Female Novel
Chapter 544 Token…Powell
In the dark woods.
It was silent.
As Jack turned nonchalantly, Lyndall also slowly shifted his gaze.
Even though Lyndall was extremely weak at the moment, that he lost consciousness from time to time.
He clearly saw that a stone hit Jack’s gun the moment Jack fired the gun.
The stone was able to deploy power that was nothing less than a bullet!
Was this person… a God?
Just like Lyndall, Jack was staring into the darkness. He put on a cool expression, but deep down he
was agitated.
This person was stronger than the two assassins chasing after Lyndall!
And not just by a little.
One would have to be at the extreme of their physical and fighting abilities to be able to pull off this
“stone killing” technique.
If such a person existed, any wood or stone would turn into a lethal weapon in their hands.
Even at this moment, Jack could feel a tearing and numbing pain in his right hand’s fingers.
It was from the stunning impact when the stone hit the gun just now!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, something slashed through the air from inside the dark woods.
Focusing his gaze, Jack felt a strong sense of danger. His scalp went numb.
In that moment, he intrinsically shifted his body.
Almost at the same time, he saw something shot across his vision. The wind it triggered made Jack
narrowed his eyes.
Dum!
A loud thud.
A hole was made in the trunk of the tree right beside Jack. Wood chips were flying everywhere.
“This is…”
Jack peered from the corner of his eyes and was shocked.
It was… a token that had pierced into the trunk!
The stale copper token was covered with rust.
It was carved exquisitely. Even though the carvings had faded with time, it still made one’s heart skip a
beat just looking at it.
And in the centre of the token, a “Powell” word was carved in clerical character.
At the same time, footsteps were heard from the direction where the token came from.
Frowning, Jack turned and looked gravely into the direction.
The footsteps were casual and unhurried.
Jack subconsciously clenched his fists at the calmness of the enemy.
Did he think he had this whole situation under his control?
The torchlight that had fallen to the ground partially flashed towards the direction. A figure slowly
walked out from the dark.
Gradually, Jack finally had a clear view of the figure.
It was a middle age man. An ordinary middle age man.
He was about five foot seven, well-built, with an ordinary set of casual wear and an ordinary feature.
Jack knew he wouldn’t be able to identify this man if he were to hide among a crowd!
But he also knew he would have one foot into his demise if he were to deem this ordinary-looking man
in front of him as an ordinary man.
Jack had wide exposure to all sorts of people from the head of the almighty Hughes family down to the
beggar by the roadside.
Even though living in the same society, everyone carried a distinct temperament which came from their
respective occupations.
Took his father for example, he could deploy a strong aura of authority by just furrowing his brows.
Even Madam Hughes could pull off being calm and domineering at the same time.
One would know they were no mediocre people just by taking a glance at them.
But this man in front of him managed to seal his extraordinary temperament completely.
The middle age man halted and looked calmly at Willy, who was lying in a pool of blood.
He shook his head, “Such a shame, I nearly had you there. I wanted to set you up in a double scheme,
but I underestimated you.”
As he said that, the middle age man glanced at Jack’s legs.
Double scheme?
Jack widened his eyes.
He suddenly realized something.
“Those two assassins were really coming after Lyndall? Willy was bribed twice, and it was you the
second time!”
“Huh!”
The middle age man twitched the corner of his lips and smirked, “You’re smart. Indeed, Willy was
bribed by that imbecile George. Then I took advantage of the situation and dragged you into this game.
But I really didn’t expect you were faking your handicap.”
“George?”
Shook, Jack took a glimpse at Lyndall, who was leaning against the tree, and something dawned on
him.
Was this assassination related to the incident with HT Real Estate and Charlie?
Jack rubbed his nose while putting on a wry smile. Based on George’s character, which was short
tempered and love getting revenge, it wouldn’t be a surprise for him to do such a thing.
George tried to mess with him and DT Agency using HT Real Estate and Charlie.
It would be fair to say that Lyndall single handedly caused Charlie’s death and HT Real Estate’s
withdrawal. The loss that these incidents brought about was more than enough to put George in an
outrage.
“But, who’re you?”
Jack stared at the middle age man fiercely, “You wouldn’t have plan this double scheme to end me
when we have nothing to do with each other, right?”
“I’m the man who’ll kill you!”
Suddenly, the gaze in the man’s eyes turned sharp and his expression turned wicked.
Before he even finished his words, he dashed towards Jack like a shooting arrow.
He was quick!
Jack was astonished.
Just as he was about to react.
A strong wave of wind blew into his face as the middle age man had reach in front of him and flinging
his fist at him.
Shocked, Jack hurriedly raised his hands to block the attack.
Bang!
A loud thud.novelbin
Jack felt as if struck by a wrecking ball and immediately stumbled backwards.
He finally found his balance after falling five feet back.
Jack’s face turned solemn with an implicit hint of pain. His eyes filled with horror.
Dropping his hands, he felt them shivering faintly!
He felt an explosive pain deep into the bones in his arms after that one punch.
“Such overbearing strength…”
Squinting his eyes that were losing focus, Lyndall couldn’t hide his shock in them.
It took not only wits and scheme to become the underground king of LD City, but also strength.
As someone who fought all his way up to his position as the king, he understood how formidable the
punch from the middle age man was.
“Hmm…you’re strong. Normal people would have their arms broken after taking my punch just now!”
Slightly swinging his fist, there was a faint hint of surprise in the middle age man’s eyes.
Jack frowned and didn’t reply.
Because the middle age man was telling the truth.
“It’s hard to imagine you’re able to train your body into the shape you’re in now in a span of less than a
year. This is intriguing.”
Narrowing his eyes, the middle age man bent his back into a posture as if a leopard which had his
target locked down.
At this moment.
The aura around him changed immensely.
As if a skyscraping aura shot up into the sky out of nowhere.
His sharp killing vibes filled the whole terrain.
Even Jack felt a sense of being locked down as a target. His body tensed up out of fluster.
Lyndall, who was still paralyzed on the ground, was shocked at the scene. At this moment, the middle
age man sent chills through every cell in his body.
“Careful!”
Lyndall mustered his strength and gave Jack a warning.
However.
The next second.
Jack was shocked, “Careful!”
Taken aback, Lyndall saw Jack charging towards him like a beast.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw the middle age man dashing towards him too like a lightning.
In that moment.
Lyndall’s mind went blank. With a grave face, he felt his scalp was so tense it was about to
explode…
