Chapter 820: A Few More Slaps

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-19

Before the slap even landed, Xavier Caldwell was struck by Flynn’s thunderous force. His clothes immediately tore into shreds and exploded with a sonic boom as he flew horizontally down the mountain.
However, Flynn didn’t use too much force, afraid that Xavier Caldwell couldn’t withstand being turned into a bloody mist and that his blood would dirty the place.
After all, he wasn’t as tough as Jack Jenkins…
“We’re about one-third of the way to the summit. We should be able to see Lord Valerian Nox soon.”
“If I could make friends with someone who can kill Jack Jenkins in an instant and have him guide me, it would be such an honor!”
“Lord Valerian Nox would agree to be friends, or even take me as his disciple. After all, I am also quite exceptional…”
Layla Woods was somewhat hopeful.
Just then, a dark shadow came hurtling towards them.
The speed was too fast for Layla Woods to dodge!
In an instant, the shadow crashed into her embrace, almost causing her to roll off the cliff.
“What is this? Huh? Xavier Caldwell!” Layla Woods looked at the corpse in her arms in confusion.
Had Lord Valerian Nox gone mad?
Looking at the mangled and unrecognizable Xavier Caldwell, Layla Woods almost vomited.
The stench of blood was too strong. It was too gruesome.
She immediately threw his body aside in disgust.
“Huh? Wait, the tiger head tattoo!” Layla Woods noticed the tattoo on Xavier Caldwell’s shoulder, and her face changed drastically.
She had seen this tattoo before.
On the night of Maximo Goff’s destruction, she encountered an assassin in Northview.
During their fight, she noticed the tattoo on the assassin’s shoulder.
She mistakenly believed that Flynn had hired the assassin for a large sum of money and had been investigating.
But there were too few clues and no leads.
She never expected that the assassin that night was Xavier Caldwell.
He was Zion Watson’s servant and would never work for Flynn, no matter how much money was offered.
Moreover, because of Harriet Hamilton’s matter, the Watson family had been trying to kill him. How could he help Flynn?
She realized she had misunderstood Flynn!
But why would Zion Watson want to kill her?
Layla Woods couldn’t make sense of it and quickly headed up the mountain.
“Xavier Caldwell! My loyal servant! Flynn, you…” Zion Watson’s bloodshot eyes widened. His brain buzzed, and his heart almost burst.
“Spurt-”
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
In just five minutes, he lost his father-in-law, wife, and his henchman.
They were the people he was closest to!
Xavier Caldwell had served him since a young age.
For thirty years, Xavier Caldwell took care of everything meticulously and efficiently.
He had helped Zion Watson fend off several assassination attempts.
Their relationship appeared to be that of a servant and master but they were like family!
To some extent, Xavier Caldwell was even closer than Simone Watson because aristocratic families lacked emotions.
The same went for Simone Watson and Zion Watson.
Because of Harriet Hamilton, Simone Watson and Zion Watson had a strained relationship.
Xavier Caldwell was different. He always made Zion Watson happy.
But now Flynn killed him!
“Vomiting blood? You’re really digesting!”
“Go back and tell Dario Bragg that he can seek revenge anytime he wants, but this time, I’ll go find him!”
“Now get out of here with your people!”
Flynn said with disgust on his face.
Zion Watson couldn’t die yet. Flynn wanted to use him as bait until that mysterious person showed up.
Besides, he wanted Zion Watson to deliver a message that Dario Bragg couldn’t come to Jade Dragon Mountain as Jack Jenkins did.
“Get the hell out of here! Scram!”
Zion Watson’s subordinates felt like they were granted amnesty. Even Zion Watson didn’t expect Flynn to spare him. They quickly took Simone Watson’s body away.
“Thank you, Flynn.” Harriet blinked her misty eyes and thanked him.
The suppressed anger she had held for twenty years disappeared without a trace.
Flynn helped her kill Simone Watson.
