The Fall of Lal Hiran

With a loud "bang," Lal Hiran's body was sent flying and embedded into the wall, leaving only broken stones falling to the ground.

Kenny Lin walked up to him. "So? Surprised? Caught off guard? Happy?"

Lal Hiran coughed up mouthfuls of fresh blood as if it cost nothing.

Soham, witnessing this scene, felt his initial panic replaced by calm.

He even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely fortunate that when he had "taken the demon hostage," he hadn't actually dared to act.

Otherwise, the one embedded in the wall right now would have been him.

Perhaps the whole act earlier had been a test, and if he had made a move, his fate would have been sealed.

"Enough playing around," Amalia said as she approached, having already subdued the young man.

Soham glanced at the young man lying on the ground, unsure whether he was dead or alive.
