The Geared Immortal

Chapter 382 - 382

Mutant Brawl Part 2

/*unedited*/

Slick is a mutant with the ability to teleport himself or a group as long as they are touching him. It is a cool and very convenient way to travel, but the condition is that he should have already visited the place where he is intending to travel to.

However, this skill of his is not as perfect as it looks. This is because a slight interference or distraction with his concentration would break the process of teleportation. So he has trained himself to be oblivious to any distractions which would affect his concentration. Plus he discovered that once he begins, his figure will blur and will become ethereal. So no physical object can actually hurt him or those with him.

So he is confident that he is able to escape the restaurant with ease.

However, he experiences something weird for the first time and wasn't able to react immediately. He didn't expect that his concentration would be distracted by something, hence breaking the teleportation process.

Slick curses out loud as he looks at his companions in shame.

"Sorry, something is distracting my mind. Let me try again," he said with his expression changing from his usual sinister smile into a sheepish grin.

"Stop, it's useless… with that little loli, we can't escape this place with your teleportation." Captain James said.

He and his team immediately move to the front of Shin Jiao's group to protect them from the slowly approaching crowd of people.

Shin Jiao can now see the many mutants slowly approaching their group while wielding and activating their powers in the process to ready themselves for a fight.

"Shit, this is going to be troublesome," Owl said as an aura suddenly envelops her body.

Shin Jiao can feel the strong spiritual fluctuation which seems like Qi but a bit different.

Owl was born and grew up in one of the many reservation communities for the Native American Indians in the US. She was taught by her grandfather the ways of their tribe and has attained an understanding of their culture.

In her teens, she discovers that she is able to absorb the energy of nature and make her stronger. She can summon spirit beasts to attack or defend herself from others. She can manipulate plants to grow and restrain her enemies or make them grow and produce spiritual healing fruits.

Hence, she becomes one of the strongest supports in the Special Operations bureau after she was discovered by Captain James Crugger.

"Let me protect you then, little lady." Besides her, the big guy Dozer said with a smile.

Dozer is just a normal soldier who is hiding his ability a few years ago. However, a few years back while on one of their routine patrol in a chaotic war-torn Islamic city, his team encountered an ambush. He didn't have a choice but to show his powers to save his companions.

His brute strength and rubber-like skin which is almost impenetrable by any bullets saved his team that day.

And so he was drafted to the Special Operations Bureau by his superiors and ended up being under Captain Crugger.

"With my team here, no one can hurt you guys, so no worries… but we need to get out of this place." Captain James said while patting Shin Jiao's shoulder.

Shin Jiao nods his head towards the confident-looking man. But he didn't just stay still as he already secretly took some of the spoons and forks on the table.

"Haha… Captain Crugger… your reputation precedes you as a formidable soldier. However, since I am here, I would advise your team to stand down and not cause any trouble for us. Just let us take those people behind you and everything will be okay." said the loli with a red dress.

"Maybelline Garin, it seems that you have not grown even after many years. Do you still hunger for blood?" Captain James Crugger said with a smirk on his face.

Suddenly on the side, Slick approached Susan Tang and said in a low voice.

"You should call your hidden guard. It would be hard for us to deal with these scums."

When Susan Tang heard this, her expression suddenly changes but return to normal almost immediately. Slick didn't notice this and just waited for her reply on the side while looking at the group surrounding them.

Susan Tang's mind is immediately churning into overdrive as she analyzes the situation at hand.

"It would seem that they didn't know that Shin Jiao is that guy who is saving us and thought that he is our security detail. If so, then are they trying to flush him out with this ruse?" she thought.

But no matter how hard she analyzes, she could not find any connection yet, so she decided to just wait and see and trust in her man.

She turned her gaze towards Slick and shrugged her shoulder.

"We don't know who that person is. He would just appear and disappear all of a sudden without any warning." She said.

Hearing her words, Slick showed an annoyed expression that didn't escape Shin Jiao's absolute sense as Slick is under his range.

"Hmm… everything looks fishy." Shin Jiao thought as he extended both of his hands and held Susan Tang and Shi Anne Li.

"Captain, you can just take care of the situation here. We will leave first." Shin Jiao said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Shin Jiao's decision, Captain James nods his head in agreement.

"Dozer, go with them." He commanded.

"Yes, captain."

As Shin Jiao's group ran out of the restaurant, some of the mutants who saw this immediately made their move. However, this didn't escape Captain James Crugger's eye. He suddenly waves his hand and pointed his index finger towards the first person who made his move.

"Bang!" Captain James muttered with a smile.

His hand suddenly glows and an energy projectile was released at the point of his finger and flew towards that mutant.

