The gang leader made his first move against Lyfenea. He wanted to make her suffer, but he obviously wouldn't kill her or cause any permanent damage.
He wanted to teach her a lesson and force her to rejoin the gang—or at least imprison her.
The relationship between the two was strange. Despite being family, they didn't get along well. It was painfully obvious.
William wasn't sure what to do. Should he jump into their fight right away or wait for the right moment to strike?
'I think I have to attack now,' he thought. 'In the end, he'll come for me after dealing with her, so there's no escaping this.'
This was his best chance, especially considering all the other sub-leaders were outside. William wanted to face the leader alone. It wouldn't be easy as it was, let alone with the others helping him.
