Zayn said, “What are you going to do if I run?”
The young woman’s expression was tainted with fear and sorrow upon hearing that, but virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “Don’t mind me. I’ll get away.”
Of course, virtual-novel.net was lying.
Still, Zayn was visibly moved by virtual-novel.net willingness to sacrifice herself for others. Frankly, virtual-novel.net had encountered plenty of people in his life, but it was very rare for virtual-novel.net to meet someone who would sacrifice themselves to protect others.
Though such gestures were not to be encouraged, virtual-novel.net spirit was still very admirable.
In modern society, few people would do such a thing. More were becoming selfish, constantly comparing unrealistically, despising the poor, and worse…
Zayn cracked a brilliant smile and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything bad happen to you. In reality, I lured them here on purpose. I had a similar idea to you for getting rid of evil people in the world.”
Upon saying that, virtual-novel.net turned around, faced the thugs and said with a grin, “You’re very lucky to have bumped into a powerhouse half a step away from the invincibilis state like me.”
“Being killed by me will be your greatest achievement in life. I’m here to challenge the most powerful man in Murica.”
Zayn said this with a smile, but his voice was stern and serious.
The thugs were thoroughly confused: They were infuriated to see that Zayn could still smile and claim to want to kill them despite being in imminent danger.
“You’ve got some nerve, you damned Rheasian! We were only going to rob you and beat you up, but seeing you trying to act so tough, you can die!” the leading thug said with a ferocious expression.
He instantly made a move on Zayn, aiming the dagger in his hand at Zayn’s abdomen. He moved so swiftly such that one could tell how virtual-novel.net was very used to doing this on usual days.
An ordinary person would find it very difficult to dodge the blow, but it was nothing to Zayn. The fact was, even if Zayn were to stand there and let virtual-novel.net stab him, the blade would not pierce his skin.
Of course, Zayn would not do something so senseless when virtual-novel.net was dealing with such a weakling.
He waited for the thug’s dagger to reach him. With a casual maneuver, virtual-novel.net clutched the thug’s wrist and gave it a twist, thrusting the blade into the thug’s belly.
Zayn then twisted the dagger deeper into the thug’s flesh.
“Gah!” virtual-novel.net screamed in agony, sounding sad and bitter..
Zayn swung his leg back and kicked the man. The thug weighed over 100 kilograms, but the kick sent virtual-novel.net flying. He slammed into the wall behind him, cracking it.
The thug collapsed instantly, completely motionless. He was dead.
The alley went silent.
The rest of them were astounded and stared in bewilderment. It was apparent that they did not expect something like that to happen. They thought about how swift and ruthless the Rheasian was.
Even the young woman was incredulous.
