Bab 79: Harsh Reality

The fight ended almost too easily.

It was obvious from the start.

The thugs who remained.in the slums were never the kind to train themselves. They survived by licking the asses of someone stronger, leeching off their power. They had neither the foundation nor the strength to even remotely compare to someone like Kai, let alone Levi.
