Chapter 3707
Many people knew Adrian to be one of the most outstanding disciples in the Golden Palace’s outer circle, and that he had a
chance to become the young lord of the sacred martial arts training ground.
Adrian must’ve assigned Smoke to Koen in order to get the support he needed and gain total control of Golden Palace’s outer
circle.
Simply put, the engagement banquet represented Adrian’s absolute will.
Not only did this mean that Adrian was determined to take over the entire outer circle, but he was also dead set on permanently
dealing with Harvey and the others.
If they only ruined Koen’s engagement, they would probably still have the chance to live. However, they were destined to die
horrible deaths if they tampered with Adrian’s plans!
Bam!
An elderly man in a yellow robe took a step forward from the corner where he stood, and then pounced
He looked like an eagle diving down onto his prey, flying right toward Layne before swiping its claws.
A killer move!
The man was planning to make an example out of Layne.
He wanted everyone to know that Adrian would stop at nothing to take control of Golden Palace’s outer circle.
He wanted them to know that anyone who dared to go against Koen would die without question!
Swoosh!
The sound barrier seemed to break down and sharp humming noises could be heard in the air; the man’s attack felt like a
surging wave with a terrifying aura, charging right toward Layne.
The guests instinctively shook their heads, thinking that Layne would either die or be badly injured.
The women were all covering their eyes, looking away from the sight of Layne’s imminent doom.
Even Layne’s expression changed.
She was quite the skillful martial artist-she was the Martial Hall’s best instructor, but she was still no match against Smoke.
While she was gritting her teeth, Rachel calmly took a step and threw a punch.
Under the crowd’s shocked gaze, Rachel’s fist made contact with Smoke’s fingers.
Loud cracks coming from Smoke’s hand could be heard.
In an instant, his entire right hand was completely mangled.
“Aaagh!”
Wails of pain were heard soon after.
Smoke was instantly sent flying; he couldn’t even get back up after he slammed to the ground.
‘He’s done for?!’
‘In just one move?!’
Koen and the entire crowd of guests were completely shocked.
Smoke was an expert of the Golden Palace!
He was an immensely strong fighter; he was considered to be near-invincible!
Yet, he was crippled so easily by one of Harvey’s subordinates.
“How did this happen?!”
“What’s going on?!”
“That woman crippled Smoke with just a single punch!”
“Did Smoke underestimate his opponent?”
The crowd went slack from bewilderment.
They couldn’t accept the fact that the well-renowned Smoke was defeated in a single move.
“Who are you?!”
Smoke was no longer silent.
He held his injured arm as he screeched.
“Since when did someone like you exist in the younger generation?!”
Rachel calmly stepped back before continuing to hold the umbrella for Harvey.
“Since you’re already crippled, I’ll let you live; you better know what’s best for you.”
Harvey calmly glanced at Smoke before walking forward.
His calm gaze was enough to terrify Smoke.
Harvey didn’t do anything himself, but it was clear that he was no ordinary man since he had people like La and Rachel
supporting him.
