They were either groaning in pain or lying there unconscious.
Philip scoured the area around him. Though the sheer number of people Shawn had brought along frightened him, he did not reveal those emotions in front of them. He picked himself up and strove to remain calm as he spoke,"You cannot harm me, not unless you want to offend Aaron. He said he would assure my safety on this island."
It was true that no one would dare oppose Aaron, whether on QY Island or any other place. That was also one of the reasons why Philip went more rampant. His auction exchange was also in many ways under Aaron's protection.
Shawn smiled wickedly at him and in a split second, that smile faded away as if a snowstorm blew over and left everything behind frozen. "All you need to know is that no one would live once Brian decides that he wants them dead," he said furiously.
In an instant, Shawn leapt up from the ground and kicked Philip square in the face. Reflexively, Philip crossed his arms over his head to protect his face from the blow. Shawn used his crossed arms as support for his one leg as he took a brisk turn in the air and kicked straight at Philip's chest with his other leg.
Philip regained his footing after taking several steps backwards. He felt a warm, rusty smell wafting in his mouth and a thin stream of blood appeared from the corner of his mouth and trickled along his chin.
Shawn watched Philip in disgust,"I hate it the most when someone tries to intimidate me," he said defiantly.
Shawn swooped forward for a second strike. And Philip, after receiving his first hit, was now wary and annoyed. The two men instantly went into a severe tussle, they shattered and destroyed each other under the deathly stillness of the night that echoed the rustling of the hollow noise.
The brawl went on for about twenty minutes, till Shawn got bored and decided to end it. While Philip was still struggling to avoid being hit, Shawn swiftly reached out and thrust his fist towards Philip and punched him in the temple.
"Argh! Umph!"
Philip shrieked out in pain. And finally, he fell. A gust of blood shot out of his mouth and made an arc in the air as he collapsed. He convulsed severely on the ground and his blood spraying out continuously from his mouth, drenching the ground around him. His entrails were damaged, his ribs were broken and that in turn hurt his liver.
Gradually, his eyes lost their last flare of light, slowly fading away until it was completely extinguished. He would have never in his life imagined that his last day on earth would end like this and that his life would be taken by such a man.
Shawn stooped down and looked scornfully at Philip, who laid there with blood still gushing out and spreading around his body. "Dump them in the sea and feed this man to the sharks. Clean this mess! I don't want to see a speck of blood in this place," he said, in a steady, emotionless tone.
