With a quick run he moved without slowing down, no matter how steep or uneven the road is becoming.
The terrain he was currently traversing into was sothing an ordinary person would struggle with, but to him, it felt no different from running along a smooth highway.
Within tens of minute, he had already reached his destination. He stood on a cliff on the right side of the mountain and looked down at the target location below.
There he spotted a huge mansion, the place where his enemies were currently hiding.
He was around three hundred ters away but with his enhanced vision, it felt as if he was standing right in front of the building.
With his hearing that covered half kiloter around him, he can fully identify how many individuals that are positioned inside.
"About sixty... wait... it’s seventy-three to be exact," he muttered in a low voice with both eyes closed.
Since when it ca to sensing, his hearing was far more reliable than his sight.
He could detect every movent by listening to the sound waves around him and converting them into clear ntal images.
However, the images were not perfectly accurate. If that were to be the case then isn’t that OP?
Well Anyways the unnecessary noise in the surroundings can disrupt and distort the details, limiting the full potential of his ability.
If he learned to control it even further, he guesses it can turn it like having an x-ray vision in the future.
Without moving from his spot, he had already ford an estimate of their numbers through sound alone.
However, he was not completely sure. There was sothing else he could sense, sothing faint but the sound was too weak for him to identify.
While he was lost in thought, a shout and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed just below the cliff.
His golden eyes glowed golden as he pierced through the place and saw a kid around eleven years old and wearing ragged clothes.
He ca running through the trees perfectly drenched in sweat.
"Hurry, chase the kid!" a man’s voice shouted from within the forest.
Behind the kid, four n were chasing after him. From a situation like this, it was easy to guess that the boy must have been abducted and was now escaping.
"Haaa," the kid gasped as he ran, struggling to breathe each ti he exerted so strength.
In his desperation, his foot slipped on a small rock. He lost his balance and tumbled across the ground.
"Ahhh... ouch!" he cried out, finally stopping when his back slamd against a tree.
"Where are you running now you little brat," one of the n said as he caught up, accompanied by a mocking laughter.
"You really made us chase you this far. Do you know how precious our ti is? If we don’t set another example, more and more brats like you will try to escape," the man said as he kicked aside a small plant blocking his way.
Hearing those words, the kid’s eyes turned red with anger. He glared at the man with everything he had.
"Heh, what’s with that look you little brat? Should I cut off both your legs to get rid of that bad habit of yours?" the man said as he stopped just a few steps away from him.
He kept his mouth shut and continued glaring even more fiercely, which only made the man angrier.
The kid is really rebellious clearly showing no fear at all, and that burned his pride.
"Big Smoke I seed to know this kid. He was captured a week ago together with a girl who seems to be his older sister. Big brother Bernard said not to touch the product, but since he broke the rules, can we..." the man said, his expression turning lustful as he rembered how beautiful the woman was.
"Oh, really? So that’s how it is. There’s actually sothing interesting involved," Big Smoke said as he looked at the boy with a wicked smile.
"You actually have a sister. Then consider your punishnt transferred to your big sister for not raising you well, haha," the man said while laughing.
Hearing that, the kid was overwheld with anger and desperation. He grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it with all his power that he can muster.
The man who was caught completely off guard, took the hit right in the face. He staggered back and held his crooked nose.
Seeing the blood on his hand filled him with pure rage, "You brat!" he shouted as he stood up and marched toward the kid with heavy steps.
"We won’t just cut off your legs, we will also play with your sister while you watch in despair. Hey, bring the machete,"
Big Smoke ordered as one of his n quickly handed the weapon to him.
The kid whose legs had already been injured earlier, could no longer run.
All he could do was cry, blaming himself for not escaping much faster and now he even dragged misery toward his sister.
Big Smoke reached to his legs and without a hint of hesitation, then he swung the machete down towards them.
But before the blade could land, it was knocked away with such force that it flew off as if it had been struck by a bullet.
"Ahhh!"
Big Smoke scread as the recoil sent the machete flying back into his own shoulder, the blade burying itself deep into his flesh as blood gushed down his arm.
"What just happened... who did th—" He never finished his words.
When a single shot of air pierced through his head killing him instantly.
His lackeys froze in shock at the sudden death of their big brother.
In that mont of disbelief, they were each taken down by clean calculated shots, one by one they collapsed to the ground one after another.
As the bodies fell around him the kid remained frozen, unable to speak as he stared at the scene.
Monts ago those n were alive shouting and threatening him, and now they were lying lifeless on the ground.
His mind struggled to understand what had just happened. While he was still in a dazed, a shadow suddenly moved in front of him.
A tall figure appeared with his face mostly covered, leaving only his eyes visible in the darkness.
Those golden eyes like that of a lion were striking enough to pull the boy out of his shock for a mont.
"Hey kid, are you good?" Jeff asked as he crouched down to his level.
He had pushed himself to arrive as fast as he could. Fortunately when the distance was right, he had managed to fire a single shot that struck the center of the machete, knocking it away before it could land on the boy’s legs.
The kid did not answer him however he lowered his head, his trembling hands reaching toward his injured legs.
"Big brother please help. My sister and the rest of us are being kept in a big warehouse. Please save us big brother," the kid cried as he begged for rcy.
While he was on despair a mont later a hand gently landed on his head. The simple gesture felt warm, almost like it revived a part of his spirit that had nearly died in fear.
"Take there," Jeff responded.
The child looked up and his eyes were filled with relief, gratitude, and hope as if he had finally found a way for everyone to survive.