The man immediately fell to the ground with a hole on his forehead and died.

"Damn it! Attack! Everyone, attack now!" shouted the fat man wearing a tight suit.

The fat man is called Boomer. He is an operative from the French government and also a member of a Mafia gang. He has the ability to create sticky bombs from his hands, which he can freely throw to his opponents. Plus his whole body is like a huge explosion which makes him a very dangerous person if angered.

Seeing the mutants making their moves, Captain James, Owl, and Slick also began to attack.

Slick began dancing and attacking the other mutants around them. His speed and agile movements along with his teleportation power made him almost undefeatable as one mutant after another fell on his every move.

Meanwhile, Owl just casually stood on her place while large wolves are pouncing towards her targets.

After a while, the rest of the mutants who witnessed the strength of the three members of the Omega Squad slowly back away from the fight.

They now know why the American team is considered as one of the strongest mutant group.

"Hihi, this is truly amusing. It seems that your men are incompetent comrade Boomer." Maybelline Garin said with a smirk on her face.

"Shut up you loli vampire… Do not insult our strength, Bloodrain. I am still here and I am sure that I can bring this whole place down if I wanted to." Boomer shouted in anger at the little girl who insulted him.

Maybelline Garin or Bloodrain didn't bother with the fat man and just walked forward with the two people wearing a black and white striped prison cloth in tow.

"I still have an appointment with that person called Doctor Jiao and the princess. I would like to play but I'm a bit busy, so I would let my minions play with the three of you okay?" Bloodrain said as she suddenly disintegrated through the air and turn into hundreds of small bats that flew to the entrance.

"Shit! Block her!" Captain James shouted.

With his command, Owl suddenly made the plants on the side of the door grew rapidly and covers the entrance passage of the hotel restaurant.

However, it was still too late as the small bats suddenly line up and directly flew through the remaining gap in the rapidly growing plant before it closes.

"Damn it, she was able to escape Captain."

"Don't worry, Dozer is with them, he can delay that b*tch. We will have to quickly end this fight here as fast as we could." Captain James said as he pointed his finger to one of the men wearing a striped prisoner's uniform.

Then a hole on its forehead appears, while its head was tilted upward in an exaggerated manner.

Captain James wanted to smile, but his face stiffens as he saw the tilted head of the guy suddenly pops back into place. Then its eyes suddenly glowed red as if it was an angry animal being provoked.

Amidst this commotion, a figure has already escaped a long time ago and is now on her way to the conference hall in a taxi after calling the cops and her superiors. Jane Weiss was quick on her feet after seeing the people in the restaurant running away and immediately escaped with them.

Since the accident with the passenger van, she knew that people would be targeting the people she is guiding. And so she decided that once she sees danger, she would think twice and escape. And so with that in mind, she was able to escape the scene unscathed which gave her a huge relief.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and the rest have already reached the busy street where many people are walking. The bustling and crowded street of Manhattan made Shin Jiao feel a bit helpless. He knew that if a fight broke through to this place, many will be endangered but how can he stop it? And where would they go?

As he was thinking of ways to prevent trouble from brewing, Dozer suddenly steps and called out to them.

"Follow me, we have a safe house near here." He said as he leads the group in an alleyway.

After walking a few blocks on the street, they suddenly stop in their place as they saw a small figure currently standing not too far from them.

Her red dress swayed through the air as the wind blew. Her appearance made everyone suddenly became tense. This is because they can feel a strong sinister cold aura from her body which made everyone feel shivers down their spine.

"My, oh my! My little prey has stopped running! It seems that this would be the end of the line for you. Well, at least I won't kill you all except for this huge guy, and that handsome Korean. Hihi…" Bloodrain said as she extended her hand to the side and made her nails grew longer.

"I'm going to enjoy this… Ohhh… the excitement in my frozen heart is making me… aroused. Hihi…"

"Perverted and bloodthirsty Lolli, I will pummel you to a pulp." Dozer said as he suddenly dashed towards the little girl.

When he positions himself to the ground, Shin Jiao saw his large feet exerting some effort which made the ground broke. With his footing firmly on the ground, Dozer's huge body and his great strength threw him like a huge rocket flying towards the little Lolli.

"Oh, you're fast… But, still… you're not fast enough." Bloodrain said as she suddenly vanished from her spot and suddenly appears behind Dozer.

Everyone was surprised but soon showed a horrified look on their face. Even Dozer had disbelief clearly written on his face.

This is because a long gash is on his stomach which is now profusely bleeding.

"How could this be?"

These words were not said by Dozer but… by Maybelline Garin.. She now showed deep confusion and doubt in her eyes.
