“Mm? Two more people?” Hearing Charles’ words, David immediately understood that the person from earlier must have found some help and returned to attack again. And based on Charles’ description, it seemed to be an awakened superpower wielder.
This made David shake his head in disbelief. He never expected this Rat Clan member to be so persistent, hovering around them like a fly.
“Don’t worry, our team is composed entirely of esper individuals. What is there to fear?” David patted Charles’ shoulder reassuringly.
When the Embers squad joined forces, they could even take down a Titan zombie, let alone awakened esper individuals. For an awakened individual to surpass the power of a Titan zombie, their level of awakening must be above Level 7. However, in this world after so many years, besides himself being Level 7, David had never encountered anyone above Level 7. He knew that this world was incredibly stringent when it came to the advancement of superpowers. It not only required great opportunities but also a large supply of crystals. Without either of these, a successful advancement was impossible.
Therefore, David didn’t pay much attention to these individuals. He stood in the middle of the underground parking garage, waiting for their arrival. Charles silently stood beside David, observing the scene.
Suddenly, a piercing friction sound resounded in the underground parking garage. David furrowed his brows, staring intently in the direction ahead, his face displaying a hint of confusion. At the same time, two figures flashed at the entrance of the underground parking garage.
“What a nice place this is! Cold and deep, perfect for our Rat Clan to dwell.” Suddenly, an extremely sinister voice emerged from the darkness, followed by a man dressed in a black robe slowly walking out. Behind him were a young woman and seven to eight burly men, with Dirk among them.
“That’s the guy!” Dirk quickly stepped forward and pointed at David, saying to Gary, “boss, that’s him!” Anger filled his voice, as if he couldn’t wait to rush forward and teach David a lesson.
Following Dirk’s finger, Gary slowly raised his head to look at David. In his narrow eyes, a chilling light flashed, giving people goosebumps.
Feeling Gary’s icy gaze, David felt goosebumps rise on his body as he imagined a snake crawling on his skin. Both from Gary’s gaze and the aura emanating from him, David felt like he was facing a cold-blooded snake lurking in the darkness.
“Could his awakened ability be related to snakes?” A doubt arose in David’s mind. However, at the same time, he lifted his head without hesitation and met Gary’s gaze.
Upon seeing this, the scales on Gary’s body rubbed against each other more intensely. The sound echoed in the enclosed underground parking garage. Upon hearing the sound, Arnold, Duke, Sally, and Sophie immediately walked out from the base. When they saw the sudden appearance of a man exuding a chilling aura, they became cautious.
They also noticed the seriousness on David’s face and quickly understood the situation, walking to his side. David and Arnold stood in the front, while Charles, Duke, Sally, and Sophie stood behind them.
The positioning of the team in combat was previously requested by David. This way, the mages in the team could be tightly protected, helping them create distance for their attacks and ensuring their personal safety. Everyone looked at the sinister man in front of them with caution, assuming a ready-for-battle posture.
As Gary saw the sudden addition of several people, a faint smile appeared on his face. He was already a Level 6 esper and had rarely encountered opponents stronger than him in regular battles. Although he knew that the people in front of him were also awakened espers, he didn’t pay much attention to them.
At this moment, Gary lifted his hand slightly, and from the wide sleeves of his robe, a small snake with peculiar patterns emerged. The snake wrapped around his arm and slowly crawled up, finally coiling on his shoulder, its crimson tongue flickering as it stared at the group.
Seeing this snake, David confirmed his speculation that this person had indeed awakened a snake-based ability. Moreover, he could also raise snakes, indicating that his level couldn’t be too low. David focused his gaze on him, carefully sensing the level emanating from him.
“A Level 6 esper?” Soon, David sensed his level.
At the same time, Gary slowly spoke, “Did you kill my subordinates? As the saying goes, you should ask for my permission first. I’m here today to settle this matter. So, tell me, what do you want to do? I advise you to be sensible, or else it won’t show any mercy when it gets angry.”
As he spoke, Gary glanced at the snake coiled on his shoulder and revealed a faint smile. The snake seemed to possess a spiritual connection, emanating a strong aura. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
David naturally understood the implied meaning of his words. He smiled faintly and said, “What’s this? Your son got beaten up and came crying to daddy? I spared your dog’s life earlier, but it seems you can’t understand human language.” With that, David turned his head to look at Dirk beside him, his eyes full of amusement.
With his boss by his side, Dirk no longer appeared as timid as before. Proudly raising his head, he fearlessly looked at David and said, “Do you really think you’re so great? With my boss here, you’re nothing but rubbish! While my boss isn’t angry yet, hand over all the supplies on you obediently. Otherwise, you’ll regret it when my boss gets mad!”
Dirk had a smug expression on his face, looking at David. Then, as if he remembered something, he quickly added, “Let me tell you, my boss is fierce! Hand over the heavy machine gun and AK you had earlier, or else! ” As he spoke, Dirk’s eyes kept glancing at the modified war vehicles, revealing the same envy as Brad before.
Hearing Dirk’s arrogant words, David laughed again. Today, he truly witnessed what it meant to be a lapdog, boldly confronting him with a Level 6 big brother. Did he really think a Level 7 esper like himself was nothing?
Arnold behind him couldn’t contain his anger at these words. Without further ado, he transformed into his werewolf form.
Gary, upon seeing this, once again emanated a sinister gaze from his narrowed eyes, followed by a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
