Chapter 14 - Chase.

Jack felt the anger coming from Star Warrior.

''Found you...''

He took the refrigerator and started carrying it.

''Grr...'' He growled angrily and started walking towards Star Warrior's direction.

The Helicopter was still up in the air.

And the News Anchor still had tears in his eyes, but he had to continue the broadcast. ''T-The Jack has finally started moving again!''

The citizens watching the screen looked hatefully towards Jack's figure, but they paled after seeing where he was heading.

He was heading towards the exit of Charity, and there were over 100k people stuck there! Waiting to leave Charity.

Heroes Association panicked and tried to do everything he could to speed up the evacuation.

Chris barked the orders; Kenturion made him the Deputy Chairman before he left because he could trust him.

And now Chris was in the charge.

Even though he wants to send all their Heroes to try to kill Jack, he knows it's a useless attempt.

He could only grit his teeth and try to evacuate as many as possible.

Jack didn't care about the citizens trying to escape.

His target is Star Warrior, Green Dream, and Laurence, no one else.

Everywhere he walked, he saw ruins of building and blood coloring the ground.

The streets looked like it was painted red.

It was the blood of the citizens.

There were also body parts lying on the ground.

But it only made Jack recall the time he saw the Kitchen, it was also painted red, and only Sophia's arm was lying on the ground, rest of her body was the blood on the walls.

It looked very similar to the sight he is seeing right now.

Jack feels his strength increasing every second.

His Rage is increasing; it is already at 33%.

But he could also feel the anger coming from the direction he was walking in.

It isn't only Star Warrior who is feeling angry.

A lot of the citizens are.

Anger towards him.

Anger towards other citizens for blocking their path.

They feel anger from many different things, but no matter how small it is.

Jack could feel it.

And he feels himself getting stronger and stronger.

The red energy inside him is screaming to be released.

But Jack isn't planning to release the red energy.

He knows that if he releases it now, it will kill Star Warrior and Green Dream.

He isn't planning to let them have an easy death; he will make them suffer.

Jack still can't pinpoint Laurence's position.

Which means he isn't feeling anger.

Maybe he is feeling fear instead.

But...

Fear can cause anger as well.

Fear usually leads to anger.

For example, we might feel anger in response to our fear when someone suddenly cuts in front of us while driving down the highway.

Fear and Anger are related.

Currently, Jack can't feel anger coming from Laurence, but he might later.

And once he feels anger... Jack will find him.

Jack turned his head towards his left, and he could already see the tightly packed road in front of him.

No matter where he looked, he could see a sea of people.

There were over 100k.

The Helicopter circled in the sky above Jack.

The Helicopter's sound attracted a lot of attention.

They were uninterested at first.

But then they saw a black-haired man carrying a refrigerator.

They paled.

''IT'S THE JACK! HE IS HERE!'' Panic spread everywhere; the citizens looked behind him and saw their biggest nightmare.

A black-haired man with black and red eyes was walking towards them.

''HEROES, SAVE US!''

Jack ignored the panicking citizens and tried to find the location of Star Warrior.

A few hundred meters away from him, in a black car.

Star Warrior was currently rubbing Ariane's thigh; he would want to rip off her dress and have his way with her.

But it would be bad if citizens saw it.

He tried to restrain himself, but it was hard, and his anger kept increasing.

...But then suddenly they saw the citizens running with panicked expressions in the streets.

''What is it?'' Star Warrior asked the driver.

The driver paled; he opened the door and started running as well.

''WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING?!'' Star Warrior screamed.

Green Dream opened the door and tried to find why the people were running.

And then he saw... A black-haired man was walking towards them while carrying a refrigerator.

Green Dream's body trembled.

''Fatty, what is it?!'' Star Warrior screamed.

''I-I-It's The Jack!'' Green Dream screeched with panic.

''WHAT!'' Star Warrior screamed; he opened the door on his side and saw a black-haired man walking towards them.

''No...'' Star Warrior paled.

