Chapter 86: Fear
In truth, Kaizer was truly alarmed. He had not predicted that their enemies would strike so soon, not because he did not think they had the audacity, but because he did not think they would even be able to find them.
Their combat suits had anti-detection and anti-radar tech, so satellites and cameras could not pick up their traces. They dropped from the air at crazy speed during the cloudy night, Kaizer controlling their descent to be as inconspicuous as possible.
He even used Telekinesis to lift them all off the ground and zip around the city silently until they randomly chose this house, then fortified it to be a safehouse. He was 99% certain that their enemies would not be able to find them here, so he slept soundly.
However, before going to bed, he placed a psychic barrier around the women in the room not for protection, but to make sure that they did not wake up in the middle of the night and creep into his bedroll to try and tempt him.
He did this because the thought briefly passed through Maria’s mind, and she tried to hide it, but Kaizer still heard it. Thinking that Rina might also try that, he put the strongest psychic barrier around his sister and relatively strong ones around the others.
Who knew?
Who knew that his casual action brought about by the playful thoughts of his companions would end up being the thing that saved their group? Given how they were all sleeping like dead logs, if this skilled assassin had taken out Julia, he could have killed the others quietly assuming there was no barrier around them.
Kaizer was truly frightened this time.
In truth, Malek had given Kaizer too much credit. The flashy tag of ’Overlord’ along with S-class esper and the future strongest made him seem like a young genius here to gain experience in a low-level battle zone, where everyone within was in his grasp.
