His provocation was obvious to most. They knew what he was doing and thought Maverick could see it too but they overestimated him. He was already seeing red spots in his eyes like an angry bull.
The tall girl in their small group walked over and rubbed Maverick's arm as she spoke to him softly trying to calm him down. She knew that once provoked Maverick wasn't as sensible hence she had to do something about it before things escalated further.
It was as though his wrath would directly burn a hole in his brain and he would lose his mind in a fit of rage. As expected the raging beast within loosened its restraints and he lost his shit pushing the girl aside like a rag doll.
Zi Han smiled like a fiend as he dodged Maverick's fist coming toward him. Maverick's mental power might have been higher than his but his combat skills were far less superior to his. This meant Zi Han had a big advantage.
