Chapter 108: Light.
’I guess trying to lure them to a blind zone was too obvious.’ Dante thought aloud. ’Maybe they just ran away after all.’
[That might be the case. Though the question remains, what is their objective?]
Worst case scenario is that the stalker worked for Eidolon, but Dante scratched the idea right away for the simple reason that they wouldn’t have needed to track the bikes to find him with one of the biggest corpos in the world backing them.
’Wouldn’t it have been easier to wait for me outside the police station then track me from there?’
Victor had dropped him off at a train station, where he took a ride home. If the stalker had followed him since then, they would’ve figured out where he lived, making everything else easier.
Dante reached the alley’s exit then chose a random direction to take, summoning back the screens with the security feed, which he had put aside so he could focus on the fight. As he skimmed through them one by one, a thought occurred to him.
’Maybe if I got a bunch of drones, I can use them like-’
He had a feeling that it was a brilliant idea, but unfortunately, he didn’t get to finish the thought as something slammed into him out of nowhere, almost causing him to lose balance.
Clearing the screens blocking his sight with a thought, Dante saw that it was just a kid. A young boy, from the looks of it, and one who didn’t win the gene lottery, seeing how he was barely four feet tall.
The kid was wearing an oversized puffer jacket and had the hood covering his head. The yellow gym bag he carried on his back was almost as large as him, making for quite the bizarre look.
"Sorry!"
