Chapter 264

There was a deafening silence in the private room a quiet so intense it could've shattered glass.

Shock had stolen every word from their tongues; the spectacle they'd just witnessed had left them stunned, breathless.

Moments ago, Shane stood tall as their hero, an idol of raw streng, strutting like a champion but now he lay sprawled on the floor, beaten and discarded like a mangy dog.

Every soul in the room jolted in shock.

twisting it downward with merciless strength.

Bones snapped audibly, like dry twigs underfoot.

"Who the fuck are you?!" the brute howled in agony, his arrogance shattered.
