In that somewhat cramped street, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, as if it might snap at any second and spark a fierce confrontation. Keanu backed away, his feet shuffling backward while his eyes remained fixed relentlessly on Xu Lin, like a trapped yet still ferocious wolf. His gaze was filled with unwillingness and venomous hatred, as though he hoped to seize the slightest opportunity through that stare to break free from Xu Lin's iron-vise grip and launch a fierce counterattack, teaching the kid who had put him through hell a harsh lesson and reclaiming his trampled dignity.
Throughout his retreat, however, Xu Lin stood as calm and unshakable as a towering mountain. His eyes were like torches, remaining vigilant against Keanu's every move and naturally denying him any opening. His hands gripped Keanu as if cast in steel, shattering Keanu's attempts to struggle time and time again.
