The Hidden Dragons members started mocking Andrew. โDid you seriously call some rent-a-cop to throw out elite fighters from the Hidden Dragons?โ
โAndrew mustโve lost his damn mind after seeing Mr. Thurman show up!โ
โHah! No doubt about itโhe probably pissed himself the second Mr. Thurman walked through the door!โ
Finley sneered. โAndrew, youโre getting dumber by the minute. You ainโt even worth dirt in front of our elder, so what makes you think your little guard dog here stands a chance? Hell, I donโt even need Mr. Thurman to handle himโI could make this guy get on his knees and beg!โ
With a twisted grin, Finley lunged faster than anyone expected, swinging a slap right at Phantom Eyeโs head.
Nyla gasped. โWatch out!โ
Phantom Eye chuckled. โWell, damn. First day on the job and already being looked down on? Tsk, tskโฆ do I really look like someone that easy to mess with?โ
He tilted his head to the side, easily dodging the slap without even trying. Then, he returned the favor with a brutal backhand that came out of nowhere.
Lionel shouted in panic, โFinley, get back!โ
Yet, it was too late.
Finley did not even see the strike. He just spat out a mouthful of blood and went flying sideways like a ragdoll, his neck nearly twisted from the force of the hit!
The rest of the Hidden Dragonsโ crew froze in disbelief, and all eyes were locked on Phantom Eye. They could not believe just how strong the โguardโ was.
Groaning, Finley struggled to crawl back up, his face pale with fear. โYouโฆโ
Phantom Eye let out a mocking laugh. โWhatโs wrong, punk? Werenโt you just calling me a worthless security? Come at me again, tough guy.โ
Nyla clapped her hands with glee. โYouโre amazing!โ
Francesca laughed too. โYouโre a total legend!โ
Lionel let out a sharp grunt and stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Phantom Eye. โSir, may I ask your name? I underestimated you earlier. But you laid hands on someone from the Hidden Dragons without cause, and today, I will demand an explanation!โ
Phantom Eye rolled his neck and did not back down an inch. โYou want my name? Fine. I donโt hide who I am. In this world, they call me Phantom Eye.โ
Lionel repeated it under his breath, โPhantom Eyeโฆ Phantom Eyeโฆโ
Suddenly, his eyes widened as recognition hit him like a truck.
โYโYouโre that Phantom Eye? The lone assassin from Blumedale, the infamous killer-for-hire?โ
He looked stunned, then quickly shifted to scorn. โWell, wellโฆ I didnโt think someone of your caliber would fall this low. Guarding a backwater clinic in Jayrodale? Pathetic. Youโve really sunk to rock bottom.โ
Lionelโs words dripped with venom, but Phantom Eyeโs fuse was short. With a loud roar, he lunged straight at Lionel, fists flying as the two clashed in an all-out brawl.
Chapter 945
Lionel fought as he retreated, yelling, โPhantom Eye, donโt push it! Youโre interfering with Hidden Dragons business todayโcan you really handle the consequences when our leader finds out?โ
Phantom Eye snarled, โScrew your leader and your entire crew! I donโt give a damn who you are. Right now, Iโm Moonlit Apothecaryโs security. Mr. Lloyd gave me clear ordersโanyone who shows up looking for trouble gets their ass kicked out! So, all you wannabe thugs? Iโm putting you in the ground!โ
The clash between two half-step martial kings shook the entire building. They went blow for blow, neither holding back, trading lethal strikes like it was a deathmatch.
Finley growled through bloodied teeth, โGo! While Mr. Thurman holds off the guard, the rest of us will wipe this damn clinic off the map!โ
However, just as he finished barking the order, Andrew made his move.
Like a tiger let loose in a pen of sheep, he blitzed through the Hidden Dragons fighters with blinding speed. One after another, they screamed in pain as they were sent flying in all directions, coughing up blood as they slammed into walls and crashed to the ground.
