The man in the suit was so infuriated that his whole body trembled. He felt like he had become a complete joke. Kidnapping gone wrong. He had sunk to the disgrace of the industry. Moreover, he found himself in the most tangled situation for a kidnapper: unable to determine where his kidnap target was.
Threats required, at the very least, ensuring that the target could hear your words. If you didn't even know where the person you wanted to threaten was, you might as well be threatening the air. It made him look like an impotent, enraged clown.
"Hahaha..."
The man in the suit covered his face, tossed his hair back, and laughed maniacally. Regardless of whether his actions today would succeed, he was afraid that he would become a comical villain passed down through the Norton Kingdom and even the entire Resurgence Church.
Defeated in both body and reputation!
His own image had been ruined by Dekan!!
For someone engaged in terrifying attacks, the worst thing was to be treated as a clown. Dekan's actions were smashing his livelihood.
The man in the suit stopped his trembling laughter, suppressed the anger that was about to drive him crazy, and, after gradually calming down, shouted: "Dekan! Do you think hiding will save you?!"
The man in the suit's gaze was cold and penetrating, scanning every person in the cabin. In his eyes, everyone could potentially be Dekan in disguise.
Although he initially considered the possibility that Dekan might not have boarded at all, careful analysis would reveal that such a situation would not stand up to scrutiny. Summoning cards, after leaving a certain distance from the owner, struggled to execute nimble commands. Even the summoning creature that accompanied the summoner and had the ability to mimic expressions, manipulate language, and even provide feedback to the summoner needed the summoner to be relatively close.
Therefore, Dekan must still be on this Wind Magic Airship! As for where Dekan was, he was probably in the cabin. He must have used a disguise to become one of the passengers!
Although the situation had been somewhat reversed by Dekan, the man in the suit believed that the advantage was still on his side. In any case, he had no reason to return empty-handed today! Even if Dekan refused to compromise and refused to show up, the man in the suit didn't believe Dekan could sit idly by as he killed innocent people and his classmates.
"Dekan! I know you're here! You will still have to accept my conditions!"
This time, the man in the suit was one thousand percent sure that Dekan was among the passengers in front of him.
However, none of the passengers showed any intention of stepping forward.
"Pretending to be ignorant, huh? Fine!"
The man in the suit looked around and shouted: "I'll give you thirty seconds. If you're willing to come out voluntarily, I will forgive you."
At this point, the man in the suit took out a small table knife and, with a dark expression, gently pressed it against the neck of the passenger closest to him.
"But if you don't come out, every thirty seconds, I will kill..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of palpitations stopped him in his tracks. What he had felt just now was that his two companions in the cockpit were continuously under attack!
A strong sense of unease surged in the man in the suit's heart.
Dekan should be in the cabin, right?
Could it be that he was fooled again?
Wouldn't this make him look like a complete clown?
After all the effort, after saying those absolutely certain and threatening lines, he ended up threatening no one at all?!
Was this bastard a ghost?
When did he manage to bypass him and get to the cockpit?
As the man in the suit was in a state of internal turmoil, unable to find a solution, a buzzing sound resonated through the airship.
Then, a broadcast echoed in the cabin:
"Dear passengers, the hijackers in the cockpit have now been taken hostage by me."
"Please relax and enjoy a pleasant and colorful journey."
"To the one in the cabin, surrender immediately and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will eliminate you."
This calm and composed voice left the man in the suit stunned.
The members of the Hevenlit Academy were also greatly surprised.
Wasn't this voice fucking Dekan's?
How did he get to the cockpit, and how did he skillfully eliminate the enemies there?
But the biggest question was --
What does it mean by "You have kidnapped the hijackers"?! Was that something a student should say?
...
Immediately, the man in the suit understood his predicament. The knight commander couldn't kill him because of the self-destruct spell card. And the knight commander couldn't subdue him because the companion in the cockpit could crash the ship at any moment. But now, Dekan had taken control of the cockpit, and the knight commander only needed to find a way to subdue him!
The knight commander also realized this and firmly gripped his sword, planning a route to bypass the passengers and ambush the man in the suit.
He had tolerated this bandit for too long!
At this moment, the man in the suit quickly raised the small knife he had against the passenger's neck, pressing it fiercely against his own neck. Due to the excessive force, a bloodstain appeared on his neck.
With a slightly mad look in his eyes, he stared at the knight commander.
"If you dare to move, I'll blow them all up!" The man in the suit roared.
"Damn it..."
The knight commander stopped his steps again. He couldn't subdue the man in the suit from a distance to prevent him from committing suicide.
One reason was the distance, and the other was that there were still quite a few passengers between Alice's and Dekan's seats.
If someone could create an opportunity for him.
Even if it were just to control the movements of the man in the suit for a few seconds.
The man in the suit held the small knife tightly with both hands, allowing the blood to flow down his neck. He stared intently at the knight commander, gradually moving towards the window.
Now he had lost his greatest chip.
Continuing to threaten Dekan might still be an option.
But the situation was already lost.
Showing off wasn't a wise strategy.
Most importantly, he now fully realized how sinister Dekan was.
Like a ghost!
Although the members of the Resurgence Church participating in the operation already knew Dekan's behavior patterns and the information about the cards he had used in the Shadow World, encountering Dekan in reality made him truly understand the despair of those members who had died miserably at Dekan's hands before.
True despair was like this. Every time he thought he was in control and about to win, the very next moment, he realized that he was just a toy in the hands of the opposing party.
This bottomless feeling, he didn't want to experience it for even a second longer.
As long as he could keep an eye on the knight commander's movements and guard against Dekan's pain attribute attacks through "Pain Nullification," he could escape!
Just break the window and summon the flying summon prepared ahead of time and he would be safe.
However, just as he was about to execute his escape plan.
"Hehe, idiot!"
There was some commotion near the cockpit, and three small, short-legged puppets appeared out of nowhere.
They had a chibi version of Dekan's appearance.
At this instant, the man in the suit was burning with rage! He lost his reason.
