I stared into the man's eyes, and for a brief moment, I couldn't help but notice how captivating they were. But, that was exactly what they were—captivating. Nothing more. He seemed to forget who was in charge here. I wasn't the strongest in the world just for show, but let's be real: I was. And this arrogant little bastard had pushed my buttons, which meant it was time for him to learn that no one messed with me and walked away unscathed.
"Please don't misunderstand," the man spoke, breaking my thoughts, "I just wanted to see if the rumors were true. And yes, indeed, you are the strongest around, but... are you strong enough to take down the beast in the ocean?"
He raised his hands in mock surrender, yet his face betrayed him—amusement danced in his eyes. I knew exactly what he was thinking. He still believed he could take me in a fight, didn't he? Cute. It didn't matter now, though. I wasn't here for games.
