ding behind Faith, shifted slightly and stepped in front of her. With a simple motion, he raised his hard.
A modfled soust echoed, and poe’s expression instantly changed.
Though Kyle appeared not to retaliate, he had, in fact, struck a nerve in Joe’s arm, rendering it temporarily useless. For now, for wouldn’t be able to lift it.
This sight, however, left Faith and her parents utterly stummed
Kyle smiled faintly and patted her head. “raith, didn’t I tell you? I can protect myself. Even if I were in danger, it wouldn’t come from a small fry like this, in Kendonia, no one has the ability to lay a hand on me.”
Faith’s cheeks flushed a deep red, perhaps because Kyle was standing so close that his warm breath brushed against her face.
Kyle gently moved Faith behind him, then tumed to Joe with a look of pure disdain. “Raising your hand against a woman–aren’t you worried about losing whatever shred of dignity you have lett? But laying a finger on Faith? That’s a surefire way to lose your life.”

“How dare you—?”
Three slaps later, Joe’s face was visibly red and swollen.
Grinding his teeth, for swung his fist at Kyle again, shouting, “I’ll kill

“Dout disturb Fay’s peace. Let’s take this to your son’s room and have some fun.”
Faith and her parents stood frozen, their faces pale with shock. It took them a long moment to recover from what they had just witnessed.
