NOVEL WEB Chapter 99: Peter and Jane
The couple sitting behind in the back seat stopped smooching with each other.
"Peter, you just turned me on so bad."
"We have time for more later, Jane."
Peter wiped his mouth with his sleeve and placed his hand onto the man with covered eyes.
"Paul, wait," he said.
Paul turned his head over at Peter.
But with his covered eyes, Peter couldn't see what Paul's expression was.
"Wait for what? Time for us to call backup and get those bastards."
The security force officer wanted to pick up the radio receiver and call for backup.
Peter grabbed onto his hand and stopped the security force officer.
Seeing her boyfriend's action, Jane stepped in and held onto the security force officer's neck from behind.
"What... Let go of me... Are you with them..." The security force officer tried to struggle free but couldn't.
He was no match for S Level awakened like Peter and Jane.
Paul, with his covered eyes, sat in his seat and waited for Peter to give him an explanation.
"Are you dumb or what?" Peter grabbed the radio receiver from the security force officer's hand and said, "Think about it, that's $5 million per head.
"The four of us could get what? $6 million each if we apprehend them.
"If you call backup, what will we get instead?"
The security force officer and Paul went silent and pondered for a moment.
Seeing that they were on the line, Peter upped the ante and said, "Come on, we can deal with them.
"The reports were that they got seriously injured.
"Nothing we can't deal with."
It worked.
Paul and the security force officer nodded to Peter's suggestion.
The high reward was too attractive for them to give up.
...
95%.
Dr. Uwe paced around and checked the progression of the spectrometer machine impatiently.
Lukas and the other team members were now in different disguises.
He had a duck cap and wore a fake mustache.
Rex had long dreadlocks, Riley cut and dyed his blue hair brown.
Emma also cut and dyed her hair black.
She also changed into Margaret's shirt and jeans.
Harianto used his ability and let some electronics from the house cover his eyes and arms.
98%.
Dr. Uwe stopped and looked at the screen on the spectrometer when it reached 98%.
"Two more minutes," he announced.
"I will get the armored car ready," Harianto said and pressed the button for the entrance of the lab to open.
When he got out, he heard footsteps on top.
The wooden floor creaked as Peter, Jane, Paul and the security force officer walked around searching for them.
Harianto immediately raised his right hand, signaling to the others that there was someone in the house.
The mechanical and electronic parts on his arm turned into a plasma cannon.
"I'll go and help," Lukas said and walked over to Harianto.
He led the way up the staircase of the basement slowly.
...
"Paul, do your thing and see where they are," Peter said impatiently after searching the whole house and not finding a person in sight.
Paul, who was already exhausted from using his ability earlier, gave out a sigh.
He sat down onto the sofa and activated his ability.
The red glow appeared and engulfed him again.
Slowly he saw the red and black particles forming into imagery.
He saw people going down the basement.
Paul stood up and pointed at the entrance to the basement.
But before he could speak, the door opened.
Lukas fired two shots at Paul's knees with his pistol.
The silencer helped conceal the firing of the shots.
"Argh," Paul fell forward onto the ground, giving out a cry.
"What happened?" Peter came running over, and when he saw Lukas aiming his pistol at him, he quickly pulled the sofa and rolled behind it.
The security force officer came rushing in next, but Lukas turned his arm and shot at the security force officer's shoulder.
Splatter.
It hit and the security force officer sprawled onto the ground.
Lukas turned his focus back onto Peter.
He placed his hands onto the ground and the ice extended out towards the sofa.
The next moment, Peter leaped out from the sofa and lunged at Lukas.
Peter's eyes opened wide when he saw flickers of light appearing in Lukas's hands.
Wham.
Lukas unleashed a lightning strike at Peter.
And to Lukas's surprise, Peter splashed out and turned into a puddle of water which dissipated immediately.
Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind coming at him and he quickly ducked.
Another Peter had lunged out at him from the sofa.
Thud.
An ice wall rose, and Peter could only hit the ice wall.
His punch couldn't do much to it.
Lukas used his shoulder and charged at the ice wall.
The ice cracked and shards of ice from the ice wall shot out at Peter.
Thud.
Some of the ice shards got through Peter's body.
The force hurled him back and the ice shards nailed him to the wall.
"No!" Jane, who was on the second floor of the house, came down and saw what happened.
She turned toward Lukas and raised her hands at him.
Lukas was ready to unleash an ice spike at her, but he felt a force pulling his arms down.
Seeing this, Harianto aimed his plasma cannon he had on his arm at her.
Before he could fire the plasma shot at her, he too felt a force pulling his arm downward.
Lukas lunged at her next, and Jane quickly tried to use her S Level Gravity ability to force Lukas down onto the ground.
Thud.
Suddenly, Jane felt a pull on her ankles, and she fell backward onto the ground.
Lukas had used his shadow wielder ability and yanked her onto the ground.
The very next thing that Jane saw was his fist coming down at her.
She raised her arms trying to block it but couldn't.
Crack.
The bones of her forearms gave out a loud cracking sound as they fractured from Lukas's fist.
Lukas pulled back his fist and slammed it down at Jane's head.
Thud.
It made Jane's head crash through the wooden floorboard.
Broken pieces of wood flew in all directions.
Jane lay motionlessly as she was now unconscious.
"Argh. Jane," Peter, who was now free from the ice shards, grunted out from behind.
Lukas stood up and turned around.
He frowned as there were now four Peters standing side by side.
