Chapter 310: Checkpoint and Background 3
Emy's smile widened after hearing the commanding officer's words.
As long as she could detain Reign long enough, she could convince her father to prosecute him.
'My dad spoiled me a lot, so what if you're from the Razer Family?' she sneered with contempt. 'You will still die, '
'We can just control the information and pretend you were never here,' she giggled. The thought alone was enough to lift her spirits.
"Do you regret it?" she asked with a cruel smile, her cold, mocking gaze never leaving him.
Reign saw her annoying expression and had to admit to himself that her face was really punchable.
Staying calm was taking all his effort. To think that a single woman would give him this much trouble.
"Are you sure about this? "He asked the commanding officer one last time to try and salvage the situation. He didn't want his efforts to go to waste.
"Mr. Rain, if you don't have anything to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. I will personally apologize to you after it's done," the commanding officer responded, his tone neutral as if he were just following procedures.
Reign, on the other hand, almost laughed at the response. 'Why would I need an apology from a food who could not even decide which side to take ? '
'Alright, time to kill everyone,' he thought, his patience running thin.
They could have lived for a few more days, but they had really pushed his buttons.
Now, he would teach them a lesson they would only learn once.
Forget about the corrupted camp outside; he alone would destroy everything in sight to quell his anger.
And if there were powerful people in the city? He could always fly away if necessary.
The only downside was that it would make him a target for the Abyssal Alliance again. Unfortunately, being hunted was part of the job, so this setback was to be expected.
'I'll kill this annoying woman first,' he thought, ready for a bloodbath. His mind raced with plans to torture Emy, making her regret ruining all his hard work.
But just as he prepared to grab her neck, a loud explosion outside jolted everyone.
Cannons had been fired, sending shells crashing into the surrounding area.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The nonstop sound of explosions was a loud sign that something major was happening.
[We are under attack! At 12 o'clock, a horde of an estimated 300,000 corrupteds is coming this way] A soldier announced, his voice barely audible over the blaring alarm.
Reign stopped before he could lift a finger, his anger momentarily overtaken by his curiosity .
Emy's smile, on the other hand, faltered as she realized the seriousness of the situation.
"All units, defensive positions! Protect the fort! Send more tanks outside!" The commanding officer barked orders on his radio, trying to regain control.
"Are you still going to arrest me ? "Reign asked the commander officer, who looked at him with mixed emotions.
"Just get on the train. We'll deal with your case at the base. I'm going to call someone there to assist you," the commanding officer responded.
"Okay," Reign nodded.
"Are you just going to let him go? "Emy retorted sharply, stepping forward with a look of disbelief.
"After everything he's done? This isn't just about protocol. We need to hold him accountable for his crimes and actions. Allowing him to walk away without any consequences would be a mistake." Her voice was firm and insistent, making it clear she wasn't backing down from her stance.
The commanding officer paused, showing irritation on his face.
This was not the time for personal agendas, but she still refused to let go of her grudges, even temporarily.
"Sergeant, follow him into the station." he commanded.
"Yes, sir," the sergeant replied with a salute.
Next, he turned toward Reign with a respectful nod.
Having witnessed everything, he knew better than to act haughty in front of such a powerful individual.
Unlike Emy, he understood how to avoid aggravating someone who could potentially kill him.

It was the most logical and smartest thing to do when facing a person of unknown origin. Unfortunately, for some reason, Emy's ability to detect and be aware of danger was almost nonexistent.
Reign noticed that, for once, someone had enough brain cells to understand the situation, so he decided to let it go for now. Gaining access to the city without creating a commotion would be better.
"Don't think this is over! "Emy said, rolling her eyes.
Reign just laughed it off. "I hope this fort can hold up and that you don't end up dead," he said with a smirk.
Then, he turned on his heel and walked away, with Lucas and the other military personnel following him.
She glared at his back, her frustration clear on her face. She even bit her lips to keep her anger under control.
As the group moved closer into the train, Lucas whispered, "What do you think will happen? "
"Whatever happens, I hope those things destroy this place," Reign replied with a cold, detached tone.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Another consecutive explosion roared, the rate of fire intensifying. The sounds painted a grim picture of how dire the situation outside was.
Lucas, sensing the danger, didn't waste any time and entered the train. Despite some shaking from the vibration, the platform managed to land safely underground.
From there, the train moved toward the station, its wheels screeching as it came to a stop at the now-busy hub.
The station was crowded with military personnel , and other trains were quickly leaving for the fort outside. Each train carried supplies and manpower, in an attempt to push back the invader.
Reign stayed calm and didn't make a commotion after he set foot at the station. He could sense powerful individuals within the crowd.
While each one was no match for him individually, their numbers could pose a bit of a challenge.
"Mr. Rain, follow me," a woman with short orange hair approached. She wore a sharp black coat that fell to her knees, adding an air of authority to her presence.
"And who are you? "He asked.
"My name is Agatha. I'm from the Military Intelligence Department, or MID. I'm here to check your credentials " she replied.
She was surrounded by six military personnel who acted as her bodyguards.
Their uniforms were neat, and they stood close to her, ready to protect her. Each of them was alert, keeping an eye on everything around them to make sure she was safe.
"I can't really let you do that," Reign said, trying to reason with her. "I came here on a secret mission, and letting you know my identity would ruin the whole thing."
Agatha smiled as if already expecting such a reason: "You don't need to worry about that. We're willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement. You can be assured that we won't do anything to jeopardize you once we confirm your identity."
'I see, so I have no choice then,' he sighed.
There was no way to validate an identity that didn't exist in the first place.
He began to survey the area, looking for an escape route. Being labeled a criminal was way more convenient than being branded a demon.
