Erend watched everything unfold on the large monitor and let out a long sigh. Just as he had expected, this was not going to be a simple matter.
Cody and his team had already left the area in their vehicle, driving away without attempting to pursue the long-haired stranger.
Erend considered that the right decision because they had no idea who they were dealing with. For all they knew, the man possessed powers far beyond their capabilities, and chasing him could have ended with their deaths.
Although the stranger appeared to be at a disadvantage, Erend knew better than to judge an enemy by the opening exchanges of a fight.
Powerful opponents often concealed their true strength until they decided to stop holding back. By the time their enemies realized what they were capable of, it was often too late to escape the consequences of their recklessness. In the worst cases, the only thing left for them to do was accept their deaths.
