Lucian's POV
*****
"I can't believe Beta Axel left us here to go be with that Omega."
"He was wounded, Rakim. He probably went to receive treatment."
"Yeah, right. Didn't you see the look the two of them gave each other before leaving? He—"
"Two of you shut up or bring in your badges so you can have all the freedom to gossip." Lucian couldn't take it anymore and snapped, glaring at the two soldiers who were talking beside him at the site of the assassin attack.
The two soldiers stiffened, bowing apologetically in front of Lucian before they went to the other side below the floating platform.
The area, including the crystalline dome restaurant close to it, which had taken damage, had been closed off to civilians.
Lucian only came here after his sister gave him a tip that Elian and Axel were on a date... The last thing he expected was to see the aftermath of an attempted assassination.
