The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 429 429:Atlantis On Fire

Just as suddenly had Walter's skin shifted, it shifted again before the transformation slowed, and Walter's face shifted into something eerily familiar.

Evan squinted, his breath still ragged from the pain. "Adrian? Aren't you Walter's secretary?" He paused, his brow furrowing. "Wait. No... if you can change into anyone, why are you taking on his appearance now?"

Walter—or Adrian—smirked, his reptilian eyes narrowing. "Sir Evan, you still don't understand your situation, do you?"

Evan's jaw tightened. "What are you talking about?"

Before Adrian could respond, a massive explosion shook the building. The walls trembled, and for a brief moment, the world outside lit up as if it were midday.

BOOOOOM!

The sound was deafening and reverberated through the room. Evan instinctively turned toward the source, his heart pounding.@@@@

Aurora's voice rang in his head, calm but urgent.

[Sir, our ship has been hit.] Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

Evan's eyes widened in shock. "What? How?"

Aurora's tone remained steady despite the worsening situation as the spaceship was forced to land nearby.

[A laser beam struck from deep underground. It blasted through the building and hit us. I managed to react in time to prevent total destruction, but the ship has taken significant damage.]

Evan clenched his fists, his mind racing. He turned back to Adrian, who was watching him with a smug expression.

"You came here to fight Sir Walter," Adrian said, his voice dripping with condescension. "But..." He gestured dramatically toward the chaos outside.

Evan's eyes narrowed. "But what?"

Adrian's smirk widened as he continued, "He's not even here. He has already left—with the entire Xenomorph army—to attack your base."

Evan's breath hitched, and for a moment, he felt the weight of the trap closing around him.

Adrian chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Oh, whom am I even talking to? You really don't know anything about us, do you?"

Evan's glare hardened. "Then tell me."

Adrian's scream turned to shrieks of terror as Evan pulled. Flesh tore, and bone cracked with a sickening crunch. With a brutal motion, Evan ripped Adrian's head clean off. Blood gushed from the stump as the last of Adrian's screams died down in his throat, his face still showing the shock and terror.

The searing blood splattered across Evan's body, burning through his skin, and exposing his flesh and organs but he didn't care. Pain no longer mattered.

Evan held the severed head for a moment, his icy gaze studying it with disdain. "This is all you amounted to," he muttered coldly.

Without hesitation, he dropped the head to the ground before crushing it under his foot. The remains splattered across the broken floor.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

He stomped it to pieces until nothing remained except the putrid mass of flesh and bone.

[Sir it's dead. Even if it could still stitch its head, it isn't in the condition to do so. Please, calm down.]

Evan heard Aurora's words but he didn't calm down, rather a dense energy emerged from his body that shook the entire place.

The floor beneath his feet trembled, cracks splintering outward.

"Aurora," Evan said, his voice calm but firm.

Understanding what Evan meant, Aurora answered immediately.

[Sir, the fight is still going on. Miss Suri is holding the line and taking command of our forces.]

"Can our spaceships still fly?"

[The main thrusters are damaged. We can use alternative aircraft to reach the base, but it will take time.]

Evan clicked his tongue in frustration. "That won't be fast enough."

His gaze then dropped to his suit. An idea formed. A faint smile played at the corner of his lips.

The ground trembled beneath his feet, and the air grew heavy with energy. Objects around him began to float, pulled by the sheer force of the energy radiating from his body.

His armour responded, snapping into place around him.

And then, with a thunderous boom, Evan launched into the sky like a missile, leaving a shockwave in his wake as he shot toward the battlefield.

The fight was far from over.
