a good human scanner. Leah was quite the talented one indeed!
"Alright. Set your coordinates. I believe that Clark Colter will only play with us and won\'t kill us in the process.
He might take that Divine Pill of Power or ask the help of that old man named Blood Twin. The end does not matter for us.
We know that we are going to get crushed. Even so, aren\'t you all excited to fight someone stronger than us for a change?" Sid paused and looked at the eyes of each of his members.
Three beats later and he then uttered his final words to his team.
"I\'ll see you all there." After that, he vanished with a single touch on his diamond watch.
"..." There was stunned silence unto the 6 team members in the place. They could not believe at all what they just heard.
"He hopes that the boy won\'t kill us in the process. HAHAHA! What a funny thing to say, boss!" The Flame Magician laughed wantonly in place. He was the first one to follow his leader.
"If i die today, i\'ll haunt you for all of eternity. You bet your ass i will, boss!" Ricky spat and disappeared thereafter.
\'The General shall have our heads for breakfast after this stupid stunt.\' Four silent souls thought the same thing and yet they did not hesitate to do the same as their comrades a moment later.
The parking lot was bereft of people once again.

Inside the Supernatural Management Agency, a special group was debating on what they should do next.
"Should we put a stop on this, General Wayne?"
"I could force them to recall at a moment\'s notice." Marco asked for further instructions. It was best to do this trick now while his targets were still stationary.
Should their fight begin as advertised, it would be much harder and even almost impossible to do so.
There was a safety net in this teleport technology purchased from the dungeons that would prohibit sucking in moving targets on the field.
"Let them do what they want. Since they have disobeyed my orders, let them be mature enough to face the consequences later on."
General Wayne replied in a stony voice but the real meaning behind his words was truly lost on the people around him. In fact, the general has already given up on his men.
With how cruel a death our bored gamer has given unto that man named Luis a year before, he was very much convinced that Clark Colter was absolutely willing to kill if necessary.
Should the same situation come to be, at least the general and his crew would have a chance to know and fully verify the extent of the gap between them and this unknown force behind Clark Colter.
\'I just hope that their sacrifice will be worth the information we will get today.\' General Wayne could only pray in silence.

The desert was still hot even in the afternoon sun. The winds therein provided no refuge in all the hapless creatures under its vile environment.
Alas, the visitors in this place could not have fared better than the rest and yet they did. They barely even felt the blistering warm air in the surroundings.
Even so, this trifling ability to adapt was not enough to give them any confidence while facing the most mysterious foe they have ever faced in their careers.
Most of them know him as Clark Colter but then he gained infamy last year and was nicknamed as the Handsome Devil.
Sadly, those titles could barely scratch the surface of how deeply our bored gamer was hiding amongst his own people in this world.
"Are you ready to experience pain? Let me tell you beforehand. This will be a memory that you will dread to remember for the rest of your lives."
Our bored gamer said as he set the stage for a fiery beginning.
Two women and five men in the Mad Dog Party shall have a very unforgettable day indeed in the hands of our very own protagonist.
Clark would have expected for the party to engage him head on but he was caught off guard by what happened next.
"Where is Alexis? I want to see her now and in one piece!" Sid demanded from out of the blue. He looked from left to right but saw no shadow of what he expected he would find in here.
No Alexis whatsoever. Not even a scent of her was found on the scene.
