As soon as Hugh mentioned the word 'nucleus,' Marshal seemed to have been splashed cold water on his face. It looked like he had just seen a ghost as he faced Hugh.
Marshal did not think that Hugh would know anything about his nucleus. This was intimate information about his species, and Hugh just casually mentioned it like it was nothing.
It was then that Marshal's realized that he should not underestimate Hugh. He quickly shut his mouth up so that he would not speak to Hugh ever again.
Marshal immediately raised both of his hands in a defensive position against Hugh. He was now ready to fight, not talk.
Hugh was also getting tired of talking as he got ready to fight. He used his eagle eyes to keep an eye on everything Marshal would do so that he would not get blindsided.
Hugh activated his armor. Brown and silver liquid started to fill around Hugh's feet and enhanced his speed and kicking power.
