Max caught upto Sophie before she could go too far into the streets. At this point they were only 1 killometer ish away from the upside and the area was still under military protection.

Max held Sophie's arm tightly and immobilized her weapon arm as he gave a tight slap across her face.

SLAP!

Sophie was stunned to see that Max hit her and she waited for Max's eyes to turn apologetic but it did not , the rage in his eyes never subsided as he kept glaring at the woman.

" Why did you hit me ? " Sophie said a tear rolling down her eye, however Max was no longer affected by her crocodile tears

Max said " You've stop acting crazy , I'm not your property and you are not mine. If you want to be in a healthy relationship with me then you need to understand boundries .

You are not the most important individual to me in this entire universe and you probably never will be.

My brother is the most important for me in this world followed by my sister in law and my to be nephews , MY FAMILY IS FIRST FOR ME , and until you become my family you're just a girlfriend

You have no standing in my life ".

Sophie was bewildered, all the brainwashing she had done for Max all seemed to be crumbling down at the moment, however she had no idea why.

" When have i ever obstructed you or your family? All I've ever done is be nice to them, i went shopping with your sister-in-law, i spent hours trying to find good twin baby names for your upcoming nephew and niece , all i have ever shown your brother is respect but he treats me like a succubus bitch , WHERE AM I WRONG IN THIS?" Sophie asked

Max felt frustrated at this second , he had a million things to point out to Sophie but he was not the most eloquent speaker and could not twist facts like Sophie did which is why his retort did not seem as strong when he spoke it versus when he thought about it." You made a ruckus when u were hospitalized and my sister in law was not feeling well. On multiple occasions you've tried to tell me my brother is not actually my well wisher , you are the sole reason i had a fight with him, you are WRONG, there is no question about it ". Max replied with disgust.

Sophie looked to be take aback as she said " I caused a ruckus at the hospital? Yes , i was weak and feeling needy and wanted you to stay with me when i was recovering, sorry if I OBSTRUCTED you going to your sister in law when i was feeling so low.

Sorry i almost died for you when u ditched my with dripping anesthesia in my veins and ALMOST KILL ME.

Sorry i told you facts that your brother is holding you back , because i for one think your potential is unlimited and YOU CAN BECOME BETTER THAN HIM in the future ".

Max gave a dangerous glare to Sophie who glared back with equal fury.

Smiling Max said " If i say you are wrong , then you admit you are wrong , end of discussion".

Sophie wanted to retort but then she looked into Max's black eyes and realised this was not a man to be messed with.

It was the same look that came in Rudra's eyes when he was calmly waiting for his enemy to strike first and fall into his trap, the eyes of an apex predator stalking its prey.

Sophie gulped as she refused to meet Max's eyes and looked away.

" You will drop this knife now and come back with me to the upside and stop acting like a crazy bitch , or else .... "

" Or else what? " Sophie interrupted, still full of herself" Or else nothing, i walk back without caring for you and you can go be the criminal you want to be , but know that if you don't drop that knife and be back inside the upside before i reach there , you and me are over ". Saying this Max coldly started to walk back as Sophie stood on the streets speechless.

This was not the Max she knew , something had changed in the time she was at the hospital, the max she tamed did not have such a spine to him.

Sophie could not afford to loose Max so naturally the knife fell from her hands as she ran back to chase Max, from the very start it was all a ploy to get his attention and nothing more, and since Max was not buying what she was selling there was no point in remaining stubborn.

*******

Jhonny who had taken out three archers and six gangsters who were lurking in the shadows while the kids fought loudly in the open sighed deeply.

He was choking out a man between his arms and chest as he said " Young love eh? Makes one stupid. I gave my boy Max such a good Ball crushing technique yet he still chases women and their big jugs.

A dumb boy indeed

Not worthy of being my disciple ".

MMMPHHJMPHHH

The man that Jhonny was choking mumbled in oxygen deprivation and Jhonny continued " Yes yes i will also let you experience my legendary ball crush, don't be so impatient " .

Keeping him under wraps with his right arm Jhonny reached down slowly towards the man's pants and slowly unbuttoned the pant.

The muffling sound and struggling intensified as pure horror could be seen in the man's eyes as Jhonny slowly unzipped him and slid down his pants.

" Shh shh shh , there there " Jhonny said comforting him as he slid his hand into his underwear and then suddenlyCRUNCH

Two precious walnuts were destroyed as the man passed out from the pain , turning from a man to eunuch in a single incident.

Jhonny stood up and patted the dust off himself as he wondered " Noone has balls as big as the devil , noone is satisfactory enough.

Maybe I should crush Max's balls atleast then he would be free from the witch's spell ".
