After Zen finished off the monster, he contacted Rico. He asked for a pickup for them. They couldn't move freely if their situation was like this. They moved away from the place and hid before the monsters came back. They hid a kilometer away from the place, near the sewer. It was the safest place from the monsters' sense of smell.Even though their wounds were bandaged and left no trace during the journey, they still struggled to control themselves. James and Zen didn't have enough preparation to deal with their wounds. They could only hide behind the stench of the sewer, in the dark, murky tunnel.James was still daydreaming and his vision was blank. He just looked at the flowing murky water without saying anything. Zen herself looked out several times because she was anxiously waiting for Rico's help to arrive."Rico will be here any minute. It's a shame to get hurt like this when you're only facing a few monsters," Zen said to open the conversation. Instead of responding, James r
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
That sentence made James stop kicking the tunnel wall. He replied to Zen, "What did you say?"Zen didn't reply to him because the help that was coming was close to them. It was Rico and one of his men. Rico looked at the two of them. Then, he immediately took out two injections of regenerator serum. "You're badly injured. Put these on and come with me! You need a place to recover!"Zen took the injections and injected them into his body. It was different with James. He refused the injection and said he would only be injected with the regenerator serum if he was already at the base."James has two powers that prevent him from using the regenerator serum normally. He must be taken to a safe place before you inject him." Zen explained.Rico understood, so the four of them finally left the place for a safer place.Two men dressed as police officers and a woman wearing suits and sunglasses stood at Christian's destroyed house. They looked at the pieces of meat scattered around the place.
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
A sword that is not very long but very sharp and very powerful. A simple definition that the monsters could give for James' sword. An unusual object could be seen by the monsters, because it had a slightly different shape, only having half of the sharp part, while the other half was hollow. Between the sharp part and the hollow part, there was a part that functioned as a hinge, so that the object could be folded into a small stick.The sword was made of a metal so strong, the monsters didn't know it, but they did know that it could cut through their scales and bones.The police also found the same metal in three bodies found a few years ago. All the weapons could be folded into small sticks and had the same metal material. Sasha held her chin looking at the four objects. He suspected there must be a connection between these four people.Sasha asked the two policemen nearby, "Who owns the other three weapons?"One of the monsters was immediately busy opening a document about the weapo
"Calm down, Mr. Riko. There is nothing wrong with the regenerator serum. If you're referring to James Winter, that person's body has some side effects when using regenerator serum. The damaged parts of his body will be destroyed and then remolded again during the regeneration process, unlike the other HORNET members. Please do not frequently use the regenerator serum on James Winter for the sake of James Winter's mental health.""Oh my God..." Rico was shocked. A fact that Rico had never heard before. James could be very fragile in this situation. His two superpowers made him unable to use the serum properly. Because of his limited knowledge, he was suffering like this. From a distance, Rico saw James writhing in pain.Klee came to Rico in a hurry. "Mr. Rico! That woman came back here!"Rico furrowed his brow. He knew very well the woman Klee was referring to. A woman who had contributed to the destruction of his life, Lory.Rico chuckled at the news. The woman kept coming to his wor
Rico is in crisis. Lory could not know that James and Zen were there and recovering. Either way, Rico had to get this woman out of the workshop or Rico and the others would face death.Rico then smiled and approached Lory. "What are you talking about? It's just us," Rico tried to block Lory's view from the room where Zen and James were recovering.Lory narrowed her eyes slightly. He smelled an unusual situation. Rico's demeanor had been rude but now turned friendly. There was obviously something he was hiding.Without hesitation Lory pulled Rico's shirt collar so that the man's head was pulled and their faces became face to face, really very close. Lory then whispered to him, "I like your gentle attitude, keep it up before I do something you've never thought of," she said while letting out a little sigh. Lory then kissed Rico's cheek, an action that made Rico shudder.Rico grabbed Lory's shoulders and moved their faces away from each other. "Why did you do that?" Rico asked softly whi
Ryan thrashed about. He flailed at Lory's hand, but the scaly hand didn't budge at all. Ryan slashed his axe at Lory's hand, finally getting a cut because the metal of the axe had the power to pierce the scales of the monsters.Instead of retreating, Lory became even more ferocious, she cut Ryan's hand with her claws, so Ryan dropped his axe. Rico took aim with the gun. He shouted, "Stop! Let go of Ryan or I'll shoot!"Lory paused for a moment. He wondered where Rico was. Once he figured it out, he lifted Ryan's body and used it as a shield. Lory kept his grip on the body and Ryan kept screaming in pain. Rico had trouble aiming because he was blocked by Ryan's body."Asshole! You cowardly woman! Put Ryan down now!" exclaimed Rico looking for an opening to shoot. However, he couldn't find any opening because Lory kept hiding.Lory gripped Ryan's body even more which made the man bleed even more. He couldn't do anything as his bones were partially crushed by Lory."Bastard! Let go!" Ric
