Apollo approached the deserted corner, ensuring no one was around, providing the follower with the best opportunity.
The follower also seemed to notice and made his move. Instantaneously, a mysterious figure attacked Apollo from behind.
The attacker anticipated a painful outcome as his dagger moved to pierce Apollo's back. However, his hopeful expectations vanished when Apollo turned around and effortlessly caught the dagger between two fingers, preventing it from moving an inch.
"What! How is this possible?"
The attacker couldn't believe what he was seeing. He started to panic and wanted to run away immediately, but Apollo wasn't about to let him escape.
He seized the man's head as though he were a feeble child attempting to flee. The strength difference was massive; the man tried everything, but he couldn't budge Apollo's grip.
"Okay, stop it; it's no use."
Apollo said in a low voice as he began to tighten his grip even further.
