The Love From Vengeance

131 TOUGH?

LUKE’S POV

The lights flickered to life, and the room was bathed in a bright glow. And there, standing in the center of the room, was a baldheaded man. He had a commanding presence, with his chiseled physique on full display and his shirtless form showing off his defined abs and chest. As he slipped on a pair of gloves, his gaze swept the room with purpose. He was also putting on a pair of cargo pants, completing his utilitarian look. It was clear that this man was ready for action.

The man’s intense gaze zeroed in on André and me, his expression filled with malice. He appeared to be a formidable creature, capable of crushing us with ease. However, I refused to be intimidated. I stood my ground, unafraid of his imposing presence.

Me: André. His mind—that was for me; I couldn’t talk about Andre. He had no idea what was going on in his mind, if he was terrified. But I knew we couldn’t show weakness in front of someone who exuded such dominance and power. So, I met the man’s eyes with so much confidence, glaring at him back. My mind told me this moment was not going to be a great one, but there was no option. We had to face it. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Okay, what do you think that’s up to?” Andre asked, glimpsing at me.

“I have no idea. But it’s definitely something not nice,” I answered, gazing at the terrifying man who was standing boldly in the room.

The man began to make his way towards us; his steps were measured and deliberate. His hands were balled into tight fists, and his expression was a mixture of anger and detestation, a face twisted into a fierce scowl, creating a terrifying visage.that would make someone begin to panic. Despite this, I

refused to flaunt fear and met his intense gaze with an unwavering one of my own. He was, without a doubt, a formidable figure, but I had no intention of behaving chicken–like in his presence.

“You two will be crushed into pieces!” He bellowed, and his tone was filled with intense fury as he pounded his fists together with such force that it seemed like they could shatter at any moment. His voice was like thunder, booming and spine -chilling. But despite his dreadful demeanor, I felt a sense of defiance, remaining unfazed. I wasn’t afraid of this man and his threats. I was ready to stand my ground and face whatever consequences may come. And I could tell Andre had the same thoughts as mine.

“I get the fact that you’re really scary. But let’s be real around here; if you’re

about to exchange blows, then this isn’t going to be a fair fight,” I told him.

He growled. “What do you mean?”

“Well, he’s trying to tell you that this fight isn’t going to be fair because our hands are tied,” Andre answered the fearsome man’s question.

“Exactly,” I spoke immediately. “So, if you think you’re that tough, we can show you how tough we are.”

He laughed. “Fools. Do you think I’m that dumb to fall for your stupid trick?”

“What trick?” Andre made a confused face.

“Yeah, what trick?” I also displayed the expression of playing along.

“The boss wants the both of you dead.”

“The boss?” Andre raised an eyebrow, still feigning his silly tone.

“Yeah, my mother,” I whispered to him, and he nodded.

“Shut up, both of you!” The man yelled, and we both turned to him. “I’m not taking those ropes off your hands. I’ll make sure the both of you perish in such a state.”

“Then you must be a coward,” I told him.

“What?” He made a puzzled face.

“Yes, you are a coward.”

“I’m a bo coward,” he argued.

“Then make this a fair fight. Unloose these ropes; let’s show you what we got.”

The man laughed. “The both of you don’t stand a chance against me.”

“What are you waiting for, then?” I smirked at him, raising my brows. “Remove those ropes from our grasp so we can severely strike you.”

“You think you’re going to beat me?”

“We don’t think,” Andre spoke leisurely, and the man and I looked at him right away. “We know.” He taunted.

“Oh, oh, that does it,” the baldheaded man said, and he walked to both of us. Both of you say you can beat me, right? Let’s see about that.”

He brought a knife out of his pocket and immediately cut the

I smirked at that very moment. “I never thought that was going to work.” “Say what now?” The man raised an eyebrow with a confused expression.

I mercilessly delivered a crushing blow to his vulnerable testicles. He howled in agony, but I didn’t stop there. With brutal force, I struck him again and again, not giving him a chance to catch his breath. His body recoiled in pain as I continued my relentless assault, hitting him with all my might. By the time I was done, he was left gasping for air, his manhood aching and bruised from my brutal attacks. I showed him no mercy, and he knew better than to mess with me again. He was an intimidating figure. My mother was stupid for sending this man to finish the job.

As I stood up, I couldn’t help but notice Andre’s shocked expression. He looked like he had just seen a ghost.

“What’s wrong?” I asked Andre, and he shook his head slowly, still in disbelief. He was acting like I had pulled off some impressive dance moves or something, but it was clear that I had caught him off guard. Knocking that man out so quickly was really unbelievable. Yeah, I couldn’t believe it myself. I thought I was going to battle for ages, but I guess I was wrong.

My eyes narrowed down to the knife that had fallen from the man’s hand the moment I struck him vigorously. I picked up the knife and went to cut the ropes off Andre’s hands. “You better get up. We need to find Ariel as soon as possible.”

“Yeah, I know that,” Andre said inaudibly as I helped him stand to his feet. ” Thanks, by the way.”

“It’s nothing,” I said, and I looked around. “Do you think Ariel might be in this place?”

“I have no idea. But there’s something I do know for sure.

“And what’s that?” I glanced at him.

Andre’s finger shook wildly as he gestured towards the towering figure, who was gradually rising from the ground. Some part of me was about to gulp in fear at the sight. But hell no! I was not going to be terrified.

We had to act fast before this man could fully stand on his feet. And it’s not like I was scared or anything. Okay, maybe a little. Wait, hold on. Don’t add me to the chicken list. I was just being cautious around here. You simply cannot predict what’s going to happen, just like how I took this man down so quickly.

“Uh, oh, it looks like that guy is planning to take us on a wild ride through the fiery pits of Hades,” Andre spoke, our eyes fixed on the baldheaded man in cargo pants.
