Chapter 056 Blast
Chapter 056
One of the men that Nobu had brought with him frowned as he felt the cold air brush past his neck. He put a hand on his exposed neck and held his gun in his right hand.
They had been provided with the best weapons possible for a job that won't take longer than a night. MP7s with a suppressor.
It was to ensure that they could transport the Black Sky safely without any interference.
They didn't need to worry about the police as they had already been bribed to avoid their transit path.
But what made all of them worried were the vigilantes.
They had interfered in every one of their activities in the past few months and today, they can't take such risks as failing this task was as good as digging their own graves.
As the Japanese man glanced at the container getting carried onto the dock, he suddenly felt another rush of wind.
"Why is it so cold…?"
He muttered and suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a shadow.
'Who's there?'
Wondering that, he stepped around the container to see if there was someone. At that moment, a hand suddenly wrapped around his neck and tried to choke him.
He struggled but before he knew it, he was knocked out.
'Another one down!'
Alex thought as he looked at the Japanese man on the ground. It was the third guy he had knocked out, but it didn't look like he had the time to knock another guy out without anyone finding out.
'They are already lowering the container.'
He thought as he glanced at the container which had landed in front of a Japanese guy who was wearing a suit that looked expensive to his eyes.
He was Nobu, one of the highest ranked members of The Hand and also the one in charge of transporting the Black Sky.
'Will I at least get to see what this Black Sky is now?'
He thought as he focused on the unloading of the container. Nobu shouted something in Japanese and one of his men slowly unlocked the container.
Alex's eyes went wide as he stared in shock at what Black Sky actually was. Not only him, even Matt was shocked as now there was one more heartbeat on the docks.
Yes, the Black Sky was actually…
"A kid."
With long hair and brown skin that was covered in dirt, the 'Black Sky' was wearing a rag. There were chains shackling him and he looked like some sort of prisoner.
'What the hell is Hand doing with a kid?'
He thought as he wondered if he should come out and stop Nobu but there was no signal from Stick like they had planned.
As he was thinking that, Stick was preparing his crossbow, aiming at the heart of the kid, planning to end him before he could achieve his potential.
He took a breath and locked on the Black Sky. Then, he shot his arrow.
The arrow whooshed through the air, but before it could kill the Black Sky, something leaped out from the containers and caught the arrow mid air.
"Shit!" Stick muttered with a frown as he looked at Matt who had the arrow in his hand.
'We are in trouble.'
Alex thought as he witnessed all this.
Without wasting a second, Nobu's men started firing at Matt as he began to fight them. Nobu quickly took the Black Sky with some of his men and moved towards the vans that were already ready to leave.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
He yelled as he put the Black Sky in the back of one of the vans before rushing towards another one.
But before he could run away, someone appeared in front of him. It was Alex.
"I don't think you are allowed to leave. Party just started, you see." He muttered as he smirked at Nobu.
"Don't leave him alive."
Nobu ordered three of his men as he began to run.
One of the men punched Alex but he caught his fist in the air and twisted it. When another guy came at him, he slammed him into the container before punching the third one on his face hard.
He fell to the floor, groaning. It was then that Alex heard the sound of the engine starting. He glanced and saw Nobu running away with the last of the vans containing the Black sky.
"Fuck."
He cursed as he focused the energy inside of him. In just an instant, a big wolf made up of energy leaped at the cars.
It trailed the vans for a while before slamming into the last of them, the car rolling over due to the impact.
Nobu looked at the rolled over car through his window but he didn't order the driver to stop. Although the Black Sky was a rare occurrence, it wasn't something he would risk his life over.
At least not with that big, mystical wolf standing there.
As Nobu ran away, Alex came close to the car. He crouched and looked inside the van but the Japanese men inside were already unconscious.
At that moment, Stick landed next to him with his katana.
"You did good, kid." He looked at Alex before sensing his wolf standing beside him.
Deciding to look into Alex's wolf later, he opened the back door of the van and took out the kid that was bleeding from his head.
"What are you trying to do?" Alex asked, glancing at the katana in his hands.
He had already seen Stick trying to kill the kid once, so he was on guard. Black Sky or not, he would never condone killing a child.
"Finishing off my mission."
"You are not going to harm that kid."
"He's not a kid. He's a weapon. This thing will kill everyone if I don't kill him now." He said, still staring at the kid. "You don't have any idea what you are talking about."
"Try anything and my wolf will rip you to shreds." Alex said as his wolf growled beside him, putting pressure on Stick.
"Look kid, trust me, you will thank me for it."
While saying that, he gripped his katana hard, ready to slash down at him but before he could do that, the kid in his grasp suddenly opened his eyes.
"Oh fuck!"
Stick gulped as he tried to swing his katana but before he knew it, a force suddenly attacked him and Alex. His wolf wrapped itself around Alex and Stick's bodies, trying to protect them.
A big blast of dark energy bloomed at the dock!
