Chapter 174 Told you she was hot!
Marhal chuckled. “Good. We like a bit of resistance. Makes the hunt more interesting. It’s even more interesting that Boss is out for some work, we have all the time we can get.”
“Trust me, you won’t like it when the hunter gets hunted!” Suzzy replied, barely with her head pressed to a wall.
The force Roman was exerting on her was getting too much; she could barely talk normally.
“Hey! Would you like to go easy on her? Don’t tarnish the pretty face!” Marhal said to Roman, who was restraining Suzzy harshly.
“There you go with your daft antics. Think she gives a second thought about you? Pathetic!” Roman replied.
Suzzy utilized that small distraction to free herself from Roman’s grip. She turned swiftly and kicked him with the sole of her foot.
Roman moved back a bit and laughed, “When are you gonna twig that you don’t stand a chance against me?” Roman replied, smiling as he moved closer to her.
“Go easy on her…” Marhal was about to say when Sully also took that chance, saying, “Don’t lay your hands on my sister!” and pushed himself up forcefully with his hands.
The force he exerted was so great that it pushed Marhal into the air, freeing him.
Marhal flew but instead of falling to the ground, he landed on his feet.
“Kids!” Marhal simply said, and with great speed that tore the air, he swiftly approached Sully and unleashed a powerful blow on his back.
“Ughhhh!!!” Sully screamed before falling to the ground, barely moving.
“Oi! Easy on the lip, mate. Boss might see them wounds on them and catch wind of it. He’ll reckon it’s our fault they scarpered, and you know he don’t take sloppiness lightly, yeah?” Roman advised.
“Sul…. Sully?” Suzzy said as she saw Sully lying almost lifeless.
She concluded he was dead, as he wasn’t moving a muscle. She knew her brother wasn’t a very tough guy, but he could be very stubborn at times.
As he lay down, thin faint blood was seen running from his mouth to the ground. His eyes were tightly shut and he wasn’t making any form of movement.
“You…you…you… Killed him, you killed Sully!” Suzzy said, her voice trembling, her eyes already wet, and tears gently flowing.
“He can’t be dead; only a weakling will just die from that single blow. I didn’t even use full force…” Marhal was trying to explain, but before he could finish, Suzzy grabbed Roman by the neck and threw him against Marhal, and they both fell down.
“What the heck?” Marhal exclaimed as he turned to look at her.
“How’d you get so buff, then?” Roman said, shocked. He knew she wasn’t that strong to hold him by the neck and throw him with a single hand.
“I…will…I will kill you all!” Suzzy shouted as the tears in her eyes started drying out.
Suddenly, steam started evaporating from her eyes. From her breath came smoke, her skin was gradually turning pale. Her hands started becoming red and radiating.
The shoes on her feet gradually melted into wax, and her glowing red feet were now visible. The shoes melted due to the heat from the sole of her feet.
“Watch me closing in hot!” Suzzy said angrily.
As she took a step close to Roman and Marhal, who were still on the ground, they noticed smoke after each step she took. The green grass also started getting burnt.
“What’s all this?” Roman asked silently out of curiosity. It was clear that he had never seen anything of that nature.
Her eyes also followed her feet and hands, then turned red due to rage. As she folded her hands, a red ball, like fire but brighter, formed in her hands, and she threw it at them.
The force behind it was so great that despite their attempts to escape, the ball caught them. Immediately upon landing, a bright fire exploded on their clothes.
“Damn!”
They quickly quenched the fire with their hands, but it managed to leave a minor burn on Marhal’s face, barely identifiable but surprisingly hotter than usual. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Once relaxed, they were now on guard, realizing the heightened threat.
Suzzy folded her hands again and formed another ball, this time even larger.
“Hahh!” she shouted as she threw the ball against them. Anticipating the attack, they split into two, each evading the assault.
“That was close!” Marhal exclaimed.
“This could be when your soft spot for her would be useful, but too bad there ain’t one!” Roman shouted.
