Fade did not wait for the elevator. Instead, he bolted down the stairs at top speed.
He rushed to the entrance of the adjacent building just in time to see a helmeted man stopping nearby on a motorcycle.
A hooded man rushed out of the building nervously. He ran towards the helmeted man on the motorcycle with some camera equipment with him.
"Oh, you have accomplices? You two must be professionals!" Fade snorted and shouted at them, "Stop!"
The duo was startled and revved up the motorcycle swiftly.
Evidently, the motorcycle was modified and it sped away at an alarming speed, putting over ten meters between them and Fade.
The hooded man, Jackie, was relieved after managing to get on the motorcycle. He turned over his shoulder and planned to point a middle finger at Fade.
To his dismay, Fade was hot on their tails.
Fade was running but he was way faster than the motorcycle. In a few seconds, he managed to catch up to the motorcycle.
Jackie was shocked. He patted the rider on the back and urged, "Hurry up, Nick, he's catching up."
Nick floored the gas pedal and the motorcycle revved into a frenzy.
However, they did not put any distance between Fade.
Eventually, Fade was just an arm away from the motorcycle. He grabbed the tail of the motorcycle and heaved his arm backward forcefully.
Jackie was astounded as he stared at Fade. Jackie yelled, "Grabbing a motorcycle with your bare hands? Are you crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
However, Jackie was bewildered when something unimaginable happened.
The motorcycle stopped in its tracks. The tires screeched against the road and left behind a trail of soot. However, it could not break free from Fade's grasp.
"This... You..." Jackie was dumbfounded. "He stopped the motorcycle singlehandedly? Is he even human?"
Jackie was thunderstruck as Fade gave a sharp tug. Fade flung the duo on the ground with the motorcycle.
They were sent flying and crashed into a nearby tree. They cried out in pain.
The bike was in a sorry state. It was shattered to pieces as it collided with a stone bench.
The duo winced in pain and got up from the bushes. They tried to run away but Fade thwarted them. He kicked them swiftly and they landed on the ground again. He interrogated them coldly, "Were you the one who took photos earlier?"
The duo exchanged meaningful glances and denied it.
"What photos? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You assaulted us. We'll call the cops."
Fade glared at them and scoffed, "Playing dumb?"
