A few moments ago, while everyone was searching for Lily, a cloaked figure moved silently through the shadows, carefully searching for his mother and Lily.
With his stepfather and Alpha involved now, Aether couldn't afford to act recklessly.
All he could do was remain hidden, observe the situation, and wait for an opportunity to move without drawing their attention.
After all, unlike the other mech-suits, these two could locate him with ease. If he moved too quickly or exposed himself, they would immediately target him, and everything he had worked for would fall apart.
He carefully peered around the corners of the shadows, watching armed men move through the narrow streets in organised groups. Their weapons remained ready as they searched the surrounding area, their footsteps echoing between the old buildings.
Aether's eyes moved constantly, scanning the houses, abandoned factories, and even the drainage systems that could provide a place to hide.
