Back in Lagos, the arrival of Adrian made everybody freeze. Not one of them had sensed him.
Karon reacted, a spike of blood grew from his side and tried to impale Adrian but it shattered before it could touch him.
Karon kicked off the ground, his body blinked over 15 metres away. He reached inside his cloak and grabbed a bone covered in runes.
This was something given to him by his mother, she said it would save his life if he crushed it.
He didn't crush it but he was ready to at any moment. Adrian gave him a dismissive look then looked at Sanchez.
He didn't say anything but his silence made him more terrifying. The vampires behind him felt their bodies freeze.
They had a feeling if they moved they would die and none dared even breathe too loudly. Even Lokna's arrogance was gone.
His hands were shaking but he tried to hide his fear, they were not the only ones though because the agents felt the same.
