“You’re asking for death!” Thomas did not dither and swiftly kicked at the wrist of the man holding the knife.
Bang!
The man retreated two steps after being kicked by Thomas.
Afterward, the three burly men exchanged glances with a hint of displeasure in their eyes. Who the heck is this dude? We were close to reaching our goal when this reckless fool appeared and ruined everything! Who cares about his identity anyway? First, we eliminate this tyrant, and then this woman!
These three men were from the Hind, Yam, and Xalmar Families, and each of these families had sent a member of their hidden forces to assassinate Chloe. During their journey, they had already murdered numerous people. The moment they stepped out of the car, a mob of more than ten men swarmed in to attack them, but these three men fought back and engaged in a fierce battle.
After the battle, they realized those who attacked them had displayed impressive skill. Although the men who attacked them were slightly inferior to them, these three burly men regarded their attacker as experts in the city. It dawned on them that there must be more to this than simply murdering a defenseless woman and that their employer must have had other reasons for assigning them to handle this personally.
When the three men realized their cover had been blown, they quickly resorted to deadly force and killed everyone around them. Nevertheless, this was only the beginning of the battle, as they soon encountered another group of over ten men as they entered the residential complex, and another group awaited them at the building’s entrance.
After some deliberation, the three decided that entering through a window would be preferable to going through the stairwell because they assumed more people would be waiting for them there.
Consequently, this was why these three burly men forced their way through the window.
Meanwhile, Thomas shielded Chloe behind him while frowning as the three men approached. He had a keen vision, so a quick glance at their movements revealed that these three burly men were not ordinary, and he concluded that they were on par with the six intruders who had previously stormed into Northpine Villa.
Nonetheless, he was still physically weak, and it was inappropriate for him to fight, but given the circumstances, he had no choice but to take action, despite his preference. While considering his current physical condition, he could easily handle three opponents, but if they were of Blake’s caliber, he might have some trouble.
Bang! Bang!
At this point, Thomas stood his ground and swung his Iron Fists vigorously, creating a gust of wind. When confronted with the three men’s attacks, he did not attempt to avoid them; rather, he countered their strikes head-on!
Crack!
In contrast, one of the burly men was slightly weaker than the others, lowered his guard, and was punched in the chest by Thomas. Suddenly, he was propelled through the air and crashed into the wall, coughing blood. Then, his eyes rolled back, and he stopped breathing.
“What?”
“How is this possible?”
What kind of strength does this guy possess to kill a member of the Xalmar Family’s hidden forces with a single punch? Even the two of us couldn’t pull off such a feat!
“Let’s attack together! Combine our forces!”
The two men made a split-second decision to work together in an attack when they realized Thomas was not someone to be trifled with. Each struck simultaneously, one aimed at Thomas’ left side and the other at his right. Their techniques were vicious, as they targeted the vital parts of his body.
At this instant, Thomas pushed Chloe out of the kitchen, fearing for her safety.
Meanwhile, Molly stood in the living room, watching the events unfold while covering her mouth in shock and feeling her legs go weak as she tried to process what was happening. What’s going on? Are those three guys assassins?
On the contrary, Chloe’s mind was muddled. She was just a regular girl who had never experienced anything like this before, and she was completely taken aback by the chaos unfolding before her. Once she regained her composure, she realized Thomas had shoved her into the living room. Then, when she turned around to look in the kitchen, she saw only the closed door.
As soon as he shoved her out of the kitchen, he shut the door behind them. He was concerned that the two assassins would try to sneak past him and harm her if he wasn’t paying attention. After all, it was obvious that their intentions were after her.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In the meantime, the sound of impact echoed through the kitchen as Thomas coolly sidestepped the attacks of the two men, who were no match for him. There are only three of them, and one of them is already dead. I only need one of them to be alive to figure out who sent them! With that in mind, he changed his strategy from defensive to offensive. He swung his fist like lightning, carrying a tremendous thunderous force as it struck one of the men square in the face.
Bang!
Crack!
The sound of bones fracturing resounded, and the man fell to the ground. His face resembled a bloodied car accident scene, with his features so deformed that they were unrecognizable and fresh blood covering his entire face.
“Holy sh*t!” The last man standing gasped in horror at the gruesome sight. Thomas had killed two of his companions, and the man knew he would suffer the same fate if he stayed. As a result, the man resolved to flee for his life before it was too late. Then, the man saw his opportunity, feigned an attack, and dashed toward the window, but Thomas had already figured out what he was up to. How could he have let the guy get away so easily? With a swift motion, Thomas lifted his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the man’s lower back. Thud!
Instantaneously, the man coughed a mouthful of blood and fell flat on his face. He was barely conscious as he turned his head, glaring at Thomas with malice. “Who the hell are you?” Is this man a fool, or what? Someone with such talent is undoubtedly a prominent figure in Irieson, but why would a high-ranking individual protect Chloe, a regular girl with no notable background? Nothing about this makes sense to me.
“Interesting! You were the ones who broke into my house, and now you want to know who I am,” Thomas chuckled. He was no longer in a hurry because the man could no longer run away after his kick had fractured his spine, rendering the man crippled. Then, he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled slowly. “Tell me, who sent you?”
“Hmph!” The man glanced at him with disdain. No matter what happens, I will never betray my family.
“If you tell me, I’ll spare your life. Although your spine is broken because of me, it can still be treated with enough money.”
“You’re dreaming! Death before dishonor. You can kill or dismember me as you please!” The man had the fortitude to uphold his commitment because he had been raised and trained by the Yam Family,
and he belonged to them in both life and death, so it was impossible for him to betray them.
After hearing this, Thomas walked over to the man, standing by his side. “You’re not afraid of death, are you? Still, do you know that death itself isn’t the scariest thing? The most terrifying thing is suffering that is worse than death.”
Before the man could respond, Thomas lifted his foot and stepped on one of the man’s fingers.
Crunch!
“Ah!”
The excruciating pain of having his finger crushed was unbearable.
However, Thomas continued speaking, his voice not loud, but each word drilling itself into the man’s mind. To the man, it felt as though it wasn’t the voice of a human but rather the murmur of a demon from hell itself.
