168 The Fall of the Syndicate (1/2)
Day 6 – 2:24 PM – Multi-purpose Clubhouse, Citta Italia, Molino III, Bacoor City, Cavite
”What is that about?”
Seeing Emika who should be one of their protection targets being able to freely wander around in a dangerous area, both Major Lopez and Captain Dela Rosa had their eyes narrowed. They felt like reproaching their subordinates. Even if the vehicles in the convoy were not moved as soon as possible, they should make her remain inside the military vehicle they were in since those vehicles were bullet proof.
”Our men seem to need some talking.”
Captain Dela Rosa said making the major beside him nod.
”Uhm, sirs, calm down a bit.”
Irene interrupted taking the attention of the two.

Irene pointed at the two trees near where Emika hid. There were vines wound across the trunks of the trees. Several soldiers hurriedly went towards the trees and removed the vines. Apparently, those vines bound two soldiers on those trees.
The two military officers were speechless. It was not that the soldiers allowed the girl to go out but the she tied her guards on those trees unable to pull her back.
On the other hand, the green haired girl in question did not run far away and hid behind another tree. She was already sulking because that scary uncle did not inform her that there would be a fight happening. Still, she could not help but exclaim in excitement every time she saw some abilities that coincide with what she watched from the phone she borrowed. Since it would be surely boring along the way, she asked that scary uncle for something to relieve boredom before the final preparations of the evacuation happened and that was what she received from him.
She enjoyed watching the anime but the actual fight in front of her was what she enjoyed more for some reason.

”You want to say something? Chameleon right? To have an ability like this, no wonder you call yourself that.”
Mark pressed his assault rifle towards Chameleon's head despite the fact that he could not see his figure. For others, it might look impossible but since the main source of emotional energies Mark could detect was the head of the person, it was easy for him to point out where the target's head was.
Chameleon was surely did not have the strength to fight anymore. Mark was sure of it after observing Black Devil's attacks. Even Odelina with her armor would not be able to withstand a punch from him. That was how strong the bald man's body was after he transformed himself. To know that Chameleon was still alive after receiving a direct enraged punch from Black Devil was already surprising.
On the patch of sunken grass in front of Mark, aside from feeling the pain in his body, Chameleon's mind was in turmoil. He could not understand what was happening. His strength lie on his schemes but he was also proficient in assassination, stealth attacks and ambushes and the ability he acquired after mutating fully complemented his fighting style. Yet, it was used against him.
It was not hard to realize what Mark did. Mark pretended not to notice him but was actually lining Black Devil's punch for him to receive. Mark only dodged at the last moment so that there was no way for them to stop their attacks.
While on his shocked state, he suddenly heard Mark's muttering.
”Too shocked to talk? This will surely wake you up.”
TSST! TSST! TSST! TSST!
Four muffled shots sounded as Mark aimed his gun on where Chameleon's feet should be and fired.
”GAAAAH!!!”
A painful scream sounded as Chameleon's body started to appear in front of them unable to maintain his invisibility.
A practically naked man that lay on the grass with his front was displayed in front of them. His body covered with multitudes of greenish scales from head to toe and even his hair had a greenish color and scaly texture complementing his body. His wide eyes because of pain were actually shaped differently from what human's had. The eyelid of both his eyes were not a slit but covered his eyes only leaving a circular hole where his pupils that were looking at different directions could be seen.
There was no doubt. His mutation really had something to do with chameleons though his invisibility was not just something like color changing. It was something more advanced.
Saliva and blood poured out of his widely opened mouth. It seemed to be the first time that he was subjected to this kind of pain.
”Boss!”
Many of Chameleon's followers that had just arrived shouted after seeing the current state of their boss. They had just received the call from Adder and Cobra and started to gather in this place. Still, even if they arrived, what could they do if their boss was already taken as a hostage?
Finally, Chameleon spoke with difficulty.
”Don't feel smug just because you got me. You might be able to fight but what about those that drove away? My men will capture them first!”
Chameleon still had some complacency left.
”Oh, you don't have to bother. You think, I never thought of that possibility?”
Mark said as he stepped and ground his foot on the gunshot wound of Chameleon's leg making him scream once more.
Gunshots then echoed making Chameleon smile despite the pain. It looked like his men that came from the other side of the subdivision had already clashed with Mark's group.
However, the gunshots did not even last a minute before stopping. Next, dead mangled bodies started to flew towards the direction of the clubhouse crashing everywhere that both the soldiers and thugs had to vacate the area. The already mangled bodies that crashed were even more disfigured due to the impact.
”Laelaps should really learn how to accurately throw things.”
Mark muttered.
He expected that something like this would happen. That was why he did not allow the golden dog to participate in the main part but to help and guard the other members of his group. He know what the Evolvers there had no experience fighting a battle like this and thus, Laelaps would be a good helper for them.
On the other hand, all the remaining members of the syndicate had their eyes opened wide and Chameleon was not exception despite the fact that his eyes were only two holes now. It could not be any clearer that the bodies crashing down were dead bodies of their members!
At the background, Chameleon's men started to fall one by one because of Odelina and Abbygale's assault. Furthermore, Chameleon's sudden capture gave the two more leeway for their movements.
