Chapter 226: Who’s next?
Deep in one of the safe bunkers setup by Lumia kingdom, in preparation for an invasion. Crowds of people comprising of the kingdom’s population were mostly present here. Along with the space guards, and scientist from the logistics and information lab supervising them.
What was a small debate of rights had spiralled into full fledged assault. Luckily contained quickly, by the brave act of non other than Layla.
"Please, tell me. What can I do to repay the kindness you’ve shown to me." Katie spoke with a soft tone, her head still slightly bowed down.
"What!? No, no~ hehe I couldn’t possibly take something from you. And besides, you’re not meant to be bending like that. It’s bad for your age." Layla kindly refused Katie’s offer, leaning to help her stand up.
"If that is your wish~" Katie softly muttered, clenching her fist. Making layla’s eye widen in shock, having a clear picture of what was going to transpire next.
"Then I shall stand up for myself!" She screamed with crazed eyes.
Lifting her head, along with her hand reaching for layla’s shielded energy sword. The distance between them was really close, so it wasn’t a problem to reach the sword. Catching the female space guard by surprise, who’d opted to help.
"Shit! This is bad, I can’t dodge from this angle." Layla cursed her luck for letting her guard down, and falling into Katie’s trap.
"Say hello to the king on the other side." Katie whispered with a malicious grin, unshielding the sword.
Using the momentum of the upwards thrust to bring the energy sword upwards. In a slash like perspective, aimed at layla’s unprotected head.
"Layla!" Lucia’s yelled, reaching for his beam blaster by his side.
He had a bad feeling about Katie’s suspicions acceptance, which naturally seemed too good to be true. But it was too late to react now.
