"No, sir. No one's on the cameras."

MC's POV
The first generator going down was my signal.
It meant Asterios Dukas was dead.
Still, I didn't leave immediately.
I stepped into the training hall, moving silently, and looked over the scene.
The body was charred black, and the mana residue in the air was almost choking. There was no question.
He wasn't coming back from that.

Even though I killed Asterios, I did not leave the underground base.
I still had to save the kids, and steal the gold.
I made my way to the room housing the second generator.
