The entire car was totaled, the guard and driver up front were charred.
'I need to get out of here first,'
I clicked my tongue in annoyance, grabbing Amanda and hauling her out of the destroyed car.
Out of the corner of my eye. A group of red monkeys, each the size of an adult human, were cackling like maniacs, hurling fireballs across the asphalt.
This wasn't an assassination but a full-blown monster outbreak.
Or was it?
Either way, I needed to get out of here—fast.
SWOOOSH!
My legs throbbed as I infused them with Qi, each pulse making me faster, lighter. I used the panicked crowd as cover, slipping through narrow alleys and backstreets.
Yeah, I could wreck them. But why prove I'm powerful when there was no need to.
Besides, this was the outer district—Seekers would be moving in soon enough to handle things. No need for me to make a scene just yet.
