Chen Mu ran as fast as he could. However, his speed was still lagging compared to the superhumans chasing him.
The relentless pursuit of Dong Shin's superhuman subordinates left him no room to breathe, and no time to think.
He cursed under his breath, wondering how everything had gone so horribly wrong.
Just hours ago, he had been in negotiations with the Aurora Base's leader, a meeting that seemed straightforward—until it wasn't.
The Aurora Base's leader had been polite, even amicable, at first.
But when Chen Mu introduced himself, he noticed the man's expression shift—a fleeting look of recognition and something darker: suspicion.
Yet, the leader had masked it well, asking Chen Mu to wait while he attended to "urgent matters."
What could have been more urgent than their deal? Chen Mu should have known better.
But trusting his instincts had failed him before, and he'd obliged, waiting in the small, dimly lit room.
