Chapter 1029: At Long Last

"Kaiden Grey, at last." He took one hand from his pocket and offered it. "Viktor Thorne. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a very long time."

Viktor closed his offered hand into a fist and lunged, turning the greeting into a punch at Kaiden’s chest.

Kaiden raised his gauntlet in time to block. The blow drove his armored forearm into his ribs, and he felt one crack as he staggered back toward the bench. Aria and Yunohana were getting up behind him.

’Fuck... What is that Strength?’

He cursed inwardly, feeling his insides crying out in alarm.

Kaiden couldn’t give this man another step. He planted his feet, caught the man’s punching wrist, and twisted it away from the women.

Across the pond, one of their escort guards swung at Alice and Alexandra as they rose from their bench. Calypso caught his sword on her axe, shielding them while Luna got up from the adjoining table.

Then someone shouted the Storm Valkyrie’s name from the entrance.

"Luna! It’s me!"

Her brother stood at the garden entrance, looking straight at her.

"...What?"

Shock held her gaze on him for a moment. She hadn’t decided whether she could bear to meet him, and now he was here, in Japan, watching a stranger attack Kai.

Beside Kaiden, Yunohana tried to step around the men to help him. The guard captain had followed Viktor toward the bench, and he swung his sword at her, forcing her to catch his wrist before the blade reached her throat.

Yunohana wrenched his arm behind his back and drove him to his knees with a brutal kick to the neck. He was crying, his fingers still straining to turn the sword toward her.

"They’re being manipulated."

She took the sword from his straining fingers and struck him with its hilt. He went limp, and Sonoda caught him as Yunohana released him and turned back to Kaiden, already reaching for the blessing on his wrist.

At the table across the pond, a guard drove his spear at Nyx’s chest. She pulled the table upright with spatial force, catching the thrust in its wooden top.

"The guards became just like the vampire’s thralls! Watch out!" Nyx shouted, alerting all her friends.

Bastet fired past Nyx, burning through the spear shaft and into the guard’s shoulder. Her next shot struck the sword out of the hands of the man fighting Calypso, allowing the demoness to knock him aside and leap across the pond toward Viktor.

Bastet stayed behind the upturned table, covering her friends with precise solar fire as the fighting spread along the walkways. The guards still in control of themselves pulled customers into the shops and grappled with comrades who kept trying to reach the family.

Kaiden heard the fighting spread around the pond, but Viktor was still pressing against his grip. The man smiled at him as his free hand came out of his coat.

"What a tough boy you became in just a few months. I think I’m one of your biggest fans. But alas, fate had other plans."

He was holding a dark red crystal. Kaiden, his senses screaming danger at the mere sight of it, reached for the item with his free hand while Aria sent a crescent of moonlight past his shoulder, cutting into Viktor’s upper arm. "Kai!"

"I won’t let you!" Luna shouted.

She crossed the pond in a flash of lightning and kicked at the hand holding the crystal.

Despite her brother being here in the flesh, the Storm Valkyrie chose to help Kaiden, needing only a single second to enter battle mode.

But that one second was all Viktor needed. He crushed the crystal before her heel struck his wrist.

Bone snapped under Luna’s kick.

"Ouch."

Blood and broken crystal sprayed over Kaiden’s gauntlet, but a red cord of magic had already shot from Viktor’s palm into his chest.

Kaiden tried to tear it away. The cord burst against his gauntlet and spread around him, forming a red shell that forced his grip off Viktor’s arm.

"Kai!"
