Probably no one expected it, except for Sam himself. The burly young thug was simply knocked down by a single punch from Sam, without even a hint of resistance.
Lying on the ground, he looked almost dead, only his vacant, wide-open eyes and rapid breathing proving he was still alive. When Sam released his foot, the thug just lay there flat.
The remaining two looked at Sam with eyes wide with terror, unable to believe what they were seeing in this young man.
"What... what are you doing!" Sam looked amusedly at the remaining two skinny thugs.
"Weren't you the ones who started this? Now that you see things aren't going your way, you want to play the victims?"
The two men glared at Sam with evident hatred, but their fear was more pronounced due to the power Sam had just displayed.
