Chapter seventeen

I felt like yelling at this point. I was tired of all this. These people are wasting our time! Brandon and Senah had an apologetic look. I couldn't blame them. They were happy to escape.

"Did you guys really think you could escape? I knew that there was a crack there. There are guards everywhere. Even without the noise, you were making, we would have caught you." The leader said.

"Hey, I didn't want to fight you at first because I wanted some action. You're getting me angry now." Xavier said in a low but dangerous tone. Something told me it would be wrong for anyone to tempt him.

"Henry, come look at the big boy! He claims he can beat us up." The leader mocked. He now walked towards Xavier. "I dare you boy…" He didn't even finish his sentence when Xavier carried him and threw him into the wall. There was a hole in the wall where the leader fell.

I only covered my mouth with my hands in shock. It was then I realized Xavier's body frame. He was well-built and stood tall.

His eyes showed nothing but anger. The rest of the bandits seemed scared but the bold ones stepped forward.

Brandon also took a step forward, indicating he was ready to fight them. One man threw a punch at Brandon but he swerved and used his other hand to throw a punch at the man's neck. The man fell and another jumped on Xavier but he caught the man and hit him on the ground.

It seemed very painful because the man was yelping in pain. Another one used a stick to hit Xavier's leg and he fell.

He also caught the leg of the one that hit his leg with the stick and used the same stick to break his knee.

The rest of the bandits became scared and ran away.
