'Did I just send that man flying?' Hugo unbelievably stared at his hands. He was so surprised by what happened, but the only thing he can say was it was worth it.
Mighty Fist. The power to have immeasurable damage in just a punch. Depending on how a person uses it, its damage can differ from one another.
Hugo's 4th power got triggered because of his emotions. It was the anger towards Lucas, who kept on saying foul and disrespectful words to the two women beside him.
Since it was Hugo's first time using that power, he still had no control over it that he almost killed Lucas with his last punch!
A loud sound coming from a siren echoed. Hugo immediately looked around as thoughts started to sink into his mind. He turned his head around when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you okay, Hugo?" Abigail's voice surfaced. She touched Hugo's cheeks as worry flickered in her eyes.
Hugo nodded and took a deep breath. He looked at his side and saw Lilith, who was frozen in her place.
"Lilith," he called out her name.
Lilith came back to reality. She looked at Hugo and asked, "Y-Yes?"
"You seem unfazed," Hugo asserted before glancing back to Abigail.
"Are you alright?" He asked Abigail when he saw that she still looked terrified at what had happened earlier.
"I'm fine," Abigail briefly paused. "But your hands are not. Give them to me." She scolded him before getting the first aid kit on the back.
Hugo stared at Abigail as the woman cleaned the wounds in his hands. 'She's fine?' He didn't believe Abigail's words when he saw how scared she was earlier
Well, he understood that part, since Abigail was well taken care of. The woman hasn't been out for this long. She hasn't experienced the cruelty of the world.
"Mr. Hugo! Ms. Abigail!" Rommel hurriedly ran over to his boss's direction. His eyes widened in shock when he saw an unconscious man lying on the ground, meters away from them.
"She tried to harass me and this woman over here," Abigail pointed out her hands to Lilith before continuing. "Hugo just saved us from the man. If he wasn't here, we could have been molested!"
Rommel immediately got anxious about what his boss had said. If anything happened to the woman under his watch, then he wouldn't know what to do. He would immediately get fired and his family will get affected as well.
He thankfully looked at Hugo. "Thank you for what you did," he uttered sincerely.
"Miss Abigail, Sir Hugo, and Miss. You can enter the car now. I will take care of the rest and explain it to the police." Rommel assured the three of them.
Abigail nodded. "Let's go now," she smiled before entering the car. Hugo and Lilith silently followed Abigail. They had to wait almost 30 minutes before Rommel came back to finally drive them around.
"It's done. The police already took care of him." Rommel announced that made the atmosphere in the car lighter.
Smiling, Abigail placed her hands on top of Hugo's. "Thank you for what you did earlier."
Hugo shook his head. "That was nothing. It's for both of your safety." He took a deep sigh before adjusting his seat. He was seated in the middle of Abigail and Lilith.
'I should have seated in front,' he thought as he looked at both sides.
Lilith found the silence an opportunity to talk. "You should rest now, Hugo. I will just tell my Mother what happened." She spoke in a low voice.
"Alright," Hugo nodded.
"Let's get to Lilith's house first, then," Abigail, who heard the conversation, interrupted. She looked at Lilith and smiled widely. "Where's your house?"
After Lilith told her address, Abigail's attention went to Hugo. "I will drop you off after Lilith," she informed the man.
Hugo gave Abigail an okay sign.
'I can't drop you off first, since I still wanted to spend time with you.' Abigail longingly looks at Hugo.
She remembers that she had a crush on him since the start of their friendship. She was just not making any moves in fear that Hugo might get weirded out and cut off their friendship.
But now that she smells something off about Lilith, she needs to level up her game already. 'I can't afford to lose Hugo,' she looked at Hugo with determination in her eyes.
'Hugo is mine.'
"I want to say something to Hugo…" Lilith paused for a while before she played with her fingers. 'I'm getting nervous and I just wanted to say thank you to him.' She thought as the beating of her heart started to get faster.
Hugo's forehead creased when Lilith went silent. "What is it?" he asked, getting impatient with Lilith's unfinished words.
"Uhm… I just wanted to say thank you for saving earlier. If you didn't arrive, I do not know what will happen to me." Tears started to pool in her eyes as she blurted out the last few words.
Without Hugo coming in time to save her, then she didn't know what to do. She was too weak to fight Lucas. She wasn't weak because she was a girl. She was weak because Lucas was known for his well-built body and skills in boxing.
That's why she was still surprised to see Hugo that strong. It reminds her now that she was being judgemental at first. She was planning on how can her mom fire Hugo, but he didn't even hesitate to save her.
'I regretted my actions already.' Lilith bit her lower lips as she took a deep breath.
Now that she had the chance to get to know more about her Hugo, then she wouldn't waste the opportunity. She glanced at him one more time before deciding what she should do.
'You are my savior now… I will do and give anything you want as payment... even my body,' the woman silently promised.
