There was no mistaking it. That was nothing short of a threat, but no one stepped in to stop Khan. Captain Chaunac, Mister Wulfo, and the four scientists with him were third-level warriors, but Khan's sole presence froze them all.
That reaction wasn't rational. Captain Chaunac and the others experienced fear on an instinctive level, preventing them from even thinking about intervening. Khan was too scary for reasons their brains couldn't understand.
Khan's expression was plain. He wore no smirk or threatening features, but his eyes were too intense. Mister Wulfo couldn't even believe they belonged to a human. Pure chaos seemed to shine inside them, but no light came out.
Moreover, Khan's chilling voice resounded in Mister Wulfo's ears even after it vanished from the area. That simple question seeped into his brain, filling it by pushing away his other thoughts and leading to an obvious answer.
'No.'
