As long as Janet hands over the key, I would be able to get my hands on the alchemy furnace, and I’d get to live forever.
“Hand you the key? If I do that, how many more people would end up dying at your hands?” Janet looked at him mockingly.
“Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to decapitate you,” remarked Damien indifferently.
Janet clutched her chest with her hand, but her gaze was cold and bone-chilling.
Damien took out a gun from his holster, and then, he pulled the trigger slowly with his finger…
…….
After the meeting ended at Lowry Family Conglomerate, Mason was just about to stand up to leave when he had an uneasy feeling in his chest. In fact, he felt that his blood was fighting against its natural flow, as if it was about to be sucked out of his body.
“Young Master Mason, are you alright?” Red Python held him steady.
Mason waved his hand while maintaining a blank expression. “Meeting adjourned.”
Red Python, Black Python and the group exchanged glances while they regarded the man as he left.
His eyes gleaming brightly, Red Python squinted. “Do you think Young Miss Jackson is in trouble?”
Black Python kept his head bowed without replying to him.
They recalled carefully what happened last night where they witnessed Mason putting the blood-red bangle onto Janet’s wrist.
The Lowry Family knew very well what that represented.
We did not expect Young Master Mason to hand over such an important item to such an ordinary young lady. It seems like Mr. Lowry has a new weakness.
……..
On the other side, Janet, who was currently far away in Markovia, saw Damien about to squeeze the trigger. She ducked just in time while lifting her leg up to kick him viciously in the chest.
Damien’s eyes shot wide open and he looked utterly shocked. Nevertheless, he snorted in disdain. “I did not expect you to be so strong. You are actually still standing after being poisoned with my venomous wine. However, you are about to die soon.”
Damien was still convinced that he had the upper hand because usually, the venomous wine would take effect within ten minutes.
I just have to wait for ten minutes, and Janet will join the old man in Hell without me having to do anything.
However, Janet did not seem scared when she heard him. On the contrary, she broke into a grin while commenting mockingly, “Damien, you’re just too reckless and impulsive.”
Her comment seemed to have hit a nerve in Damien. Janet’s tone is becoming more and more like that old man…
The old man used to say that about me when he was alive too. That is why despite the fact that I have stayed with him for more than a decade, he handed the key to the secret chamber to Janet anyway just before he died.
At that moment, Damien’s eyes were already bloodshot with murderous intent. He continued using the gun in his hand, and he shot dozens of times.
In the end, it was still no surprise that Janet dodged every bullet.
She had a smirk across her face.
After that, Janet blocked Damien’s continuous kicks in a speedy manner.
Damien was already prepared for this outcome from the very beginning.
However, after living in Sandfort City for such a long time, Janet must not have expected Damien to have trained for another unique deadly skill.
He squinted at her, and his lips curled into a cruel and eerie smile.
His movements were so fast, it was almost impossible to keep up. The result was just like a fierce and violent freehand-boxing match.
Janet blocked one of his hits with her hands, and she was thrown a few metres backward. With that, she narrowed her phoenix eyes. “Octago?”
“Bingo!” Damien remarked mockingly. “I thought you would have forgotten about it after living in the village for so many years .”
The next second, Damien moved to attack Janet who had been thrown a few meters away.
Janet smirked while observing Damien, who was moving forward one step at a time toward her. “It’s over,” she commented lightly.
She had her eyes fixed on Damien’s throat. Just when he was about ten centimetres away from her, Janet’s hand shot out to strangle him by his throat. In the next instant, she swept her leg across the ground swiftly and Damien was forced onto the ground.
Janet had him completely pinned under her body whereas he was staring at her in disbelief. He was so shocked that even his voice was trembling as he said, “I-Is this Lagwanta?”
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Janet’s eyes. “What else could it be?”
“T-This…” Damien did not expect Janet, who had been living in the village all this while, had managed to complete her training in Lagwanta.
“So what if you’ve succeeded in mastering Lagwanta and defeated me today? The venomous wine has already been activated within your body. In less than ten seconds, you will bid this world farewell.”
