Crushed

The remaining four lackeys attacked aggressively. One of them jumped in air throwing a punch towards Hedrick's face but was intercepted midway as his feet were kicked causing him to lose balance and crush heavily into the ground with his face buried in. The remaining three stopped midway their attacks and set up a group formation. One of them attacked with a jumping side kick, the kick was swift and neat but too bad his luck this time had run out. Hedrick agilely dodged the kick and moved the side and with the other hand pulled the fella down onto his friend making the backs of their heads to hit heavily against each other. He then raised his leg and stomped him heavily right into his face and then twisted his foot causing some of the skin to peel off. On his face was a large shoe print with blood flowing out of the wounds. It was worst the the one below for his face was being crushed against the gravel. Another's fist was grabbed and then pulled hitting him hard in the chest causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood and this continued until about three punches were delivered followed by a kick in the face. The last was in a daze, when he saw that he was the only one remaining. He felt regret, danger, sorrow and all bad things they used to do.

" You can go. I Know you are too weak to fight. Just get lost quickly before I change my mind." said Hedrick.

The boy was in a daze before he kowtowed three times and hurriedly ran off into the crowd of people.Ibo Chen noticed strange faces looking at him. It was like everyone was looking at him with pitiful facial expressions.He then turned his head only to find Hedrick staring in the direction of his home.

" Young mistress, what do you think will happen to Ibo Chen?" asked the maid,Nina.

" I'm not sure. That boys seems unpredictable. He can change all his motives in a second. Totally unpredictable I can say." the girl dressed in white in the tavern analysed.

Nina thought about the statements for a while but could not make actual sense out of them and just nodded in the end. Hedrick slowly moved towards Ibo Chen with his hands behind his back.

" You...what are you going to do? My brother is a top student at Skyfall Academy." said Ibo Chen in a timid voice.

" Skyfall Academy..." Hedrick posed for a while like he was thinking of something.

"What! Now scared? Let me tell you. My brother can crush ten of you at once." shouted Ibo Chen when he saw Hedrick thinking.

" This seems interesting you know. " finally Hedrick said with a smile.

Without warning two punches landed on Ibo Chen's face and cheek and a kick in the chest causing him to fly backwards and land on the ground with blood flowing out of his nose and at the corner of his lips.

" You... " cried Ibo Chen angrily. Without any warning the person attacked aggressively like he had nothing to do with those big statements.

"Anyways, I never wanted to hit you at first but when I remembered the words I said at first, I knew couldn't let you go without one or two punches. I apologize sincerely." Hedrick said with a sincere expression.

Seeing the expression on Hedrick, Ibo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood due to anger.

" I guess. it's time to head to your father's home and ask for my compensation."

" Audacious"

" Insane..."

" Arrogant"

Different exclamations ran throughout the whole crowd as they watched this crazy young man.

" I have to say Ibo Chen was quite unlucky to meet this crazy young boy."

" Yeah, I agree to."

" That boy seems to be arrogantly insane, young mistress." Nina commented.

" True. She is quite unpredictable." said the young girl in a low tone.

" Should we follow them up to Ibo Chen's home?" Asked the maid eagerly.

" Why should we? We shall get the news as soon as we arrive." said the young girl. Nina nodded and then lowered her head in disappointment.

" We are going to your home. You should be happy I guess.Why ain't you leading the way?" said Hedrick as he looked at Ibo Chen with a smile.

The panic within Ibo Chen reduced by a small fraction but resumed when he saw that smile. Ever since he met this guy, he always felt like the world was about to collapse entirely.It was like he had met an emperor who had everything in his control. So a bad feeling grew inside him.

'Who exactly are you? What makes you so confident in yourself?'thought the young girl in white.

Hedrick then turned his head and looked towards the direction of the tavern and then smiled.

" Miss! miss ! he seems to be looking at us."Nina shouted.

" What!" upon Looking down, her phoenix eyes me the Hedrick's and her heart skipped a beat
