Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 589 The Approaching End
Whether the soldier boy saw the Bomb Twins in that luxurious secure base built on the cliff, and whether the two sides had any conversation, remains unknown.

However, in Ma Zhaodi's personal opinion, less than half a minute after the soldier boy went inside, the drone's speakers began playing Russian military songs loudly in a directional manner into the safe house, almost at the same time.

Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the two can meet internally. Even if the Gemini do meet the Soldier Boy, the chances of them being able to speak on the spot are not very high.

Rumbling--

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, half of the mountainside began to collapse violently, emitting a deafening roar that at one point drowned out the drones playing Russian military songs loudly nearby.

Whether the soldier boy could still hear the music was no longer important. Edgar, his two companions, and Ma Zhaodi could all clearly see that the mountain had collapsed almost completely in a short time. Huge amounts of soil, rocks, steel, water, supplies, weapons, fuel, and other materials were mixed together and fell downwards, like a lump of mud mixed with debris.

Judging from the total amount of building materials, supplies, and weapons that have fallen out, this place can no longer be considered a safe house. It can definitely be called a heavily guarded safe base, and even Maeve and Starlight would hardly be able to break in from the front.

Unfortunately, he was easily defeated by the soldier boy.

“I guess Gemini probably won’t be able to have a word with Soldier Boy under these circumstances and expose Edgar’s conspiracy.” Ma Zhaodi curled his lip. “It’s a bit of a pity—superpowered showdown, CEO’s sudden death, how satisfying that sounds.”

He was busy lamenting, while amidst the collapsed earth and rocks, many more superpowered individuals were busy trying to save themselves. Some were mangled beyond recognition, seemingly crushed to death by the earth and rocks carrying the force of millions of tons, or crushed to death by building materials in the safe base; others were reduced to half a body, the other half as if vanished into thin air, evaporated by the soldier boy's laser.

Faced with the might of nature, 99.99% of so-called superpowered individuals cannot stand up to it head-on; at best, they are just larger ants. There are only one or two exceptions, and one of those two is still here, slaughtering other superpowered individuals amidst the collapsed earth and rocks.

The heroes recruited by Gemini were almost all highly skilled. Ma Zhaodi saw many experts who could still find gaps to escape even when the mountain collapsed. Some could stretch their bodies, some could fly and glide, and some had thick skin and were as hard as iron. There was even one person who could curl himself into a ball.

The soldier boy seemed rather ordinary. He roared as he grabbed one superhuman after another in the sky, tearing them apart with his bare hands. Then he stepped on large rocks and jumped to the next unfortunate victim. In an instant, blood rained down from the sky, intertwining with fear and wails, creating a living hell.

But the soldier boy let out a long, joyful roar. He missed this environment terribly, and he missed the feeling of being surrounded by smoke and death on the battlefield. It made his blood boil, it thrilled him, and it made him feel like the toughest man in the world.

"Ben! No! Don't do this!"

In the sky, a superhuman with white wings, resembling an angel, was holding a large, obese person in pajamas in each hand. The two, a man and a woman, looked extremely terrified. They instinctively grabbed each other's hands, stared at the soldier boy below who was slaughtering indiscriminately, and begged for mercy.

Clearly, this was the soldier's original target: the former bomb duo.

"Ben! We can give you everything—"

"I only want your lives!"

The bloodthirsty soldier grinned as he jumped toward the two men, but he was clearly not high enough. He saw the two useless men in the sky join hands and assume a double bomb attack stance against him. Since the distance between them was still too great, his short arms could not reach them at all, so he quickly aimed his chest at the two men as well.

A blinding red light flashed across his chest, and a dazzling shockwave quickly formed, heading straight for the two men.

However, the expected combined attack from the two did not come, nor did it break through the shockwave. The once formidable Bomb Twins joined hands again today, attempting to unleash a full-force blow.

A crackling sound—the weak and feeble electrical energy, like a spark, bursts forth between the fingers, producing an awkward and faint electrical hum.

Yes, all of Edgar's previous guesses were correct; the Gemini have indeed completely fallen silent.

Just moments after falling, the white beam of light crashed into it.

"The plan back then wasn't ours—"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dying curses or swears. Just like erasing pencil marks from white paper with an eraser, a white light swept across, and the Twin Bombs, along with the unlucky guy who dared to pull them into the sky, vanished without a trace.

"To be fair, their reactions were already quite quick."

Ma Zhaodi scratched his head. He knew that the Gemini had seen Edgar retreat far from the edge of the cliff and had immediately grasped the key points of the conversation and persuasion, but unfortunately, the timing was really bad.

Gemini's explanation came far too late. How could the soldier boy possibly stop and talk to you properly now? He was in the same state as a gangster wielding a knife, hacking his way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road – completely unable to calm down.

He said he kills without blinking an eye, but you ask him if his eyes get dry?
Besides, the drone next to them had only stopped playing military songs and could resume playing them at any time.

The earthquake finally stopped, and the massive collapse of the cliff was complete. Not a single survivor remained in Gemini's private safe base; the soldier boy had cleared them all out and buried them under the collapsed hill.

"Fortunately, this place is far enough from the city that no one can see the white light."

Edgar nodded to the soldier boy walking towards him: "Alright, the cleanup crew will be here in three minutes as well—in any case, at least this operation was clean and efficient. The explosion and collapse are minor issues; we didn't waste too much time—that's the biggest achievement."

"Now, we only need one more person to complete your request."

"nonsense."

Ma Zhaodi, standing to the side, put away his phone with satisfaction. It now contained three murder videos. Considering that the psychic storm was over, it would surely bring Edgar endless surprises.

Strangely, despite being tricked by Edgar with military songs just now, the soldier boy didn't respond to Edgar this time. He sat in the car expressionlessly, seemingly having lost the interest in arguing or getting angry.

"Take me to the storm of the soul."

He gave the order coldly.

The car drove off in that subtle yet deadly silence.
