His current appearance was not his original look.
He simply mimicked the physical features of earthlings, transforming into the appearance of a human from Earth.
Initially, he interacted with Adrunians, and later, he came to Aploth to find Nathan.
Throughout the journey, he continuously learned and imitated the actions and appearances of the humans he encountered. Ultimately, he transformed into his current appearance, a hybrid Aplothian and Adrunian man.
At that moment, he lifted his hand to check the device on his wrist that resembled a watch. It displayed the coordinates of Nathan's location, sent to him by the spaceship.
The key person he was looking for, Nathan, was inside the restaurant before his eyes.
Hence, he was about to barge in.
“Stop!” Colin shouted. “Don't blame me for not warning you, I am the Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison in Brimmopolis, and also the Captain of the President Cross' soldiers. This area is temporarily requisitioned. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. If you insist on barging in, I'll have no choice but to treat you as a suspicious terrorist.”
In other words, Colin could apprehend or even kill him on the spot.
If ordinary people were to hear that Nathan was dining in a restaurant that was guarded by the National Guard, they would certainly know better and leave on their own accord.
Sirius didn't care about that, though.
He looked indifferently at Colin, Ava, and the others and uttered in a voice as cold as a robot's, “Who do you think you are? You're puny creatures. How dare you obstruct the path of a Demigod?”
Colin and Ava exchanged glances and looked at each other dubiously.
Colin ran out of patience, so he waved his hand and commanded, “Arrest him first, then we'll talk.”
“Yes!”
Immediately, Quinten and Octo of the Elite Eight stepped forward in response. They approached the mysterious man standing before them, one from the left and the other from the right.
Whoosh!
Quinten and Octo both suddenly accelerated, darting toward Sirius with speed reaching the ultimate limit.
The people around could only see two blurred afterimages rushing toward Sirius.
Smack!
Smack!
Quinten and Octo appeared on either side of Sirius, each gripping one of his arms.
Just like that, they successfully apprehended Sirius.
