Female Novel
Chapter 387
Alas, the two men still hadn’t managed to harm Thomas even after hundreds of moves. This left themfeeling anxious and frustrated.
The Crimson Moon stubbornly held the belief that Thomas had only destroyed the Six GreatestFamilies of Irieson. They didn’t think he could actually kill their representative in the city, no matter howexceptional he was.
So, they assumed the Travis Family orchestrated the deaths of those six people in secret. The fact thatthe Travis Family was backed by a hidden sect made the Crimson Moon hesitant to confront themdirectly. However, they believed they could still eliminate Thomas covertly, leading them to dispatch theTwin Demons, whose strength wasn’t particularly remarkable within their sect.
In the end, they underestimated Thomas, and they would be paying for their hubris. If they had sentexperts from the Inner Pavilion, Thomas would undoubtedly be dead today.
“Damn it! How is this possible?” The two men were furious, and they soon lost their composure asannoyance showed on their faces. At that moment, their aura surged, and they unleashed theirsignature move—the Twin Demon Combo Technique!
“You should feel proud to be able to die under the power of our combined attack, b*stard!” Theircoordination was flawless, and their swords, resembling venomous snakes, nearly enveloped Thomas’entire body, leaving no angles uncovered. They attacked him relentlessly, giving him no chance tocatch his breath as they pressed on.
Swish! Swish!
In the blink of an eye, several deep wounds appeared on Thomas’ body. Crimson blood seepedthrough his shirt and dripped onto the ground. Fortunately, Thomas’ reflexes were far beyond average,
allowing him to avoid any fatal strikes by a very slim margin. Therefore, he only suffered superficialcuts, nothing life-threatening.
Even so, Thomas’ forehead was covered in cold sweat. He would undoubtedly be defeated today ifthey continued at a stalemate like this. With this thought in mind, Thomas went on the offensive,appearing almost crazed as he charged toward the two men.
“Hmm?” The two men were taken aback by his behavior. Has this guy lost his marbles? He was comingat them head-on, practically throwing himself onto their swords. Regardless, since he was willinglywalking into his demise, they couldn’t be blamed for taking advantage of it and being ruthless.
Bang! Bang!
As Thomas charged toward them, two deafening gunshots rang out.
“F*ck!” The tall and thin man reacted quickly, managing to evade the shots.
Thud.
Unfortunately, the other man wasn’t as fortunate. A dark hole appeared on his forehead, and freshblood trickled out. His eyes were lifeless as he fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
“You scoundrel! I’ll f*cking kill you!” the surviving man shouted in anger. Using firearms in a face-to-faceduel was a cardinal sin for martial artists! Yet, as he looked in the direction where Thomas wasstanding just moments ago, he could not see Thomas anywhere! His eyes widened in astonishment asa sudden foreboding gripped him, and he quickly scanned the area, trying to find any trace of Thomas.
Unfortunately for him, it was far from an easy task to find Thomas. As a top-notch sniper, concealmentwas one of his greatest skills!
At that moment, Thomas stood on a tree, narrowing his eyes in absolute focus, and closely watchedthe man as he frantically searched the area like a headless chicken. He blended into the darkness as ifhe were part of the tree itself.
“Come out, you idiot! Quit playing hide and seek. Face me like a man!” the man shouted hysterically.
Thomas wasn’t foolish. He already knew that facing the man alone wouldn’t be a walk in the park,especially after suffering these injuries. Even though he had killed the man’s companion, the gap intheir strength was something he couldn’t overcome at the moment.
“You think I won’t find you?” The man sneered, raising his sword and randomly slashing around.
Swish! Swish!
The sharp and fierce sword energy cut through nearby trees, causing several to fall to the ground witha thud.
Then, the man turned and struck the tree where Thomas was standing. Nonetheless, Thomasremained composed, allowing himself to fall with the tree trunk toward the ground. Suddenly, a brilliantlight flashed in Thomas’ eyes. Now’s the time!
The man seemed to sense something was amiss and swiftly turned his head toward Thomas’ location.Unfortunately, he realized it far too late.
Bang!
The man fell to the ground, becoming another corpse joining the ranks, just his companion. His eyeswere wide open in disbelief. Even in death, he couldn’t comprehend why he was the one who ended updead despite having far superior strength to Thomas.
“Phew!” Thomas let out a sigh of relief. The martial artists from the sects were on a completely differentlevel compared to those in the city. It seemed he should find time to thoroughly study the secrettechniques the old man had left for him. Otherwise, he might not be so lucky to survive next time.
He looked down at the Desert Eagle, which was still emitting smoke in his hand. His marksmanshipsaved his life at such a critical moment. After all, no one could match a marksman like him!
Thomas ambled back to the Maserati, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. He wasn’t worried about thetwo corpses on the ground at all. Both of them were from the hidden sects and probably had no officialrecords or identities in the city. Their deaths would go unnoticed, and the police wouldn’t dig too deepeven if they found the bodies.
He had always considered the Flynns and the Wilkersons as his biggest enemies, but today’s eventsmade him realize how laughable that notion was. His most formidable adversary was not the twofamilies, but the Crimson Moon, which had been lurking in the shadows all along!
“Wait a minute…” Thomas suddenly remembered something. Since the Crimson Moon had alreadytargeted him, would they also go after Olivia? After all, Olivia was meant to be the offering from the SixGreatest Families of Irieson to the Crimson Moon!novelbin
“Sh*t!”
Immediately, he stomped on the gas pedal, and the Maserati transformed into a fierce beast in thenight, its engine roaring as it sped toward the city. He had one hand on the steering wheel and theother holding the phone as he dialed Olivia’s number.
As he heard the sound of the phone trying to connect, he fervently prayed in his heart, Answer thephone! Please answer the phone! Olivia, please be okay!
His biggest concern now was that someone from the Crimson Moon might target Olivia after he left thevilla. If that were the case, he would be utterly devastated. Every single second he spent waiting for herto answer the call felt like an eternity. Even though it was just a few seconds, he couldn’t help but feelthe rising panic overwhelming his sanity.
“Hello, Thomas, what’s up?” Finally, the call connected, and her voice came through from the other endof the line.
“Where are you?” he asked sharply.
“I’m at home. What about you?” she replied.
