This time Lucien knew his foot landed squarely on Jack's head. Taking a deep breath, he murmured, "No matter how strong you are, in front of me you're just a child from yesterday! Your experience is not even a fraction of mine! Hahaha!" The senior bodyguard was about to leave when a voice came from behind him. "Mr. Galway, where do you think you're going? Isn't the fight far from over?" Lucien immediately froze in place. He knew whose voice it was. Soon, a big question mark appeared in his mind. "Didn't I crush his head earlier?" Lucien hoped it was just his hallucination. However, not long after, a familiar figure appeared before him. "You..." Lucien couldn't continue his sentence. "Do you want to leave?" The figure, none other than Jack, stopped him. "Unfortunately, I won't let you until one of us dies!" After saying that, Jack swiftly directed his fist towards Lucien's chest with all his might. Bang! Unprepared for the attack, Lucien could only watch as his body was thrown

"He's like murmuring a mantra!" "A mantra?" Jack thought. "What do you mean?" Jack seemed unaware of Quantara's meaning when he heard a growling sound from behind him, not too far away. "Rrrgh!" It was Wim's voice! However, it also reminded him of a sound not too unfamiliar, a sound once emitted by a humanoid creature with a bear's head that he had fought in the old warehouse. "Why does it seem like I'm hearing that creature's voice again?" Jack murmured, then turned his head back. At that moment, he saw Lucien placing his palm on Wim's head, while the young man closed his eyes and growled from his mouth. Jack almost thought Lucien was treating his disciple when Quantara whispered in his ear again. "Lucien seems to be trying to influence Wim! You have to stop him now!" "You scoundrel!" Jack exclaimed. Without further thought or waiting any longer, he immediately approached Lucien and grabbed his collar, pulling him away from Wim. "What are you trying to do to him? Come on, te

"Go, Jack! The issue between us is settled!" Lucien looked at Jack as if there was no more resentment or anything between them. "May there be no grudge left in your heart towards me!" Jack didn't say anything else, just turned his body around. There were no farewells or anything he said to the senior bodyguard. Just as he took his first step, a strong gust of wind was felt from behind. Woosh! Jack was about to turn around when a hard punch hit his back. Bang! Jack was thrown forward more than ten meters. "Damn!" he muttered. He quickly got up and saw Wim standing there, looking at him with a fierce gaze. "Hahaha! Fool! Such a fool! After I told you everything, you thought I would let you go, Jack?" Lucien, standing not far behind Wim, laughed with great satisfaction. "That's impossible! Of course, I will kill you first!" All this time Lucien had kept his allegiance to Leon hidden. He wouldn't let anyone know unless they were willing to join him in siding with Leon. And becau

"Damn it!" muttered Jack. "His reflexes are still very fast!" "He may not be used to his new body yet, but he is still very strong and fast, Jack!" whispered Quantara. At the same time, after successfully knocking down the clone of Jack, Wim turned back towards him. "Rrrrgh!" This time he growled louder as if becoming very angry at what Jack had done by ambushing him. In the blink of an eye, Wim stood before Jack again. "Rrrgh!" With a roar like that, the werewolf no longer just slammed one of his hands into Jack's chest. The creature raised both hands and quickly attempted to strike Jack's head. "Damn it!" Jack exclaimed, surprised by the way the creature attacked him. Just by feeling the gust of wind hitting his head, he knew how strong the creature's attack was. It was then that Jack seemed to realize something happening to Wim. "Quantara, it seems like he's starting to slowly adapt to his new body!" he thought. "You're right! In my analysis, I found that this creature can

Night had fallen, bringing darkness that enveloped the earth. The cold air pierced through to the bone, even inside the cave on the mountainside where Jack and Maartje currently found themselves. After spending about an hour using techniques to heal himself, Jack was now fully recovered. Not only had the scratches on his body completely disappeared, but all his internal organs had returned to pristine condition. He had also successfully trained in the technique of duplicating his body, so he was more accustomed to using multiple bodies at once now. Jack might withstand the cold of the night. But when his eyes fell on Maartje, who was hugging herself, he immediately went to look for firewood. A few minutes later, he had brought a pile of wood and made a campfire. While Jack roasted the chicken he had caught over the campfire, Maartje remained silent, staring at the flames. "I didn't expect Leon's influence to become this pervasive!" the girl said without shifting her gaze from the
