The Almighty Lord Caspian

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.

…

Aria stood by the door of the basement, listening to the noises coming from above. She was worried Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

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 villa, 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 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 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 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?

Jett's other mentees were shocked to see that. Jett was now certain that traps were laid 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 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?"
