Chapter 52: Puppet (6)
Silence settled over the smoke-choked underground parking garage.
The blue-glowing blade vanished from my hand, and I exhaled deeply, the weight of fatigue catching up with me.
The battle against the man's puppet army was over, but the strange call still lingered in the back of my mind.
Those blue eyes that had stared at me from the dark—and that voice, dripping with arrogance—they wouldn't leave my thoughts.
Whoever that was, they were clearly connected to MK Corporation.
And they spoke like they knew me.
"Everywhere and nowhere..."
I mulled over their words as I contacted Blake through the AR interface.
"You can come down now. It’s over."
A few moments later, I heard cautious footsteps approaching the entrance.
Blake emerged, gun raised, eyes scanning the scene with suspicion.
The moment he saw the carnage inside the garage, the color drained from his face.
