Adam stepped forward, he looked at John as if he had just killed his puppy. His jaw was clenched, his fists were balled, and his eyes were filled with rage.
"Give me the girls back," Adam demanded.
John sighed and shook his head, his eyes cold and indifferent.
"No, I won’t. These women have chosen to come with me. If you want to stop me, then I’m afraid you’ll have to try your luck."
Adam’s eyes blazed with fury, his face contorted with anger. He clenched his teeth and raised his fist, his body tense and his muscles bulging.
"You’ve made a big mistake, kid. I’ll make you pay for this. You have no idea who you’re dealing with."
John’s muscles tensed, his heart pounding in his chest. He could feel the energy crackling through the air, the power radiating off Adam’s body. He knew Adam would be a formidable opponent, but he had a Skill that would clear all his doubts. He focused on Adam’s figure and a screen materialised.
[Adam West]
[Strength: 28]
[Vitality: 31]
[Agility: 11]
[Energy: 10]
Two of Adam’s stats were higher than his own, but he could win this. His hands clenched into fists and he tightened the grip on his Venomlash, his body bracing for the fight.
Adam’s whole body bulged and he exploded into a sprint, his eyes blazing with fury and his body brimming with energy. John sidestepped to his right and dodged his charge. As Adam’s figure blurred past him, he swung his Venomlash, aiming for his neck. The blade sliced through the air, but it only hit the air, leaving John’s momentum unbalanced and exposing his left side.
"Ah, shit," John cursed.
He quickly regained his balance and spun around, his Venomlash poised and ready. Adam charged towards him, his face twisted with rage. John stepped forward, his blade singing through the air. He aimed for Adam’s neck, but his opponent ducked and rolled to the side, avoiding the attack.
John’s eyes narrowed and he spun around, his blade flashing through the air. Adam blocked the blow with his arm, his muscles rippling with strength.
As John’s blade struck Adam’s arm, a powerful force slammed into him, throwing him back. John staggered and fell to his knees, his lungs burning and his chest aching.
"What the hell was that?" he gasped.

Adam grinned and cracked his knuckles, his eyes blazing with triumph.
"That’s just a little trick I like to call ’Energy Push’. You messed with the wrong guy, kid."
John’s eyes narrowed and he got to his feet, his body still aching from the attack.
The three women stood at the entrance, their faces pale and their bodies tense. Fiery stood with her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the battle. The other two cheered and rooted for John, their voices echoing through the empty corridor.
As John and Adam exchanged blows, the women watched in awe and wonder, their hearts pounding and their minds racing.
The battle was a whirlwind of motion, a blur of fists and blades, a symphony of clashing metal and bone.
John and Adam locked gazes. Adam grinned as he looked down on John with contempt. John’s eyes narrowed and as Adam focused his gaze on John, his brows rose as John’s figure blurred along with his surroundings. Adam’s eyes narrowed into slits as he lost sight of John, but then he scoffed.
He looked at the three women and smirked, "see? that’s what you get for putting your hopes on some dumb kid."
Fiery and the other women were shocked. Their faces were a mixture of confusion, disappointment, and disbelief. They couldn’t believe that John had abandoned them. They had put their trust in John, had believed in him, and now they were left alone and vulnerable.
Adam stepped forward like a madman, his lips curled into a cruel smile, and his eyes glinting with sadistic glee.
"Come on, let’s have some fun," Adam growled, his voice a deep rumble.
The women trembled in fear, their bodies trembling as their hearts pounded with terror. They were helpless, defenceless, and weak. They had no choice but to surrender, no choice but to obey the whims of their captor.
Adam walked up to them, his eyes wild and his breath heavy. As Fiery looked at Adam’s sadistic expression, a knot formed in her stomach, her body tensing with disgust and rage. She gritted her teeth and glared at Adam, her eyes blazing with defiance. She wanted to strike back, wanted to hurt Adam, but she knew that she was no match for him. She was outmatched and outnumbered. There was nothing she could do but accept her fate.
She cursed at herself because despite knowing that John was just another man out for himself, for a fleeting moment, she had come to believe him. She had allowed him to give her false hope, only to break her heart once more. She couldn’t understand why she had been so naive, why she had allowed herself to trust a complete stranger.
As Adam loomed over her, she closed her eyes and braced herself for the worst, her heart racing and her body trembling.
Suddenly, she felt a cool breeze rush through the room. Her eyes shot open and she saw John’s cheeky smirk only for a second before he vanished, leaving only a faint blur of motion behind Adam. She blinked once and John was standing tall with his dagger raised behind Adam, his face contorted into a look of intense concentration.
Adam turned to see John behind him, his eyes wide with surprise and confusion. Before he could react, John’s blade sliced through the air, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Time seemed to slow down as the blade whistled through the air, its deadly edge gleaming in the light. Adam’s eyes widened in shock and horror, his body frozen in place.
The blade struck his throat, slicing cleanly through his neck and severing his spinal cord. John had used all his Skills for this one hit and it had paid off.
Adam’s body fell to the ground, lifeless and limp. Blood pooled around him, forming a crimson lake of gore.

John sighed in relief, his chest heaving and his hands trembling.
He had done it.
He had won.
The women gasped, their eyes widening with shock and amazement. Fiery stared at him, her heart pounding and her body trembling.
"How...how did you do that?" she asked, her voice a whisper.
