Chapter 34: Nightmare Heir Vs Commoner
"...You couldn’t even let me finish a drink?" Oliver muttered under his breath, heart racing.
Barka stood above him, grinning. He was a wall of muscle, his eyes glinting with savage delight.
The brute charged again. Oliver jumped aside, barely missing a blow aimed at his chest. But the next punch clipped his ribs.
CRUNCH.
The sound was unmistakable. It echoed through the cage despite the thunder outside. Pain lanced through Oliver’s body, white-hot and merciless. He gasped, staggering backward.
Velma screamed.
"Oliver!"
She tried to rise, but the broken man held her.
"No…" he stuttered, shaking his head. "He has to… do this... Alone. Tru...trust him."
Oliver rolled on the ground, gritting his teeth. He couldn’t breathe. It felt like something had been knocked loose inside him.
That punch… it wasn’t normal.
