Chapter 48: Maximilian VS. Photon Fury - 02
On the street leading toward the city outskirts, Strauss was racing through in his armored car, with Oldcowboy sitting in the passenger seat beside him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down a bit... They’ve already landed. You don’t need to be this nervous!" Oldcowboy said, his hand clutching the seat, trying to stabilize himself.
"That’s exactly why I’m in a hurry, Mr. Blackwood! That idiot didn’t even know who that new villain was or what his EF abilities were, and she immediately rushed to fight him! No! That guy might not even be a villain in the first place!" Strauss ranted the moment Oldcowboy said to him.
The current situation could only be described as a complete mess.
Fifteen minutes earlier, while Strauss was investigating clues about alien technology, his search had led him to The Fringe. The Fringe was chaotic; the moment they arrived, a large fire had already broken out, burning several buildings.
Then, an explosion rocked the outskirts of The Fringe. Strauss, Oldcowboy, and Photon Fury immediately rushed toward the source.
When they arrived, they saw a man in black armor—who looked like a villain—crouching near a muscular man whose arms and legs had been severed. Without fully understanding the situation, Photon Fury tackled the man in black, lifting him into the sky.
To make matters worse, the muscular man appeared to be a mutant. Why was a mutant even here in The Fringe? Had the black-armored man been fighting the mutant, causing all the chaos? That was also a possibility.
Strauss quickly called for reinforcements to take custody of the mutant. At the same time, he and Oldcowboy raced toward the city outskirts to catch up with Photon Fury and the black-armored man.
