Chapter 78

720 Words
Galahad, akin to a demon from hell, fell one Dark Shadow member after another with his fists. The elders and leaders of Dark Shadow were all soon lying on the ground. Dominic watched in shock. He hadn't expected Galahad and his allies to be such powerful. As the Dark Shadow members were nearing total defeat, Dominic could no longer sit still. With a roar, he charged towards Galahad, who met his charge head-on without fear. With a thunderous crash, they engaged in combat. In the instant they clashed, Dominic was utterly astonished. Galahad's strength was overwhelming. Just the moment contact made Dominic's blood boil with adrenaline. Galahad laughed heartily, "Haha! You're not bad yourself. Finally, an interesting opponent!" Dominic seethed with anger, "Arrogant!" The battle escalated, with Galahad's punches growing fiercer with each blow. Suddenly, with a deafening impact, Galahad struck Dominic in the chest, sending him flying several meters back and onto the ground. Dominic lifted his head, staring at Galahad with a mix of disbelief. In his eyes, Galahad was nothing short of a berserk fighter, growing stronger with each exchange. Galahad taunted, "Come on! Is that all you've got?" Dominic's fear grew. He realized he was no match for this monster of a man and came up with the idea of retreat. Just then, Vincent charged forward with a heavy punch. Dominic couldn't evade in time. With a loud crash, Dominic was sent flying, crashing into a pillar of the hall, which collapsed upon impact. He fell heavily to the ground and coughed up blood,with his internal organs crushed. Dominic lifted his head, his face full of misery, and asked, "Who are you people?" Vincent glanced at his watch and said to Galahad, "It's time to end this. I need to get home and have dinner with my wife." It was already 11 PM, and he wouldn't make it in time for lunch tomorrow. Vincent flicked his cigarette away and approached Dominic with a commanding presence. "First, you helped Armand, and now you tried to assassinate my daughter. You brought this upon yourselves." Vincent continued, "As for who I am..." Dominic awaited an answer, but Vincent turned and walked away. The Knights looked on with admiration as Vincent departed—this was their King. They cheered, "Long live the King!" "Long live the King? Are you King Arthur?" Dominic sighed bitterly, watching Vincent's retreating figure. "I can't believe I'm fortunate enough to die at King Arthur's hands..." Afterward, he spat out a mouthful of blood and ceased to breathe. The next day, the Dark Shadow headquarters lay littered with bodies. Dominic's image, leaning against the shattered pillar with wide-open eyes, spread secretly across the dark web. News of Dark Shadow's demise sent shockwaves through major organizations worldwide. *** At that moment, inside a building in Nacehope City, Blade sat on the couch. Grief-stricken, he was pleading with the person seated opposite him to avenge Osborn. Tim Wright, the gang boss of Nacehope City, was shocked upon learning of Osborn's murder. After all, Osborn was the leader of the entire underworld in Z City. Who could have had the capability to kill him? Seeing Tim remain silent, Blade spoke anxiously, "Mr. Wright..." Tim waved his hand, cutting him off, "Don't worry, I will avenge Osborn. He was like a brother to me. But it's not the time yet. You should rest for now." Although Blade wanted to say more, he knew he had to respect Tim's authority in this territory. After Blade left, an elderly man in a gray suit emerged and asked, "Boss, are we gonna let go of this great opportunity?" With Osborn dead, it meant there was a power vacuum in Z City, the perfect chance for their gang to move in. Tim squinted his eyes and replied calmly, "Of course, I won't let this opportunity slip by. But the situation is unclear right now. If we rush in and provoke someone we shouldn't, we'll regret it." He was a cautious man, which was why he had held onto his position as the gang boss for decades. The elderly man asked, "So what should we do now?" Tim said, "Send a team to Z City to investigate how Osborn died. Once we figure out the cause, we can plan our move into Z City accordingly."
