Chapter 11
Ten minutes later, on a highway under the dark night sky, an SUV was cruising along. In the driver's seat, Pietro, dressed in a T-shirt that highlighted his strong muscles, rested one hand on the steering wheel while the other supported his cheek against the window. He was humming an unknown tune, the light rain outside adding to his sense of comfort.
Suddenly, two bursts of sound came from behind. Pietro frowned and glanced in the rearview mirror, spotting two figures wrapped in a kind of wave, running through the rain at superhuman speed.
Before he could react, the two figures had already caught up with the SUV.
Bang!
The car doors opened and closed swiftly, and Wanda and Sergei were now seated inside. Pietro wasn't surprised by this scene that defied normal logic. He turned to his sister, who was taking off her hood in the passenger seat. "Done? That was fast."
"How hard to deal do you expect a group of ordinary people to be?" Wanda replied, leaning back in her chair and casually resting her slender legs on the plastic dashboard in front of her.
After two years of intense training in Water Breathing, Wanda had also awakened her own power—chaos magic. Combined, these abilities made her combat power formidable. Not to mention, Sergei alone could have taken care of all those people.
With Leon's guidance, Sergei had perfected Flame Breathing, and after two years of relentless training, he had reached a level where he could maintain 'Total Concentration' at all times.
Under normal conditions, Sergei's speed is close to two hundred meters per second, and it's still increasing rapidly. With such speed and strength, he could easily have taken down a Hydra base on his own two years ago. However, since these bases are typically equipped with self-destruction systems, only Pietro and Wanda could escape safely before an explosion, so Leon didn't involve them in the Hydra base raids.
