The man was stunned at how fast these kids had taken out the leader jersey for touching one of them. It was as if he triggered something inside them from that contact.
"Are you okay, Athena?" Kira asked.
Athena nodded. She wasn't really worried when the man grabbed her. It was near impossible to do anything to her, especially with the group here, but she was extremely happy seeing how fast they reacted for her.
The man was about to walk up to the group when more than ten city guards came rushing in that direction, weapons pulled.
"Everyone stand down," the guards yelled, ready to battle them if they made any move.
They looked at the state of the restaurant and there knew it was a full-out awakened battle that had happened here. Someone needed to be arrested here.
The man, seeing the situation, lifted his hands and walked forward. The guards shifted back slightly but kept their weapons drawn and ready to go.
