Chapter 1733 Cleo's Visit
The man remained unfazed by Wynter's exclamation as he pulled the trigger. In that split second, Wynter bent her body and hurled three silver needles toward his wrist. The sharp pain caused the man to lose hold of the gun.
Standing up, Wynter found that the man seemed to have forgotten her entirely. His gaze lost its usual warmth, filled instead with a cold disdain for life.
"What happened to you, Fang?" Wynter called out to him.
Lupius hesitated at the sound of his codename. His eyes flickered with a brief clarity, but the distant chime of a bell brought him under control again. He yanked the silver needles from his wrists and attacked Wynter once more.
Wynter, hearing the bell, turned toward the source of the sound. She spotted a figure draped in a black robe perched high on a building. They gave her a slight bow, as if telling her to enjoy the gift they had prepared. The figure then slowly retreated until it disappeared from sight.
At that moment, Lupius swung a powerful fist toward Wynter, the air around it cracking with force. She shifted her gaze from the building and darted back, narrowly avoiding the blow. No matter how she called his name, his expression remained detached-like a man staring into the face of death.
Only then did Wynter understand why the old medium had taken Lupius. Dave once mentioned that the old medium had a use for Lupius, and now that need was painfully clear.
Knowing that Wynter wouldn't kill Lupius, the old medium had taken control of him to fight against her. Wynter, however, couldn't risk using her needles on Lupius, as one wrong move could lead to irreparable damage.
When the Special Unit members arrived at the scene, they found Wynter standing there. Upon drawing closer, they were surprised to see Lupius. "What are you doing here, Fang? We've been searching for you nonstop these past few days."
Yet, Lupius didn't respond to their call and merely focused on attacking Wynter. In his eyes, she appeared to be a dangerous monster that needed to be eliminated.
