Ignoring his wait and see attitude, Crey walked forward first while simultaneously he sent a quick text message(these are mostly arranged from pre-written suggestions from AI) to Ank believing that he would understand the gravity of the situation and obey his order unflinchingly,
It simply read,
"You shouldn't interfere until, I ask you Or you are certain that you can hit him."
Crey, getting Ank out of the way, fished out a titanium knife from his pocket and held it in a reverse grip position in his hands.
His mind slowly turned silent just like he was taught to do during life-death situations with no thoughts, the type which had helped him give his all without any distractions. The one they dubbed as Zero State.
However, rigorously trained he might be, being out of touch from that field he had left behind for nearly seven years, during that gap when he didn't even touch the violence. It wasn't as perfect as it used to be.
