Seizing the moment, Adrian rushed forward. It was the only time he could capture Charles. If he got him, Maria would no longer be able to dodge the questions about her morality.
Adrian wasn't aware of Charles's identity, but judging by his strength and how he could command the ghost soldiers, Adrian knew he had to be some higher-up working for Maria.
'But for that, I need to capture him first.'
He grabbed Charles's head with both hands and brought his knee up, smashing it into Charles's face. The first blow landed with a sickening crunch, blood spurting from Charles's nose.
But Adrian didn't stop there. He kneed Charles again and again, each strike fueled by the need to capture the man and keep him busy till James and John arrived there with the reinforcements.
