58 Battle 2 (1/2)

Garen knew that the vibration was taking effect. The lady standing across from him must have had her insides injured by the power of vibration. His version of the second level of the Explosive Fists Art was unlike that of others. The lady might even have internal bleeding from it. Garen was confident in his actual strength and, if he were to use his it, he might even surpass his third senior brother. A simple gun would not pose any threat to him now. Originally, he planned to sneak out once he had finished searching for the antiques, but he had not expected this purple-eyed lady to discover her henchmen’s corpses.

Everything was smooth up until this point. Garen had not expected his opponent to be so vicious. The lady did not hold back on him using guns, fists, and even poison.

”I have to leave here now!” He felt that the numbness in his back had intensified.

Garen sneered and then closed his mouth. He focused on the upper bracket of the attribute panel.

The potential bracket was already at 233%, so he still had two attribute points remaining.

”Physique influences the recovery rate. It might prove to be useful now against poisonous effects.”

In this emergency situation, Garen was running out of ideas. He needed to recover and escape to prevent unforeseen accidents from happening. The enemy body count of men from the Golden Hoop was no joke.

He fixated his attention and added one skill point to his Physique attribute .

The Physique attribute increased from 1.57 to 1.87.

The moment the point was applied to his Physique, Garen felt nothing but tingling all over his body. It only took one second for him to return to normal. He felt the numbness around his back and his lower abdomen start to fade away. He even recovered enough strength to stand up.

”Effective indeed!”

He was pleased by what happened.

”It is not worth becoming like this for a cursed antique! I even started a feud with one of the masters of the Golden Hoop. If I don’t take care of it now, I’ll be in even more trouble in the future!”

He was determined to finish his opponent to prevent any inconvenience in the future.

He stood up and began slowly walking toward the purple-eyed lady.

”How can you still stand?!” The purple-eyed lady covered her right eye with on of her hands. The remaining eye stared at Garen in shock. ”How can you still move after taking hits from the Roman Flower King’s poison?!”

Her whole body was deadened and without strength due to blood loss. Though she could still aim her gun, her effort seemed meaningless against her opponent. She could not even reload and shoot in time due to the short distance from her opponent.

”This is the end!” An ugly smile could be seen on Garen’s face. He felt his body recovering rapidly. The 0.3 increase to his Physique attribute that he applied earlier had really helped his body. He sensed the numbness almost disappearing from his back and the feeling of pain returned from the injuries to his abdomen area.

”Hurry! Master has been waiting for a while now!” Hurried steps were heard coming from the outside.

Garen’s facial expression changed and he had one last look at the lady before deciding to escape. He jumped out from the same window he had snuck in from, turned the corner, and disappeared into the rain.

The lady had her head down and only let out her breath after confirming that Garen had left the hall. Blood and tears seeped through the fingers of the hand she held over her eye and dripped onto the black tile floor.

She picked up the clothing that she threw on the floor from earlier and covered her naked chest . Her body began slowly shrinking down, like a deflating balloon. In no time, she returned to her original form – a pretty lady with a petite figure.

The living room door swung open widely. A man and a woman dressed in suits swiftly came through the door. They were startled by the mess that was left behind and the purple-eyed lady who sat on the floor.

”Boss! Are you okay!” The tall man rushed over and bowed beside the lady on the floor.

”Go away!” Thump!

A muffled sound was heard. The man stumbled backward with his face looking pale. His eyes stared at the sword marks left on his chest. A line was neatly cut across his shirt, with his skin almost injured.

The woman in a black suit, who was smaller in size than the man, stood aside and laughed at what the man had been through.

The purple-eyed lady sat up on the floor.

”Any updates on the tasks I’ve ordered you to complete?”

”Master, I’ve been to Dale Quicksilver’s house and some of the White Eagle’s hiding spots. Both of them are nowhere to be found. We suspect that they’ve been hiding in some new place .” The woman in the suit bowed before answering.

The man’s eyes focused on the purple-eyed lady as she wrapped up the injuries to her eye region. He tidied his suit before speaking respectively.

”I, on the other hand, found both of them! Unfortunately, White Eagle’s friend Black Panther showed up unexpectedly during the search and took both of them with him.”

”A bunch of useless pricks!” the purple-eyed lady roared while rising from the floor. Her right eye had stopped bleeding with the bandage wrapped around it. ”You can’t even capture one little White Eagle! I think it’s time for me to ask for new henchmen to assist me. After I finish recovering I, will take care of the White Eagle on my own!”

She subconsciously glared at where Garen had stood. With hatred in her eyes, she said,

”If this skilled fighter had not shown up and weakened me, I’m certain that tomorrow would be the death of Lily!”
