Chapter 203 Aftereffect
Liam jumped down from the metal beam, the force of his landing sending a short tremor through the debris-strewn factory floor. Lana took a deep breath, thinking it was over. Dimitri was down, the battle looked done. But Liam had other plans.
Without saying a word, he walked into the deep crater he had created with that monstrous punch. Dust and broken stone crackled beneath his feet as he approached the motionless body. Lana’s eyes followed him, confusion etched on her face.
Liam reached into the pit and grabbed Dimitri by the collar, lifting his limp body off the ground with one hand. Dimitri’s arms dangled. One punch had completely disarmed him. Liam glanced at the exposed parts of Dimitri’s body— from beneath his skin, he could see it: pure metal. Dimitri’s entire skeletal system was metallic, reinforced, unnaturally structured. And even now, Liam could see the skin starting to regenerate. The gash on his forehead was slowly stitching itself back together.
Liam’s lips curved into a cold smile. This bastard wasn’t human. Not completely.
He tightened his grip around Dimitri’s neck.
With a choking gasp, Dimitri was jolted out of unconsciousness. His eyes flew open in panic. His legs kicked violently, his fists slamming against Liam’s forearm in a desperate bid to escape. But Liam’s grip didn’t budge.
It was like trying to bend steel.
Dimitri’s face turned red, then purple. And then—
Crack!
A sickening snap echoed across the factory.
Lana gasped slightly as she watched. She stepped forward instinctively, but stopped. Liam wasn’t done yet.
