Eric glanced at the dead man's body for a moment and thought about doing something to it, but ultimately decided against it and began dragging Celeste's unconscious body out of the penthouse instead.
Honestly, he really wanted to loot the dead man's body, especially since he knew what kind of armor the man was carrying, but the toxin that had been released into the penthouse was still lingering in the air, and Eric could feel his body growing heavier with each passing minute despite trying to not inhale any of it or move at all when the man had first revealed himself.
As Eric dragged Celeste across the ground however, he thought back to what he had told her during the fight.
In the novel, Aurora more often than not came across villains who were stronger than her, whether in terms of raw strength or overall power, when she met them for the first time.
