"You... I can't believe that you're as strong as an ox!" the tallest man sighed with amazement. It was not until now that he became aware of who Rocky really was. In fact, Rocky had been concealing his formidable strength and was good enough not to let anyone know what he was capable of. The tallest man even turned pale in a split second. On the contrary, he tried to pull his fist that Rocky was gripping so tightly. However, at the same time, he felt something strange as he looked at his arm and saw that it was on fire. To add salt into an injury, the fire looked peculiar and sharp as it displayed interlacing black and red lines.
"Ouch! That freaking hurts!" The man suddenly felt like his arm was being roasted over hungry raging flames. In fact, the pain was so excruciating that he wished for death at that very moment. His skin melted, which then seared at a fast rate. Being cooked alive, a smell of barbecue began to float in the air. Shaking his arm as quickly as he could, the man attempted to fight and put out the fire. Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tried, he still failed.
And just like that, his entire arm suddenly became deformed and burned, like it was not a part of his body anymore. Looking like a withered tree trunk, there was no trace of blood whatsoever. It was burnt so bad that only a little residual muscle and bones were left.
The witnesses, on the other hand, had their mouths agape as they saw what had just happened. All of their stomachs went topsy turvy at the sight of such a very gruesome event that some of them felt the need to throw up.
Meanwhile, Laney, who was standing behind Rocky, looked sullen and pale from what she had just seen. Swinging her head from side to side, she tried to avoid seeing the man's burnt arm.
The sissy was also scared as he felt chills down his spine. At that very moment, he knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Sir, please, I beg you. Have mercy on me! I know that I am wrong!" the tallest man pleaded as he asked for forgiveness and pardon. Weak to his core, his legs had given away, forcing him to get down on his knees to plead once more. Looking pale as dead, he wet his pants out of fright.
"Mr. Bai, please let him go! He's no better than a servant," Laney said in the softest voice possible as she intervened with Rocky for the man. Being softhearted and kind by nature, she was not able to stomach the sight of a person suffering.
"You're too gracious, you know?. Since he bears the candle to the devil, he has to be racked with pain for what he has done," Rocky said, as he turned his back to have a closer look at Laney. Despite their disagreement in words, he gave a grunt and waved one of his arms all of a sudden, as if he didn't want to do it in the first place. Immediately, the fire on the man's arm suddenly came to a halt.
"Go away! Never let me see you anywhere near me ever again!" Rocky replied as he gave the tall man one last frosty stare.
Petrified and trembling like a leaf from head to toe, the tall man crawled and tumbled on the ground as fast as he could while he held his deformed arm.
Seeing that two of his henchmen were unconscious, and the other one displaying a clean pair of heels, the sissy became frightened to death as he broke into cold swear. It was not until now that he completely understood his mistake—he should have never made Rocky's hackle rise.
Simultaneously, Rocky's eyes landed on the sissy, too. The sissy felt goose bumps of fear on his skin as he saw Rocky's icy stare full of killing intent.
"You bastard! How could you possibly dare to find the courage to hurt and wound my men? Do you know who I am? My father is the prefect of Evian City! You have eyes, yes, but it's such a pity that you refuse to be conscious of the influential people around here. You're doomed!" the sissy yelled at the top of his voice to Rocky as he refused to apologize or seek for Rocky's leniency despite the prevailing situation. Nevertheless, his eyes changed. Once shrouded in fear, his eyes now became confused as he had a lot of emotions mixed up in his brain.
"Excuse me, the prefect? Even if your father is the Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group, I would still beat your men, because all of you are entitled to it!" Rocky snorted at him in hatred.
"You... You..." The man was not able to complete his sentence as he pointed at Rocky with his finger. Bristling with frenzy, he swallowed that anger when it was still a fire-seed and forgot to drink something cool, which was the reason why it grew hot as any dragon had ever flamed. Despite all of the emotions that he was trying to figure out, one thing was still for certain—he couldn't do anything to Rocky.
"Back off! Out of my way! What's happening here? Why are you gathering in public? Do you all want to be put in prison?" A big-headed voice suddenly echoed in the air.
