They were now in an open and straight corridor in the Golden Palace. There were no hiding places, and no ambush was possible. Hao Ren stood in the corridor, clenching weapons in his hands and waited. Though he did not know what was coming nor whether it was hostile, he was not nervous. He had the most powerful team on the planet with him. Except for the Nangong siblings, they were all fearsome fighters. What was more, with two veteran inspectors here, he was not afraid of any creatures of Asgard.
Well, provided it was not the First Born.
Standing beside Hao Ren were Anthony Alfonso and Galazur. The old magician surrounded himself with a dozen arcane balls that flashed in lightning, while Galazur stood barehanded, eyes red with the menacing aura of a dragon.
Everyone was in their combat-ready mode.
