Ghent snorted coldly. "How dare you, Frank Lawrence! That's a man of the Sorano family you just killed!" He leapt into the air, running along the wall as he charged down the hallway at Frank like an eagle.
His fingers were outstretched, with red pure vigor swirling around them like claws, tearing shrilly and audibly through the air. The Sorano bodyguards had to clasp their hands over their ears! It was not surprising that Ghent was confident of himself, as he was Ascendant rank.

He steadied himself, inhaling deeply before turning.
Then, he launched a punch swirling in golden pure vigor that met Ghent's claw attack.
Fist and finger collided, the terrible shockwave that ensued, quickly knocking everyone off balance.
Blood splattered across the hallway walls, leaving a sight of gore.
When everyone caught their balance, they froze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, it was not Frank who bled... It was Ghent! Frank's punch was unstoppable-it pierced through Ghent's entire arm, shattering it before hammering a gaping hole in Ghent's chest.
"Oof... Ugh..." Pieces of Ghent's guts had splattered along the wall with his blood, and he was left gaping in disbelief at the young man who stood impassive as he slowly withdrew his fist.
He had been practicing martial arts for decades, but this was his first tencountering such a violent punch... blowing a hole through his arm and chest! It was simply outrageous! "Blargh..." Coughing out a mouthful of blood and guts, Ghent then collapsed on the floor, his eyes wide open in disbelief even as he died. "Mr. Loeb... is dead?!" "Impossible! He's Ascendant rank! There's no way that bastard could kill him with one punch!" "No, no. I must be dreaming." Even as the bodyguards kept withdrawing as they murmured in disbelief, Frank turned toward them, impassive.
"So?" Striding forward, Frank's expression was neutral even as he spoke. "Weren't you boys acting all tough earlier? And there are so many of you you can definitely kill me, don't you think?" "Spineless bullies. You're all trash." Frank shook his head in disappointment after a brief silence.
"Yeah! You killed Mr. Loeb! You're fucked!" "I don't know if I'm going to die..." He slowly looked up, his eyes flashing murderously as he abruptly shoved his foot into the floor tiles and leapt toward the bodyguards. "But none of you are leaving this place alive!"
