88 Chapter 88: Worries, Troubles and Decision (1/2)

Her weak voice packed with hope and desperation called out to him making Loki startle. He slowly turned around to look at her hopeful eyes. In that instant, he saw disappointment and despair cloud those beautiful orbs.

He frowned when he saw her bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears. Stella turned away from this stranger who reached out to help her. She gripped the coat to her body, trying to bury within that piece of cloth.

Loki knitted his brows not understanding her sudden reaction. He just heard her call out a name with longing.

'Zeke? Who is Zeke?'

He couldn't ponder on it much as Ren shouted to him distracting him from his thoughts. He gave her a last look before turning to Ren who had a guy beaten black and blue in his hands.

Ren nonchalantly stood there as he held the guy by his collar, who was half-conscious by his beating. Shaking the guy by his collar, he asked fiercely, ”What should we do with them?”

Loki's eyes darkened when he remembered the scene they had come across. They had been delayed by a few minutes but in those few minutes, these imbeciles have forced themselves on her. He didn't dare to think what would happen to her if they were too late.

He clearly remembered the scene where four men held her down while one was trying to rip her clothes. He didn't know what came to him but suddenly everything became red and his hands began to blaze furiously.

Loki's cold gaze sent the temperature waning as he kicked Steve off Stella. A loud crack echoed as Steve crashed against the wall and broke his hand.

Loki turned towards her flustered but the scene made his face darken to the deepest shade. Her cheeks were swelled up, her lips were bleeding and her upper body was exposed. His eyes soon followed her actions as she sat up and cradled her hand.

He clenched his fist when he noticed her hand was swelled up pretty bad. They broke her hand.... that thought made him want to murder them ruthlessly.

Angrily, he waved his hand, sending the other four guys flying. He turned to his friends who immediately went to teach them a lesson while he removed his coat and threw it at her. He watched her hurriedly grab onto his coat and cover her body, struggling with one hand.

He bent down to help her but paused when he saw her body flinch. He looked at his stretched hand and clenched it. He closed his eyes and said in a gentle voice, ”You are safe now. Don't worry.”

He sighed when he saw her body relax a little before she nodded her head. He wanted to pat her head and calm her down but he didn't want to startle her.

His eyes trailed back to her cheek making him clench his jaw.

Remembering all of that made his face appear scary that Ren involuntarily gulped.

”Kill them”

Ren knitted his brows fully understanding where he was coming from but...

Even though he knew these assholes need to die, he couldn't just go ahead and kill them, right? Moreover, Hazel's words rung in his mind, reminding them of her instructions.

Ren hesitated to look at him as he struggled on how to gently remind him. Sensing his murderous aura was enough for them to understand the seriousness in his statement.

Zeno suddenly opened his mouth as he calmly stomped on a guy's stomach. He bent his knees as he leaned forward and pushed his glasses. He looked at Loki sternly and enunciated each word.

”Did you forget what Hazel said before we left? She said no killing. So that means No Killing.”

Loki glared at Zeno but Zeno held his stand unfazed. Loki exhaled angrily as he asked sarcastically, ” So what do you think should we do? Break their arms and leave.”

Zeno raised his eyebrow at Loki's sarcastic remark. It was his first time seeing Loki lose his cool. He couldn't help but gaze at the girl. But, his view was blocked by Loki, who glared at him warningly.

Reyna kicked another guy, breaking his ribs as she scoffed, ”I'm sure Hazel would agree with our decision once she knows the reason.”

She looked at the guy disgustingly. She raised her leg and kicked the wall, right next to his face. The guy screamed as he covered his head in reflex but when he didn't feel the pain. He peeked and heard her abhorrent words, ”They deserve to die.”

Hak pursed his lips as he looked at the temperament lady. He rubbed his forehead as he said, ”Don't forget we are here to take our revenge against our academy and not to declare war against them.”

Before they could counter his words, Zeno raised his hand silencing them. He narrowed his eyes as he said, ”We never said we didn't want to kill them.”

”Then why are you stopping us?” Reyna cut him off angrily.

Zeno glanced at her silently making Reyna turn her head away.
