Chapter 55 - 55

Lexi was usually quick to retreat when there was too much danger. It was unheard of that she would risk herself for others but during the time she spent with Rayne and Hogan, she had developed a soft spot for them.

They were both misguided people who had good intentions and she had tricked them into going along with what she wanted.

They were genuine toward her and she mainly treated them well since they were important to her plans.

Rayne was a wild card that could shake up everything and she needed to keep her by her side.

It was like that until recently but the recent events had set her on a path where she would have to decide to retreat like usual.

A part of her wanted to hold onto a valuable wild card like Rayne and another part of her had become fond of the father-and-daughter pair.

Lexi could not do things the way she had before and let them be used or killed due to the ongoing power struggles.

She came up with a plan which began immediately and they headed out on their task with Grill.

Grill was always nearby unless he was reporting to his superiors so it was difficult for the trio to plan anything out or discuss their ideas so they had to leave it to Lexi and follow along.

They were engaged in a battle within a facility located in the mountains and magic spells or ki blasts were flying everywhere.

Grill was close behind avoiding harm as he watched the others engaged in battle.

Hogan conjured a weird slime that hit his opponents and electrocuted them to provide ranged support.

Rayne charged into many magic and ki attacks like an invulnerable tank.

Lexi was fast and agile as she moved swiftly through the battlefield and efficiently attacked people from behind with assassin-like precision strikes.

The trio moved suddenly entering the door of the underground facility in the mountains as if going to infiltrate further or seeking cover.

Grill narrowed his eyes and followed behind but stopped suddenly as if sensing something strange. "What the..."

A huge explosion went off within taking everything with it.
