Chapter 368 Empty Threats

But Dejerius, foolishly, still believed Dwayne was beneath him. He had yet to realize that Stokes was no ordinary foe. One of Dejerius' men, his face pale with fear, glanced nervously at the two lifeless bodies on the floor. Their bones were broken, their skin charred and peeling, the evidence of a brutal attack too terrible to ignore. "What now?" he stammered, his voice quivering as his eyes darted to the bodies, unable to tear himself away from the gruesome sight.
