After putting down the stretcher, one of the guards took his white gloves out and threw them aside. He said emotionlessly, "We knew that Dragonshade Society would be holding a gathering here. My boss asked us to give you a huge gift."
Although he spoke politely, not a single person was pleased by his words. They had come in and sent his men flying. It was a sign that they hadn't come in peace. This "gift" probably wasn't anything nice!
Arthur hissed through his teeth, "You must be the only person who's so cowardly when gifting a gift. Jerry, show him the consequences of breaking the rules of Dragonshade Society!"
"Yes, Sir."
Jerry, who'd just been fighting with me, immediately turned and advanced toward the man in the suit.
He stood there motionlessly, watching as Jerry approached.
Once Jerry advanced into his personal space, Jerry punched at him like he did me. However, he then froze.
The man had used his left hand to catch Jerry's fist.
Jerry's face was flushed red. He mustered all his strength trying to go on the offensive. Yet, his hand was grabbed so tightly he couldn't even move! Indeed, capable people were terrifying.
Jerry couldn't hold a flame to this man's power.
Yet, Jerry was considered one of the most powerful men in Dragonshade Society.
In their short moment of conflict, the man quickly figured out where Jerry's limits were. He couldn't help but smirk disdainfully.
"That's it?"
He twisted Jerry's fist in the other direction using his left hand.
Jerry's eyes widened in fear. He protested hurriedly, "No … Don't…"
