Zayn took out a pistol and said angrily, "You're gonna die first then."
As he spoke, he turned the safety off and was about to pull the trigger when The Fiend threw the dagger, cutting through the air with a whizz and piercing through Zayn's right hand that was holding the gun.
Zayn couldn't help but groan as the pistol in his right hand fell to the ground.
The Fiend strode over and said with a wicked grin on his face, "Mr. Parry told me to greet you nicely and let you enjoy some pain before I end you once and for all."
He then broke Zayn's left arm with a crack.
Crack!
The Fiend then proceeded to break Zayn's right arm and legs.
Zayn's face was distorted with pain, while the muscles on his face were trembling.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I dare you to kill me!"
The Fiend pulled out the dagger from Zayn's right wrist and said with an evil grin, "As you wish!"
He was ready to end Zayn's life.
But at that time, two men in suits suddenly appeared not far away—they were Number Three and Number Four from Elite Eight!
It turned out that Colin and the Elite Eight had put the area around Jade Hotel— where Nathan and his family were staying —under strict surveillance to prevent David from coming to cause trouble again. Therefore, they knew about everything that had happened in the surrounding.
The Fiend's killing spree near the Jade Hotel had attracted the attention of Number Three and Number Four, who were in charge of security in that area.
Number Three and Number Four had seen the car, the several corpses lying on the ground, and The Fiend who was about to kill Zayn from a distance.
Shocked and furious, the two of them shouted together, "Stop it!”
The Fiend looked up and flashed a wicked smile at Number Three and Number Four before he slit Zayn's throat with his dagger.
With his eyes widened in shock, Number Three took out a pistol from behind, aimed at The Fiend, and directly fired his gun.
With great agility, The Fiend actually escaped by dashing into an alley nearby.
Number Three burned with rage, wanting to go after him.
Yet, Number Four stopped him. "This man is a cruel and skilled fighter. It won't be easy to go after him. We'd better save Zayn first."
