Chapter 283 - THE NEW PRESIDENT
"So, your white robot is indeed useful, Kevin?" Derek arrogantly questioned him when the young scientist just arrived in the room. "But I will still destroy the city, Kevin. The five rockets are enough to destroy the whole Serein city, and since it's the capital city of Calenta, I'm sure that Calenta will be facing a difficult time afterward. At that time, I will take over the country as the new president."
Kevin's breath was still raging because he had been running while using his powers, but he knew that he needed to do something now if he wanted to save the city and the people. He was exhausted, and he wouldn't be able to use his ice powers anymore.
The three villains were just normal humans, but Kevin couldn't get the upper hand because he had drained his energy.
All he could do now was fight the three men without his powers. He started walking toward the three men, who were standing together. And suddenly, Jaden Dunn fished out something from his pocket. It turned out to be a gun, and he immediately shot a gun in Kevin's direction.
Kevin didn't have time to dodge, and the bullet directly pierced his left shoulder. Jaden didn't stop there and continued shooting his gun, but Kevin managed to dodge the bullets this time.
Even so, his left shoulder was so painful now, and it more or less affected his speed. He just realized that Jaden Dunn didn't use a regular bullet to attack him. It was a special bullet that was designed to subdue the werewolf.
Kevin finally fell on his knees as he felt unbearable pain in his shoulder.
"Those bastards from Primea are indeed capable of making weapons. They could even create a weapon to subdue a werewolf monster."
Kevin's head became dizzy, and he felt like the powers inside his body was getting weaker, until finally, his body returned to his human form. He was not bleeding a lot, but he knew that the bullet piercing on his left shoulder could weaken his powers.
Perhaps the effect was just temporary, but he didn't have much time left.
"You are right, Kevin. There are only ten seconds left now. Let's count down together to welcome the destruction of Calenta."
Kevin could only grip his wounded shoulder and couldn't say anything. His body was getting weaker, and he felt like collapsing.
Was it the end of Calenta?
"10, 9, 8..." Derek started counting down as he ignored Kevin's gloomy expression.
Was it no use for Kevin to fight up to this point?
"7, 6, 5..."
He couldn't even save the innocent people in the city?
"4, 3, 2..."
It was the end.
"1..."
Derek Dawson had stopped counting, but there was no sound of a rocket being launched even though the evil man had finished counting.
Derek, Felix, and Jaden immediately turned to the monitor to see what happened with the rockets, but instead of getting the view of the rocket, they found a werewolf robot waving its hands at them.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Derek exclaimed angrily as he used his hand to slam the monitor. The monitor was broken, and he no longer saw the view of the white robot that provoked his anger.
"Which one of you dared to hurt my boyfriend?"
The three men were still shocked, but then they heard another voice coming from behind. They turned around to see Kris glared at them angrily. In his two hands were strong lightning that was ready to strike them anytime.
Kris wasn't the only one who just arrived at the control room, but Jack was there as well. The black-furred werewolf was currently supporting Kevin's body on the floor.
Hearing his fiance's voice, Kevin raised his head at him. "What about the rockets, Kris?" He questioned his fiance weakly.
Kris turned to him and flashed him a reassuring smile. "Our son managed to do something to stop the launching of the rockets, so the city was safe now. You don't have to worry."
"AZURE?" Kevin asked again. "How did he manage to stop the launching of the rockets?"
Kris didn't immediately answer because he chose to turn to the three cunning men again. "It turns out the controller is on the roof, Kev. AZURE knew how to abort the command and managed to save the city."
Kevin was shocked, but he was relieved because the city and the people were safe again.
"Now can you tell me who was the one who hurt you, Kev? I'll strike him with my lightning right away."
It seemed that Kris was so eager to give some lessons to the person who had hurt his fiance. However, the said fiance immediately turned ahead again and stared gloomily at one of the men.
"Put away your lightning first, Kris. There's something I want to talk to with Mr. Dawson."
Kevin just voiced out his thought, and it caused Kris to frown at him. "What do you want to talk to with that evil, Kev? He had betrayed your trust, and he deserves to be struck by my lightning."
His fiance was stubborn as usual, and Kevin could only sigh. "Please, Kris. Don't you know that my body is already so weak now?"
Kris noticed that Kevin was indeed vulnerable now, but he trusted Jack to take care of Kevin instead. Even if Jack's body got bigger, but his powers were still inferior compared to Kris's. That was why he was the one who got ready to strike the three criminals.
Kevin had pleaded with him, and he finally gave in as he put away the lightning in his hand. His fiance needed treatment soon, but he seemed to be wanting to talk to the cunning man. He'd better not hold back his fiance so that his fiance could be treated soon.
Kris finally relented, and Kevin could focus on Derek Dawson again.
"Mr. Dawson, don't you want to meet your daughter before you die?"
