The Scards: Start!
Chapter 51

The sound of an explosion not far from a festival was heard so loud. Instantly the atmosphere turned gripping. People immediately ran to save themselves.

Panic enveloped them, children separated from their parents, people who fell and trampled and some people cried hysterically because of the fear that struck.

Albert and Joshua immediately ran to help calm and evacuate the injured children and victims to safety. The sound of the rumbling of bullets rang out not far from there adding to the increasingly gripping and tense atmosphere.

"Calm down. You can get through here safely." Joshua said, explaining the safe route for the evacuation route.

Albert approached Kirania, who had finished evacuating the residents anxiously and hugged her tightly. Although this atmosphere was frequent and the girl was often involved with them, the handsome man was still anxious and worried. Luckily they did not panic too much because they were used to this incident.

"The two of you, please check if there are still people left around here." Albert orders with a little anxiety.

"Good."

Ellios and Antares immediately went to carry out the father's orders and checked around. After making sure there were no more people, they immediately approached Albert.

"Everything's safe. There's no one left around here." Report Ellios who was replied with a nod by Albert.

"We need to get out of here. Don't get involved with them." Albert orders while glancing at the 3 teenagers who are now in front of him.

The sound of gunfire and the whirring of bullets falling and the explosion of Molotov cocktails broke the silence of the night. Seen several police cars and several vehicles destroyed and burned, some bodies lying helpless with pools of blood around it makes the atmosphere more gripping.

Some buildings look hollow as a result of being a nest of stray bullets, even some glass windows in stores around there are smashed to pieces.

"DUAAARRR'

This time a 20-story building exploded and caused tremors around the site, causing the building to be partially destroyed and debris to fly before the building collapsed on the street.

" Khukhu.... Finally the snob is dead." Aaron said with a cynical laugh as he stared at the building that had been destroyed. Under the rubble was heard the sound of moans and cries for help, there were even patches of blood splattered on the sidelines of the ruins.

"Destroy the buildings around it." He said through the walkie talkie he was carrying. Suddenly there was a great fire in district B made the woman look at the scene in front of him with nanar.

"What are you doing? I just want him dead, not something like this!" The woman did not accept.

"Isn't this what you want, Amora? Enjoy this beautiful sight." Aaron's sarcasm is guiltless. The woman named Amora could only be glued to stare at the destroyed building and engulfed in fire.

He didn't expect to ask Aaron for help a few years ago to bring the city to ruin. Many houses and buildings were destroyed and engulfed by the red man, innocent lives were also lost in vain due to his ambition.

Yes, Amora is obsessed with Gilbert who is none other than Albert. He wanted to make the geeky-looking man his slave.

Who would have thought the man adopted 2 children who made him not accept, he said, especially when he found out if the man worked as a bartender and had caught him while throwing away a black plastic bag that turned out to contain an imperfect fetus.

Amora stared at the scene tonight from the top of a building. There were faintly the sounds of the cries of children, the cries of pain and the sorrow of innocent people. District B has become a sea of fire due to Aaron's cruelty.

"You could've killed him, right?"

"Who dare you protest me, hemm?" Asked Aaron in a murderous tone. The man gripped Amora's chin hard and threw her down until she fell down.

Aaron took out a firearm and pointed the muzzle towards Amora, making the woman shiver in fear. He said cynically and looked at the woman in a cold tone.

"A useless person like you should be removed. But I'm grateful for your work all along."

Aaron pulled the trigger and there was a loud bang there.

"Bas load." Sinis Aaron while looking at Amora who is now lying lifeless with his head bleeding due to a bullet lodged in the woman's head.

Aaron immediately left the place with a cruel grin imprinted on his face.

City X district B had now turned into a sea of fire at some point. The sound of bullets and the sound of explosions sounding earthy gave a gripping atmosphere.

Countless casualties were falling, many children lost their parents, lost family members and even relatives.

They try to save themselves as much as they can to survive. The sound of cries and wails of sadness and moans of pain filled the emergency shelter.

Doctors and volunteers treated the injured with makeshift equipment. Some of them were rushed to nearby hospitals for intensive care.

Police and volunteer-assisted firefighters searched the rubble of buildings and extinguished the blaze that burned much of district B. Some of the victims were found alive, but most were found injured and even died.

The hysterical cries of the victim's family became a poignant song when they saw their families become victims. Several candidates for leadership took this opportunity to help the victim and her family to get sympathy and be elected as the leader of this city.

Petra who managed to survive the ruins stared at the candidates cynically. It was clear that the man with the big hair saw the cynical smile that was imprinted on their faces.

This situation was taken advantage of by the criminals hiding in the city of X. They began to fight for weapons, making some districts into ravages.

Tonight, X's city is in chaos. The electrical installation was forced to be decided to reduce the impact of the electrical short circuit. Only electricity for hospitals and important installations is on.

City X went into complete darkness with the whirring of bullets and bomb blasts as a gripping night chant. Some areas were destroyed, especially district F which began to wiggle back destroyed with some buildings that were flattened with the ground and burned.

District B itself experienced the same thing. Some point B city was engulfed by the red hero with ferocity. Even some housing units were destroyed leaving the rubble of buildings.

Other districts such as districts C, D, and E experienced similar damage but the damage to buildings is not as severe as districts B and F.

Kirania stared at this scene with tears streaming down as she found her residence had been destroyed leaving ruins. The residence with his father and uncle that is full of memories now lives in rubble.

"It looks like they're starting to move." Joshua gave his opinion.

"Hn. They're aiming for Athena Group to be conquered." Reply Albert flat.

"So what should we do?" Ellios asked as she glanced at the 2 adult men and then looked back at their shattered former apartment.

"We'll hide first." Albert immediately approached Kirania who was sculpting and carried her. The grieving Kirania shrieked in shock as her body suddenly floated up and ended up in her father's arms.

"We're leaving." Albert said then glanced at Antares who was silent watching the place. "You're coming with us too."

"A-ah, fine."

Albert immediately ran at high speed while holding Kirania followed by Joshua, Ellios and Antares leaving the destroyed apartment and heading to a small hill where they were training.

They ran through the dark forest. There was no moonlight or stars to light their journey. The longer they entered the forest until they arrived at the deepest part. After quite a distance they finally passed through a steep part of the forest with a wide gaping chasm beneath. They finally stopped when in front of him there was a high cliff with a cave as high as 60 cm with a width of 1 meter.

Albert entered the small cave on all fours and was followed by Joshua and the three teenagers. After crawling along 6 meters, they finally arrived in a modern minimalist style room. There were already a few people sitting on a sofa with the Athena Group's top brass.

"Sorry, we're late." Greeting Albert and Joshua simultaneously made them turn to the origin of the voice.

"Welcome to Sanctuary." Sapa Aretha friendly.
