Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 391 They Call Themselves S

"Tell me who sent you."

George choked on some blood and coughed. Arit tightened her hand even more, and George held her hand tiredly while talking.

"I-I don't know, I don't know who sent me. I just got a message, and they told us to get you and that little girl. Please."

Arit felt irritated once she heard George say this. Arit hoped that she would at least be able to get the name of his employer from him. From everything that they had been saying, Arit knew that George and Selina were just mercenaries, so that meant there had to be someone else helping them behind the scenes.

"What about Mark? What are you all planning for him?"

"I-I don't know – grk!"

Arit tightened her hand even more, and George almost died right there as he felt his windpipe being squeezed shut! He immediately shouted out loudly!

"They sent the anima here! They were the ones that sent the anima! I-I don't have any names, but I have a group. I know the name of the group! Let me go, and I'll tell you!"

Arit glared at George as her pressure pressed down on him.

"Tell me the name, and I'll think about letting you go."

George was breathing heavily, and he looked down into Arit's eyes to see if he could trust her words. George knew that Arit could kill him with just a single squeeze right now, so he had to preserve his life any way he could. But when he looked into Arit's eyes, he didn't see anything there. Her eyes were still narrowed, and there was nothing there but pure anger.

George couldn't guess what was going through Arit's mind at that moment, so he just swallowed and decided to bite the bullet.

Arit flew down to the forest to make her way to Talia, but on her way there, she stopped as she saw something hidden inside the bushes. Isn't that Greg and his wife?

...

In the clearing, James heard something moving from the side, and he opened one of his eyes blearily to see what was there. Even though James was tired, he was still on high alert after the fight that they just had, and he gave the part of the forest that he heard the noise from a narrowed glare.

"Growl~!"

James felt his entire body lock up as he heard a deep growl from that side of the forest. That was an anima, wasn't it? It was definitely an anima!

'What is an anima doing here? I thought there were superhumans taking care of them!'

James put his hand out protectively to try and drag Talia closer to him when he saw the foliage clearing out to reveal the most disgusting thing that James had ever seen in his life. A two-headed, multi-armed freak of nature that towered over them like some sort of alien species.

The anima in front of James had bloated purple skin and two large stump-like legs that barely managed to carry it forward.

The anima had come from the western side of the forest, so it had missed the superhumans that were supposed to make sure that it didn't come this close to the hotel. Once the anima got into the clearing, it looked around with its four eyes, scanning the surroundings curiously until its gaze landed on James and Talia.

A nasty growl left the anima's throat, and it began to move toward them threateningly.

The trees around James and Talia prepared for an attack, but James could tell just from looking at the anima in front of him that they wouldn't stand a chance against it. They had already exhausted most of their mana when fighting against Selina, so they were just running on fumes right now!

Doon!

All of a sudden, the anima stopped as it felt something oppressive pressing down on it! The anima felt a shiver go down its spine as it turned its heads around to look at the surrounding forest, trying to see where that feeling came from!
