Chapter 293

Whoosh!

A gust of wind nipped at Thaddeus‘ nose. It was ominous, ruthless, and swift!

If he weren’t quick on his feet and if he weren’t so agile, he might not have dodged the sudden attack!

With just one move, Thaddeus saw it.

Beneath Avery’s genteel exterior was a beast as fierce as a split personality, wild and untamed!

Thaddeus could never let Evadne go with him.

Never!

Everything happened too quickly. Evadne was still obliviously walking ahead, completely unaware of the fiery turmoil behind her!

Avery swung at him again, Thaddeus nimbly dodged, instantly raising his long leg and sweeping it through the air, narrowly missing Avery’s chest!

Avery staggered back two steps, straining to keep his footing. His slender hands, which seemed incapable of harm under his sleek silver cufflinks, were clenched so tightly they were practically shaking.

Thaddeus, who had been attacked, stood there immovable as ever, like he was rooted to the ground, not budging an inch.

Avery slowly adjusted his glasses, a blood–red hue filled his eyes!

For the past decade or so, in the small town of Helgen, Avery had been training to become stronger to be able to protect his mother and recruit strong assistants. He had sought out masters, learning martial arts and skills every day, almost masochistically.

Close combat, shooting, firearms, daggers… he had dabbled in all of them. His intelligence made up for his physical weakness, and his willingness to work hard made up for his innate shortcomings.

He had been confident in his abilities.
