Chapter 259: Death Of A Ranker (3)
Seizing the moment, Adrian rushed forward. It was the only time he could capture Charles. If he got him, Maria would no longer be able to dodge the questions about her morality.
Adrian wasn’t aware of Charles’s identity, but judging by his strength and how he could command the ghost soldiers, Adrian knew he had to be some higher-up working for Maria.
’But for that, I need to capture him first.’
He grabbed Charles’s head with both hands and brought his knee up, smashing it into Charles’s face. The first blow landed with a sickening crunch, blood spurting from Charles’s nose.
But Adrian didn’t stop there. He kneed Charles again and again, each strike fueled by the need to capture the man and keep him busy till James and John arrived there with the reinforcements.
Since Adrian had called them while rushing towards the hospital, it should only be a matter of time before they arrived. All Adrian had to do was to keep Charles busy so he couldn’t slip away.
Charles’s struggles weakened with each blow, his grip on Adrian’s arm loosening. Finally, with a final, forceful knee to the face, Charles went limp, collapsing to the ground, bloodied and defeated.
Breathing heavily, Adrian stood over him, his body aching and his chest burning with pain. But he had won. He had survived.
Suddenly, Adrian heard the distant sound of sirens blaring, growing louder with each passing second.
The hospital’s parking lot was soon flooded with the flashing lights of the DRA vehicles, and hundreds of hunters poured out, ready for battle. Even Mei, DRA’s one and only S-rank hunter, was there.
’He went all out this time, didn’t he?’ Adrian smiled.
