Chapter 273 Finally Caught Up
Now that the concert was over, the competitors and the crew members they had brought along with them were led to the backstage area where a lounge had been set up for all of them.
This would be their first chance to really interact with each other, and after about half an hour, the star of the show, Nianni was supposed to arrive as well.
There were going to be a few promotional pictures taken between her and the competitors, but other than that everyone was free to do as they wished.
Naturally, Avery wanted to get to the bottom of what he had experienced during Nianni’s performance.
It obviously had not been a normal outcome, judging by how surprised the star herself had appeared.
’I know that my mind was almost pulled into something. Similar to most of the audience, including Kasandra. But while it felt unsettling, I never sensed anything malicious.’ Avery thought, deeply contemplating the unusual situation.
Yet, as he was lost in his own thoughts, something wholly unexpected occurred.
Avery was caught off-guard as someone from an intersecting hallway rushed towards him and grabbed ahold of him.
Normally he would have been able to notice their approach and react in time to prevent them from seizing him. And had they been a normal person, even as preoccupied with his thoughts as he was, Avery would have had plenty of time to avoid the individual.
Except, the woman that had latched onto him with a vicelike grip was far from average. In fact, she was the one that had given Avery his bionic augmentations in the first place.
"You’re not an easy man to get ahold of. But I’ve caught you now." Mercedes said, tightening her grip on Avery’s arm.
It did not particularly hurt, but Avery could tell that she had a solid hold on him.
