Chapter 698: Tommy swiftly grabbed the robotic arm from the table, hurling it at the man while yanking Brenna back, shielding her.

The man was hit by the arm but didn't retreat. Instead, he threw more of the liquid at Brenna with increasing frenzy.

Panic erupted-several visitors fled, and booth staff grabbed nearby objects, hurling them at the man. Tommy leaped onto a chair, got past the table, and quickly subdued the man.

The nearly empty bottle slipped from the man's grasp, and where the liquid had spilled, it hissed, releasing white smoke.

"Sulfuric acid!" Tommy instantly identified the substance. Had it struck Brenna, the damage would have been catastrophic.

The man's sunglasses were shattered, his head bleeding.

Enraged, Tommy snatched the bottle and poured its remaining contents onto the man's face.

A harsh sizzling sound followed as the acid ravaged the man's skin, disfiguring half his face. Staff from the booth rushed over, shouting, "Mr. McCoy, your clothes-there's acid on them!" Only then did Tommy realize the searing pain in his right shoulder.

As others called the police and restrained the attacker, Tommy shed his coat, revealing jagged holes eaten through the fabric. His undershirt was similarly damaged, with irregular burn patterns. After removing it, he saw the acid had only scorched the surface of his skin, leaving it red.

His clothing had absorbed most of the acid's destructive force; he had been lucky.

The attacker was still screaming, drawing a crowd of onlookers.

Tommy exhaled heavily and turned to Brenna. "Brenna, are you okay?" Brenna examined herself and replied, "I'm unharmed. Let's get you to the hospital; I'll leave this to the team.” Real text from www_galnovt|lsA nearby colleague offered Tommy his coat. "Take this. You two go to the hospital; we'll handle things here." Brenna looked at Patrick, reluctant to leave him behind. "Patrick, why don't you cwith us to the hospital?" Patrick shook his head. "No, I want to stay and see the expo. Don't worry, Brenna. I'll stay with Lorna and behave." Lorna quickly asked, "Brenna, should I go with you to the hospital or stay here with Patrick?"

Brenna thought for a moment. "Stay and look after him. I'll take Tommy to the hospital myself."

Tommy tried to downplay it. "Brenna, I don't need a hospital visitats just a stight burn, be fine." Brenna was resolute. "No chance. Acid burns are serious. We're going." Unable to dissuade her, Tommy had no choice but to comply.

At the hospital, Brenna was surprised to find the burn unit overwhelmed. Several doctors were hurrying to the emergency room. Apparently, a prominent figure had just been admitted after a sulfuric acid attack to the face.
