Four felt her cheeks burn as embarrassment flooded her veins.

If there had been a hole nearby, she would've dived into it instantly.

She cursed herself silently-had she known Alex would hold such a fierce grudge, she never would have mocked him.

Nearby, Hugh groaned, slowly regaining consciousness.

He pushed himself upright, confusion etched across his face.

"Must've tripped over my own damn feet," he muttered.

Alex stared at him, eyes narrowed in disbelief.

Did this fool really not realize what had happened to him-the danger he was in? Or was his arrogance so thick it had blinded him?

Seeing Alex's silence, Hugh's lips twisted into a smug grin.

"What's the matter, kid? Cat got your tongue now that you've seen what real level- fifty power looks like? You'd better be shaking in your boots, boy!"

"You're nothing compared to me-like a bug under my boot."

"I'll toss you one measly chance: grovel at my feet and smash your skull against the floor. Maybe, just maybe, I'll grace you with my pity."

Alex shook his head slowly, pity mixed with disdain on his face.

"So what if you're level fifty? A superhuman with some fancy inner energy? You think you're special, tough guy?"

“Hate to break it to you, but you can be killed just as easy as any man. Wake up and face reality, idiot."

Hugh scoffed loudly, mocking laughter echoing across the space.

"Kill me? Boy, you really don't understand, do you? People like me appear once in a million—superhumans who break level fifty."

"I'm not just some nobody; I'm ranked top in the entire country! You think you can handle me?"
