Zen gripped Ethan's shirt tightly, then tried to hold his neck. However, Ethan was also quick to fight back, he pushed Zen away from him, but Ethan's shirt was pulled by Zen so that it was torn and left the tear in Zen's grasp. Ethan then immediately ran and held Mark.Zen did not give up so easily, he took a gun and shot Ethan in the back, so that the creature fell with Mark. Benjamin, who did not accept his friend being shot, shot back at Zen repeatedly, but Zen was very agile. He kept running and hiding behind a wall. Not a single bullet hit him.Benjamin ran towards Ethan and Mark while continuing to aim at Zen behind the wall. After getting close to them, Benjamin put two fingers on the vein on Ethan's neck. Despite being shot until he fell down, Ethan was still alive and his pulse was felt, while Mark fell silent in fear after witnessing the attack.Benjamin became annoyed and cursed, "Human asshole! Who the hell are you? Are you the perpetrator of so many murder cases lately?

James stood up and shuffled towards the monster whose skull he had crushed. The beast was trembling, its nose leaked green blood, and its body transformed into an ordinary human. The change in his body shape was irregular. His skin repeatedly turned into scales and returned to human skin. The face itself was no longer perfectly shaped. There were so many dents and transformations in some parts that could not be controlled.James felt sick at the horror. He was sure the monster's brain must have been injured so badly that it couldn't control its body properly. James picked up a fairly large stone.James lifted the rock high using both hands. The monster glared using one eye because the other was out of place. James said, "Does it hurt? I'll end it quickly!"The monster gaped several times, trying to scream, but couldn't make any sound. James slammed the rock into the monster's face until it crushed its skull. The monster's body wriggled a few times and finally died limp.James then turn

The monster didn't give up, he took the crowbar that was stuck in his friend's head, then he threw the crowbar like throwing a spear, targeting James. James could not dodge, behind James was Zen who was struggling to stand up. Finally, James caught the crowbar.The monster looked so surprised that a human could catch his throw. The human's hand should have been crushed immediately if he had done that. His red eyes bulged in surprise and he muttered, "No way..."Upon seeing James catch the crowbar, Zen became angry, "Why are you here? They're my prey! I told you to defeat the monster in that house! You'll lose access to HORNET if any monsters find out your identity!"James' own temples crinkled when Zen said that sentence. It was too late to tell him, because these monsters knew from the start.James looked at the monster in police armor in front of him. Its face gaped in astonishment as it continued to stare at James' hand that was holding a crowbar. James noticed the ugly face, he se

Zen let out a long breath. His chest tightened again, knowing that there was another colleague who would bear the status of Uncovered. Zen firmly asked, "Tell me, James. Is it Mark's father who knows your identity? Is it because I left you with that monster that they know your identity?"Zen asked a series of questions. He was afraid that another human would die because of his carelessness. His eyes kept looking at James with worry. It was an attitude he was not used to showing to others. It seemed like the incident with Ryo Krugger had really traumatized Zen.James understood that those questions were Zen's fears from the past, so James tried to smile even though it was bitter. He said to Zen, "Calm down. It's not because of you. They already knew my identity even before I entered HORNET. I've been a fugitive from them since the beginning.""How so?" Zen was somewhat confused.James averted his eyes, not daring to look at Zen directly. Cautiously, James began to tell the story, "The

Glowing lights illuminate the entire room, which has a relaxed feel. On the walls of the room were many photos of influential people in the city of Landfield, such as the president, the mayor, the police chief. There were also clippings from the Landfield police department, such as news of the attempted bank robbery, the dismantling of a serial murder case, and many more. All of this is in this room, which makes people look at it and feel amazed. At least, most people would be, except for the person sitting in the center of the room. A woman in a suit casually sipping tea and folding her legs. The sofa she was sitting on was so soft and comfortable that it felt like she was leaning back without any worries. From the look on her face, it looked like she was waiting for someone and was trying to entertain herself by sipping the hot tea. A palm flower tea with lemon juice. For a high-class monster like her, the scent of the flower was a very refreshing relaxation. They could calm their m
