Chapter 651
All of my perception around the city focuses solely on the scouts that seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Some of them touch down in random areas of the city while others fly far away to the other side of the massive mountaintop to other districts.
There are even some nearby that fly to the top of tall towers, but the only three guards I focus on are the ones coming straight my way.
A faint noise emanates from the orange core, and I channel all of my perception toward him as he flies.
The image of him holding a silver transmission device in his right hand is clear, and his voice rings out in a steady, monotone manner.
"Yes, Redgrave, I'm checking in on the unidentified subject now. Based on the recordings, he appears to be an intruder from outside of central. But there is no ID coming back on our facial recognition. I'll be arriving in a few seconds."
There's a click, and a familiar angry voice responds.
"It doesn't matter. Your focus should be elsewhere. Kill the intruder and anyone he is with. Don't spend a moment more on it. If they're from outside, then good riddance; if they're a rogue that got rid of their tracker to make a statement, then kill him and make an example of it. Destroy the bodies and leave no witnesses. No loose ends."
There's another click, and the orange core puts the tablet away.
