Cheng Weilong was the first to react to the attack, since he hadn't taken his eyes off the boy.
Spinning his glaive at the claws, intending to deflect them away, he growled at the boy.
"He is not yours to take down, you bloodthirsty little beast!"
Even though Alexander's words kept echoing inside Cheng Weilong's mind, he couldn't bring himself to trust him. The man was a danger to anyone who wasn't a powerful warrior, even if he refused to admit it himself.
Letting him walk among regular civilians was like hiding a nuclear reactor among a pile of batteries. It was bound to blow up eventually and melt everything around him.
Weilong himself had cut his interactions with civilians to a minimum ever since he had awakened to his powers from within New Eden. He only went out to meet regular people when the agency ordered him to, in PR stunts and the likes.
