Hugo's eyes widened in alarm after hearing a loud shout. He glanced over in the direction of where the sound was coming from and saw a group of people carrying some children.

Some of the children were in terror and horror as their mouths were covered by a strong pair of hands, making them unable to talk. Only Hailey, who managed to kick the balls of her attacker, managed to make a sound.

"You bitch!" The leader in the middle, who has the most buffed body out of them all slapped Hailey across her face.

They were silently moving to avoid any attention, but because of the shout everyone's eyes were on them.

Hugo, who saw it, couldn't just do nothing with his sister being assaulted by these unknown people. He didn't get these powers to do nothing.

What matters was, that he needed to save the other children and his sister.

Running at full speed, Hugo crossed the distance between him and the group of people. Because of Hailey's shout, they weren't able to move forward as everyone's eyes were on them.

The leader-like guy who was carrying Hailey took something out of his pocket and pointed it at the people who wants to go on their way.

"JUST ONE WRONG MOVE AND I WILL PLANT THESE BULLETS ON THEIR HEAD!"

A deafening sound echoed. The children who were in their hands shivered in fear. It was traumatizing for a child like them to experience these kinds of events.

"My child!" A couple screamed in agony. It was followed by countless shouts coming from the parents and guardians of those kidnapped kids.

The people were in panic as they tried to call the police, but because the guys in the middle have their own weapons, some choose to keep quiet in fear that they will get harmed.

However, a man stood up proudly in the middle. There was no fear evident in his face unlike the people around him. There were no tears in his eyes, unlike the parents of the other children.

"Release them," He commanded in a cold voice.

"Brother!" Hailey's eyes watered, seeing how his brother stand up for them. A glint of hope rose up in her minds. She knew that her brother would save her whatever it cost.

Hugo glanced over at Hailey after hearing her shout. 'Are you alright?' he mouthed. He can see how the cheeks of Hailey reddened because of the slap coming from earlier.

Hailey mouthed 'Yes'. She was now in relief after hearing her brother.

"Release them back."

You wouldn't see any emotion in Hugo's eyes as he uttered those words. However, there was something different in the color of his eyes. The middle of it was getting darker, like a night.

"And why would I?" The leader muffled a wrapper as he eyes Hugo from head to toe. The man looked so weak and yet he dared come in their way.

"Release them now before I do something that you will surely regret."

"What now? Are you going to kick us around with that tiny legs of yours?!" The leader, whose name was Eric, spat out the words proudly. The sides of his lips rose in a protruding way, looking at the unknown person in his front and the others with ease.

"That's not the only thing that I would do to you." His voice was getting deeper. "So just do what I fucking say and ran like a dog!"

Loud and several laughs sounded at what Hugo had said. Unknown to them, despite Hugo's body, he could do all the things that he had said at ease.

"What about you run instead before I shoot this gun in your head?" Eric grinned as he pointed the gun at his hand on Hugo's head.

Seeing such a sight, Hailey's lips parted in horror. She had no choice but to look at Hugo, shaking her head to tell him to just go and leave her alone.

"Just go, brother…" she breathed out as a tear fell from her eyes.

She wanted to be saved, but knowing that Hugo might get in the process… she wouldn't be able to take it if ever.

However, Hugo just smiled widely. He crossed his arms on his chest. "It's better if you point that gun in your head, since it's empty, anyway. With that, we could do each other a favor."

His smile became wider. He was unfazed, knowing that he has his powers to back him up if ever.

But there was only one problem if the situation became worse, he has no power to defend himself if there'll be a rain of bullets coming his way. So, the only thing that he could do was act faster.

"Y-You!" Eric glanced at his back. He gave a signal to his two mates.

The two mates nodded their heads, understanding what their boss had said. They started to walk forward, leaving the children in their hands under their allies' care. They walked with their head, held up high. Grabbing Hugo in his arms tightly.

"You know what? Our boss said to take only children, but because you wanted to act like a hero then we would give you that opportunity by dying first in our hands." Eric grinned. He glanced at the side, signaling them to take Hugo away already.

"We need to go. We are causing too much attention already." He announced before turning his back. "The police will be coming here after a while. We can't afford to be defeated." He informed them as he started to take a step.

The two men who were holding Hugo in his arms started to push him as well. However, Hugo's body didn't even budge. He was already eyeing the person who was confident enough to lay a finger on his body.

"You can say fuck you to the world now."

At the speed of light, Hugo was able to get away from their hands. He looked at the person on his side, who was the first one to get a hold of his arms.

"Goodbye."
