Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Lights, Cameras and Explosions.

"This should be fun," Silk muttered with a grin as she moved a bit towards the mansion, a small cylinderical object in her hand.

This was another one of the gadgets Ethan had prepared just for this.

What did it do?

"Let’s find out what this thing does," She said,her grin getting wider by the second.

Following the instructions give to her, she pressed the sylinder, causing it to let out a subtle sound and produce a blue glow.

The sound got closer and closer to a whistle before Silk tossed it towards the estate.

The device landed in a grass patch, the small sound continuing for a while, until:

Fwoom!

A shockwave bubble of pure blue light spread outward from the device’s impact point. It travelled in a wide radius, hitting even the Mansion.

Inside, the effect was instantaneous.

The lights flickered before they turned off, this was then followed by the cameras, the AC unit and every single tech in the house.

Crkkzzzt!

Next to be hit was the communications, every earpiece, walkie-talkie, and comm line inside the building produced some white noise before going dead.

This caught all the guards in the Mansion, off guard, as they never expected an EMP blast to hit them.

"Yabai, sugoi!" Silk said as she saw the effects of the cylinder¹.

Even the team was affected by the EMP, as Nico and Juno’s disguises glitched for a bit, before stabilizing again, luckily, no one was around to notice.

"Silk," Tag’s voice came through a bit distorted, but still functional through the secured channel Athena had prepared to withstand the pulse. "Confirm status."

"The house is dark and their comms are dead," she answered." the guards are running around like footless chickens."

"Good," Tag replied. "Nico, what are the guards doing?"

Inside, Nico — still disguised as one of the mansion’s maids — took the cue. Her steps were steady, professional, the silver tray in her hands helping her blend perfectly as she walked past two panicked guards shouting at each other in Mandarin.

"They think it’s a power surge," she whispered softly into the comms. "They’re arguing about whether to call maintenance or security first."

"Good," Tag said. "Juno, you’re up, you have five minutes."

"Got it," Juno’s tired voice came through as he entered the stairwell opened by Nico, with Zero following behind.

"The hell is going on?"

While all the chaos went on, Madam Xu still in the living room with Jian Long, questioned in confusion.

Before Jian could answer, the sound of footsteps and shouting filled the corridor outside — guards yelling in Mandarin, some panicked, some confused. A few bursts of static came from their radios, followed by dead silence.

Madam Xu turned toward the door, her fury boiling over. "Get them under control!" she shouted to Zhao Ming, who stood frozen by the wall. "I want power restored and every inch of this estate searched! Now!"

Zhao flinched at her tone and rushed out the door, barking orders in return.
