BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1734 Scheme
"Shut up!" The King of Fighters couldn\'t care less about his opinion, especially since he was still under the assumption that he was the culprit.
Even the leader of Azka\'s organization came to him and said, "Azka. You should stop right now. Everything will be revealed in a moment."
Everyone was already raising their guard as the tensions soared through the roof. They began to doubt the Vice President and Azka since they had been trying to stop the entire process as if they were trying to hide something.
Hence, they were going to do everything they could to stop anyone from interfering with the King of Fighters\' actions.
The King of Fighters glared at the boy with murderous eyes.
He said coldly, "Don\'t worry, kid. I\'m going to do it painlessly."
"What is this? Am I going to die? No, no, I don\'t want to die!" The guy was screaming, trying to escape.
Unfortunately for him, the King of Fighters had grasped his arm. He then thrust his hand into the kid\'s heart.
Many people closed their eyes. On the one hand, they couldn\'t bear to watch it because this was too cruel since the kid might be innocent. On the other hand, they couldn\'t deny the possibility of the kid being a monster.
"Gah." The kid spat a mouthful of blood.
But to everyone\'s surprise, there was nothing coming out of the kid\'s body except for blood.
"Huh? The blood is the same, but that position should be his heart, right? Then…"
The people gasped because they realized the same thing. There was one question in everyone\'s mind.
\'Where is his heart?\'
The King of Fighters didn\'t use his Spiritual Energy and his power wasn\'t that strong to the point it would destroy the heart. Hence, the heart should come out when the King of Fighters thrust his hand.
He even pulled his hand back, showing the hole where they couldn\'t find the heart.
"Where is his heart? A human should have a heart!"
"Does that mean the kid was a monster?"
"That\'s right. It seems that the King of Fighter has proven his information."
"Sir King of Fighters, one of my people is also included in that group. I\'ll bring her to you so that everyone can check it!"
"If there are monsters among us, it\'ll be extremely dangerous since we don\'t know when they\'re going to kill us all."
"That\'s right. Even if I have to be ruthless, I can\'t allow the monsters to sneak into the base!"
The silent and cold hall turned fiery as soon as they saw the result.
"Before calling them, you might not believe me if I told you I didn\'t crush his heart. Hence…" The King of Fighters pointed at the doctors in the sterilized room. "You four… Conduct an autopsy to see whether this guy has organs like humans or not."
Everyone shuddered, realizing this was the best way to prove it. And the Vice President had gone all the way to bring the doctors to do it. This was like digging his own grave.
While the others were discussing their finding, Maya couldn\'t help but glance at the mastermind of this entire ruckus.
"Is everything going according to your plan? Although I can kind of understand your plan, why are you using the King of Fighters? Are you going to give him a redemption chance or something?" Maya asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
Theo snapped his finger to create an illusion so that no one could hear what they were talking about.
He shook his head. "Not really. It\'s true that he has bashed Rea, but that kind of grudge is not enough for me to want to destroy his entire family. I\'m not that petty. So, yeah, this can be said as a redemption chance as well.
"But the biggest reason why I chose him was because he was the scapegoat. As someone who ended up in that situation, he would be trying to take revenge against anyone that hurt him, including us.
"However, he couldn\'t do anything to us because of me… Or at least, he had to prepare all sorts of plans if he wanted to go against me. Hence, his targets would be the Vice President and Azka."
"Ah!" Maya finally remembered something. "Is that why you asked me to keep sending all the information we have to him?"
"Yes." Theo nodded. "With this, the King of Fighters wouldn\'t hesitate to do anything even if it means becoming a huge controversy. No matter what he does today, his reputation has gone rock bottom from opposing us anyway. That\'s why if he\'s planning to do something, he will do it all the way.
"And with that, we have nurtured a perfect scapegoat as well." Theo smirked.
"A scapegoat… Don\'t tell me, you\'re also planning to make the King of Fighters a scapegoat?" Maya widened her eyes in shock. This made Theo not look any different from the Vice President and Azka.
On the other hand, Theo explained the reason why he wanted him to be the scapegoat. "Don\'t get me wrong, I have a good reason for it. Suppose I\'m showing myself here. In that case, the enemy will point their sword at me, right?"
"Yes."
"But since I\'m equal to a World Class Monster, what will the World Class Monster or the King Class Monsters do?"
"Hmm…" Maya looked down, contemplating for a moment. "They couldn\'t do anything. They were wary of your action, so they were trying to wait and see."
"That\'s right. And when that happens, they\'re going to make an even bigger plan to outsmart me. But what if they don\'t know this is my scheme?"
"If that\'s the case, they think the King of Fighters can be the target of their revenge. He is the one crushing their plan, so they\'ll do everything they can to eliminate the King of Fighters. Besides, their King Class Monsters or even the World Class Monster won\'t be wary of him.
"In that case, they\'re going to do it straightforwardly by killing the King of Fighters. Their plan won\'t be as good as when you\'re their opponent… I see. So, the reason why you\'re making him the figurehead is to lower their guard. And that\'s where you strike…"
"Exactly." Theo smiled. He pointed at the King of Fighters. "Hence, I\'m planning to lure them out to kill them by utilizing the King of Fighters. He is a perfect person to do just that."
Maya closed her eyes for a moment. Even now, she couldn\'t predict what Theo was thinking and to what extent his scheme spread.
And just by listening to him, she felt chills down her spine. If Theo wanted it, the entire Star Group would be destroyed in a single night.
"I guess this is his fortune and misfortune."
"Yes. Everything is because I couldn\'t afford to show myself yet…" Theo nodded with a grim expression.
