The strong, harsh gust of wind almost threw Penny and Zoren off balance, if not for their position and where they stood. Despite the sudden wind inside the aircraft, Penny managed to peek. The moment she did, all she saw was the man lunging at Atlas from behind.
"Atlas!" she screamed, her eyes widening, her breath stopping completely.
Her piercing scream alerted Hugo right after the gust of wind almost pushed him to the floor. Even before seeing the situation, he knew something terrible had just happened. His heart pounded against his chest as an adrenaline rush surged throughout his body — something that hadn't even happened during the fight earlier.
Clasping the nearest seat, Hugo forced his body to turn against the wind. As soon as he did, his pupils constricted and his irises dilated.
