Chapter 28: Mission Target
In an abandoned warehouse a few kilometers away from Summit Hill University, where the tragedy was ongoing...
Blergh!
Lyle coughed out a mouthful of blood as he used his uninjured left arm to push himself up, cringing with pain as his practically destroyed right arm's broken bones rubbed against each other. By the time he was seated upright, he was sweating profusely from the pain, and it was a miracle he did not scream the entire time.
Lyle took in the situation, and the pain from his arm seemed to lessen as he saw the grim situation.
Barnes was pressed underneath a giant metal beam that had detached from the roof, a small crater surrounding where he lay, partially filled with blood. The man himself had been knocked out of his power form and returned to his fat body, which was looking quite saggy.
On the other side, Leo was lying in a pool of blood, face first, all of the blood coming from his forehead, which had been cracked. It was unknown whether the man was alive, and Lyle doubted that anyone could survive that... or even if they might want to.
Even if Leo lived through this, there was no doubt he would suffer some form of brain damage.
"Fuck..." Lyle could only mutter, venting his pain and fear about the previous situation weakly.
Lyle seemed to understand what happened. Carla had preyed on this boy, not knowing that he was an esper, and after killing her, he made up a story with the officials to lure them out of hiding. They had already researched Kaizer's background and knew that he was the son of that recently famous tech giant, so Lyle did not believe that the officials of this city were unaware.
