The morning sun shone on all beneath it.
Aiden flew through the skies with extreme speed.
Eventually, he appeared where the intermediate rank 2 chaotic beasts were lurking in the middle of the desert.
He was floating in the skies.
Currently, he was near the corpse of Madmax’s daughter, which was bound in his microscopic crimson threads.
So far, the viewers of the feed hadn’t seen him yet.
He was far in the skies, after all.
Also, Madmax and his entourage were yet to arrive in the middle of the desert.
The viewers watched with bated breath.
Who was this daring person who had captured the daughter of the city lord?
Some of them presumed him to be the city lord’s enemy from the past.
Others assumed it was a group of powerful raiders who had a falling out with the city lord in the past and wanted revenge.
Madmax and the entourage eventually arrived at the middle part of the desert.
A glint flashed through the eyes of Aiden, who was in the skies.
"Time to bait him," Aiden thought.
The microscopic crimson threads holding the corpse of his daughter slowly lowered the corpse of Madmax’s daughter from the skies.
Eventually, it came into view.
"Daughter! You imbecile! What did you do to her?"
Madmax screamed when he saw his unconscious daughter floating in the sky.
She looked unharmed.
He flew towards her, his entourage following him.
The audience watched everything with bated breath.
Why was the culprit still not showing himself?
"Sir... I think this is a trap. Maybe we should exercise more cau—"
"Shut up!" Before the subordinate could even finish speaking, Madmax shut him up.
Those watching the stream realized that something was off and one of the subordinates was trying to bring the city lord’s attention to it.
But he had completely lost it.
He didn’t even give ear to the district lord.
Who could blame him, though?
Anyone in his situation would have acted the same way, especially considering the fact that he had lost his wife several years ago.
Just the sight of his unconscious daughter floating in the sky was enough to let him abandon all caution.
Aiden observed everything from the clouds.
Madmax and his entourage flew towards the floating corpse of Madmax’s daughter.
When Aiden lowered the corpse, he lowered it precisely above the spot where the bones of Butler Steve and the friends of the city lord’s daughter were.
However, he didn’t lower it low enough for the sandworms to notice it. Just enough to bait Madmax and his entourage in the direction of where the sandworms were hiding.
"Should be happening about now," Aiden thought.
Just when he spoke, the audience saw several large maws leap out of the ground.
The maws closed around Madmax and his entourage from the waist down before they could even act.
Extreme pain traveled through them as they screamed.
The corpse of Madmax’s daughter fell into the mouth of one of the sandworms.
"Nooooo... Show yourself... show yourself... you fucker..."
Madmax had lost it. He wanted to see the bastard who had done this to him.
A figure appeared.
He was calmly floating above ground.
Crimson eyes. Black hair.
In a t-shirt, shorts, and slippers.
His hands were in his pockets and he had a casual expression on his face.
Madmax looked at the man with a puzzled expression on his face.
Who the hell was this guy?
Wait...
"Hahahahhahaha!" Madmax laughed manically.
As the intermediate rank 3 sandworm was swallowing him whole, he spoke.
"I see... You found my weakness, kidnapped her, and used these creatures to set a trap for me... how terrifying." At these words, the mouth of the sandworm closed around him completely.
As for his entourage, the mouths of the other intermediate rank 3 sandworms also closed around them completely as they stared at the unknown figure floating in the sky in fear, realization dawning on them.
This person was such a terrifying schemer.
The place turned silent.
A few moments later, the sandworms spat out the bones of the city lord and his entourage.
After that, the creatures looked closely at the person floating in the skies for a moment.
This human...
He was extremely careful. Considering where he was floating at the moment, he was too far away from them for them to kill him.
What a tactical human...
The creatures disappeared into the sand, leaving only the bones of the snacks they just had behind.
The city-wide audience watching the feed were silent.
No one could process what had just happened.
Everyone looked at the crimson-eyed, calm figure in shorts, t-shirt, and slippers floating above the desert.
They all heard the city lord’s words before he died.
So this is what he did.
From the beginning, everything had been a trap.
This man had orchestrated the downfall of the city lord and all his key powerhouses in such a terrifying manner.
He knew the only thing that could cause the city lord to lose rationality and walk into the environmental trap he had set in the desert was the city lord’s daughter.
For his plan to work, the city lord had to lose caution. Under normal circumstances, there was no way a man who had ruled a criminal-infested city for decades would dangerously rush into a desert and abandon all caution when he knew dangerous creatures that could kill him lurked beneath the sand.
In order to get the city lord to abandon reason and caution, the mysterious man kidnapped his daughter and used her as bait to lure the man out into the desert, and to where he had set the trap, which was the intermediate rank 3 sandworms.
Everyone watching the stream, Dickinson included, felt chills crawl up their spines.
How could he even think of something like this and pull it off?
Aiden flapped his small crimson wings in his clothes. He bolted into the clouds and disappeared.
But no one in MadCity could speak a word as they stared at their screens.
Many were asking themselves the same question:
This person had ended the rule of a rumored beginner rank 3 warrior, who had ruled MadCity for decades, without lifting a finger.
He had lured the man into his own demise. It was safe to say that the city lord and his entourage were moved like chess pieces on a board to their deaths by him.
Who the hell was this person?