Suzzy turned towards Marhal and shot another fireball at him. He jumped back, narrowly escaping once more.
“Quit fooling around and let’s find a way to stop her!” Marhal replied to Roman after narrowly escaping the assault.
“Well, looks like she’s got a bone to pick with you, not me. Sort that out on your own!”Roman replied.
As soon as he finished his statement, he saw a fireball coming right at his face.”Or maybe not, eh?” he shouted before evading the fireball and jumping back beside Marhal.
“I figured out she can’t fight both of us at the same time. One of us will distract her, and the other knocks her unconscious!” Marhal suggested.
Before Roman could reply, Suzzy threw another ball at them, which they narrowly escaped once more.
As Suzzy turned to fire another ball at Marhal, Roman utilized that chance and jumped toward her, his fist folded and ready to unleash a disastrous blow on Suzzy.
The look in his eyes was that of rage as he aimed for her head.
As he got closer to her in the air, he moved his hands back and was about to launch the attack.
Suddenly, she turned towards him and held him by the neck.
“Hooott!” he screamed as he felt her heated hands on his neck. His eyes bulged out due to the firmness of her grip and the heat.
Suddenly, Marhal appeared from behind Suzzy and knocked her out heavily with his hands, and she fell down unconscious.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Roman coughed or whatever due to suddenly getting free from Suzzy’s hot and firm grip. He held his neck, the source of the pain.
“She almost killed me! I wonder how a young girl could suddenly transform into being like that!” Roman complained.
“Didn’t I tell you that she was hot?” Marhal asked playfully.
Roman hissed and walked to observe her; immediately she went unconscious, the glowing red light on her feet and hands disappeared.
Roman gently touched her and felt her temperature, “She’s still hot, surprisingly.” he said after touching her.
Marhal, however, walked to Sully, who had been on the ground for a longer time, and rolled him on the ground, his back against the ground.
“Is he still kicking about?” Roman asked curiously.
Marhal touched Sully’s body and sighed heavily, “He’s still alive!”
“Sharpish, let’s get ’em back before Boss comes back!” Roman said as he walked to where Sully was lying and lifted him up.
“You can manage your hot bird, can’t you?” Roman said after lifting Sully on his shoulder and started walking back to the prison cell.
Marhal was a bit hesitant initially but decided to carry her after Roman’s second warning, “It’s nearly sunrise; Boss might be up and about to come. Let’s crack on.”
Marhal lifted Suzzy in his hands instead of on his shoulder, just as Roman did, and followed Roman’s lead.

They were very hasty, and they reached the prison cell in no time.
“I reckon your bird’s the one who nicked this hole, ’cause I can’t see this bloke pulling off something like that.” Roman said as they stood in front of the large hole in the wall of the prison cell.
The hole was large enough for about twenty people to pass through.
“How did they break through this, considering how strong this wall is? Remember the time Boss was telling us that the walls of these buildings were built using one of the oldest and strongest bricks yet, right?” Marhal said.
“Yeah, but are they really that strong to bust through? Not even Mando, the toughest lag we’ve ever had, managed to break through this wall.” Roman said puzzled.
“Or did they use a trick unknown to us?” Marhal asked, confused.
“No time to muck about; let’s stash ’em in the next empty cell. Doubt Boss will clock any difference – he ain’t one for regular checks anyway! We’ll also inform the other ranks not to cough a word about their failed escape.” Roman said.
They quickly walked to the next prison cell. It was pitch dark inside, with no light or moonlight to illuminate the cell.
Marhal, being the one with the key, laid Suzzy down on the ground and seized the key from the top of his trousers.
He quickly opened it, immediately the door lock opened, he pushed it, moving back to grab Suzzy and bring her inside.
Roman quickly entered before Marhal, dropping Sully in the middle of the room, and turned to walk away, while Marhal followed suit quickly.
As they turned to walk away, they saw a small red light at the end of the building, and suddenly a voice followed.
“You actually kept me waiting, guys!” The voice said.
Upon recognizing the voice, they both exclaimed, “Boss?”
