The time from Menkel's punch to his death was less than a second. In fact, apart from Severin's hand coming down on his head, he did not even come in contact with any other parts of Severin's body.
"Oh my god! Mick, what should we do now? Menkel is dead!" All the elders from the Mus Hall were trembling with fear. They would be next in line now that Menkel was dead.
Only Lauren was excited to see Menkel lying dead on the ground; so excited was she that she almost jumped up and down on the very spot she was standing on. "Yay! Menkel is finally dead. Hooray! That kid is awesome!"
Mick was a little embarrassed by her behavior. He frowned and questioned her, "Why are you so happy? Menkel's death means all of us, even if we were to attack at the same time, are no match for that kid!"
"Don't worry, Mick. He won't do anything to us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen Menkel as his first opponent." Lauren reassured him with a smile.
The others were confused. They had no idea what Lauren was talking about. At that moment, Severin walked over to Candy. He untied her and took out the fabric that was stuffed into her mouth.
"Supreme Leader, you're so strong! I'm in awe of you," said Candy excitedly as soon as the fabric was out of her mouth.
"Supreme Leader? What's going on here?" Mick and the other elders became even more confused at how the situation was playing out.
Lauren smiled. "Mick, meet the Supreme Leader of Dracodeus Temple."
"What!" gasped everyone, wondering if they had heard wrong. Never did they expect the kidnapper would actually be Severin, the Supreme Leader of Dracodeus Temple.
