Chapter 783 The Head of Life Force


    Tom had Aria stay in the vi while he took a look at what was going on.


    Only after looking at the surroundings with his binocrs did he realize something was amiss. There


    should have been many guards near the vi, but all of them were gone now, which was really strange.


    Just when Tom concluded that nothing was out of the ordinary and nned to go back inside, he


    noticed that a group of people was heading toward the building.


    He held his breath and took a careful look at them through the binocrs, only to realize that all those


    men were from Skyarch Pce!


    He put his thumb and index finger into his mouth and whistled loudly. This alerted Aria, who escorted


    Sherry into the basement immediately.


    Tom was unarmed, but he did not have the time to retrieve his machete from inside the vi. He


    needed to stop those people from entering before doing anything else.


    Jett and his mentees made up a group of five. Upon seeing Tom outside, a mentee named Chad Smith


    aimed a punch at his face immediately.


    Tom was not dumb. He could never fight four people with only his fists, and that was why he would not


    counter his enemy directly.


    Just as he stepped sideways, Chad''s fist whooshed by Tom''s ear. The powerful force made Tom''s


    cheek muscles tremble.


    Only at that moment did he realize that his enemy was quite powerful.


    Noticing that he had failed to hit his enemy, Chad raised his leg and aimed a kick at Tom''s lower body.


    Resignedly, Tom had no choice but to retaliate with a kick of his own. With that, they were facing off


    each other in a fight.


    A powerful force exploded around them before they both took several steps back.


    Tom felt his leg muscles go numb, but he could only pretend that everything was fine.


    He was skilled with a machete, but he was without one at the moment. He was sure that he could not


    defeat these people while unarmed.


    "Don''t just stand there! Attack him!" Jett yelled, waving in the air.


    Their goal was to capture Caspian''s mother, so they did not want to waste much time on Tom.


    The remaining three mentees charged toward Tom, who cursed, "Fuck! How unscrupulous! Weren''t


    you guys going to fight me one-on-one?"


    He should have taken his machete with him when he left the vi!


    Just as Tom was about to dodge, Jett struck as well.


    Tom felt helpless against a sneak attack from Jett, who was an innate grandmaster. His shin was still


    numb. It was almost impossible to dodge Jett''s attack at this point.


    With a dull thud, Jett''s palmnded on Tom. It caused him to vomit blood as he was sent flying. Tom''s


    head hit the ground as he copsed onto the ground, and he went unconscious instantly.


    Tom''s skill inbat was greatly diminished when he was without his machete.


    Jett did not bother with him at all. He entered the vi with his mentees in tow, only to realize that the


    living room was deserted. Despite that, he noticed that there was a half-eaten apple on the table.


    "Search the house immediately. They must''ve hidden somewhere!" Jett ordered.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    His mentees started to search the house immediately, going through room after room.


    …


    Aria stood by the door of the basement, listening to the noisesing from above. She was worried


    about Tom, but she could not leave the basement as she had to guard Sherry.


    At this moment, a rapid sequence of footsteps could be heard from outside the door.


    Both Aria and Sherry heard the sound clearly. Sherry said, "I think the other party has sent quite a lot of


    people here. Can Tom deal with them by himself? You should lend him a hand; I''ll hide here. I should


    be fine."


    Aria shook her head and said nothing else. If the enemy had entered the vi, it meant that they had


    already dealt with Tom.


    The only thing Aria could do now was to protect Sherry.


    Hearing the rapidly approaching footsteps, Aria grew increasingly nervous. She took a dagger out and


    stood in front of the door. If anyone had the nerve toe in, she would surely kill them without holding


    back.


    …


    Jett and his mentees arrived outside the basement. They had searched the entire vi, and it was


    empty, which meant that Sherry must be in the basement.


    "You don''t need to hide, Madam Lynch. We harbor no bad intentions. We were tasked by Mr. Massey to


    take you back to the family residence," Jett shouted, facing the basement door.


    Aria and Sherry were not stupid. Of course, they would not be fooled.


    Jett continued, "If youe out now, Madam Lynch, I can make sure that you''ll be safe and sound.


    We''re Mr. Massey''s subordinates. What''s there to fear?"


    Jett did not want to fight anyone either. If Sherry could walk out of the basement directly, that would


    save him a lot of trouble. As long as Sherry was captured, they could restrict Caspian''s actions.


    Sherry was absolutely shocked out of her mind and at a loss for what to do. However, Aria gave her a


    look, telling her to stay put. Sherry nodded, showing her agreement.


    "It seems that you don''t believe us, Madam Lynch. I hope we don''t end up injuring you when we break


    in," Jett said.


    Jett gritted his teeth as he directed his life force to his palms and released it toward the direction of the


    basement door.


    With a loud noise, the door fell. At this moment, a metallic glint shed by as something was shot


    toward him from inside the basement.


    Jett froze for a while before quickly dodging it. He then realized that it was a hidden arrow.


    Caspian hadid a few traps in the basement in case of emergencies. Who knew that Jett and his


    mentees would end up being the unlucky ones subjected to them?


    Jett''s other mentees were shocked to see that. Jett was now certain that traps wereid in this


    basement, which made him more cautious.


    At the same time, he was certain that Sherry was currently inside.


    "You two! Charge!" Jett said with a wave of his hand.


    The two men in question felt helpless. One of them said in a panicked tone, "Maybe we can stay here,


    sir? They can''t escape now, anyway. What if there are other traps in the basement?"


    He said that to Lucas Thompson, who was currently at aplete loss for what to do. He would die no


    matter what he did, but perhaps he could manage to scrape by if he ran away now.


    Just as Lucas was about to turn tail and run, he suddenly felt something lodged in his back. "Are you


    trying to run away and go against the head''s orders?"
