When Nate dismissed Peter and carried on with his inspection, Peter went directly back to the workshop.
When he reached there though, Jim was not present and only Lyon, who was lying on the floor while looking at the ceiling of the workshop, Peter did not find Jim's absence suspicious. With his low intelligence, he was not able to register anything strange about the guy's absence...
However, the moment Lyon saw Peter, he quickly got up and looked around expecting to see Nate also but the former never showed up, but the look from Peter started to send shivering all over his body.
"Hey, where is Nate," Lyon asked but all he got was a reply of a sharp glance from Peter increasing the shivering that was running around his body.
"Sorry, I forget that you can't talk" Lyon kindly apologized and went back to sit down, but he noticed that Peter glances never left him as the latter kept looking in his direction...
Peter was standing while leaning his back on a metal pillar while he crossed his arms together and glanced at Lyon.
'Maybe this means I should start my training,' Lyon thought and started to do his morning routine training starting with a few hundred pushups and then going up to lift a weight that is far more than himself.
All this had been happening in silence with Lyon training for over an hour now. At some point, he even started to practice how to alter without being triggered.
Lyon does not have any problems with transforming back to his normal but how to transform instead. Nate had told him what he did to him with the crystal and that he can now alter into four different forms if the mantis form did save inside him.
So far, Lyon was able to transform his hand into the rad rat hand that has sharp claws on the edge of its fingers. Lyon was not downcast by this, instead, he was happy that he finally was showing an improvement.
Lyon was still down by training his altars and doing some martial art stunts that Nate had taught him for the five bass days. Things were going well till Lyon's sensitive ear started to pick up some whispers from outside the workshop.
'My training section is over for today,' Lyon thought and sighed in relief. He thought it was Jim and Nate coming, he stopped his body change and went to go and lay down on the usual spot he stays.
For the past five days, Nate has been training Lyon on his altar change but this was done in secret because Jim had no idea what they are and Nate was not planning to let him know anytime soon, so Lyon being a superhuman is a secret Nate was trying to keep away from Jim.
Lyon was about to go and rest but that was when the voice from the other side became clear to him and he found out it was not Nate's voice nor was it Jim's own.
"Are you sure this is the place?" the voice from the out asked.
"I'm telling you, boss, I saw them taking in the barrels containing the fuels inside this house, it must be inside" another voice answered.
Lyon wasn't given the time to think through what he was hearing when he had a command from the voice from earlier...
"Break the doors!"
The workshop entrance door was big enough to take in about two cars at once so the door was made just like the materials used in making the other part of the shop, rusting zinc.
So with just a rush of a car that bashed onto the zink gate door, it was sent flying toward Lyon before he could even move.
But just with a wave of his hand, Lyon knocks off the gate in another direction. Soon, men dressed in cloth that look like that of the swat team entered the room, with long Ak47 guns in their hands.
In total, Lyon was able to count out ten people with guns and they were five with clubs, fifteen men were standing before Lyon with guns.
But soon, someone who made them sixteen walked out from their back, he was a redhead man with stitched scars that were slightly visible could be seen on his left eye side. The man worked forward in front of the others and looked at Lyon whose expression was complex, one could not tell if he was scared or if he was not.
"Is he the one that took it?" the man suddenly asked.
"He was not with them, but I'm sure this was the place I saw the truck carrying the barrel come into" one of his subordinates answered.
The man then looked at Lyon and said.
"My men said that they found a truck carrying a barrel of fuel into this.." The man paused slightly to look at the workshop and continued, "in the warehouse," the man mistook it as a warehouse but it was not his fault because the workshop does look more like a warehouse than a workshop.
"You came to the wrong warehouse," Lyon replied, though he was surprised that he was able to speak in front of the people in front of him.
"He is lying," shouted a man from the back.
Meanwhile, the boss just looked Lyon in the eyes.
"Then if we do come at the wrong hours, why don't we take everything here" saying that, all the people with guns charged as they were ready to move.
"No.." Before Lyon could do anything, the boss sent a kick to his stomach, making Lyon almost vomit the food he ate.
"You don't move or else, you die!" Shouted the boss as he pointed a mini pistol gun at Lyons's head.
Meanwhile, the groups had moved to search every corner of the room, it was then they spotted Peter who all this while was just standing, looking at Lyon with his arm crossed.
"He is the one... He is the one I saw taking the fuel" shouted one of the men that had brought the group to the workshop in the first place. He had mistaken Peter for Nate because of the resemblance.
Meanwhile, Lyon was gnashing his teeth as he looked at this.
'punched me...and it was hard, then why am I not transforming?' he thought of gnashing his teeth. His form was disappointing him right now.
'Peter won't answer anything and they might kill him... I have to do something,' Lyon angrily thought as he tried turning himself.
Two men came that instant and used their guns to hit on Lions head, but this did not knock him out, instead it had to weaken his body.
'I'm fucked up if anything happens to Peter,' the furious face of Nate appeared on his mind on thinking of this.
Meanwhile, the boss walked up to Peter.
"So, young boy, where did you keep it?" He asked but Peter did not even spare a glance at him.
This irritated him so much that he pulled out his gun and fired at Peter.
"If you don't talk, I will shoot you in your leg" he threatened but Peter still did not look at him.
Bang!!!
Three bullets were pulled into Peter's, not only his leg but his thigh also, yet they did not get any response from Peter, he did not even look at them, or cry out like one that was shot.
This though, made every one of them take a step back in fright and horror.
"How is this possible?" some of the men could not help but ask.
It was then that their boss pointed the pistol at Peter's head.
"Let's see if you will survive this" but before he could pull the trigger, Peter all of a sudden moved. It was so fast that none of them had the chance to react when Peter started swinging the pickaxe that appeared in his hand at them.
