Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Hijacking

"I hope you won't move, or the bullets won't be discriminating." The hijackers, in the middle of their search, had arrived in front of the Shadow Ninjas.

"Take the newspaper down," a hijacker aimed his gun at the Shadow Ninja.

The Shadow Ninja slowly lowered the newspaper, revealing his crimson eyes.

"Your eyes..." While the hijacker was momentarily stunned,

The Shadow Ninjas moved all at once! They drew the shurikens from their waists and began to fight back!

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Shurikens flew everywhere. All the passengers ducked and lay on the floor in terror. Five or six hijackers were hit instantly. The lucky ones were hit in the arm, the unlucky ones in the chest or head.

"Don't shoot indiscriminately!" the hijacker leader yelled.

What he feared most was stray bullets breaking the airplane windows. Although the windows were very strong, what if?

The Shadowkhan, however, had no such reservations. Since the fighting had started, they threw their shurikens without hesitation.

Some unlucky passengers even had shurikens stuck in their rear ends.

"What are the flight crew doing! What's going on with these ten black-clothed people and the hijackers!" the passengers complained.

When the two sides fought, it was always the passengers who got hurt. They were targeted by either bullets or shurikens!

BANG!

One Shadow Ninja was hit by a bullet and dissolved into black mist.

"What the hell is going on?!" The hijackers were dumbfounded. Shouldn't he have fallen down when hit? Why did he turn into black mist?

The Shadow Ninjas exchanged glances and reached a consensus: retreat!

They all used their nimble movements to leap backward, slipping into the first-class cabin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Shadowkhan reached the first-class cabin, they saw five more hijackers inside, aiming their guns at them.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Shadowkhan swiftly dodged, easily threw their shurikens, and killed the five hijackers, successfully occupying the first-class area.

There were only nine passengers in the first-class cabin, which explained why there were only five hijackers there.

"Who exactly are you people!" the first-class passengers shouted.

Their minds were in chaos. The hijackers who were just threatening them had been killed by a group of black-clothed people who had just entered, and now they wondered what these new people wanted.

The Shadowkhan ignored them. They all walked toward the aircraft door. They looked at each other, and one of the Shadow Ninjas was wearing a wristwatch.

After confirming the time, three Shadow Ninjas pulled open the cabin door!

BOOM! The powerful air pressure created a vacuum that sucked all the Shadow Ninjas near the door out into the air. The Shadow Ninjas opened their gliders and steadily sailed downward.

The Shadowkhan were relieved, but the others were not. With the cabin door open, everyone could clearly feel the suction.

Riding the night wind, the Shadowkhan successfully entered German airspace and prepared to land.

Morning in New York

"One killed?" Silas could feel the loss of one of his Shadowkhan. He knew a Shadow Ninja had just been dispelled.

"What happened?" Silas asked the remaining Shadow Ninjas through their mental link.

This was a unique feature of the Shadowkhan's connection. As their master, he could communicate with them over long distances, which was also how he located the Lizard in the sewer.

Silas nodded moments later. So that's what happened. Sending the Shadowkhan to retrieve a Talisman led to this kind of incident.

"I have to unlock the teleportation ability quickly!" Silas was no longer sleepy. He would go grab breakfast this early morning and then take action!

Silas got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast.

"You slept so late yesterday, aren't you going to sleep a little more, Silas?" Aunt May asked as she set down breakfast.

Ben Parker had to wake up early for work, and she had to prepare his breakfast.

But Silas, who usually liked to sleep in, was awake so early today. Even Peter hadn't woken up yet.

Aunt May didn't know that Peter had gone out to be Spider-Man again last night, working until the middle of the night before returning to his room to sleep.

In that regard, Peter was much more diligent than Silas. Silas went to sleep around midnight and didn't go out to earn so-called Evil Points. To get Evil Points, he would have to commit crimes.

"Waking up early is good for the body. I'll eat breakfast and then go work out," Silas said, jogging in place.

Aunt May was pleased. "I'm glad you think so. Have your breakfast."

"Will do." Silas started eating his breakfast.

[Killed 8 criminals, gained 8 Justice Points]

[Killed 8 criminals, gained 8 Evil Points]

The system popped up Two consecutive notifications, shocking Silas as he ate his breakfast. It can be done this way!

This gave Silas a huge idea. He felt tired and fatigued, but the Shadowkhan did not.

And since he gained Justice and Evil Points for the actions they caused, he could absolutely just have the Shadowkhan handle everything!

"Aunt May, I'm going back to my room!" Silas quickly put down his breakfast and rushed back to his room.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Shadowkhan were summoned one after another. They slipped out the window to carry out Silas's commands.

"I need to utilize the Shadowkhan more!" Silas felt he was too foolish before, not making the most of such a great resource.

After summoning all the Shadow Ninjas he could currently summon, Silas returned downstairs to finish his meal.

Even if he wasn't going to strive for Evil Points right now, he should at least go out for a walk. Staying cooped up inside was too boring.

"I'm heading out, Aunt May!" Silas called out as he opened the door.

"Alright!" Aunt May responded.

Click!

Silas closed the door and looked at the sunny weather outside. His mood brightened.

Meanwhile, the Shadowkhan had landed on the ground. They took out the Pig Talisman Locator they were carrying, and the west-facing dragon head's eye lit up.

The Shadowkhan ran in that direction. Along the way, they spotted an SUV parked at a gas station.

The SUV driver finished pumping gas and was about to drive off when he saw nine black-clothed men standing in front of him, blocking his way.

"Hey! Move aside!" the driver leaned out and shouted.

A Shadow Ninja immediately jumped to the driver's door, forcibly dragged him out, and all the ninjas jumped into the car.

The Shadow Ninja in the driver's seat started the engine and sped away, leaving the driver on the ground eating dust.

"Hey! Someone stole my car!" the driver yelled to the gas station attendant.

Inside the car, the Shadow Ninja in the passenger seat held the Pig Talisman Locator, giving directions to the Shadow Ninja driving.

"???" The Shadow Ninja tapped his driving companion, alerting him that he was going the wrong way.

The Shadow Ninja driving immediately made a sharp U-turn, heading in the opposite direction of traffic.

The driver, still fuming at the gas station, watched the SUV drive past him again.

"Damn it! It's them! They're lawless! How arrogant!" The driver thought the Shadow Ninjas were intentionally humiliating him.

The Shadowkhan were completely unaware of this, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
