Dr. Herzog felt a profound sense of humiliation and frustration in his heart, yet at this critical juncture, he did not dare to provoke Lu Mingfei.
Heaven alone knew whether this kid, if provoked by a lack of compliance, might impulsively leap into the boiling mercury pool of the Red Well and seek his own destruction. Right now, Herzog was driven mad with agitation. First it was Minamoto Wakasei and Kazama Ruri, and now this Lu Mingfei—why were these young people today increasingly reckless, each one more like a lunatic than the last?
Seeming to hear Lu Mingfei's words, Kazama Ruri slowly relaxed his grip, releasing the calf of Herzog that he had been sinking his teeth into. He fell backward onto the ground, breathing heavily. The long crawl had made his wounds ache intensely, and Herzog's brutal strike had left his head spinning. It was only thanks to the extraordinary constitution of a "Crown" that he managed to cling to consciousness, though he needed to gasp for air with all his might just to keep from fainting.
