YM778.TV Chapter 499 She Controlled Her Power
"Don\'t move! Don\'t come near me, or else, I will kill Tristan Davis!"
The gang leader used Tristan as a hostage so that FaMo would not touch him. But little did he know, his actions would bring more trouble and misfortune to him.
Zhen-Zhen, who already calmed down a while ago, suddenly got enraged once again after seeing the sharp weapon pointing at Tristan\'s neck.
Tristan got exhausted already. His entire body was already aching and feeling numb after he got beaten up with baseball bats.
If he still had the remaining strength to fight back, the gang leader would not be able to use him as a hostage. He could just retaliate by attacking him.
However, Tristan had already used up every ounce of his energy during the fight. He was now feeling weak. He couldn\'t even stand straight if not for the gang leader holding his body up.
"Tristan!" Matthew called him out in horror. He wanted to protect Tristan but he couldn\'t move his body anymore.
"What are you doing? I thought you don\'t have a plan to kill us?" Matthew questioned him.
"Well, that was before when this guy was not yet here. Now, I changed my mind. I will kill Tristan Davis if this guy will take another step towards me," the gang leader warned FaMo.
FaMo gritted his teeth. "You are making a big mistake here, poor guy." FaMo said to him meaningfully.
He turned to Zhen-Zhen who was already wearing a dark expression. He could feel the raging fury inside her.
FaMo glanced back to the gang leader with his bloodshot eyes.
\'You dimwit! You just angered Zhen-Zhen more. This is gonna be your end if you dare touch Tristan.\'
\'Oh right! You touched him already and had beaten him badly! Zhen-Zhen will never forgive you!\'
FaMo raised his hands, indicating that he won\'t move.
"Oh sure. I\'m not gonna do anything to you. But are you sure that you don\'t want me to touch you?"
\'Zhen-Zhen just didn\'t do something when she saw me fighting your underlings. But now that I am not going to touch you, Zhen-Zhen will probably punish you by herself.\'
FaMo was conflicted about whether to stop Zhen-Zhen from rampaging like a madman or let her punish this scumbag who harmed Tristan.
He knew Zhen-Zhen was not allowed to use her power, even her super-strength. But part of him wanted to see Zhen-Zhen punishing this guy for hurting Tristan and Matthew.
\'Sigh! What am I thinking? I should stop her since Matthew and Sophia are here. They will be shocked once they see Zhen-Zhen unleashing her power.\'
FaMo was about to talk to Zhen-Zhen through a mind link when suddenly a man\'s scream reverberated inside the warehouse.
"Aaaah, Fire! I\'m on fire!!!"
That voice came from the gang leader. When FaMo, Sophia, and Matthew looked in his direction, his weapon was already on the ground, slowly melting because of the heat of the orange fire.
He released Tristan as he was trying to distinguish the fire on his arm. Zhen-Zhen just set his two hands on fire.
When she cast that fire, she made sure that Tristan would be protected by a human-sized invisible barrier.
Tristan moved away from the gang leader right away.
Matthew and Sophia were just looking at the gang leader with disbelief. They didn\'t know where that fire came from.
It was so sudden when the gang leader was set on fire.
"Eh, what the hell is happening here?" Matthew mumbled in amusement.
He was still watching the gang leader who was now rolling back and forth on the ground just to extinguish the fire.
Sophia had the same reaction as Matthew.
"Huh? Did Tristan do something? I didn\'t see it. Where did that fire come from?" Sophia said, feeling confused.
FaMo just laughed inwardly. "Serves you right!"
When he gazed at Zhen-Zhen, she was already approaching Tristan. FaMo was fascinated by what he had seen. He was so proud of her because she finally controlled her power.
With just one look, Zhen-Zhen was able to summon fire and cast it to the gang leader without being noticed by anyone. Unlike before, Zhen-Zhen needed to concentrate first and release a fireball from her hands.
Because of that, FaMo got excited. He also saw how quickly Zhen-Zhen formed a barrier around Tristan\'s body, using it as a shield.
\'Zhen-Zhen, you did it! You finally controlled your power!\' FaMo said enthusiastically.
Zhen-Zhen finally reached Tristan\'s spot.
"Wifey…" Tristan\'s hazel eyes filled with complex emotions.
He felt grateful that nothing bad happened to Zhen-Zhen and Sophia. But he felt embarrassed for being weak. He was the one who was supposed to protect his wife but here he was, looking like sh*t as he was beaten up badly.
\'I feel really useless right now. Why can\'t I protect my wife? Why did she have to step up in the fight just to save us?\' Tristan lowered his gaze. He didn\'t know if he could face Zhen-Zhen without feeling ashamed of his weakness.
"Tristan…" She softly called him since Tristan avoided looking at her.
Tristan slammed his eyes shut while gritting his teeth. There was a lump in his throat.
\'Damn, Tristan! Being weak is enough, don\'t be a crybaby now!\' Tristan scolded himself.
He was really frustrated right now. He couldn\'t look straight into her eyes.
Zhen-Zhen bent down, gripping his shoulders as she helped him stand up. Zhen-Zhen was very silent. She caressed Tristan\'s face which was now full of bruises.
The corners of his lips were bleeding, his forehead was bleeding. There was a trace of dry blood on his face. The fresh and dry blood already mixed on his face.
Zhen-Zhen\'s eyes roamed around his face as she started wiping his blood using her fingers.
"I\'m sorry…" Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled that made Tristan finally look at her face, meeting her gaze.
"No… Why are you apologizing to me? You don\'t have to… This is not your fault," Tristan cupped her face, resting his forehead on hers.
"I let them hurt you. I should have protected you against them. I came too late. I\'m sorry, Tristan."
