Casper had his heart bumping quickly inside his chest while sitting on a chair. He was in front of a computer that was still working. Sweat went down his face and his breathing was unsteady. He didn't need to make any major effort, it was just his body releasing all the tension and stress at once. He was worrying whether his plan would work or not.
Beside him was the figure of Canute's father. The man got hurt all over and too much blood was dripping from his wounds. The criminals tried to kill him, so he wouldn't be able to make the teleporting pads go back to their normal state again. In the end, the Frelsis had committed their first and last mistake on that mission. The constitution of that old man was greater than anyone could ever imagine.
Even if his body was covered in bruises and holes made by bullets, he continued struggling to keep every second of life he had remaining.
