Chapter 486 484. Chaos In Jealousi I
The red moon above Jealousi City had sunk a few hours ago, indicating that the night had arrived. It was quite late and the time was already showing 09.24 PM. The demons left malls, shops, and public buildings one by one.
The same view could also be seen in a mall that was not far from the museum. That mall was always filled with various demons almost every day due to its strategic location. Besides, it was close to the museum, it was also close to luxury shops and the city hall. A luxury apartment building was also nearby.
The queue of cars that came out of the parking lot spilled onto the nearby streets. Likewise with people coming out of the exits since the mall closed at 09.30 PM. The sound of blaring horns came from the impatient cars, demanding the others to move faster. Unfortunately with that traffic, it was useless. It was the usual view of that place.
In the middle of that another ordinary night, a loud explosion rang out loudly.
- Boom!
The dust and the ruin fell around it and it created another booming sound. Screams and the sound of empty cars\' alarms mixed in between. One explosion was enough to make a big hole in the mall\'s third floor\'s wall. Puff of smoke rose high in the sky. The alarm roared loudly and the automatic dry powder extinguishers turned on.
\'Is this an illegal battle?\' thought the demons around it. A standard guess for each explosion.
\'Or is this the same attack as what happened in Avarici City?\' This guess immediately crossed some of them since that news had spread widely. But how could the culprit get out of Avarici so quickly? Hadn\'t Lord Zatan already ordered his troops to inspect every demon that came in and out of the city? Or was Avarici\'s security that bad?
But they got their answers once the smoke disappeared.
Like what happened in other cities, there wasn\'t a single demon there and the CCTVs that were supposed to be recording the incident were destroyed in the explosion, indicating that the culprit was either the same demon or he/she was ordered by the same demon.
At Jealousi\'s command center not far from that mall, a 2-meter tall blue gallant male demon stood in front of dozens of large monitor screens lined up in front of him. His ears looked like an elf\'s. On his head, was a pair of horns that resemble those of a goat\'s. A nice black suit covered his muscular body and a tail that resembled a crocodile\'s tail behind him. His hands were in the pockets of his trousers. He was Jealousi\'s security chief.
His gaze shifted from one monitor to another, trying to capture what was happening, completely ignoring the noise coming from the operators behind him. Either the sound of their keyboards or their voices due to the calls that came non-stop.
But what he caught was only after the explosion occurred. There was nothing that showed who the culprit was or the skill. Fortunately, to prevent the next attack, the security chief was prepared for this as soon as he got news about Avarici\'s attack. So he had prepared a lot of troops at the city hall and several other important buildings around the mall. Especially important buildings that had many important documents.
"Should we move now, sir?" asked his assistant. A spider male demon. Although he walked on two legs like a human\'s, his red eight eyes and the six insect legs on his back couldn\'t cover his status.
"Not yet. We don\'t know which building they\'re after," said the security chief. But he put his bet on the city hall. Moreover, the spider queen just had an important meeting there this afternoon, so he bet the culprit would think there was something important there. But of course, it was a trap that the queen had setup since some important documents had been moved to the internal affairs office far from city hall.
At first, they thought they would wait sometime after Lord Zatan announced that he was increasing Avarici\'s security. But this explosion proved their guess was wrong.
Unfortunately, the chief\'s guess was wrong. An operator suddenly stood up from his seat with a pale face.
"Sir, the culprit is at the museum! He managed to bring the queen\'s sapphire necklace," he shouted.
The whole room was shocked by that report. Although the chief had ordered extra security for the museum, it wasn\'t as much as the others. They didn\'t expect that since what they thought was the culprit would only be after important documents.
The chief turned to the assistant.
"Send more backups!" he ordered. The assistant quickly moved to carry out his order.
Then the chief returned his gaze to the monitors and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Show me what happened!" Wild guesses filled his head. Was this just another trap? Or was the attack on Avarici just a trap so they would deploy their troops to protect the documents? While the culprit was after the queen\'s collection?
The screens in front of him showed the museum. A thick plume of smoke rose high in the yard, indicating another explosion had just occurred. But amidst the smoke, a guard\'s shout sounded.
"I got it! I got the necklace!" he yelled.
But that didn\'t mean the chief would believe it. He waited a while for the smoke to dissipate. His sight caught a guard standing in the middle of the crack where the explosion was and lifted the necklace, showing his success. The chief breathed a sigh of relief, moreover, he knew the guard who got the necklace.
The chief tilted his head on the operator not far at his side.
"Tell him to secure the necklace and check its authenticity," he ordered. That was the most likely thing to happen, switching up the real necklace to the fake one.
"Okay, sir," replied the operator.
Then he turned to his other side.
"Show me the footage of what happened," he ordered.
"Right away, sir," replied another operator. Quickly his hands moved over the keyboard and mouse, unfortunately, the recording didn\'t live up to the chief\'s expectations.
