Chapter 245: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 33)
There was no way out without a fight, so the four members of Team Silver Wind had no choice but to defeat the blue demons before going after their target.
When White Arrow gave his suggestion, the others nodded in agreement and braced themselves. Just as they prepared to launch their attack, the sound of heavy steps drew their attention to the door.
Right in front of their eyes, another blue demon stepped out of the darkness. At first glance, he seemed identical to the others, but it didn’t take long to notice the differences. For one, the mechanized suit was much bulkier and contained far more components, looking like a proper power suit. The obsidian plating seemed much more polished, its surface reflecting the gentle room’s gentle light, and the gaps between the parts glowed with a faint neon blue, accentuating the suit’s sublime form.
The crimson gleam in the depths of the demon-like headgear pierced the four heroes, drenching their backs in cold sweat. There was a moment of eerie silence as the two sides stared at each other, but then the last demon spoke, and his voice immediately revealed his identity.
[Ah, Team Silver Wind, how unexpected.] As if to confirm their guess, the demon-like headgear unfurled to reveal the face behind it. "May I ask what brought you to this room? Were you after my precious collection?"
His voice was calm and unbothered, showing how little he cared about the prospect of facing a team of heroes. Rather than arrogance, each word he spoke carried a spark of confidence; a level of trust that couldn’t easily be shaken.
Klaus Stahlwölfe appeared like an entirely different person inside the mechanized suit, especially with how comfortable he looked wearing it. The scholarly vibes he gave in photos and recordings felt like a false image, adding to the shock of seeing him in such a position.
"No need to feign ignorance." Said Night Gale. "The NVPD has issued a warrant for your arrest, as I’m sure you already know. Turn yourself in and save what little face you still have."
"The NVPD is trying to arrest me?" Klaus raised an eyebrow, looking genuinely confused. "And may I ask for the reason?"
"You can ask that in court." She replied. "Our job is to bring you in and nothing more."
