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,
"I'm asking you if you did it!"Lily reached out and lifted Henry's collar, pulling him off the ground. She glared fiercely at him.Justin watched beside her, stunned, as he did not expect her to have such great strength. When he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.Justin looked for the source of the sound as his phone fell in the courtyard during the fight. He walked over to pick it up. Although the screen cracked, it was still working. Justin was unsure who was calling but answered, "Hello?"While listening to the other end of the phone, he seemed distracted. He raised his eyes to look at Lily.Henry was almost breathless, saying, "I didn’t expect that my plan that I've been working on for so long would fail because of you. If I had known earlier, I should’ve...”Before Henry could finish speaking, he coughed.At the same time, Justin ended the phone call. He put down his phone, walked to Lily quickly, and said, "The call was from the police station. The for
Lily returned to her hotel shortly after.Too many things had happened in the Lodge family residence over the past three days. She felt traces of her childhood and Wilfred's shadow everywhere when she stayed with the Lodge family residence and could not help but feel upset.She used to think there was an estrangement between herself and Wilfred, that their relationship was not that strong. However, now that her grandfather had passed away, she realized she was missing him.Lily’s parents passed away when she was a child, so she grew up with her grandfather. She resented Wilfred because she thought he was always too strict. She only realized when she grew up that her grandfather did whatever was necessary for her good.Lily would have injured herself numerous times without his care. However, her grandfather would never return now. She wanted to avenge her grandfather, but after all her efforts, she only got the result of "natural death." She did not even have the chance to avenge Wilfre
Lily was fair and slender. She did not look very strong, but at that moment, the energy that burst out of her body surprised even herself. The situation was urgent, and others might not have seen what had happened. Lily knew from her fight with Apollo that she was at a slight disadvantage from the start and did not take much advantage of him.Although she had practiced kickboxing since she was a child, it was mostly for self-defense, and she had no choice but to learn it. She was unsure of her own capabilities. She had gotten older and stopped training after she entered college. Besides practicing the moves with her peers, she only fought with Justin. Even so, it was just a few moves, so she felt her skills were inferior.The last time she fought was when she got kidnapped in Westwood. At that time, she was also a little surprised. After thinking back, she speculated that facing a grave threat had stimulated her body, but did it happen again?"What are you thinking about?" Alexand
Alexander deliberately made himself seem more vicious and pulled Lily closer. He softly spoke as he placed his forehead on Lily’s, “Since I'm such a terrifying man, aren't you afraid of facing me every day?"Seeing him making faces on purpose, Lily laughed even louder. Her sullen heart seemed more at ease. "Why should I be afraid? Should I worry that you’ll eat me?""So you’re not afraid?" Holding her chin, Alexander snorted."Nope!" Lily shook her head, quickly kissed her husband’s lips, and whispered, "It's not like you’ve never tried that before!"Alexander did not reply because he noticed Lily was being provocative with her reddened cheeks. He did want to eat her right now. Suppressing his impulsive thoughts, he kissed her forehead and said, "It's easy to let a person die. Sometimes, living is more painful than dying."Hearing his words, Lily fell silent.What Alexander said was true. If Henry got locked up and prohibited from exiting Sapphine, he could only stay and never ge
"I recently heard the news about the new project department, and you did a good job." Joseph's voice came from the study, laced with satisfaction, "You didn’t let me down.”Outside the door, Arianna stopped and held her breath subconsciously, not wanting to alert the people inside. "Dad, like I said earlier, I won't disappoint you!" Damian's triumphant voice could be heard from inside, and he said confidently, "At least I graduated from business administration. Just wait and see! I’ll make achievements that will impress all the company’s old-timers!"Hearing his words, Arianna almost laughed out loud. This so-called accomplished newbie was just bragging. Joseph paid for his meager college education so he could be sent abroad to be plated with gold. Although he may have graduated as an honors student, he still lacked the skills necessary to manage practical operations. It would require him to face the complexity of the business, which a nerd like him would not be able to pic
