My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Chapter 233- The Red Pearl Incident (Part 5)

The explosion sent a strong shockwave everywhere as fire ignited in the air. People screeched as they rushed as far as they could, stumbling on top of one another as they tried to avoid the burning fire.

Everything inside the kitchen caught in the fire as the gas kept leaking continuously, fueling the flames even more.

"What the hell?!"

"The kitchen! The kitchen is on fire!"

"What should we do?!"

Panic erupted amongst the crowds as people started rushing toward the location from all places. They heard the loud explosion and saw the smoke and fire rising in the air.

'I think I overdid it...' Meanwhile, Arthur, the cause of the explosion, stood amongst the crowd, covering his face so that nobody would know him. He knew that if they realized that he was the cause of it, they wouldn't let him go.

'I need to get out of here.' As he thought of that, he heard loud steps as a group of men rushed toward them.

"What is going on here?!"

Seeing their attire, Arthur immediately recognized them as the guards. There were at least 8 of them, all carrying weapons in their arms, ready to engage in case they needed to. The speed at which they arrived at the scene was shocking.

Herculia: "What the hell was that explosion?!"

Emmy: "Arthur? What did you do?"

Danny: "Bastard, did you blow up the building?"

Messages popped in Arthur's retina from his friends. They had felt the entire building shake from the sheer power of the explosion. Then, the entire building was submerged in chaos as people ran out, thinking the entire place was about to collapse.

Arthur: "Use this opportunity and search the entire place. They will be busy for a moment. I'm about to leave the location."

He said as he started moving through the crowd, slowly getting the mask off his face as he sneaked out of the guards' eyes and left the area, heading to the lower floors. He knew that with how much destruction there was, they wouldn't be able to notice that he was missing.

"Good luck extinguishing that flame, gentlemen." He said as he walked down to the lower floors.

He slowly moved around, tracing the wall and touching everything he saw in hopes of figuring something out. However, nothing happened. He looked around for minutes with no result.

'Goddamit! I hate this stupid game they're playing! Where the hell is this secret entrance?!' He grumbled as he punched the wall slightly. He was growing extremely annoyed with the lack of results.

'I don't have time for this shit! The kids are waiting for me!' Walking around the room, he tapped one of the cutting machines stationed there. He had already inspected this machine beforehand so he didn't do it intentionally.

However, the moment he touched it, he suddenly heard something click. Then, he felt the machine slowly starting to move on its own. The boy was shocked for a second by what was happening as he jumped back.

"Huh?"

The large machine glided on the ground till it completely moved to the side, opening a dark path into the wall Arthur didn't see at all.

"..." The boy stared blankly... His face was frozen. Then, his eyes shifted to his hand. "Well... I spoke too soon." He muttered. "Finally! I finally found it!"

Without wasting any time, Arthur opened his chat group to tell them about his findings.

Arthur: "I found the path! Come to my location now!"

Herculia: "Already?!"

Arthur: "Yes! I'm about to go in! Follow me when you're done!"

Isla: "I don't know what you did but I'm on my way."

Arthur nodded his head with a satisfied smile. 'I'm coming for you, guys! Just wait a little bit more!'

However, before moving, Arthur noticed that Danny and Emmy didn't respond yet. This entire time, they were the first to respond to any message so the fact they didn't respond confused Arthur a little.

Slowly, a weird feeling of suspicion started rising within his chest. 'Well, they might be too busy to respond. I can't waste too much time.'

Shaking those weird thoughts away, he turned around and quickly walked into the tunnel. He was now closer than ever to his friends. His anger was slowly rising and his desire to rip the culprits apart for what they did.

'They better before fine or I'm going to kill you all!'
