The gang leader's fist slammed into Alex's stomach. The boy doubled over like a folding chair and crashed to the ground, gasping.
"Seriously? Down from just one punch? You call yourself a Fury?" the leader sneered. "Get him back up."
Two goons grabbed Alex by the shoulders, yanking him upright, while the remaining two maintained the binding spells that kept him restrained.
The leader stepped forward, fists ready, and continued his assault.
"Beg," he said between punches. "Just beg me once, and I'll let you go."
Alex said nothing.
Even as pain wracked his body, he remained silent—his gaze locked onto the leader.
Unnoticed by all, a change crept into his ruby-red eyes. Slowly, they deepened into a fierce crimson—eerily similar to his father's, Earl Drake Fury.