From now on, she wouldn’t have to be controlled by Zion Watson or live in hatred anymore.
Flynn waved his hand casually. “I’m causing trouble for the Watson family not only because of you.”
“No need to be so polite.”
Peter Gray approached with an ingratiating smile and stammered, “Uh… Lord Valerian Nox… can we leave now?”
He was trembling and stuttering,
Rolando Gray hid behind his grandfather without daring to breathe heavily.
Adria Langford’s legs were shaking out of fear, and he couldn’t even stand up straight.
“Oh? I almost forgot about you guys!”
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Flynn rewarded them with a few slaps each.
“Ah-”
The faces of the three instantly split open and they screamed in pain.
Bobby Sheppard couldn’t stop gasping in shock.
Idiots! Couldn’t they just keep a low profile? Was Lord Valerian Nox someone they could offend?
They brought it on themselves!
“Peyton, do you believe me now?” Bobby Sheppard looked at his daughter with a smile.
From now on, no one in Pelens would dare to cross him!
All the aristocratic families would bow their heads when they saw him!
Of course, Flynn never admitted that the Sheppard family were his servants, but it didn’t stop others from thinking so!
Even if a dog had any connection with Lord Valerian Nox, it could run rampant in Pelens!
That was the power of a Greater Sovereign!
“Yes. I… I believe now…” Peyton Sheppard stared at Flynn in a daze with her eyes wide open.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
Bobby Sheppard told her about Flynn’s true identity. It shocked her greatly at the time.
But Peyton Sheppard always felt that her father was exaggerating because Flynn was too young after all.
When something was passed around so much, it would eventually deviate from reality.
Even a cat could be rumored to be a tiger.
Now seeing it with her own eyes completely overturned Peyton Sheppard’s understanding.
She stood dumbfounded after Flynn delivered the first slap.
After killing Simone Watson, she covered her mouth with her hands in even more shock. Her eyes were filled with astonishment.
That was Simone Watson, after all! In Pelens, who wouldn’t give her face?
Even the Gray family has a city governor, they had to bow their heads when they saw Simone Watson.
Why? Because she was from the Jenkins family!
However, in Flynn’s eyes, she was no different from livestock. He could kill as he pleased!
A big shot everyone looked up to was just dust beneath his feet.
“But what if Dario Bragg comes after Lord Valerian Nox? Can he win?”
“If he loses, won’t our family be finished?” Peyton Sheppard worriedly asked.
Dario Bragg didn’t have an ounce of mercy in his heart.
If he found out about Stellan Wallace’s death, he would definitely kill Flynn and then uproot Lord Valerian Nox’s affiliated forces!
Bobby Sheppard smiled and said, “I have confidence in Lord Valerian Nox. Besides, we are businessmen. There are risks in investments but high returns too!”
“A wise choice is more important than effort!”
Adria Langford and the Grays coughed up blood continuously. They almost lost half their lives from Flynn’s slaps. Especially Peter Gray who couldn’t bear it at his old age. He lost seven or eight teeth, and his old face was completely ruined.
“Get lost!” Flynn left these words behind as he turned towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
The move he had used to kill Jack Jenkins had unleashed an immense aura. Although he had tried to control it, the shockwaves still swept across the entire Jade Dragon Mountain.
Boulders tumbled down the slopes.
He planned to forge his sword here tomorrow and wanted to check if the gathering of spiritual energy had been affected.
Molly George and others were confused seeing Flynn running deeper into the forest.
They didn’t understand why Flynn kept going further inside.
Just as they were about to chase after him, Layla Woods arrived.
She anxiously looked around but only saw Peter Gray and two others covered in blood supporting each other as they descended from the mountain.
She also saw Molly George along with eight other girls.
Where was Lord Valerian Nox?
“Ms. Roy, have you seen Lord Valerian Nox?” Layla Woods approached Kendal Roy to ask.
