Liam had been still too long. Too numb. The weight pressing against his chest had turned to something else now—hot, wild, and untamed. Anger. Fury. Not just at the natives or the battles, but at the truth. At everything they'd gone through. At the deaths. At the lie they had all been sold by Nexus Corp. The betrayal. The horror. The senselessness of it all.
And now… the giant knelt before him.
The colossus that had nearly killed him, that had smashed Eleanor into a hut, whose roars had filled the place with terror… was powerless now. Bloodied. Beaten. His massive hands trembled by his sides. His body heaved with each breath. His head hung low, waiting for whatever fate Liam would choose for him.
