Chapter 5 – Cruelty
"How could you be here and not call for us, huh?"
Grouping around Zane, the boys looked at him with amused smirks, some snickering under their breath.
"I don't recall having to tell you where I should be. Are you my dad?" Zane replied, raising an eyebrow. His sarcastic tone made the lead boy frown, his eyes growing colder with anger.
"Hahaha, running your mouth as always." Cracking his knuckles and punching the palm of his hand, he grinned with venom. "Let's see if you still have that attitude once I carve your face in, bastard. Hold him."
Without wasting a second, the boys moved in to grab Zane, who found himself cornered from all sides. Stepping back against the wall, he met their eyes with a cold, unflinching stare.
"Come here, ugly bas—"
BANG
The first boy lunged forward, arms outstretched to grab him—only to get slammed in the face by Zane's backpack. The impact knocked him to the ground, his face turning crimson from the hit.
"Y-You bastard!!" he howled in pain. "He hit me!!"
"Grab him!"
