Chapter 27 Austins Veins Boil In Fury (Part One) (2/2)

It sounded like an injured animal in great pain, but wishing to take revenge on its attacker. Evan's neck and cheeks had turned crimson with anger.

”I'll take you down with me!” he growled.

Then he flung himself at Jesse with all the force he could muster to fight and get back at him.

The growl did get Jesse's attention, who was startled at the sound. The sight of a desperate Evan astounded him.

He quickly recovered from the shock and replaced it with a cold smile. 'With the huge gap between you and me, how can you possibly hope to take me down?' Jesse thought. He curled his lips to display a trace of contempt. Then, shutting his eyes briefly, he unleashed all the power of his vital energy.

”Boom!”

The sound of a clash had spectators holding their breath. Evan was thrown in the air, like a kite out of control, before landing several feet away, blood spilling out of his mouth.

Although Jesse knew he had defeated Evan, he discovered his arms started to throb after the collision. Shortly, both his extremities went numb.

”You filthy little scum!” he screamed at Evan.

He no longer looked playful. Evan's defiant attitude provoked him, and his face gradually turned grave.

Like a child, he stomped hard and made another lunge at Evan.

”Stop it!”

A girl yelled loud enough that Jesse froze in surprise. The next second, a lovely figure swooped in to shield Evan and quickly executed a counter-punch.

The blow caught Jesse, who staggered back three steps before he was able to regain his balance.

”Denali, what are you doing?” Jesse demanded.

His face had gone pale at the recognition.

Because he knew he did not dare upset the fierce young lady.

Not long after, two other beautiful girls made their way in. Like Denali, they were also grunt disciples, who immediately stood behind their friend.

”Janie, help me get him up!” Denali ordered one of the girls.

She was slim and exquisitely beautiful and wore a lovely red dress and the whole package she presented caught everyone's attention.

Many of the male grunt disciples couldn't tear their eyes from Janie and kept swallowing their desire.

”What are you doing?” Denali repeated Jesse's question.

”Well, I'm supposed to be asking you that,” she retorted. ”Jesse, we're all members of the same sect. We should be uniting as one. But what are you thinking by bullying Evan like this?” she demanded.

Her tone had a dangerous edge to it, while the eyes she fixed on Jesse held a hint of loathing.

Since Jesse enjoyed bullying other grunt disciples, Denali was never nice to him.

The girl she referred to as Janie hesitated for a second before going up to help Evan get to his feet.

Once he sensed Janie's soft and tender hands on his skin and inhaled her unique fragrance, Evan felt as if he were dreaming, drifting along with the clouds.

The poor guy had never been near a girl before. From childhood to adolescence, he had not exchanged a single word with the opposite sex.

He was overwhelmed by the sensation of being close to a female and felt himself panic even just looking at a girl approaching from a distance. He would lower his head and walk straight past the girl.
