Chapter 783 The Head of Life Force
Tom had Aria stay in the villa while he took a look at what was going on.
Only after looking at the surroundings with his binoculars did he realize
something was amiss. There should have been many guards near the villa, but
all of them were gone now, which was really strange.
Just when Tom concluded that nothing was out of the ordinary and planned 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 binoculars, only to
realize that all those men were from Skyarch Palace!
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 villa. 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 villa!
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 palm landed on Tom. It caused him to vomit blood as he
was sent flying. Tom's head hit the ground as he collapsed onto the ground, and
he went unconscious instantly.
Tom's skill in combat was greatly diminished when he was without his machete.
Jett did not bother with him at all. He entered the villa 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.
His mentees started to search the house immediately, going through room after
room.
Avria stood by the door of the basement, listening to the noises coming 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 villa, 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 to come
in, she would surely kill them without holding back.

Jett and his mentees arrived outside the basement. They had searched the entire

“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,”
facing the basement door.

Aria and Sherry were not stupid. Of course, they would not be fooled.
Jett continued, “If you come 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 sh
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.
No sound came from inside the basement even after Jett had waited for a while,
and he did not want to wait for any longer. Caspian might come back to the villa if
troublesome. they dragged it out any longer, and that would be very
“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 flashed 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 had laid 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?

He said that to Lucas Thompson, who was currently at a complete 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?”
