Fane chuckled. He felt a little speechless. It seemed that these people knew how to keep a secret.
“Enough with the talking. Kill him!”
The head honcho with the bald head waved his hand. A mass of people surged toward Fane.
“Trying to bully me with sheer numbers, eh?”
Fane narrowed his eyes. He cracked his knuckles, but he did not reveal a lick of fear. Instead, he rushed forward.
“Striking Eagle Fist!”
One of the men used one of his skills when he came before Fane.
He launched punches after punches, the air seeming to rip apart before him. One could even hear the clear whoosh that shot through the atmosphere.
Bang!
Fane could not be bothered with his attacks. He swiped a fist at the other man, spun on his heel, and went straight for another person.
The man who used the Striking Eagle Fist was probably as strong as an army major. He was already considered an exceptional fighter.
Unfortunately, Fane merely saw him as a child, trying to emulate the grandmasters—and his fist technique was really no technique at all. The man flew to the side from Fane’s blow. His arm shattered.
“Ah!”
“You’re so strong, Fane. Why do I feel like you’re fighting way better than you did in the morning?”
Fiona was no expert at martial arts. Yet she still felt the rush of his speed, the confidence in every move he made, the deadly aura he emanated.
Fane flashed an awkward smile. “Oh, Mother. Don’t you know that it’s always best to reserve some of your strength when fighting, no matter where and when? We always need to keep a trump card for ourselves!”
“Oh. So that’s it!”
Fiona bobbed her head as if she understood. She scanned across all the corpses. “What do we do with them? It’ll be difficult for us to clear this mess at night. But it’s bad luck for us if we don’t clear them. We’ll probably be working through the night!”
Fane thought about the issue for a while. “It’ll be difficult for us to sell this villa in such a short time. It’s not like we’ll be worse off without the money though. Okay, how about this, I’ll get Master George to send some of his bodyguards over to get rid of the bodies. Then I’ll give the villa to them.”
