Afterward, Chris and Seraphina got out of the car. At the same time, five individuals descended from a Mazda. Each of these five exuded a powerful aura, evidently all were practitioners at the Transcendence realm. Particularly, the leader in black was none other than Dark Sin of the Hall of Valerian!
Seraphina coldly said to Dark Sin, “You’ve chased me all the way from Babylon to here. Now that I’m right here, if you dare, kill me!”
Dark Sin sneered, “Seraphina, you must admit, you’re lucky to have survived jumping off such a high cliff, but your luck ends today. Today is the day you die!”
Chris stepped forward, mocking, “Dark Sin, when you say that, do you even consider me?”
“Chris!”
Seeing Chris, Dark Sin’s expression turned extremely grave. He had witnessed Chris’s strength before, and even he was no match for Chris.
“Daring to cause trouble on the East Coast, none of you will leave alive today!”
Chris roared and immediately charged towards Dark Sin and his group. Seraphina quickly followed suit.
Seeing Chris approach, Dark Sin dared not underestimate him. He bellowed, “Kill him!”
Instantly, a fierce battle ensued. Chris’s opponent was naturally Dark Sin. As for the other four from the Hall of Valerian, Seraphina took them on. Eliminating Dark Sin meant the others were hardly a concern.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Chris threw punch after punch. In an instant, Dark Sin was sent flying backwards. The look in Dark Sin’s eyes when he gazed at Chris was filled with wariness. Strong! Incredibly strong!
Dark Sin gritted his teeth, “Kill him!”
At his command, the other Hall of Valerian practitioners attacked Chris in unison. Chris chuckled coldly, reached out, and grabbed one by the neck. Snap! A crisp sound was heard, and the man was dead.
Seeing this, the remaining Hall of Valerian practitioners felt their scalps tingle. With just one move, Chris had killed one of them; his strength was truly terrifying!
“Kill him! Kill him!”
Dark Sin hysterically shouted. Hearing this, the other practitioners had no choice but to bravely charge at Chris.
Chris snorted coldly and threw two punches. Boom! Boom! His fists struck the chests of two Hall of Valerian practitioners, shattering their hearts. At that moment, Seraphina had also killed the last one.
Now, only Dark Sin remained. With a look of horror, he didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to flee.
“Go to hell!”
Seeing Dark Sin run, Chris immediately pursued him. Boom! Boom! Boom! With a roar, Chris launched a furious assault.
“Ahh!”
A scream echoed as Chris tore off one of Dark Sin’s arms. Dark Sin, his face twisted in pain, didn’t dare to stop and continued to flee rapidly.
Watching Dark Sin’s fleeing figure, Chris frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected Dark Sin to be so decisive, opting to amputate his arm to survive. It seemed he had still underestimated Dark Sin!
After settling matters with Dark Sin and his cohorts, Chris and Seraphina returned to their car. Chris knew that although Dark Sin had been defeated this time, they would not simply give up. Next time, the Hall of Valerian would surely send even stronger practitioners!
Driving back to the villa, Seraphina said, “Mr. Shelby, I am planning to leave the East Coast and return home!”
“Ah!”
Esther exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Seraphina’s decision.
“Seraphina, why are you leaving? Haven’t the people chasing you been dealt with? You can stay here on the East Coast!”
Over the past few days, Esther and Seraphina had overcome their initial reservations about each other. After all, Seraphina was the daughter of Chris’s mentor, and Esther felt it was poor form to continue treating her coldly.
Seraphina smiled and replied, “I have matters to attend to back in Middleton.”
“But what if you run into those villains again?”
Esther asked, hesitant.
Seraphina was aware that returning to Middleton wouldn’t be peaceful. Now that the Hall of Valerian had targeted her, they wouldn’t let things lie. But as the captain of the Cinder Society, she had to return to Middleton and report back to Master William.
At that moment, Chris interjected, “Seraphina, stay here for a while longer until your injuries fully heal. As for the Hall of Valerian, don’t worry! This is the East Coast. No matter how many they send, I guarantee they won’t return!”
Hearing this, Seraphina hesitated but eventually agreed.
Seraphina looked at Chris and said, “Mr. Shelby, by crippling Dark Sin, the people from the Hall of Valerian will surely not let this go. I believe they will send more people soon.”
Chris had been dealing with the Hall of Valerian for a long time now. He had repeatedly foiled Daniel Williams’s plans, and Daniel could no longer tolerate him. Moreover, with Master William in poor health, the political scene in Amerosia was turbulent. For Daniel Williams, Chris was a stumbling block that needed to be removed at all costs!
Anticipating the next move from the Hall of Valerian, Chris contacted Tiger and others.
“Phoenix, lead the Guards of Death and station them outside the city. Be ready to act on command at the first sign of trouble!”
“Tiger, you and the East Coast Guards along with the Guards of Death stay on standby, ready for any attack from the Hall of Valerian!”
At Chris’s command, Tiger and Phoenix immediately prepared for action. The Guards of Death were Chris’s personal bodyguards. The East Coast Guards, having been through numerous battles at Quartz Ridge, had undergone a complete transformation.
If the Hall of Valerian dared to come again, they were sure to face certain death!
Meanwhile, Chris also called Lynx to keep a close watch on the movements of the Hall of Valerian. He instructed her to call him immediately with any developments.
For several days, the East Coast remained calm. However, Chris knew this was just the calm before the storm.
Ring! One day, Chris received a call from Lynx.
“Boss, according to the information I’ve gathered, the Hall of Valerian has sent people to the East Coast!”
“This time they’ve dispatched a hundred people, all top practitioners from the Hall of Valerian, led by Dark Sin. Also, I’ve heard from reliable sources that practitioners from Whisperwind Ridge are among them.”
“What? Whisperwind Ridge’s practitioners!”
