"Nothing's confirmed yet. Don't be so discouraged." Nathaniel shook his head and flicked his cigarette. "Don't forget, Henry didn't come back alone.""Are you talking about the group of so-called ancient kickboxers that he brought back?" Arianna raised her eyebrows disapprovingly, "I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but the so-called old kickboxer family is overstated. For years, no one has seen them in action, nor has anyone seen how powerful they are. I'm not trying to pry, but you've been with Lily for many years. Is she that powerful?"Nathaniel did not answer."See, although they may have been powerful in the past, don't forget what era we're in now. How can their skills be stronger than guns? Even if we don't have our weapons, if they are as powerful as the legend goes, why didn't Henry make a move? Why do they have to wait until the police get involved? From what I see, it’s all just a bluff!" Initially, she did not want to say any of these. If everything were smooth sa
After taking the flash drive, Nathaniel repeated it multiple times.Although it was just an audio recording, he knew Lily was aware of his meet-up with Henry the other day. She watched their every move, and they let her slip under their noses.Thinking back, Nathaniel felt a layer of cold sweat forming on his back. He used to think that he was stealthy while she was naive. He thought that he could slip past her and she wouldn't notice. Little did he know that she had eyes everywhere. He had to be more careful. However, Nathaniel reassured himself with the fact that Lily did not know much about his deal with Henry. As of now, Wilfred's cause of death had yet to be determined. After listening to the recording repeatedly, the only part that piqued his interest was how Lily managed to "poison" Henry. As it was just an audio recording, Nathaniel couldn't see what was happening and could only make guesses from the voices. Henry sounded like he was poisoned or that Lily managed to s
It was clear he put in a lot of effort to solve them. He would have spent less time if it were as easy as he said.Lily slowly looked out the window and said, “Reporting this matter to the police will definitely affect the Lodge family’s reputation.”“There’s nothing more important than Grandpa.” He said word by word.This incident would significantly impact the Lodge family if exposed publicly, but both of them had the same consensus on this matter.Justin was a taciturn person and not very good at words. Lily said a few words and could not continue the conversation further, and silence befell them once again.The car only took a short time to drive back to the Lodge family residence. The entire house was shrouded in darkness and seemed gloomy after the turmoil of the past few days.“Something’s not right!” Lily soon noticed something was out of place. She raised her eyebrows and focused on her hearing, sensing that the overall atmosphere was not right. The Lodge family house
Henry waved, and Lily immediately felt people surrounding her and rushing toward her from all directions. She instinctively bent down, quickly attacked one of the men who approached her from her side with a whirlwind kick, and sent him flying.After that, she punched her opponents behind her. Three to four people were lying on the ground when she finally landed. She quickly glanced at Justin’s side and noticed he was also fighting. She did not have the time to look at him for too long because more opponents were rushing toward her.Their skills were not as good as Lily’s, but they were one level higher than the Lodge family’s disciples. It was not because they had better foundations but because their moves were ruthless.The Lodge family had a long tradition as an ancient kickboxing family, and in their principle, practitioners must first cultivate their virtue before learning kickboxing. Therefore, they learned to be benevolent when using their learned kickboxing skills. Their move
At the moment, Justin thought he never truly knew Lily.“W-Why you…” Henry was extremely shocked as he had never expected Lily to be so powerful. He took a few steps back and shouted, “Attack! Attack!”Lily felt a cold and harsh wind before she stepped forward. She also felt something sharp flying toward her.“Watch out!” Justin yelled.Lily furrowed her brows and turned her body slightly to avoid the oncoming threat. Her feet moved around quickly in a circle, and her opponent’s movement was equally as fast. Two figures moved around quickly.“Henry Lodge, you colluded with others…” Someone attacked Justin before he could finish his sentence. Justin had no choice but to fight back immediately. There was one opponent on the left and another on the right. Both sides were fighting ferociously as the newcomers had much better skills than the ones before.Lily calmed down and concentrated on her battle. She finally saw how her opponent looked after dozens of moves. Her opponent had a b
When Henry shouted, Apollo and Creed's moves became swifter and more violent.Justin never expected them to be here, so he could only fight with all his heart as he was shocked. They had fought with hundreds of moves, yet there was still no clear winner.Henry's shouting distracted Justin for a while. Looking back, Justin saw Apollo and Creed’s feet were already in front of him. Justin hurriedly dodged but was still a step late. His chest instantly became stuffy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat."Pfft..." He fell, hurt.Seeing that Justin was injured, Henry sighed in relief and became less nervous. He raised his voice, "Don't kill them! I want them alive!"He returned to the Lodge family to hold the family's power and get back what he wanted. However, Henry also wanted to avoid causing too much trouble.After all, they were members of the Lodge family, and it would be non-beneficial to him to cause death. Henry only needed them to be obedient, and they would be fine i
Apollo had confidence in his skills and strength to withstand this move, but as soon as it fell on him, he heard the crack of his bones and roared in pain.Justin stood by at first, ready to rush in and lend a hand. Then he took a deep breath, assessed the situation, and realized Lily was fine. He was shocked since he did not know when she had developed such advanced abilities. Given the circumstances, though, this was a good advantage.Henry was hunched over, staring nervously at the action. The situation had become much more dire. He had begun to doubt his chances of victory and was clinging to the chair's arm for support."Can't you even take down a little girl?! With your skills like this, how would you explain yourself to your master?!" He screamed furiously.Henry sensed something was off as he watched Justin extend a hand headed straight for him."Justin, Justin..." Henry stood up in a panic and stepped back. He knocked over the chair, tripped, and stumbled back.Henry did
Justin also realized this and let go of Henry as it was no longer necessary. Henry had no power to threaten anyone himself. Now that he had lost their support, he did not pose any threat."Why, why would this happen..."Frightened by the dart coming toward him, Henry was shaking like a leaf. He became weak and slid to the ground as Justin withdrew his hand. He sat on the floor with his eyes wide open as he could not recover from his fright.The dart just now almost cost him his life. Henry's eyes fixed on the dart on the ground. The incident was still revolving in his mind as he almost faced the reaper!His hands clenched into fists, and his heart was full of anger, but he did not dare to speak again as he stared fiercely at the direction of the fight.The three were entangled together, but Lily was not panicked. She seemed to be able to handle it with ease. About ten minutes later, crashing sounds were heard as Apollo and Creed fell to the ground. Apollo, who was already injured,
