บท 988: On the Run

Richard's expression remained grim as he ran beside Erik. He didn't like that Emily was in New Alexandria at all.

That also created an awkward tension between the two, who remained silent for a while.

As that silence stretched out, they kept sprinting through New Alexandria's streets and alleys.

Apparently, the blackguards didn't find them yet. But it was just a matter of time given they were using flying cars, and they were bound to spot them from above sooner or later.

Erik, in truth, had an easy way to get out of this predicament. He could simply turn into a fly after having absorbed Volkov's brain crystal and DNA.

The problem was that Richard couldn't. Erik was scared, and sure, of course, that if he left the man alone, he would be captured again.

Richard was strong and for sure knew how to fight, but he could not fight against five blackguards at the same time, even less if they were more, and that was likely to happen if they found him.
