Enemies met on a Narrow Path

Yuan's smile turned into a determined expression as his gaze locked onto the three individuals. Anna, noticing the change in his demeanor, followed his line of sight and furrowed her brows in concern.

"Yuan, who are they?" she asked, her voice filled with caution.

Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the trio, his voice filled with disdain. "They are the son of the city lord, Jim, and his two cronies, Tony and Paul," he replied, his tone dripping with resentment.

Lily's tone turned bitter as she spoke, memories of past torment resurfacing. "They were the ones who bullied Yuan for years, simply because he hadn't awakened his mana. And just a week ago, they almost killed him. If I hadn't arrived in time..." Her voice trailed off, the thought too horrifying to complete.
