Chapter 23: Battle Droids Hate Hank!
Blood started flowing from the facial orifices of Hank. His face was covered in blood, sweat, and snot. Even his mutant abilities were fully suppressed by the horrifying pressure.
The armored jacket he was wearing turned into dust.
Carole was shocked by the turn of events. She never expected Kiba to attack Hank, and certainly didn't expect Hank to be this weak.
Carole had witnessed Kiba's powers before when he defeated Jack in a second. But Hank was totally different. He might seem old and fat, but he had the best resources in Delta City. He had undergone multiple experiments to enhance his physical strength, but now it seemed all the money went to waste. In front of Kiba, he was no more than an ant.
Carole knew she had to stop Kiba; otherwise, Hank would die soon.
"Sir Kiba, stop!" Carole said as she used her super-speed to arrive next to Hank. She regretted her actions the next moment.
The pressure which was faced by Hank now started falling on her as well as the surrounding area. She too crashed on the floor with a loud bang sound.
"Who do you think you are to order me around?" Kiba coldly asked as he stepped in front of Carole. The conference table dissipated into dust while cracks started appearing on the floor.
Dust, smoke, and pieces of tiles stirred up the air, making even breathing difficult.
"I-I didn't mean to order you," Carole said with great difficulty.
Kiba's expression remained the same.
Carole never expected a womanizer like him to have such a side. He had always been cheerful when he conversed with her, but now his expression was so terrifying that it sent a chill down her spine.
"You think you can speak in such a tone just because you have a cunt?" Kiba coldly asked.
Carole felt her inner organs facing unbearable pressure. She coughed up a mouthful of blood.
BANG!
The conference room door was blasted by the battle droids.
Earlier, the electromagnetic sensors broke down from the pressure released by Kiba, and the loss of signal activated the fighting droids.
The droids were in the form of humanoid robots, carrying powerful laser guns capable of killing mutants.
Five of them aimed at Kiba and pulled the triggers.
With the sound of air ripped apart, laser beams rushed at Kiba, making the room fluctuate with a blinding glow.
Just before the laser beams could pierce him, Kiba grabbed Hank by the collar and placed him in front.
Everything happened too fast! All the droids noticed was a series of blur motions and then heard painful screams.
"Aahhhhh!"
Hank screamed.
Four beams penetrated through his arms and legs, severing them. The final beam created a large hole in his stomach.
Blood and gore splashed out of his body and fell on the floor. Kiba dropped the collar, and Hank collapsed on the gore, screaming pitifully.
"Your battle droids are really powerful!" Kiba exclaimed.
The battle droids didn't dare use laser attacks any longer. They never thought Kiba would use Hank as a human shield.
"Sir... sir Kiba. Please stop," Carole's faint voice came from behind.
The pressure had destroyed her clothes, exposing her naked flesh. She was a breathtaking beauty, but currently, her body was covered with bloodstains.
Kiba turned towards her, but there was no sign of lust in his eyes.
"I- I apologize for Sir Hank's words... please stop. You should know the position he holds in the city. If you kill him..." Carole said, her voice getting fainter with every word.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Kiba asked.
"N-no, sir. I have... no grudge against you. Please, sto.."
Carole used up all her energy before she could conclude her words. She had a hard time breathing, much less speak now. If this continued, she would die in no time.
Kiba noticed her condition and retracted the pressure. He was finally able to control his anger.
Carole greedily sucked in the air while sighing in relief.
"Thank you, sir," Carole said as she tried to rise to her feet.
"I guess I went overboard in my anger," Kiba said with a sigh. The word 'bastard' triggered memories of how he was abandoned at his birth. It reminded him of a person who used to call him an 'unwanted bastard'.
At the same time, the droids noticed Kiba getting distracted. So they once again launched a series of laser attacks on him while speeding forward.
"You guys truly hate Hank!"
Kiba exclaimed as he disappeared from his place. In the same place, the limbless body of Hank appeared.
"Noooo!" Hank cried.
If the laser attacks landed on him again, his death was a definite outcome!
Swooosh~
Just then, an energy shield burst out from the entrance. It rolled through the air and arrived in front of Hank.
SCREECH
The laser beams crashed on the shield. Sparks flew out, and the destructive light surged back before fading away.
Even though Hank wasn't harmed, he collapsed on the floor. The shield then rotated and swept through the incoming droids like a chakra, tearing them apart.
Everything occurred in the blink of an eye!
"Oh?" Kiba was surprised. He turned towards the entrance.
A woman in white was standing with a cold expression. She was wearing glasses, and next to her, there were two men in black.
"Well~ Who might you be?" Kiba asked playfully as he checked out the woman's body.
"Hank didn't tell you about me? I was supposed to have a meeting with you," The woman coldly answered.
"Not really. If he told me a babe like you was arriving... I would have protected him from his crazy battle droids."
Even as he said this, the wall behind him exploded, and through the flying debris, two battle droids charged out.
One of them punched at Kiba's back, distorting the air with an overbearing force. The other fired multiple beams at his head.
Kiba didn't even turn around, keeping his eyes on the woman. Like tidal waves, pressure surged out of him.
RUMBLE~
The punching droid smashed down, turning into pitiful wreckage. Similarly, the pressure turned the air turbulent and heavy, forcing the beams to bend and collapse around him.
CRASH
The second droid crashed down as well!
Kiba then repeated his words again...
