“Who are you?”
Krish sensed a threatening aura and grabbed the gun to point at the incoming man.
Ocho saw someone pointing a gun at him as soon as he stepped out of the stairwell. Thus, he smirked
and transformed himself into a gush of strong wind before rushing toward Krish and Ludwig.
“Step aside!”
Ludwig jumped into action and dragged Krish aside. Then, he took a step forward, pointed his two
fingers as if wielding a sword, and pierced them through the air.
At the same time, he sent a wave of sharp energy from his fingers, causing it to collide against the
invisible energy around Ocho’s fist.
A muffled ‘bang’ sounded and the impact created strong gushes of wind. Ludwig’s expression changed
slightly as he retreated a step.
“Sword finger? Interesting.”
Ocho’s eyes brightened as he clenched his fist and swung it toward Ludwig. Ludwig quickly leaned to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe side and blocked the punch.
The three hundred Dragon Guardians liked to live their lives dangerously.
Thus, Ocho did not step back but charged ahead even though the immense energy from the Sword
Finger technique was about to pierce his chest. At the same time, he swung his left fist toward Ludwig
and straightened his upper body to gather battle qi in his chest.
A muffled slap sounded. Followed by a light scoff.
Ludwig kept retreating under the strong turbulent air and was nearly forced out of the meeting room.
His face was flushed, and his right arm shook slightly.
On the other hand, Ocho looked down at the slight indentation on his chest and demanded, “Again!”
Krish quickly threw away the submachine gun at the side before waving his hands urgently and
explaining, “It’s a misunderstanding! We are hotel guests who were here for the charity auction!”
Krish could finally see that this man who had managed to defeat his master with two punches was not
on the robber’s side.
“Hotel guests?” Ocho tilted his head and glanced at Krish.
In the end, Ocho could see from Krish and Ludwig’s aura that they were not the ones who had attacked
him downstairs. Thus, he shook his head and returned to the stairwell to continue heading upstairs.
Ding! The elevator door closed gradually.
Krish let out his breath and patted his chest fearfully. “Luckily, I made the right assessment!”
Then, he rushed to the door and asked Ludwig worriedly, “Master Ludwig, are you alright? Are you
injured?”
Ludwig’s chest heaved as he breathed. His flushed face gradually returned to normal, and he shook his
head slowly. “It’s nothing serious. I will be fine after resting for two to three days.”
Resting for two to three days? Doesn’t that mean he is injured?
Krish’s expression turned solemn.
He took a deep breath and said fearfully, “Master Ludwig, that man had a murderous aura.”
Ludwig narrowed his eyes and nodded solemnly. “He must be used to facing ruthless fighters. If you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad not revealed our identity, I fear we might have…”
Krish was surprised. Even the arrogant Master Ludwig admitted his inferiority to that man.
After a moment of silence, Krish said softly, “Master Ludwig, what should we do now? Should we
continue to stay here? Since there is no one here now, should we…”
Ludwig smiled bitterly. “The situation is unfavorable to us. We better leave.”
The brief confrontation just was a much more severe blow than he let on.
Ludwig had trained the Sword Finger technique for decades and attained the peak of that skill. Yet, that
man was able to resist Ludwig’s attack with his body and did not suffer any damage.
That was a devastating blow to Ludwig’s confidence.
Since his technique had turned useless, he had no choice but to retreat.
Although he felt indignant, he could only step back and re-evaluate the situation.
Soon, the rest of the hotel guests came into the conference room. Krish and Ludwig followed the crowd
and headed downstairs.
While waiting near the elevator on the auction site’s level, Benny saw Edwin entering the elevator
flanked by guards from the Ministry of Defense.
Seeing the elevator go up, he raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Shouldn’t he be going downstairs? Why
did he go up instead?”
