By the time Lobo pulled himself from the spell of darkness, Rio had already dealt the final blow to his second companion.
He looked at Rio in anger, never thinking he'd be faced with such humiliation one day. If the rest of his friends and followers learned he couldn't even deal with a kid, who would follow him then.
He lunged forward trying to stab the kid, not even caring for the thought that he wanted to kidnap him or ask for ransom or what consequences could follow. For now, he just wanted to end this bastard who's testing the limits of his patience and laughing at that.
Rio dodged the knife, but as he turned his face left, a punch connected to his face, knocking him back a few steps.
"What happened now? Huh. Where's your smile, you little twerp. If I don't teach you a lesson, my name's not Lobo."
