"Tobias, I've had enough of you! You think you can keep being arrogant?"

Milo punched me in the waist again, right where I had hit the corner of the table earlier.

I screamed in agony as waves of pain crashed over me, making it hard to breathe.

The previous injury felt like a thousand steel spikes piercing through, each nerve excruciatingly painful.

Kate was stunned; she seemed to remember something and immediately ordered them to release me.

Milo, looking unconvinced, said, "Kate, Tobias is just acting. Don't fall for it.

"I only hit him lightly. Who's he trying to fool with this exaggerated act?"

Just as he finished speaking, a gush of bright red blood stained my white shirt, causing the crowd around us to gasp in shock.
