Chapter 22 - Muhammad's anger

"Alright, enough talking. Go ahead, beat him up. Don't stop until I tell you to. If anyone stops before I say so, I will personally punish them." Everyone agreed out of fear, because Muhammad's personality had changed so much, it was as if he had become a different person.

Then Ammar spoke: "Why are you listening to him? He's our enemy, and he might betray you all." Ammar turned to call Muhammad a "traitor." He turned his face and was shocked. He looked at Muhammad's face. "Muhammad was laughing and enjoying it as if he were playing with them. His face was terrifying, and there was a lot of malice on it." Ammar felt a fear he had never experienced before.

Ammar felt an overwhelming fear and didn't know what to do. His friends came over and started beating him, while Ammar screamed in pain, begging them to stop. They continued beating him, and Muhammad laughed. The atmosphere was charged with tension, and Muhammad lost control in that moment.

That dark night, a new demon was born. Muhammad was kind to his friends and those who respected him, but he was a ruthless demon, merciless to those who betrayed his friends or those he loved.

Ammar's friends kept beating him until his face was covered in blood. Ammar's friends wanted to stop. Muhammad looked at them and said, "If any of you stop, I will make you suffer. Look at this person in front of you. I'll show you a part of my torment."

He slowly approached Abdul Razzaq, who was crawling away because he couldn't walk. He was screaming and crying, calling Muhammad a demon. Muhammad replied, "I'm a demon? No, you are the demons. You are the ones who beat me. You are the ones who threw me into this. You humans are like this. You're the ones who create evil by bullying, beating the weak, and degrading them. You don't even treat them like human beings. But when a weak person possesses power and seeks revenge, you call him a demon. I'd rather be a demon than a weak and humiliated fool."

"I will show you a pain you've never tasted. I will show you the suffering of all the weak people you've bullied." Then he got closer to Abdul Razzaq's face and said, "Weren't you the one calling me trash? Calling me stupid? Calling me garbage? Where did your courage go?"

Muhammad picked up a knife and began touching Abdul Razzaq's face with it. "Isn't this a wonderful feeling? To have a knife on your face?" He then cut him.

Muhammad wiped Abdul Razzaq's blood off his face and said, "Ah, this blood is so beautiful. I'm almost going crazy. Please, enjoy me a little more, don't pass out like the others."

When Muhammad was about to stab Abdul Razzaq's leg with the knife, Osama screamed, "Muhammad, please stop. You've tortured them enough." Muhammad turned his face and looked into Osama's eyes. Osama felt terror because these were not Muhammad's usual kind eyes. These eyes were filled with evil and fear. Osama felt an immense fear because Muhammad had changed so much.

Muhammad looked at Osama seriously, and after a few moments, he smiled and said, "I'll stop for you this time, but next time, if you dare… No, wait. If any of you touch a single hair on Osama, I will find you and torture you in ways you've never seen before." Muhammad looked at them with a warning glance.

"And also, if anyone tries to tell the police what happened or tells anyone, do you know what will happen?" Muhammad asked in a terrifying tone. Everyone felt fear; Mustafa, Khaled, and Ammar passed out. Yusuf and Abdul Razzaq had broken legs. Others were paralyzed with fear.

"Do you understand?" Muhammad asked with a serious tone. Everyone said, "Yes."

Ammar and his friends left after a humiliating battle. This was the first time Muhammad had used his power.

Muhammad went to Osama and untied his ropes and asked, "Are you okay?"

Osama replied, "Yes, I'm fine, thanks to you."

Muhammad said, "Why are you thanking me? I'm just helping you. If I didn't help you, how could I call myself your friend?"

Osama replied, "Thank you. I will also help you if you ever need anything. But there's something I'm confused about."

Muhammad responded, "What's that?"

Osama said, "How did you get so strong? How did you manage to defeat 14 people? How did you become so powerful and scary? I couldn't believe my eyes!"

Muhammad laughed and said, "Do you think I'm strong? Remember when I used to train with my mother? She could knock me down with just one light slap."

Muhammad replied, "It's just training. When you train, you'll get stronger. I was weak four months ago, and now I'm a little stronger. Strength doesn't come in a day; it comes through hard work."

"Just thinking about changing your life and becoming stronger is a victory and power in itself. You're a very smart person. You will become stronger in the future, I believe in you."

Osama was touched because it was the first time in his life that someone told him they believed in him.

Osama replied, "Thank you. I won't disappoint you. I will become stronger so I can stand by your side and not be an obstacle in your way. I will follow you even if you go to the end of the world or to another world, because you're my only friend, and I'll do anything."

Muhammad replied, "Ha ha, don't get too excited. Another world!? We're going to grow old and die here, ha ha ha."

Osama replied, "You're so pessimistic. Who told you we'll grow old and die? Don't you think we might do great things in the future? We could travel around the world, explore new things, and discover new challenges?"

Muhammad replied, "Oh! That sounds really exciting. Let's do that in the future."

While Muhammad was enjoying the moment with his friend, he didn't realize that he was nearing the end of his days in this world, and that he would soon be saying goodbye to his only friend after struggling so much to gain a friend, only to leave him behind.
