Inside the hover car. The three people watching the hologram were silent. The atmosphere was solemn, and so were everyone's expressions. Especially Sufi. She was very disgusted by William and his so-called brother.
Cobert's eyes were subtle, but his heart was as calm as ever. He has seen a lot of darkness in this world since his childhood. William's cruel means were nothing compared to what he had seen before.
Luis wasn't surprised either. He knew after analyzing William's personality that he could very well do something like this. However, what surprised him was the existence of this criminal brother.
{What's going on Lily?}
{Master! Karlos was declared dead in the records of the Aiverson Empire. It seems like the people behind him did a good job of faking his death.}
Luis knit his brows and asked what he was concerned about. {What organization is he in?}
{I have to look into it, Master. Until now, he has been doing criminal activities under that falcon mask. In his records, there's no mention of any organization is connected to.}
Luis was thoughtful momentarily, as the driver's voice woke him up.
"We are here... The warehouse you mentioned should be." The driver pointed in his right direction, then showed a look of confusion. "Huh...? Where is the warehouse?"
He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, customers. It seems I took you to the wrong place. Even though you were in a hurry."
In his years of working in the academy city. This was one of the most shameful moments for him. He couldn't comprehend how a veteran driver like him could lose his way. That too in a city he has been working for half of his life.
Luis raised his hand to stop him from further speaking. "No, you brought us to the right place. Thank you."
After leaving those words, he got out of the hover car and so did Cobert and Sufi. The driver seemed a little relieved as he left the place.
Luis, with his 'Perception', and Cobert were the only ones who were able to see through the low-grade anti-reconnaissance array. Sufi, like the driver earlier, was looking around in confusion.
"Miss Sufi, stay close to Cobert and assist him when he deals with the enemies."
Sufi nodded. Although she wanted to wait for Olivia, she knew it would be too late for Bonnie if they didn't act right now.
{Master! William and Karlos left the cabin! They used stairs to go to the underground floors.}
{Keep monitoring them and if there's an emergency, use the button drones to stall for time!}
{Yes, Master!}
Luis turned back to Cobert and Sufi.
"We have to hurry!"
"Everyone! Stay close! They want to affect our vision and separate us! Don't let them succeed!"
After hearing this, they all reacted and stood with their backs facing each other.
Luis, who was watching everything through perception, was a little surprised. However, he didn't care.
"Cobert, Miss Sufi, you guys deal with them first! I'll go after William and his brother."
After seeing the two of them nod, Luis left. Unaffected by the vision blocking of the mist.
Cobert's listless eyes stared at his back for a few seconds, then he turned to Sufi.
"Let's go, Miss Sufi."
"Should I start with a bang?"
"As you deem fit," Cobert said with a weary sigh.
***
The criminals who were sticking together. Didn't notice that hidden under the mist. A figure had already gone past them towards the underground stairs without getting detected.
"Come out! Don't think these tricks will affect us!"
A criminal shouted, but even after waiting for a few seconds, no attack came.
He whispered to another criminal. "At my signal, blow all the surrounding mist using your wind element. Is that clear?"
Another criminal said in a hushed voice. "Clear!"
"Okay, everyone ready... Now!"
At his command, the criminal with the wind affinity was about to use his spell. However, they noticed all noticed orange light inside the mist.
They felt a little strange, however, when they felt the sudden heat increase. Their faces changed.
"Oh, no! Dodge!"
The reminder was too late as the mist dispersed and in front of them was a giant fireball about the size of 5 meters.
*Kaboom! *
