However, just like the previous fire, this one also halted right in front of the vegetable seller, unable to advance even an inch.

No matter how ferocious the flames became or how high the temperature soared.

The crowd erupted in astonishment.

The two ability users felt a surge of fear, unwelcome thoughts creeping into their minds.

Could it be that they had targeted someone who they shouldn't be offended?

Unsure of what to do, they cast a glance at Yoo Wonduk.

Yoo Wonduk visibly displayed a look of panic.

What was he supposed to do? He had no idea how to handle this situation! How could he have known that this person was so powerful that even two Level 2 ability users couldn't deal with him? After all, he had previously relied on these two people to dominate not only the Third District but even the Fourth District.

No, it wasn't his fault; it was the vegetable seller's. With such extraordinary abilities, why was he even here in this rundown district? There were plenty of better places; why did he come to this place? If it weren't for that, would he have come to provoke him?

The attacker showed signs of weakness while the one being attacked stood casually. Yet in the eyes of the crowd, he had become an enigmatic figure.

Finally, the latter spoke up, "Is it over? Then… it's my turn."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the raging flames around Kim Haru vanished without a trace.

At the same time, a scream erupted from Yoo Wonduk, who frantically slapped at his own body, hopping around on his feet. His cries were intermingled with "It's so hot!" "Help!" "Fire, fire!" in various pitches.

Before anyone could react, he was already rolling on the ground.

He looked just like someone who had been severely burned!

However, everyone could see that he didn't have a single spark or even a hint of red on him.

The two ability users and Gwon Damjin rushed over to help Yoo Wonduk up, but as soon as their hands touched him, they let out miserable cries!

Gwon Damjin dodged around, repeatedly howling in pain, yet he remained rooted in place, struggling as if trapped by something, taking hit after hit.

The two ability users had already rolled onto the ground with Yoo Wonduk, as if the flames on him had also spread to them.

On the ground were the four of them writhing in agony, while not far away stood Kim Haru, tall and expressionless, watching the "performance" before him.

The crowd silently took several steps back.

This bizarre scene made the vegetable seller appear particularly profound and mysterious in their eyes, radiating a chilling aura.

They looked at Kim Haru with awe, speculating about what thoughts lay behind his icy expression. Was he considering how to punish Yoo Wonduk and the others even more? Or was he contemplating whether to wipe out the entire Yoo family?

Just the thought of the Yoo family facing disaster brought a quiet sense of delight to their hearts.
