Chapter 74: In the Bag

John peered inside the power plant through a window and saw more men, keeping his engineers captive. John exhaled, relieved that they were still alive. Now he could focus on taking back the power plant.

Like a phantom, he rushed behind a group of four men with lightning-speed. His footsteps silent, he stopped and his shadow claw emerged from his left side and slashed a man's throat. He then plunged his Venomlash into the back of the second man's head, killing him instantly.

"What the hell?!" One of the remaining men cried out.

"He's behind us!" Another one shouted.

John grinned and attacked again, this time, using his Shadow Claws to slice their limbs. The men screamed in pain, their voices muffled by the river's rushing waters.

"Kill him!" one of the men screamed.

The others scrambled to their feet, their movements uncoordinated and panicked.

"Fuck, he's too fast," one of them shouted, frantically looking around.
