A loud thud sounded at the same time.Back in the Monastery of the Sacred Virtue, Cassian's form could be seen flying backward before crashing onto the ground. Due to the impact, he ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood. Cassian couldn't be bothered to check his injuries. All he could do was stare at Kendrick in a mix of fear and shock.Kendrick really was a troublesome opponent.During the showdown, Cassian had managed to overwhelm Kendrick with a flurry of quick attacks. He didn't expect to be blasted away by Kendrick after two minutes.In terms of close combat, Cassian wasn't afraid of Kendrick at all. In fact, he was confident that he could beat him.But what pissed him off the most was that Kendrick was equipped with strange martial arts skills. He was very sure that he had blocked Kendrick's attack earlier, but the next thing he knew, Kendrick's fist was able to spin 180 degrees on its own while relying on his wrist for support. It was that very move that caught Cassia
Cassian ended up having to retreat for more than a dozen steps. He could feel the force running rampant in his chest, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.Shock and disbelief were written all over his face.What on earth was that skill? Just how terrifying was it?Under normal circumstances, when one threw out a punch, the force would travel from their arm to their wrist before flowing toward the fist.But Kendrick's arm and wrist didn't move at all just now. He was able to strike Cassian with the sole power stored in his fist. Not only that, but his fist and wrist could also gyrate on their own, as though they were free from the joint's confines.It was mind-shattering, to say the least. After all, a regular human being's fist could never spin around like a ball. But somehow, Kendrick was able to pull that off!Cassian's expression went grim. Then again, Kendrick was the Rivershire branch leader of the Hexen Coven, so it was only natural for him to be this skil
"Hmph! You plan on fighting me, then? You're definitely dying this time!"Kendrick didn't take Cassian seriously.Sure, Cassian might be decent at fighting, but Kendrick was still the branch leader of the Hexen Coven's Rivershire branch. How could he be expected to retain his position as the leader without being relatively skilled?When Cassian's fist was about to hit Kendrick, the latter retaliated with a punch of his own. Both fists soon clashed against one another in a loud boom.Kendrick could feel an extremely strong power gushing from Cassian's fist, forcing him to back away from the latter uncontrollably.One, two, three… ten!The soles of Kendrick's shoes kept scraping against the ground, creating shrill and ear-piercing sounds for a few moments.Kendrick had to take ten steps away from Cassian before he could steady himself. The strong scent of copper rose from his throat, as though something was about to burst out soon.Apparently, that punch had left Kendrick with in
Cassian didn't say anything. Instead, he took Thiago's wrist and felt his pulse for a few seconds.Only then did he say, "I think the parasitic poison is acting up.""Didn't you say the parasitic poison wouldn't act up for a month?""Normally, the parasitic poison will definitely remain dormant for a month after Lord Drakeford receives my treatment. Since it got triggered without any warning, my guess is that Kendrick has something to do with it."Cassian pointed at Kendrick while continuing, "The sound he makes from blowing onto the leaf seems to be able to control the parasite lurking within Lord Drakeford."Claude pulled out his gun from behind his back instantly before pointing it at Kendrick's head."Stop that right now, or else I'll shoot you in the head!"Kendrick just ignored Claude's threats. Instead, he continued playing the tune on the leaf.At that moment, Claude suddenly sensed a gust of abnormally strong wind heading his way. He quickly backed away, only to see th
Claude would never have expected to see the mailman from the morning smiling at him from his position at the courtyard's exit."Who the hell are you?" he demanded coldly."If you're still asking such an idiotic question at this time, it only goes to show how dumb you are," the mailman retorted mockingly."That guy is a member of the Hexen Coven," Cassian explained."A member of the Hexen Coven?" Claude was shocked at first, but he then asked in confusion, "Why would a Hexen Coven member impersonate a mailman?""To lure us into this trap, of course."Then, Cassian said to Kendrick, "This scheme of yours is rather foolish.""Even if it's foolish, you still ended up stepping into it, didn't you?" Kendrick replied with a smile."That's true. We still stepped into your trap at the end of the day." Cassian sighed.If not for the fact that they were in a hurry to find the assassin, this outcome wouldn't have happened."Although we stepped into your trap, the fact that your trap is
"Let's go take a look."The trio entered the building's courtyard. Still, they didn't see anyone there. All they saw was a row of rooms along the building. There were more than a dozen rooms, and all of the doors were closed."Where is he?" Cassian asked in a low tone."He should be in one of the rooms," Claude replied.Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew into the courtyard from the outside. Cassian shivered instantly. At the same time, a bad feeling began creeping up on him. "Mr. Hudson, how did you know that Kendrick's hiding in this place?""One of my subordinates was the one who made the discovery," Claude explained. "He noticed that Kendrick had ducked into the Monastery of the Sacred Virtue at 6:00 am this morning after checking the security footage. "After that, he visited the monastery while pretending to be a visitor. That was when he overheard Kendrick telling the abbot that he'd be staying here for a few days. The abbot agreed to let him stay.""Is that subordinate
