He knew he held the upper hand, Howard and the blond youth were on the verge of collapse, their bodies battered and their movements sluggish. The gap in strength was undeniable, and Harry relished the inevitability of their defeat. Escape? For them, it was little more than a fleeting dream.
Time crawled by, each second amplifying the despair in the eyes of his opponents. Howard and the young man exchanged glances, their expressions grim. They understood the severity of their predicament, if they didn't find a way out soon, both of their lives would end here.
"Stay here and accept your fate!" Harry growled, his voice rough with exertion and anticipation. His figure loomed larger as he advanced, intent on delivering the final blow.
But just as he prepared to finish the job, the faces of his opponents shifted. Their despair melted away, replaced by something else entirely, relief.
