A six–foot–five man walked forward and gave William a look of mockery. “This ain’t the place to talk sh*t punk.” he roared. Then, he raised his right leg and swung it down with great speed and force.

His companions cheered him on, imagining William getting knocked out from the kick. However, William extended his hand to grab the man’s leg. To everyone’s surprise, the kick did not land. Instead, the man’s leg hung in mid–air, held by William.

Beads of sweat formed on the man’s forehead. It felt like a steel pincer was holding his leg, and it hurt. He tried to push his leg down, but William didn’t even budge.

“Oh, please, there are at least five openings I can exploit.” William tightened his grip.

The bones in the man’s legs were crushed, and his calf bent at an unnatural angle. He let out a scream, and all color was drained from his face. William held him by his broken leg and easily tossed him across the air. The man slammed into a poker table, shattering it into pieces.

Silence fell upon the room, and the remaining men Leila pointed out took a step back. They felt fear filling their hearts. William stared at them. “Come here.”

The men didn’t move, and the man behind the desk said darkly, “I know you’re a decent fighter, but you’re in Asopus. This isn’t your playground.”

I beg to differ. William easily closed in on the men and attacked them, but no one saw how he did it. All they heard was a crack, and the men’s knees were crushed. Pain filled their bodies, and they fell to the floor, howling.

William approached them and crushed a few more of their joints. The screams coming from his victims were hair–raising, and the man behind the desk shouted, “That’s just going too far!”

William said calmly, “You have ten minutes. Call your reinforcements.” After he said that, he ignored the man and approached Leila. Calmly, he said, “Tell me how your brother died.”

The mention of Dorian made Leila tear up, and she was inconsolable. She managed to calm down only after some time and told William the whole story.
