Brian’s lethal strike sent a chilling message to the group of assassins.

Despite their numbers, around 30 or 40 carefully chosen elites, nearly half of them were killed with just one blow.

Brian’s formidable strength instilled fear in the remaining assassins.

Prior to their arrival, the assassins had gathered intelligence that the elite fighters of the nearby Celestial Alliance had been deployed elsewhere.

Seeing the vulnerability in the defenses surrounding Alicia and Aurora, they perceived an opportunity for assassination. Unbeknownst to them, a young powerhouse lay concealed within the villa.

His words resounded like thunder and caused the assassins to recoil instinctively.
