The opponent was a remarkably tough one.
The "Holy Serpent Society" had suffered at their hands more than once.
One time, they even wiped out a city's branch of the society completely.
He certainly did not want to become the second.
"Understood."
Scott nodded his head and was about to issue commands.
But at that moment, his communicator rang.
"Shaun has been slain by 'Claw 13'!"
The words from the communicator were brief.
Yet, the office fell into a short silence.
Haro, leaning on his cane, looked utterly incredulous.
Scott, turning to leave, froze in his tracks.
Kuya, who had been looking down, slowly raised her head; the defeat on her face completely vanished, leaving only... exultation.
It was true!
'Claw 13' was real!
Excitement sparkled in Kuya's eyes.
"What? Repeat that!"
Scott said.
"Just now, immediately after getting off the plane, Shaun was killed by 'Claw 13'!"
The voice from the communicator repeated.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
