Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 154

There was no fear and no surprise—just an eerie calm. This calmness sent a shiver down Phantom's spine. He was unnerved by just how composed Daniel was.

Daniel had already raised his hand, pointing directly at Phantom.

A flash of anger crossed Phantom's face. How dare Daniel still look down on him at this point? Damn him!

"Fine! Since you're so eager to die, I'll make it happen!" Phantom had seen plenty of arrogant fools in his time, but they all failed to understand the weight of offending a hidden dynastic family. The only outcome for those who crossed such families was death!

Phantom raised his hand, energy condensing in his palm. The temperature around him dropped sharply, with frost already forming. Then, he thrust his palm toward Daniel's chest.

Daniel's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't even noticed the attack.

"Daniel, watch out!" Charlene, standing to the side, couldn't fully understand what was happening, but she could sense Phantom's palm strike was anything but ordinary. Thus, she couldn't help but cry out in warning.

Rowan glanced over, a cold smile playing on his lips. He suddenly felt a surge of desire, especially when he saw the look of concern on Charlene's face as she stared at Daniel. Yes, that was exactly the look he wanted to see!

Worry and helplessness—these two were what truly ignited his lust!

Rowan turned back to Daniel. "Daniel, you're too arrogant for your own good. What a pity! Truly a pity!"

Daniel turned to Charlene and offered her a gentle smile. At the same time, his finger moved with lightning speed—striking first despite moving later—and landed precisely at Phantom's throat.

Phantom's palm stopped just an inch away from Daniel's chest.

"Why you!" Phantom's eyes widened, and he let out a gurgling sound before collapsing to the ground, his expression one of unwillingness.

Reaper, seeing this, felt his pupils contracted sharply. "Phantom!"

Reaper was outraged. He charged at Daniel with all his might.

Daniel raised his hand again, his movements still casual and effortless.

Reaper, as if possessed, ran straight into Daniel's finger.

Rowan's eyes widened in anger. He looked at Daniel with disbelief as he slumped back into his chair.

Daniel dusted off his hands and stood up. "Let's go."

Charlene glanced back at Rowan, but when she saw his lifeless, wide-eyed expression, she quickly turned away.

"Daniel, this is going to cause a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry. I'll handle it. Just don't make any decisions on your own in the future," Daniel said domineering.

Scarlet looked at Charlene, then at Daniel, and suddenly covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

At the same time Rowan died, the blind man once again reached out to touch the statue. The red threats around the statue's body were now fully connected, and the last thread was connected to a large stone with the last name "Crane" written on it.

"The Dragon-Slaying Formation is complete. Hehehe, it's done! It's finally done!" The blind man laughed maniacally, his voice sending chills down the spine.
