The guarding duty of the Lawless City route is complete and I return to the underground facility .


    Yukime should be back soon .


    She must be riding back with a carriage full of gold coins .


    After that we can collect the rest of the gold coins and withdraw . All that left is for us to witness their collapse .


    Then John Smith would sit cross-legged in the royal capital high-rise hotel and say [As planned . The collapse is upon us... . . ] while sipping the finest wine with a profound smile and pile of gold coins on his table—- .


    So cool .


    I went through the underground pa.s.sage while drawing such delusions .


    However, it is awfully quiet .


    All the workers were already withdrawn but there''re still guards remaining behind .


    Did they have too much free time and fell asleep . Well, I overdid it and no one could reach this place after all .


    [Fufufu... . ]


    I showed my white teeth with a smile and walk with a light footstep to the front of the vault .


    [Are... . ?]


    Why is the vault door unlocked...… . . ?


    Moreover, it doesn''t seem like it was opened using a key but forced opened .


    [N, no way, don''t tell me...…]


    My security should have been perfect .

    I haven''t let even one rat pa.s.s through Lawless City .


    My legs are shaking .


    My hand also shaking .


    My body overflowing with cold sweat .


    [i, i, i, ii, it, it will surely be fine… . . ]


    Then I opened the half-open vault door .


    The inside was...empty .


    That golden mountains has disappeared without a trace .


    [It . it''s a lie...]


    The power escaped my knees and I crumbled on the spot .


    [How, Why... . . ]


    My gold coins... .


    [Ha, hhaha, it''s a dream… . . no, a bad dream… . I am going to become [A POWER IN THE SHADOW]... . ]


    I used my shaking hand to fold my all-backed hair and stand up .


    It will be fine, It has to be .


    Yukime may have brought it out for some reason .


    And if someone has robbed us, it would take sometimes to transport all that gold . Unless they are very skilled then they shouldn''t have gone far .


    I walk out of the vault with my shaking knees .


    When I felt two presences approaching, I feign to be calm .


    [——John-sama!!]


    Two s.e.xy beauties are calling my name .


    They were Yukime''s aides, Natsu and Kana .


    I asked the two who are behaving unusually .


    [What happened?]


    Something did happen right? there must have been something, Why you ask? because the vault have been swept clean .


    Yukime-sama——Yukime-sama was captured by Gettan!


    [What… . . did you say… . . ?


    Yukime was... . Gettan...…I see!


    Everything start to be connected in my head and I laugh out loud .


    [John-sama...?]


    [I see, so it was like that...]


    The skeptical Natsu and Kana saw what inside the opened vault behind me .


    [Th, This is—–!]


    [D, don''t tell me, he———!! but it was too fast… . . ]


    The two''s eyes were wide opened due to astonishment .


    [Do you know where he is?]


    [Y, Yes… . . !]


    [Then there''s no problem . I will retrieve everything immediately . ]


    Then I pa.s.s through the two people, the exploding magic power shake the atmosphere .


    [S, so much magic power !?]


    [Is, is this John Smith''s true power?]


    Moreover I manipulate the steel wire and cut the air causing the Shushushushu sound and draw a beautiful line of light .


    [Gettan… . you have made me angry...!]


    Now, let''s begin the retaliation—— .
