章 177: Shadows in Power

Chapter: Shadows in Power

The air in the Central Vista was thick with anticipation as George, clad in his sharp black suit, stood opposite Ranger Logan.

The tension between them seemed to hang like an unspoken challenge, but George's expression softened as he took the detection device from the scientist's outstretched hands.

The device gleamed under the bright fluorescent lights, its polished white surface reflecting the pristine sterility of the lab.

It was a compact, square-shaped object with a glossy screen embedded in its center.

At the top, a sleek, silver-polished antenna extended slightly, almost as if reaching for the very air it would soon disrupt.

George turned the device over in his hands, inspecting it with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

His sharp gaze flickered to Logan, and for the first time since their meeting, a faint smile touched his lips.
