章 92: Heated Encounter

Sitting on the ground, I couldn't find the words to express my shock. I'm fully aware that my abilities and physical stats were already way above average. But, the fact that I had been knocked to the ground after bumping with him indicated that his stats were even higher than mine. This realization left me feeling vulnerable and unsure of how to react. 

"Hey…," I spoke, intending to confront him, but the moment our eyes locked, my voice seemed to vanish. His eyes were dark and filled with a menacing presence, more intimidating than the gaze I could muster when I activated Faker. 

He simply looked at me, but an inexplicable sense of urgency surged within me, telling me to distance myself from him as fast as I could. 

It was a strange feeling. After all, I possessed a system that granted me the power to control minds, and my combat abilities and stats had reached a level where I could easily take on 5-7 thugs at once. So why did I feel so threatened by him?
