Chapter 674

Justin realized he'd never truly known Lily.

"Why—you—" Henry gasped, utterly shocked by Lily's power. He stumbled back, shouting, "Attack! Attack!"

A cold wind whipped past Lily as she braced herself against an incoming projectile.

"Watch out!" Justin yelled.

Lily's brows furrowed as she swiftly dodged the attack. She and her opponent moved with blinding speed, a blur of motion.

Before Justin could finish accusing Henry Lodge of collusion, he was attacked. Forced to defend himself, he faced opponents on both sides, each fighting ferociously with superior skill.

Lily focused, her battle calming her. After a series of exchanges, she finally saw her opponent clearly: a large, heavily bearded man, vicious in appearance. Despite several kicks, he remained unfazed, seemingly impervious to pain.

Justin's opponent, in contrast, appeared deceptively mild, more academician than thug. Yet his attacks were ruthless, delivered with a smug smile. Justin struggled to defend himself.

The bearded man, Apollo, wore black, his powerful physique clearly visible. His opponent, Creed, was clad in white, appearing frail. Lily suspected they were the legendary "Light-Shadow Killers" of the kickboxing world.

Kickboxing, seemingly in decline due to a lack of recent news, was far from extinct. The ancient kickboxing families hadn't disappeared; they simply evolved. Some, like the Lodge family, focused on business, accepting few disciples and using kickboxing primarily for self-improvement. To outsiders, this appeared as decline, when in reality it was simply a shift in priorities. Others retreated to secluded areas—islands or mountains—losing contact with the outside world and fading from public view.

The Light-Shadow Killers belonged to the long-missing Riggs family. Lily had never anticipated encountering, let alone fighting, these legendary figures. Does this mean the Riggs family supports Henry?!

Distracted by her thoughts, Lily nearly suffered a blow to her left shoulder. She reacted instantly, narrowly avoiding a potentially bone-shattering strike. The rumored top kickboxer's power was terrifying.

"Capture them! Quickly!" Henry yelled from the sidelines, his earlier confidence wavering as the battle raged. He'd initially felt certain of victory, but now he was unsure.

No, it can't be! I specifically hired Apollo and Creed. Nothing must go wrong!
