Chapter 284: An explosive end to a press conference
"Wait!" Someone called desperately. Kellen glanced over to find that it was a reporter. "What about the fact that the E.A.G. member who took over the news broadcast looked like Lieutenant Gunther from the Saturn Guild?" Sakura didn’t stop moving, but Kellen did.
He did not want that to besmirch the Guild’s name, nor Gunther’s. They both had a lot going on right now.
Kellen knew his face had to be contorted into disgust as he moved the mic towards his face again.
"Do you really believe that box dyed idiot has anything on our Lieutenant Gunther? You could see his roots poking out from a mile away. Lieutenant Gunther’s hair is that colour naturally, or as naturally as it can be when you’re an Esper heavily influenced by your powers. They are not related, and I am sure that idiot did this intentionally to try and sow discord. Unfortunately for him, I can figure that shit out from a mile away." Kellen rolled his eyes. "If there was a chance that Lieutenant Gunther was a member of the E. A. G. he would have done a better job. Maybe wear a wig next time?" Kellen suggested mildly, before stepping away from the podium.
Stepping back with his injured leg, he wobbled for a second. Both Sakura and Esper Blake jerked, going to catch him before he caught himself. He did his best not to get embarrassed. This was nothing. This was just a normal reaction on their part.
Esper Blake’s head suddenly jerked in a specific direction, her eyes bright and then Sakura turned her eyes towards that direction.
"Someone is attempting to fire at you." Esper Blake whispered, and Kellen felt a shiver of anticipation run down his spine.
"Where?" He asked and she nodded towards the direction she was looking. Kellen, his body trembling slightly with excitement, looked in the direction she was looking.
Off in the distance there was a person set up on a rooftop. Kellen was stunned that they hadn’t noticed them until now, but they could have been getting help from someone or something. There weren’t a lot of Espers with the powers of invisibility, but there were a lot of monsters who had the power, thus a lot of items that could help you camouflage. Kellen had a feeling that it was the latter that helped this person.
