As soon as they heard the distant rumble, Rax and the others froze. Cold sweat trickled down their spines.
Two Mechas were pursuing them. One was flying above with a menacing hum, the other galloping across the ground with thunderous steps.
"Fuck, how did they find us?" Rax muttered, panic rising in his voice.
Igaris clicked his tongue in annoyance. He should've known these fools couldn't be trusted with matters requiring precision and secrecy. Their carelessness had likely compromised everything.
He could have escaped easily.
But he won't.
Because, he needed them. Their intel, their contacts, their network.
So he stepped forward, placing himself between the Mechas and the trembling group of thugs.
With a blink, the Architect's Eyes activated, scanning the terrain within several kilometers.
And only two Mechs were seen.
If they were official Law Enforcers, surely an entire squadron would have followed. This wasn't standard procedure.
