Ellinor turned her head in search of Sheila, only to find that she was gone. Sheila and the middle–aged
man had disappeared

Byran’s age, hot on Byran’s tail
“There’s Byran! He’s heading that way!”
“Get him!”

group.
“Byran, are you a man or not? Can’t admit that you lost?”

Byran fell to the floor, clutching his stomach, which had been hit hard, with a cold sweat pouring down
his face.
Julius arrogantly laughed, “Apologize to me and beg me for mercy! Only then will I let you go!”
Byran curled up on the floor, gritting his teeth as he glared at him, “In your dreams!”
“Still defiant? Guys, keep hitting him! Hit him hard!”
“Ah…”
“Let him go.”
A girl’s calm and icy voice echoed.
