Chapter 531

• My eyes snapped open as a hood was pulled over my head, and I couldn’t see anything. Instinctively, I raised my hands and red fire formed in my palms, but someone stronger than me grabbed them and tied my hands behind my back.
• I was pushed toward the door, but I stopped suddenly and turned around. I ran into the person behind me with my shoulder. We both fell forward, and I felt him on top of me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and started squeezing. If you did this the right way, you could break someone’s ribs in the process. I could feel his face near mine, and I snapped my head forward, hitting him on the nose, and I smelled his blood.
• “Shit, Kai. Calm down,” Carl said, and I relaxed my legs. He pulled me to my feet, and I felt his hand on my arm.
