Chapter 252 Tell Your Boss I Said Hi
The thin man suddenly reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a tiny glass vial. The bottle shimmered slightly, filled with a strange crimson liquid that seemed to glow faintly. Without a word or warning, he uncorked it and downed its contents in one gulp. His throat bobbed as he swallowed, then he gritted his teeth and crushed the bottle in his fist, shards falling to the floor.
Liam narrowed his eyes, watching silently.
Then it began.
The transformation hit the man like a wave of electricity. His eyes were the first to change—shifting into a deep, glowing red that pulsed like coals in a furnace. Veins bulged from his face, stretching unnaturally, and his bones cracked loudly as his body began to grow. Flesh tore and reshaped. Muscles inflated. His spine extended and shifted, his posture hunching as dark, bristled fur exploded across his skin.
His clothes tore apart as his frame expanded far beyond a normal man’s build. Seven feet tall, his arms were thick as tree trunks, ending in massive clawed hands. His face elongated into a snout, fangs gleaming with saliva. He looked down on Liam, red eyes filled with unnatural malice and pride.
A fucking werewolf.
Liam blinked once and then slowly grinned.
He knew Crimson Hand had been quiet—too quiet. Now it made sense. They’d been working on something under the radar, and this... this beast... was proof. His heart began to pound—not from fear, but excitement.
The beast snarled and lunged forward with terrifying speed, claws slashing through the air. He moved fast. His strength was nothing to joke about. The ground cracked under his feet with each step.
But Liam was faster.
With a calm step to the side, he avoided the first swipe by a hair’s breadth, his eyes studying the motion like a scientist watching a test subject. The beast growled and spun again, claws ripping the air. Liam stepped back once more, weaving out of range.
