Binded By The Threatened Words

Rudy wears back his goggle which has the function of seeing the heat from people's bodies. As he saw it, there were people inside the building in his vicinity as Alex was saying.

"Eh, probably just a bandit."

"NO NO NO NO!!! They should've come out and backed up him by now!" Hearing Alex's words, Rudy clicked his tongue as he sighed.

"Huh~ You're a pain in the ass... Fine, but what if he pushed the button regardless? It might be a trick for him to escape."

"Uhh... I don't know... But I'd rather not take the chance if he presses that button." Said Alex with a low stutter tone. Rudy, looking at Alex who was bound by the threatening words from Tezin, put his arm around Alex's shoulder as he whispered to him.

"OI! What are you whispering about?! I'm not joking! I'll really push this button and blow your friends inside that stone igloo!" 

Tezin, became furious about what Alex and Rudy were talking about. Since his feet were stuck inside the rubble, he had no chance of escaping.

"Tch, shut up already~! I don't give a fuck if you want to push that button-"

"Don't Rudy! He'll really push that button." Alex pleaded with Rudy softly to not push Tezin's feelings to push the button. Rudy, gets his face closer to Alex as he whispers to him.

'Looks like he doesn't know about the civilian inside the building. He might think the explosion will hurt Hutogi and those civilians inside your fort, but It's an advantage at this point. And we'll use that against him.' Rudy pointed at the corpse of Tezin's dead companion.

'That's where the explosions are, If you use your Unique and move it upwards like you do it with those stones, that means the explosion can't reach any of those buildings now.' Hearing Rudy's whisper, Alex looked at the total of more than 100 dead corpses that were lying around his vicinity.

'That's... too much. There's so many of them.'

'Hehe... That's why you're going to play an important part in this moment. Overcome your limit, and save those civilian.'

"Hey, stop whispering! I'll push this button!" Tezin, brought his thumb closer to the red button, as his plan were on edge, 

at this point, he'll really push the button if he really wants to.

"In a second~"

'Okay? You'll really do it, right? Okay, let's go.' Rudy then stood up and walked over to Tezin.

"So, I'll proceed with your negotiations because we really don't want to get hit by that explosion~, But I have one question, why did you become a bandit when you can gain much more as a technician or engineer?" Tezin, looks down right towards where his feet are stuck in the ground, he tells a story to Rudy.

"Because, everything started well when I've turned 18. I'm not the top but has incredible potential among a few. In our project, I was grouped up with those I consider best friends. But on the day of the presentation, he betrayed me. He sabotaged the project I'd spent days and nights on and managed to put the blame on me, which caused the distrust of everyone towards me. From that day on, my normal school days become hellish torturous hell. The psychological infection towards me led me to leave the school and never come back.

(Yeah~ I smell bullshit from this guy... But I want to see where this story goes.)

"I left the Twin Kingdom and became an adventure. Even so, nobody would team up with a newbie like me. One day, I picked up the solo quest which hunting the goblin inside the cave. But thinking it was an easy quest for a guy like me is wrong. I was defeated the moment my sword broke. I was on the verge of death, but that's when that person came to save my life..."

(More bullshit...) Rudy yawns naturally as he breathes.

'Yo, I like the look in your eyes when you killed those bandits. How about joining our party? Of course, you'll get an income as many you sold that weapon to us.'

"And that's how I was saved. At first, I was oblivious to what kind of word they were doing. But the moment I knew about it, I had no choice but to obey. But please, let me go. I swear I'll repent and go on my way from now on." As Rudy heard Tezin's story with doubtful eyes, he sighed and talked to Alex.

"Okay, I've heard enough. Let him go, Alex."

 As Rudy said it, Alex cleared the small stone that was covering his foot. Led him to escape from an area. In the Tezin's blind spot, Alex was commanding a group of stones to bring the corpse to one place above the area.

Before Tezin realized it, the corpse was grouped right above Tezin. The moment Tezin escaped from the bind, he used the jetpack from his arsenal to make an escape from the area.

"HAHAHA! Finally! I've escaped! But, I won't say I'll really follow your plan!" Tezin pushed the red button. Regardless of the outcome, he'll push the button even if they plead with him. But what Tezin didn't know is that Alex managed to group up the corpse in one blind spot he didn't think it would. Right above his head. Rudy picked up his ears as he sighed because he definitely knew the outcome.

"Yeah, that's what I've thought. But you've already lost." Something was flying in Tezin's direction and broke his arm that was holding a jetpack, causing him to fall off the ground.

"O-Ouch, YOU LIE! But you've said you'll let me go-" As Tezin was talking, Rudy stomped on his arm, causing the scream of agony to even louder echo in Rudy's ears. But, from Rudy's face, he doesn't hold any remorse for this particular guy who's named 'Tezin'.

"When I knew about it, I was definitely surprised when I heard a noble like you is working alongside the dangerous syndicate." Tezin's eyes widened when he heard Rudy's words.

"W-Wait, how do you know-"

"Oh? You think I didn't know about you? Tezinis Lorath, was expelled from the school when he broke into the principal's office, stole the data from his computer, and sold it underground. In the end, you were caught and sent to the international prison. But on the way you were sent there, the carriage that was carrying you was attacked by the very same syndicate you're working for. For saving you from having your life inside the prison for half a decade, you've decided to work for them by making them the very same weapon they were holding."

Rudy pulls Tezin's hair, thus bringing him closer to his face.

"The very same gadget you plagiarism from me, you fuck..."
