Chapter 760: Layla Woods Arrives

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-5

Thud!
The shredded flesh of Vivienne Osborn fell from the wall to the ground.
Her eyeballs, shattered from the impact, burst out from her pulpy head.
They flew straight towards Takada Kazuo and then bounced off him, rolling to a stop about a meter away.
Vivienne Osborn never imagined that she would meet her end in this way.
Her dream of loyalty to the Yamato Dynasty and her allegiance to Wakasa were shattered.
Takada Kazuo jumped in fright, retreating three meters away. He looked at Flynn with fear and said, “You… Vivienne Osborn is one of us Wakasan people. You’re in big trouble now!”
After saying this, he cowered in a corner and took out his phone to make a call.
Jan Struff was also taken aback.
He never expected that Flynn would slap Vivienne Osborn to death.
This woman had already obtained Wakasa citizenship and was under Wakasa’s protection. Flynn’s actions would undoubtedly cause a diplomatic row between the two nations!
“Killing a traitor, what trouble could it bring?” Flynn sneered.
Roman Fokina was momentarily stunned, but the look of fear on his face quickly vanished, replaced by a cunning smile.
“Even if Vivienne Osborn is a traitor, you have no right to use extrajudicial punishment.”
“If you involve Takada Kazuo, you will end up in prison yourself.”
Jan Struff furrowed his brow, a trace of worry flashing across his face.
Roman Fokina was right. Even if it was true that Takada Kazuo stole the formula, Flynn would not escape the charge of intentional murder.
No matter how big Vivienne Osborn’s mistake was, she did not pose a physical threat to anyone else, and Flynn could not kill her privately.
It had to be left to the police to decide on her punishment.
Flynn would be accused of intentional murder!
Thinking he had caught Flynn by the throat, Roman Fokina was excited, his mouth curling into a smug smile.
“Here’s the deal. I’ll have Takada Kazuo take care of Vivienne Osborn’s body for you.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll make it look like a car accident so that you won’t be implicated.”
“But as an exchange condition, today’s events will be forgotten. How about that?”
Vivienne Osborn was just nobody. If she died, they could easily find another replacement.
There were plenty of lackeys willing to pledge their loyalty to Wakasa.
Vivienne Osborn’s death was exactly what Roman Fokina wanted. It gave him leverage over Flynn and there was nothing Flynn could do but accept his proposal.
No matter who he knew, after killing Vivienne Osborn, he couldn’t escape the guilt of murder. So what if he knew Rocco Spencer?
He would use my authority as an envoy to report the matter to Eahta!
“Think carefully. If this matter is reported to the Eahta’s Imperial Center, it will become a serious diplomatic incident.”
“Even if Rocco Spencer has connections, he won’t be able to save you,” sneered Junichiro Koizumi.
“A diplomatic incident?” Flynn’s eyes turned cold. “Is that your trump card? Do you think I’m afraid just because it escalates to a conflict between nations?”
“You don’t even know who I am, and yet you’re here acting clever. Don’t you find that amusing?”
“Don’t talk about Vivienne Osborn anymore. Even if I kill you as an envoy, Wakasa will have to swallow this anger!”
“What? How arrogant!” Roman Fokina’s face turned pale. He involuntarily took two steps back and stammered, “I am an envoy from Wakasa. If you kill me, it will be considered declaring war on Wakasa.”
“You will become an infamous criminal!”
“Declare war?” Flynn chuckled disdainfully, “Sounds like a good idea!”
“I believe most Ostradian people would gladly see you wiped out.”
“What can the Republic of Federation’s pets do? Just serve your master well. Don’t play all high and mighty with me.”
Just as he finished speaking, a stern voice filled with anger and disdain rang out.
“Let’s see if you can still be so arrogant when Layla Woods arrives!”
“Ms. Woods is now practicing as a Great Grandmaster. If you dare touch us, she will definitely kill you!”
Takada Kazuo realized that Flynn was meant to kill him.
However, as long as Layla Woods was here, even if she had suspicions, she would take him to the police station and prevent Flynn from using extrajudicial punishment.
As long as they went to the police station, at most he would receive a few years’ sentence or even be expelled from the country with the involvement of various forces. He wouldn’t face imprisonment.
Flynn remained expressionless, his face calm as he said to Takada Kazuo, “The medical book stolen from my Uncle Matteo ten years ago is now in whose hands?”
“I’ll give you ten seconds to consider.”
“If you don’t speak up, your fate will be the same as Arthur Fils’.”
Roman Fokina’s face darkened and he squinted his eyes. “Are you really going to push this further?”
“There is an old saying in Ostrad-those who recognize the situation are wise heroes. Are you targeting Komatsu Conglomerate like this? Your family might…”
Thump!
Before he could finish speaking, Flynn delivered a high kick that landed directly on Roman Fokina’s right cheek.
It sent him stumbling sideways for several steps before falling face-first into the ground.
His nose bled and he lost a front tooth.
His brain buzzed as he propped himself up with both hands on the ground. He kept shaking his head but couldn’t regain clarity of mind. He felt like his neck had been snapped too.
“Just shut the fuck up!”
“I’ve said so much to you, but it seems like none of it went through!”
Flynn looked at Roman Fokina coldly with disgust in his eyes. “I don’t even bother using my hands against your Wakasan people because I’m afraid you’re dirty!”
After saying this, Flynn grabbed Takada Kazuo by the neck with one hand and held his shoulder with the other hand, exerting gentle pressure.
Crack!
His shoulder blade snapped.
Takada Kazuo screamed in agony and terror filled his eyes.
“The time is up. You missed your chance for a painless death,” Flynn said expressionlessly and placed his hand on Takada Kazuo’s right shoulder.
“Ugh… I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Takada Kazuo finally regained his senses.
He knew that Flynn was far from being normal!
If he didn’t speak up now, before Layla Woods arrived, all his bones would be broken!
“Ten years ago, Komatsu Conglomerate did indeed obtain a medical book which is now in our boss’s possession. He likes it very much and carries it with him at all times.”
“Spare me! Spare me!” Takada Kazuo shouted hoarsely in desperation.
He was terrified.
This ruthless man dared to strike even an envoy. There was nothing he wouldn’t dare do!
Flynn nodded expressionlessly. “Alright, I understand. Vivienne Osborn is waiting for you in hell. I’ll send you to keep her company.”
After saying that, he raised his palm and was about to strike Takada Kazuo’s head when a stern rebuke came from the doorway.
“Stop!”
Layla Woods entered the CEO’s office with an icy expression on her face as she glanced around the room. She couldn’t help but be slightly shocked by what she saw happening inside.
What had this bastard done?
Wherever he went, rivers of blood flew!
“Dr. Woods!” Jan Struff saw Layla Woods enter and couldn’t help but show some respect involuntarily.
He had suffered from shoulder impingement for three years during which he had invited Layla Woods several times for treatment.
He was willing to pay ten million in consultation fees.
But unfortunately, his social status was too low. She didn’t even bother giving him a second glance and coming over for treatment.
Now that Takada Kazuo called this figure over, Flynn had no choice but to stop at this point…
Otherwise, Layla Woods would definitely use force to stop him!
She was a Great Grandmaster… Could this young man withstand even half of her moves?
