Blaze and his three other counterparts arrived at a very large and desolated house, and one of them carried an unconscious Irene towards a chair that was already reserved for her.The man carrying Irene set her down on the chair and used zip ties to tie each of her wrist to each of the chair’s arms, and then tied her legs together at the ankles.During this process, Irene stirred awake, and she blinked a few times to get accustomed to her surroundings, once she did, she gasped, startled to discover she had being tied down to a chair.“W-what is this?” Irene stammered in a terrified voice. “Please let me go! I just got discharged from the hospital some days ago, and I’m still recovering from my illness! Please don’t do this!”Blaze’s arms were folded as he watched her struggle with her restraints, desperate to break free. He tilted his head for a moment before taking a step towards her.“You don’t need to worry, ma’am,” Blaze began calmly, as though he was trying to pacify a child. “No
Adrian was momentarily disoriented by the plastic bag that was suddenly placed over his head, but he instantly regained control of his senses and assessed the situation. He closed his eyes, imagining the attacker behind him, and due to the amount of force used in holding the bag tight on his head, it seemed the attacker was using both of his hands. In a swift counter move, Adrian immediately dropped his weight, creating some space between him and the attacker. This made the unsuspecting attacker, do a double take in surprise. “Stay put you sleaze ball. You think you can—” That attacker couldn’t finish his sentence because Adrian suddenly struck the radial nerve on his forearms with his elbow, causing him to hiss and relax his grip. Using this momentary distraction to his advantage, Adrian threw his head back in a reverse headbutt that made the attacker stumble as he clutched his now broken nose. While the attacker was still stunned, Adrian removed the plastic bag from his
Blaze was beyond flabbergasted as he took in the scene of his twenty four counterparts lying unconscious on the ground. His gaze flickered between the sprawled out bodies and Adrian multiple times and his mind swirled with all kinds of questions. Who was this guy? How had he been able to single handedly take out twenty four well trained martial artists when he looked like he couldn’t crush a bug? Who trained him? Blaze knew of an ancient Chinese martial arts grandmaster who trained people to become unbeatable fighters, but that was a long time ago and the scroll containing his secret techniques had been lost for generations. According to everything he had heard and learned, the grandmaster’s trainees had a unique way of fighting that made them impossible to defeat, and with the way Adrian just fought, it reminded him of the fighting styles of those trainees. Could it be possible that Adrian was…? ‘No,’ he shook his head adamantly. It couldn’t be possible. Those skills
As soon as Adrian retracted his hand to land a final blow on Blaze, his eyes widened in panic and he frantically waved his two hands in front of him as a gesture of surrender. “No, no, wait…I yield! I yield! Please don’t kill me! I have a wife and children who depend on me!” Adrian tilted his head in momentary surprise before his expression turned unreadable. “Oh? Didn’t you also consider how my family would feel if I was gone? You didn’t seem hesitant to end me, now you want me to have mercy on you? Is that fair?” “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Blaze yelled out, sounding short of breath as he coughed out a bit of blood. “I was just really upset that you had defeated me in our first encounter. I felt humiliated and I wanted to retaliate. And my boss’s orders solidified my desire to take you out.” Adrian didn’t look the bit bothered at Blaze’s pleas. He was in no mood to show him any form of mercy, especially because he had dragged his mother into his vendetta. “It’s too late for any f
Anita had a giddy smile on her face as she drove into the driveway of her grandfather’s mansion. As soon as he pulled over to a stop at an open parking spot, she grabbed her contract and stepped out of her car, eager to give Grandpa Lloyd the good news. She walked past Nathan’s grey Mustang, but thought nothing of it as she headed into the mansion. On getting inside the living room, she was greeted with the sight of Nathan seated with Grandpa Lloyd and Grandma Esther, each person wearing a wide grin on their face. Her brows piqued with interest as she cleared her throat to make her presence known. The laughter died down as the three individuals simultaneously turned to her. Nathan’s expression was a smirk, Grandpa Lloyd’s expression was neutral, while Grandma Esther let out a tight lipped smile. “Anita, long time no see,” she called out. “What brings you here?” The smirk that had been threatening to come out on Nathan’s face finally surfaced as his eyes darted between Anita
Ethan and Liam were celebrating their win against Adrian when the doorbell of Liam’s penthouse suite rung.Their celebration was cut short as they both exchanged questioning glances. “Are you expecting anyone?” Ethan asked Liam as he kept his glass down on the table.Liam frowned for a bit as he tried to remember if he was expecting anyone, but he came up short. Just as Liam stood up to check who was at the door, Ethan’s phone rang, and it was Blaze who was calling.Ethan swiped across his phone to answer the call, and brought it to his ear. “Boss, the mission has been completed successfully,” Blaze’s voice rang through the other side. “That guy Adrian is history. Please tell Mr. Liam to open up his door, I’m the one pressing the doorbell.”Ethan’s lips stretched into a satisfied grin as Blaze relayed the good news to him. He hung up the call, and turned to Liam, who still stood in the middle of his living room, contemplating if he should open the door or not. “It’s Blaze. You can
By the time Ethan and Liam woke up again, they found themselves tied up to two pillars that faced each other. Ethan struggled against the sturdy rope that was used to tie his hands behind the pillar as a wave of panic washed over him like a torrent.“Hey! What is going on, Blaze!” He yelled out as he continued struggling against his restraints. He winced as the ropes dug further into his wrist, alighting cutting through the skin.“How dare you betray me!” He continued yelling. “Have you forgotten who my family is? So you want to die?!”Liam’s head was hung low, but he raised it up at the sound of Ethan’s angry voice, and his eyes sparked with anger towards Blaze.“Release us now, Blaze! Or I’ll make sure your life is a living hell in the city as soon as I get out of here!”“Shut the hell up!” A voice suddenly thundered, making the remaining of Ethan and Liam’s words to die in their throats. One of Blaze’s martial arts brothers, suddenly appeared in between Ethan and Liam, his eyes d
“Aargh!” Ethan screamed at the top of his voice as he felt his shoulder bones shatter. The intensity of the pain made him tremble involuntarily and before he could control his bladder, it let loose, and a foul stench permeated the air.Adrian grimaced as the nauseating stench of urine wafted through his nostrils, and the disgust he felt made him apply more pressure into the already broken spot in Ethan’s shoulder that his fingers were jabbed into.The sound of bones cracking could be heard as Ethan let out another scream, this one sounding extremely strangled and raw. “It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop!” He cried out, his voice cracking with intense pain.Adrian could feel the waves of pain that surged from Ethan’s shoulder down to his toes. If he wanted to, he could easily press the right points to stop the pain, but he wouldn’t do that. The main point was for Ethan to suffer the pain.“You’ve peed yourself and I haven’t even gotten started,” Adrian scolded, his voice neutral. “You’re
