The phone rang; it was Adrian Desmond's ringtone.
It was only then that Adrian realized it was time to get off work. In the morning, he had promised Sienna Johnson that he would pick her up. The call was probably from Sienna.
Adrian lost interest in playing cat and mouse with Arnold Cooper. He pinned Arnold to the ground and punched him repeatedly. Adrian's fists were hard. They struck like hammers, the impact sending pain deep into the bones.
Arnold Cooper was no good boy. He had fought countless times growing up, always the one to leave others beaten. But this time, he was the one being pummeled, with no strength to fight back.
Adrian's aura was unlike that of an ordinary person. The murderous energy he exuded could cow the weak, then slowly devour them.
"Stop hitting me! I... I surrender!" Arnold Cooper stammered. He felt like he was about to die; this man genuinely intended to kill him.
