As soon as the fight broke out, the surrounding Enhanced quickly closed in, forming a tight circle around Ethan's group. From farther off, more people turned to watch, curiosity spreading like wildfire.
"Chris, fall back," Ethan finally said, his voice calm again, the fury in his eyes slowly cooling into something colder—controlled, deliberate.
Chris nodded and stepped back behind him without a word.
That single move made Kyle's heart skip a beat.
The Tier 7 Awakened… was taking orders from Ethan?
Tyler's expression darkened. He leaned toward one of his men and whispered urgently, "Go notify the boss. Now."
Ethan started walking toward Kyle, slow and steady.
The surrounding Enhanced immediately stepped in to block his path.
Fwoooosh—
A sudden downpour of flame erupted from above—[Rain of Flames].
The Enhanced in front of Ethan didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ash.
