67 : The First Year III Pt. 14 (1/2)

She unconsciously took a step back as she grabbed her neck. It felt like she was bleeding, but when she checked she was not.

However, she clearly felt something cut her.

Taking another glance at the old man in front of her, she knew he was not ordinary.

Z who stood next to her also felt it. An overwhelming power. He even found it hard to take steady breaths.

Z was knowledgable of the world, he knew that there were many strong people in it. Yet, he never figured he would encounter one so soon.

Z could not figure out of Charles was planning on killing them or not. If he was then they better run. If not, this could be a valuable experience for both of them.

They grew stronger the more they fought. The tougher the challenge the faster their growth rate.

They studied their opponents movements and made them into their own. They were made for this.

Suddenly Z felt someone glaring at them from behind. He turned and found a young man with brown curly hair focusing in their direction. Z couldn't read him.

His train of thought changed, it was best for them to leave. The young boy they may be able to face, but him and the old man together… they stood no chance.

”Our bad old man, we will just leave. No need to start any trouble.”

Z apologized to Charles and grabbed R's hand.

Charles placed his hand on Z's shoulder and squeezed it tight.

”I said I'll have to teach you proper manners and now you want to leave? Sorry, our lesson is not over just yet.”

Charles told Z in a cold tone.

Z glanced around the store and saw a couple customers looking in their direction. Although they were not speaking loud it was clear that there was a problem going on.

”You don't honestly expect to start anything here do you?”

Z said as he tried to shove Charles hand off of his shoulder. However, he could not remove it. Charles grip was like a vice, it was not letting go.

Hearing Z speak made Charles grin. Ever since he came to America he has yet to let himself go a bit. Even if this is not a real challenge, he thought it would still be nice to pumble these brats.

”A different location can be arranged.”

Charles grabbed R by her neck and a cloud of black smoke appeared in their place. When the smoke settled, they were gone.

Nick found Charles to be as ordinary as a normal human. He originally thought Charles had no EXO ability, but he was wrong.

Charles was like an empty vase.

”What are you?”

Nick asked himself.

His figure faded away into the shadows.

Outside of the mall in the parking lot, three figures appeared. With a loud crack, the ground beneath their feet crumbled.

Both Z and R had their faces smashed into the ground.

”First lesson, always keep your head up. It shows you are confident. Even if you are feeling low, keep your head up. As a man, you should never lower your head to anyone. As a proper lady, the only time you ever bow your head is when greeting someone.”

Charles shook both of his hands while little specks of dust fell.

R felt humiliated.

Her precious face was smashed into the ground! No one has ever touched her face. There was not even a small blemish on it.

Her first reaction was to touch her face. Her hands were shaking as they moved closer. Checking her palm, she saw blood.

”Ughhh!”

She lashed out in anger.

It took her a long time before she found a body that fit her standards. Now it was ruined!

A deathly aura rose around her as she dashed off at Charles.
