I dodged the attack at top speed too, throwing my body sideways just as the wind of the strike hissed past my ear. My friends were equally reactive, scattering like frightened birds.
Mei scooped Yanyin up into her arms and blurred away from the perimeter, putting a safe distance between the child and the violence.
However, even as I scrambled for footing on the ground, my gaze didn't leave Longwei. The sting of the attack was nothing compared to the burning heat of his sadistic betrayal. I could see the bastard smiling under that mask.
"What is wrong with you?!" I screamed at him, my voice cracking with a mixture of panic and fury as Lai reset his stance, preparing for another strike.
Longwei just shrugged again, a gesture so casual and unbothered it made my blood boil.
Lai didn't wait for our internal dispute to settle. He went for the rest of the gang as my friends swiftly avoided his strikes.
