《Bastion Of Heroes》Chapter 14
Advertisement
Seth desperately tried to free his knife from Mr. White’s teeth, but was unsuccessful. The tiger Awaken bit down and broke the blade into pieces, then bought his head down, crashing into Seth’s forehead. Th handle of his pocket knife fell to the floor. The pain from the headbutt shocked him out of his disbelief as he stumbled a few feet back trying to regain his bearings.
King Kong could only gawk at the scene, knowing that their impromptu plan had failed. His arms were already shaking from the effort of trying to hold Mr. White’s arms. However, even with boosting his strength to the maximum, he was still unable to outpower the tiger Awaken.
He could only stare as the arms he was desperately holding down slowly break free and release himself from King Kong’s grip as if to mock the effort of both the boys. The gorilla mask fighter tried to step back, but was too slow. His awaken ability had taken too much out of him. Mr. White reach forward grasp his neck, lifting him a few feet into the air.
Realizing that the situation was about to become even worse, Seth rushed in, gathering all the remaining chi he could muster into his palm and thrust his hand once again at Mr. White’s face. Unfortunately Mr. White was ready for him this time. Seth’s arm was grabbed by the right arm, instantly killing his momentum. He was left dangling in the right hand of Mr. White, the crushing grip prevented him from freeing himself. Both King Kong and Seth were kept at arm's length, enough distance that no kick or punch would have reached the body of the tiger awaken.
Despair was the only emotion Seth could currently feel. They had one chance and they had failed miserably. That didn’t mean there was nothing Seth could do. If he could free himself from Mr. White’s grip then maybe another chance to escape would open.

“I was not expecting much tonight, but my expectations were pleasantly overturned,” Mr. White said as he looked at the two people in his hands. King Kong was trying to free himself from his grip, while Seth was striking the opposite arm with his free hand without much success of freeing himself.
“Great, does that mean you’ll let us go?” Seth asked.
“ No, it doesn’t mean I'll let you boys go,” answered Mr. White as he turned his attention to King Kong. “ I had thought that your awaken ability was doubling in strength. However you were able to use it multiple times. How many times can you boost your strength?”
“Let m-me go.. and you’ll..find out,” King Kong manage to eke out of the death grip.
“ Hmm. I think not. I believe we all had enough for the night,” Mr. White said.
Before Seth had time to think about what those words meant, a shock ran through his body. Electrifying pain ran rampant across both boys' bodies. Seth’s mind could only escape into the alluring darkness to avoid the agonizing pain that was coursing through his body. As Seth consciousness slowly melted away, he heard the final parting words of the culprit for all the agony his body was currently suffering.
“I’ll be in touch, so look forward to it.”
