You... who the hell are you?

The Awakeners from Genesis Biotech were charging in from the rear, drawing titanium-alloy machetes that gleamed as they sliced through the air, aiming straight for his head.

The strike was vicious—clearly meant to kill in one blow.

"FUCK!"

The Black Hand Legion lieutenant cursed under his breath, jerking back just in time.

The blade missed his forehead by a hair—way too close for comfort.

The Black Hand Legion weren't exactly known for their patience or diplomacy. These guys were all hotheads, and this one was no exception. His temper flared instantly.

"You're dead, asshole!"

With a snarl, the lieutenant swung a brutal right hook that landed square on the Genesis Biotech Awakener's skull. There was a sickening crack as the man's head caved in, and his body went flying, limp and lifeless. No way he was getting up from that.
