"Huh?" Kong immediately sensed something was off. He yanked his hand back and clenched the Radiant Crystal tightly in his palm again.
That zombie dog—he'd brought it along when searching for the Radiant Crystal because its nose was sharp enough to sniff out parasite mimics. If it was reacting now, something was definitely wrong.
"Don't tell me… a parasite monster followed us here?" Kong narrowed his eyes, suspicion flashing through them, his whole presence suddenly radiating a dangerous, killing intent.
Next to him, Chompers' sycophantic grin froze on his face. The realization hit him like a slap—this guy wasn't the boss? Then all that groveling he just did… he'd laid it on way too thick.
He had to kill him. No witnesses.
Just then, Nightbane spoke up. "What's wrong? Hurry up and give me the Radiant Crystal!"
"You still want the Radiant Crystal? Here's what I've got for you—a punch!" Kong roared, his voice like thunder. He swung his massive fist straight at Nightbane.
