Rebuild World #8

Plot

Akira has narrowly escaped the relic thieves’ second attempt on his life, but their deadly cyborg ringleaders have pinned him down in a ruined skyscraper. The blade-wielding Nelia moves in for the kill, forcing the young relic hunter to do battle on her terms—and out of his depth. And even if he ekes out a victory, the ominous Kain is waiting outside with enough firepower to vaporize him in a heartbeat. Once again, Akira’s only hope is to trust the wiley Alpha’s schemes—and to fight like hell. Meanwhile, the city authorities have finally caught on to the heist in progress, and one young hunter’s life seems like a small price to pay to save face. When they make their move, can Akira expect to be rescued—or executed?
