Less than five minutes after the terrorist attack on the Second Blockade Administration Bureau, a report from the on-site search and rescue team appeared before Yegor.
The Secretary-General of the Decision Room stared at the brief report—only a few hundred words—turning it over and over in his hands for more than ten minutes. He rubbed his face, still utterly bewildered.
He looked up at the Creator before him.
Yegor fell silent.
Creator Zero also fell silent.
"..."
"..."
After a long while, Yegor finally seemed to react. He confirmed again, "Rainbow... Bridge?"
"Yes." Zero nodded.
"That... that Rainbow Bridge?" Yegor's voice rose along with his blood pressure.
His vision went dark.
"Yes, that's right."
Zero nodded in confirmation. "In order to take down Solomon, Huai Shi stormed the headquarters of the Second Blockade Administration Bureau, blew up our restroom, took staff hostage, and then sent himself through a teleportation—an accurate airdrop straight in front of Solomon.
"I have to say, it was a strategy so insane it was frightening, but its effectiveness was just as frightening."
How could he not be frightened?!
Yegor wanted to slam his fists on the desk and howl.
That was the fucking Rainbow Bridge, brother! The Second Blockade was everywhere throughout the Present Realm, the Unified Bureau's central agency, the most vital part of its vital components.
And then it suddenly got hijacked, stabbed in the back, all so someone could make a high-altitude skydive?
Was he insane?
Oh, Utopia? Well... even Utopia couldn't just do whatever the hell it wanted!
What even was this?
Blowing up the house to put out a fire? To prevent the possible damage Solomon might cause, I chose to attack the Rainbow Bridge?
And Yegor even suspected that this bastard had wanted to do it for ages!
