Aiden sneered. "Who are they then?"
One of the thugs shouted, "How dare you piss Aiden off? Boys, let's show these kids who's boss!"
Another added, "That's right! It's fate that we ran into them. Since the heavens want us to handle them, we can't go easy on them!"
Matthew, Benjamin, and Liam all lowered their heads in fear. None of them dared to say a word, all intimidated by the threats.
They were right to be afraid, and shrinking back was the smart move.
When facing opponents that can't be beaten, acting tough is pointless—it only leads to death.
However, I wasn't afraid of them.
It just needed a call from me to make them disappear. Even without that, I had other ways to deal with them.
Besides, I knew Quintus was nearby, watching over me.
If things got out of hand and danger arose, Quintus would step in. With him around, they would be no match for him even if they brought more people.
To my surprise, I wasn't the only one who wasn't afraid.
With a loud crash, Amy suddenly stood up.
"Are you done talking? Let me tell you something—this is Benjamin Carter from Welsington University. If you keep talking nonsense, I swear, one word from Ben and you'll all be leaving here in pieces!"
Honestly, I was shocked by her words. Though she was relying on Benjamin, she had the guts to stand up in front of all these people and challenge them. That took real courage.
