The two thugs who were hit by Jordan fingers held their throat with their hands with blood seeping from their hands, trying to talk but couldn’t not they fell down backwards dead.

Jordan looked at his two bloody fingers and asked who is next.

There was sudden pandemonium in the room with the thugs picking the weapons they could find in the room, so one found a knife and threw it at Jordan but he jumped and gave the knife a flying kick , the knife then stuck at the back bone of the thug who was at the door, trying to open it to escape.

Jordan moved using his fingers to strike the ribs of each thug until the last.

They stood like statutes after Jordan struck them, they couldnt move any part of their bodies at all and even couldn’t breath.
