CHAPTER 120
Pain was what Jeffery felt right now. It crept all the way from his right shin into his entire leg. His vision was blurred right now. There was even this metallic taste in his mouth. Blood.He looked at his shin and saw that he was already bleeding. The master had obviously used all his strength to deliver that kick to his leg. It literally broke.He knew that with the right potion he would be able to heal from an injury like this. But that wouldn't be happening here on the battlefield. He didn't have the materials to make a potion.Jeffery was very helpless right here.When Rita saw that Jeffery's leg had been broken and he was lying on the ground, she rushed to his side."Jeffery!" she called as she knelt on the floor. "A-are you okay?"Jeffery groaned, trying to respond. But he couldn't. His eyes weren't even on Rita. He was staring at Riordan who was walking towards them."Well, well, well," Daniel finally spoke with a warm smile. "What a pleasant surprise we have here, Rita..."R
CHAPTER 119
In this world there were strong people and there were weak people. The weak were oppressed by the strong, discarded like waste products. This was how nature made it. And this was how it would be till eternity.And when two strong people clashed the one with a stronger fist always emerged victorious. It didn't matter how he won. What mattered was that he won.As Riordan sprang towards him Jeffery felt the entire world spin around him. It was like he was standing on top of a rotating ball.What kind of effect is this? he thought within himself as he entered into a meditative state. He had to clear his mind quickly. He didn't want to be affected mentally by the assassin.Suddenly Riordan extended his arm, opening his palm. His palm suddenly hardened and became steel-like. The air rippled as his palm cut towards Jeffery.The world continued spinning around Jeffery, time slowing down. Then Riordan's palm enlarged till it seemed to fill in the entire meeting hall. He could feel the weight o
CHAPTER 118
As the figure moved towards Rita time seemed to slow around him. The shards of glass flew slowly around him, the wind humming within his ears. The people who were seated remained that way as if they were statues.It wasn't that time had slowed. The figure was moving so fast that everything else could not catch up to his speed.He moved towards Rita Stirling who was seated at the center chair behind the table. She was the target whom he had been asked to eliminate. And he was going to do it swiftly.The Stirling family and him didn't have any problems. But he was a mercenary who had been hired to end the young woman's life. This was business. This was life.So he was going to do it very quickly. He wanted to give the young woman a merciful death. She wouldn't be able to feel any pain before dying. It would the swiftest deaths he had ever given to his victims.He hardened his right hand and extended it towards Rita's neck. A single hit from him would cause it to break and kill her swift
CHAPTER 117
There was a heavy silence within the hallway. The silence was so heavy that it weighed within the hearts of the bodyguards who were surrounding Jeffery.For some moments they just stared at him with petrified expressions—their eyes widened. Their bodies were frozen for a long period of time.Although they had been faced with several situations they didn't know how to handle one like this. In their entire profession they had never come across something like this.Although martial artists and alchemists were not widely known to the world—a lot of people still knew them. And these bodyguards were among them.But they had never met an advanced alchemist before. So they didn't know how much trouble they were in for. Perhaps it would be the last moment of their lives."You shouldn't have messed with the wrong guy," Jeffery said as he turned to look at the rest of them.Hester was now lying down unconscious, his revolver beside him. Blood was leaking out of his mouth, covering where he was l
CHAPTER 116
Some minutes ago...Jeffery was still standing outside. Unlike the other bodyguards he didn't have any armed weapon. He was completely unarmed, standing straight like the rest of them.The other bodyguards could sense a strong confidence radiating off his body. For some reason they turned to look at each other. And then they nodded when he wasn't paying attention to them.Unbeknownst to them Jeffery was seeing everything. He had been paying attention to them without their notice. And when they thought that he didn't see their suspicious actions, he did.Miss Rita seems to be in danger...he thought within himself. I don't know why but I suddenly feel as if she's in danger...He turned to look at the bodyguards. They still looked as if everything was alright. In fact they were still standing straight, their hands on the butts of the revolvers hidden within their suits.But he knew that they were not okay at all. There was something greatly suspicious about them. They were trying to hide
CHAPTER 115
Rita sat behind the long table staring at the other directors who were seated with her. They were already in the middle of a discussion—a heated one.Well, it wasn't a heated discussion among all the directors. It was just a standoff between Rita Stirling and Daniel Stirling.Daniel Stirling was the one who had been purchasing shares from the other shareholders. So the others were under him and agreed with whatever he was saying.Rita on the other hand was now alone. Although she still had majority of the shares in the Stirling Enterprise, it was only a matter of time before she was overthrown.Only four directors seated didn't belong to any side. But it was only a matter of time before they sided with one of the Stirling family members. Whether they went with Rita or Daniel was up to their own decision.If they ended up siding with Daniel then it would be very devastating for Rita. She would lose her status as the CEO of Stirling Enterprise. The mysterious figure would finally win an