Green Dream started retreating; he activated his superpower called Fat Burn.

This ability lets him burn his fat, and the more fat he burns, the faster he becomes.

He started running away and pushed the citizens away from his way.

Which earned him a lot of angry screams from the citizens.

But he didn't care; he didn't stop running.

''FATTY! YOU DARE TO LEAVE ME BEHIND!'' Star Warrior screamed; he looked inside the car and saw Ariane's tearful expression; he gritted his teeth.

''You are lucky that I didn't get to taste you; otherwise, you would be addicted to my dick already, but at least you will die in the hands of The Jack!'' Star Warrior said angrily and left the car; he used his Star Energy and started floating in the air, flying above the citizens.

Ariane was left in the car alone; she also heard about The Jack before she got captured by Star Warrior, and she is aware that death is approaching.

She started crying. 'Mommy... Daddy...'

Panic filled the streets, but Jack was still walking calmly.

His calm expression frightened the citizens even more.

The one who shows angry expression while killing isn't as terrifying as someone who stays calm.

Jack saw Star Warrior and Green Dream accelerating quickly; they were getting further and further.

But he doesn't care.

He has already locked their anger; once someone feels angry, he will never forget their anger.

Even if their anger turns to 0%, he will still know their locations because the Anger Meter is like a beacon for Jack.

He will never forget the signal of the beacon.

That's why Star Warrior and Green Dream will never be able to run away.

They can try...

But it won't end well.

Jack is planning to make them paranoid of every single thing.

And once they despair enough and know that they won't be able to escape from him.

Then he will finally make his appearance in front of them.

But he won't kill them right away.

He will make them feel such pain that they won't be able to forget even after death.

And there is still Laurence.

He will kill Laurence.

But first, he needs to make him feel that death is approaching.

It makes him very paranoid and scared.

He can't even sleep without feeling fear of dying.

He might wake up one day and see Jack standing next to him.

Jack had already reached the black car, and he felt the anger signal of Star Warrior and Green Dream's coming from it.

The car doors were already open, he looked inside the car, and his eyes locked with a fearful young woman.

'I remember her...' Jack thought. 'She is 3-Star Hero Beautiful Princess... She used to help the homeless from my neighborhood, and she was Sophia's favorite hero...'

Jack saw her state, her makeup was ruined, and tears stains covered her cute face, making everyone who saw her state feel pity towards her.

He felt Star Warrior's energy coming from the binds which are tightly holding her wrists and legs.

He feels her anger, but the anger isn't directed towards him.

[Anger Meter: Ariane - 29% - Star Warrior... I will haunt you even after my death!]

'I see...' Even though Jack's mind was clouded in rage and it was already approaching the 40% mark.

Everything related to Sophia still makes him have some clarity.

And he remembers how Sophia talked about the new Hero Beautiful Princess before they went to sleep.

They ofter had talks during the night, which was one of Jack's fondest memories.

Sophia always smiles on her face while talking about the Beautiful Princess.

Ariane closed her eyes and waited for her death.

Her only regret is that Star Warrior is still alive and can't meet her family anymore.

...But then she felt the Star Energy binds disappearing from his wrists and legs.

She opened her eyes, and with her hazy expression, she saw Jack removing the binds.

Every time Jack touched the Star Energy, it disappeared into ashes.

Ariane was now free; she looked with shock towards the so-called Disaster of Charity.

Jack took his hand back and started walking away from the black car.

He started following the signal of Star Warrior and Green Dream.

Chase is about to begin.

Ariane, in the black car, was left alone with her thoughts.

''He saved me... Why?'' She thought with shock.

She would like to yell and ask from Jack, but she is still fearful.

Jack looks pretty unpredictable.

He might turn away and kill her without a moment of notice.

But she couldn't stop thinking about Jack's face; it was filled with pain and rage.

His eyes weren't as mad as they looked on the TV.

Ariane only saw sadness and emptiness in his eyes.

She touched her chest, and she felt her heart pounding loudly.
