The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 122

Silas didn't seem to move quickly at all.

He simply pivoted slightly on his feet, his entire body flowing with a strange, ancient rhythm. His wide white sleeves carved a perfect arc through the humid summer air.

The man was still laughing, his heavy features bunched together in an even deeper sneer.

However—

Thump.

The dull impact sounded like a ripe watermelon smashing onto the pavement from a great height, or a heavy wooden door slamming shut in a gale.

The moment Silas's fist connected with the man's stomach, Mika watched the father's face contort into something monstrous.

His eyes bulged, his mouth stretched into a comical 'O', and before the mockery could even fade from his features, it was torn away by excruciating agony.

The two-hundred-pound man flew backward like a kite with a snapped string, his feet leaving the ground entirely.

With a deafening crash, he slammed into the kindergarten's metal gate. The entire row of iron bars rattled wildly as he slid down onto the concrete like a puddle of sludge.

"Dad!"

The little boy shrieked, rushing over to pull at his father.

But the massive man was clutching his stomach, his face stark white as he gasped violently for air.

He was curled into a tight ball, looking like a boiled shrimp. Weird, guttural wheezes ripped from his throat, and cold sweat instantly soaked his temples.

He tried to push himself up, but his arms trembled like jelly. Barely an inch off the ground, he collapsed right back down with a heavy thud.

Mika stood frozen, her small mouth hanging open in shock.

Silas slowly pulled back his fist, letting his white sleeve drop, and instantly returned to looking like a frail, skinny old man.

He looked down, taking Mika's small hand again, and used his thumb to wipe a lingering teardrop from her cheek.

His voice was raspy but held a hint of unmistakable smugness.

"See? I told you he could only take one of Grandpa's punches."

With that, he glanced up at the twitching man on the ground and scoffed.
