If Austin faced this kind of opposition outside, maybe he would've taken a different approach. However, someone dared to question his authority in his own fort? That was a blasphemy he couldn't overlook.Obviously, the cadaveric aura that enveloped the room wasn't coming from Austin. He was just someone merely at the third stage of Qi cultivation. The aura was coming from a hidden existence lurking in the shadows, the sole reason Austin acted brazenly.Do they really think that father would not make a provision for this? Tsk.''Kill him.'' Austin pointed at the man in the middle who spoke first, and then it happened…No one knew where the giant, silver sword came from, it suddenly ripped through space, shattering the dim light sources, leaving the room in darkness.''Argh''The wail of a dying prey echoed in everyone's mind, sending a freezing glint down their spines. Everyone felt their soul freeze, subjected in total darkness, with someone nearby groaning weakly as they walked close
Austin watched the sniper man beside him, who glued his eyes on the eyepiece of his gun. They stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper, several miles from where the Harl group based.They weren't the only one present, two groups of three men flanked Austin and the sniper man at each side, everyone's muscle ready to spring into motion.This was the farthest they could move closer to the Harl group headquarters. Anything closer and they would enter the perimeter of their radar.The silver radiance of the full moon fell on the men in black suits, the starry night cascading the surrounding with brilliance and shrouded mystery.It was past midnight, subjecting every corner into a grave silence. If one's pin fell on the floor, they would be able to hear its echoes.''The first team are in position.'' A voice spoke into the receiver in Austin's hand. ''Good.'' Austin nodded.“The second team should move twenty metres at two o'clock.'' Another voice overlapped the first one as they both execute
Warm, red liquid splattered on Austin's face, his eyes widening in horror as he watched two men killed in one move.They didn't even have the chance to retaliate or defend themselves. The attack was so swift that almost everyone present could barely follow it. All they saw was a blurry line before blood washed their faces.“S-sixth stage.'' James stammered, subconsciously taking a few steps back.Everyone came to a pause, their gazes fixated on their single opponent, who stood before them with an overwhelming presence that threatened to swallow them in despair.Her black hair fell on her shoulders, and her icy blue eyes gazed in Austin's direction. Her tight fitted black top accentuated her curves, similar to her black pants which hugged her thighs in a close embrace.“Target found,'' the assailant whispered.Hearing this, Austin felt his stomach churn as a foreboding feeling close on him from all angles. Just as he decided to take a few steps back and flee, his heart skipped, shocked
The attacker dashed forward, arriving before James almost instantly as she struck with her fist, aiming for his head. James body trembled as he side stepped, barely evading the blow an inch. The cold wind that the blow carried brushed against his face like the fury of midwinter.Before James could relax though, a roundhouse kick aimed at his chest which be quickly blocked by crossing his arms to shield his chest.Kreak!He heard the sound of bones cracking, which made him wince in pain as he flew backwards like a kite.Before the attacker could engage further, a lady at the fifth stage crossed her path, aiming for her heart with her clawed shaped fingers. “Insolence.'' the lady at the sixth stage harrumphed, slapping away the attack away.Leaping forward, she rammed her body against her opponent, who let out a grunt as blood trickled down her mouth. Yet, she didn't miss the opportunity of being in a close contact to retaliate with her own attack.With her fingers morphing into a cla
A bestial instinct took over Austin as he bent backwards like an inverted L. A sharp breeze whistled above him as the bullet cut through space, hitting the broken door behind him.Austin's eyes narrowed with caution as he quickly flipped to the side. Gunshots rang in the air as he rolled behind a wall.Soon enough, the wall began to tremble as debris fell from its remnants. Austin had no arm on him, and he had to depend on his fists to escape this hurdle.Unfortunately for him, the gunman kept firing while nearing his position.“Come see grandpa you pussy washer.'' The man laughed maniacally, making Austin's skin crawl with disgust and apprehension.'Fine.' Austin sighed as he waited for the man to enter his perimeter.Grabbing a big brick, he awaited his predator, or perhaps his prey? Time kept ticking and the sound of gunshots didn't stop, and neither had the fierce battle from behind Austin stopped.“Haha see ya.'' The man roared, a large, dirty grin etched on his scarred face. Au
''W-what are you talking about?'' Sarah took two steps backwards, her eyes sweeping the three police officers.“Ma'am, we have the warrant for your arrest, and anything you say here shall be used as evidence against you at the court.'' The officer to the left revealed a piece of document containing the arrest warrant.“Officers, we can always settle this amicably, it's me… don't you know who I am?“ Sarah's voice softened, fear and worries harboured in her tone.“Madam, we're being respectful, please cooperate before the press barge in.'' The officer in the middle frowned, his voice growing stern.“Dammit.'' Sarah clenched her fist, biting his lips to the point of bleeding.Dropping her shoulders in defeat, she glared at the corps and her secretary before taking a step forward. Albeit too slow.“You're also coming with us.'' The third corp looked in the secretary's direction.“Sorry?“ She rolled her eyes, her mouth wide ajar.“We also have a warrant for your arrest, please…'' The third
Boom!Austin tumbled on the ground, his face bruising against the hard shards of glass and metals. “Dammit.” He spat out the blood that gathered in his mouth as more trickled all over his face.Behind him, the lady at the sixth stage of cultivation also rolled on the ground like a broken doll, and she looked even more pathetic than Austin.“Sh-shit.“ Her face darkened, after being hit by the shockwave from a moment ago.Several seconds earlier, she had caught up with Austin a bit in a dishevelled state after taking care of her obstacles. She was just a few centimetre from killing Austin when the shockwave came from nowhere.Austin, who still lay on the ground, glanced back. His eyes wandering in different directions as he tried to ascertain the source of the perilous shockwave.However, he didn't have to stress his head too much as the answer soon revealed itself.A suffocating presence that felt like the arrival of lord death enveloped the entire surrounding, including Austin and th
“Father!”“Father…” Jay yelled as he pushed the door before him with all he got.The sound of the door hitting the wall behind it boomed throughout the passage as Jay barged into his father's office.“Huh?” Jay's father looked up, his forehead creasing.His narrowed eyes sent chills down Jaya spine. However, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the sea of hot saliva in his mouth.His back was drenched in sweat, and his chest rose and fell as though he just saw a ghost. “Is something on my face?” Jay's Father, President Julius II muttered in a husky and crispy voice.“N-no.” Jay involuntarily took a step back.“The… Harl, group.''“I just got the news now that they've been destroyed.” Jay gritted his teeth and got all he had in mind in one breath.“And? You thought I wouldn't have heard about that before you did?“ President Julius frowned, his forehead creasing with folded skin.“I-” Jay found himself driven to a corner, his mind blanking off as he wondered what he should say.“I thoug
