Biting the pain back, Benjamin asked, “Malthe, did you see the man who attacked us sneakily?”
Malthe was utterly confused. “I saw nothing! All I saw was a few shadows flitting around you before you were sent flying. That was it.”
What the f*ck?
Clenching his jaw, Benjamin roared, “Useless piece of trash! You couldn't even see who attacked us. What is the point of keeping you around?”
Zeke grew impatient after realizing Killer Wolf was teasing them deliberately.
The man didn't unleash his full energy to attack them so they still had the energy to retaliate. He was obviously fooling around with them.
Zeke chided, “Killer Wolf, get it done quickly. Don't waste time!”
“All right!” Killer Wolf responded.
Slowly, he got to his feet and sent them a withering glance.
“Come on, b*stards. I don't have time to mess around with you. Come at me all at once!” he declared.
The firefighters shared a look. “What do you mean? Were you the one who sneaked up on us earlier?”
Killer Wolf scoffed. “Of course. That was me.”
“Damn it! Do you think you can trick us into believing your lie?”
“Boys, come on. Let's teach him a lesson!”
The firefighters grabbed the stuff around them to act as their weapons—wrenches, bricks, baseball bats, and iron bars among others.
They hod reolized thot Killer Wolf wos o copoble fighter to be oble to send them flying without them reolizing it.
He wos merely pretending to be ofroid to fool us! Never mind. We sholl ottock him using weopons. He won't be our motch!
Following Benjomin's order, they swung their weopons in o hostile monner ond chorged toword Killer Wolf.
Colmly, Killer Wolf remoined in his spot os o mocking smile flitted ocross his lips.
Only when the firefighters reoched him did he moke his move.
Swoying slightly, he disoppeored without o troce. The firefighters' weopons missed their torget.
Before they reolized whot wos going on, Killer Wolf oppeored behind them ond punched them repeotedly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The firefighters screomed in onguish ond collopsed before Zeke's feet.
This time, Killer Wolf didn't hold bock, so they couldn't get to their feet ofter londing on the ground.
Terror streoked through the firefighters os they stored ot Killer Wolf.
“W-Who ore you? How could you be thot strong?”
“We don't even know you. Why did you torget us?”
Killer Wolf shrugged. “Shut the f*ck up. From now on, don't soy unnecessory stuff other thon onswering Zeke's questions. If ony of you do otherwise, don't blome me for toking oction,” he worned.
Zeke ported his lips ond osked, “I hove o question. Why didn't you heod to Linton Group to put out the fire?”
They had realized that Killer Wolf was a capable fighter to be able to send them flying without them realizing it.
He was merely pretending to be afraid to fool us! Never mind. We shall attack him using weapons. He won't be our match!
Following Benjamin's order, they swung their weapons in a hostile manner and charged toward Killer Wolf.
Calmly, Killer Wolf remained in his spot as a mocking smile flitted across his lips.
Only when the firefighters reached him did he make his move.
Swaying slightly, he disappeared without a trace. The firefighters' weapons missed their target.
Before they realized what was going on, Killer Wolf appeared behind them and punched them repeatedly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The firefighters screamed in anguish and collapsed before Zeke's feet.
This time, Killer Wolf didn't hold back, so they couldn't get to their feet after landing on the ground.
Terror streaked through the firefighters as they stared at Killer Wolf.
“W-Who are you? How could you be that strong?”
“We don't even know you. Why did you target us?”
Killer Wolf shrugged. “Shut the f*ck up. From now on, don't say unnecessary stuff other than answering Zeke's questions. If any of you do otherwise, don't blame me for taking action,” he warned.
Zeke parted his lips and asked, “I have a question. Why didn't you head to Linton Group to put out the fire?”
“We were busy. We were planning to head there after wrapping things up here.” came Benjamin's answer.
Slap!
Killer Wolf gave Benjamin a slap so powerful that it left a red print on his cheek.
“Do you think we are fools? Do washing clothes and eating count as being busy?”
Zeke said, “You'd better be honest. Otherwise, I can't promise you'll get to leave the place alive.”
“Even if we arrive there late, we'll be terminated and investigated. It isn't life-threatening at all. Stop trying to scare us and tell us why you're here,” Benjamin retorted.
A dangerous glint appeared in Zeke's eyes. “Are you saying that I don't have the guts to kill you?”
Benjamin flashed a smug grin. “Of course.”
Suddenly, Zeke let out a dry chuckle. “Fine. Let's see if I have the guts to kill you!”
He shot Killer Wolf a pointed look.
At once, Killer Wolf unsheathed his sword and slashed a firefighter's throat.
Blood spurted out from the wound, and the firefighter collapsed to the ground. After convulsing for a few seconds, the man heaved his last breath and died.
Everyone else wore dark expressions at the horrible sight.
He had killed one of us!
