Chapter 50: Ultimate Attack!
BAM!
Christopher, Advika, and Sylvia came to an abrupt stop, the massive city gate groaning open before them. Four heavily armored military vehicles, their anti-monster turrets swiveling ominously, rolled out and advanced towards them with a mechanical growl.
Christopher and the sisters watched as the armored vehicles screeched to a halt.
A young, blonde-haired man, his military uniform crisp and pristine, stepped out of the lead vehicle, his gaze cold and calculating. He scanned Christopher and the girls with a deep frown, his expression conveying both suspicion and a hint of arrogance.
"What are you three doing here?!" he demanded, his voice sharp and authoritative, the soldiers standing rigidly behind him, their rifles held at the ready.
"Excuse me, we are technically in the same age, mind your tone!" Christopher replied, his own frown deepening, his tone laced with a subtle defiance.
"Show respect to the Vice Commander!" a soldier barked, his face hard and unyielding.
"Vice Commander? Then why are you guys treating us like we’re some criminals or spies?" Sylvia asked, her voice calm and measured, her eyes observing the soldiers’ stances and the vehicles’ weaponry.
"Hey girl... We got news that the golden organizations are active within the city’s sectors... So we have to be on guard." The Vice Commander turned his attention to Christopher.
"So we have to implement some security measures."
"Hmph!"
