章 101: The plan

'Hmmm?'

The moment Alex launched himself 100 metres in the air, he created quite a disturbance in his surroundings, creating a dull boom and sending soundwaves across the nearby landscape.

His movements didn't go unnoticed, as just over 3 kilometres away, a man dressed in all black, with a hood covering his face, shifted his gaze to the source of the sound.

He sat on top of one of the many towering trees of this jungle, and he could see the faint figure of Alex rapidly rising through the air before he came to a stop, and started falling back down again immediately after.

'Found you!'

Immediately after he spotted Alex, he jumped from tree to tree, with no sounds at all reverberating from each of his landings.

Even though Alex only spent half a second at most suspended 100 metres in the air, with his incredibly high thinking speed, it was like minutes passed in the air before he started descending.
