Dr. Hayes watched the three people steadily approaching. The smile on his face slowly vanished, replaced by a trace of solemnity. But it was only for a moment. Very quickly, he began to laugh again.
"You're actually not dead. I suppose I underestimated you!" he mocked. "But what do you hope to achieve by coming to find me? Ah, I know! You're delivering yourselves right to my doorstep. Or did you really think just the three of you could pose a threat to me?"
Sierra Sullivan watched Dr. Hayes quietly. Despite his endless stream of arrogant words, his bluster only exposed his underlying cowardice. She felt that saying even a single word to a man like him was a waste of breath. Without making a sound, she launched an attack.
This caught Dr. Hayes completely off guard. His previous composure vanished entirely, leaving only terror. Panicking, he ducked behind the Superpower Users beside him, not even daring to poke his head out as he incessantly urged them on.
