15 Chapter 15 They Are So Screwed... (2/2)

Taylor woke up to Jake shaking her awake. She groggily got up and was about to speak but Jake silenced her quickly.

”I hear someone.”

Those 3 words seemed to shock her as she couldn't hear anything. Her ability allows her to read the mind of any being within 30 meters of her but she couldn't register anything around her. Then, finally, a group of people could be hear as they walked through the forest in their direction.

”There's a clearing up ahead. It appears on the map. See?” said a young overly excited guy.

A rough voice responded and said, ”Stop being so fucking loud. That damn cross dressing whore is somewhere around here. The last confirmation we got was that she was hunting some large wolf Fiends around here. With her little ability she could have survived but she has to be wounded.”

Several voices agreed to that statement and Jake looked at Taylor. She did look like she dressed like a guy when he first saw her but now that he knew she was a girl she at least let her hair down, regaining her feminine appearance.

Taylor tried to avoid Jake's invasive look but then the group of people walked through the tree line. Wearing similar clothing, it was obvious that they belonged in the same organization.

There were 5 guys and 2 girls in the group. The guys were all middle aged men and 4 of them had hulking physiques, much larger than ”Clark Kent's” but not as aesthetically pleasing to look at.

The one guy who stood in the middle was clearly the leader as both girls surrounded him. He was good looking, built like Christiano Renaldo, but he had a smirk permanently on his face. If Jake was to say what he looked like, he basically looked like a douche.

Both sides locked eyes with each other, and the group froze while Jake and Taylor stood up.

The leader of the other group grinned sinisterly when he saw Taylor but then saw that her armor was slashed and the grin turned into a full on smile.

He starts to walk forward and puts his arms out towards them as if he was performing some grand act. ”Taylor, how good to see you here! And lookie here! You found yourself someone to protect you. I hope you said goodbye to your parents before you ran away. I'm going to let you in on a secret...”

At this time, he was within 10 feet of them. Taylor's face turned pale and she started shaking, fists clenched.

”Ahhh I see. So you read my mind. Well I guess I don't have to say it out loud for your new boyfriend to hear.”

She was visually shaken but he didn't stop.

”There is a much better candidate than you to take over your family business. In the end, due to the assassination failing, they hired us to finish you off.”

Jake rolled his eyes and sighed. 'Bad guys love to talk huh?'

The guy turned to look at him, eyes narrowing as he saw the man who was clearly unaffected or is just too stupid to realize what is going happen to him for being with her. They have 7 people and there is one and a half of them. To him, Taylor is injured and there has been a proven statistical fact that out of every 100 with powers, only 1 would have an ”S” ranked power, and he has one.

To him, there is no way that Jake would also have one when he is clearly living out in the woods instead of living it up in society.

'These two are so screwed...' they all thought.

'These guys are so screwed...' thought Taylor as she remembered how easily he crushed those wolves...
