Lynn screamed. I dropped to the ground and rolled, avoiding Jerry's punch. However, I was at my limit.
Although I had learned many combat styles due to my family's education, it was only effective against untrained people. In the face of professionally trained individuals, it was nothing.
As expected, I had just evaded the first punch when the second one came. I could only try to avoid it; it would probably kill me. At the same time, I grabbed a champagne bottle and threw it. The bottle shattered on Jerry's head, but it seemed to have no effect as he continued charging at me.
"Don't evade him! Weren't you so prideful just now?"
"Look how terrified he is of Jerry. He's probably pissing his pants."
"From this guy's moves, he probably has some basic combat knowledge. He must've thought he was some knight swooping in to save the princess, even daring to stick his nose into matters of Dragonshade Society!"
Damian squeezed his way to the front of the crowd and screamed at Arthur, "Dad, it's him! He was the one who beat me up!"
Liana narrowed her eyes and huffed. "He's brave. Not only did he beat up Damian, he even chased him here to make a scene."
She turned to Lynn next and said, "Lynn, who is this? How dare you bring someone like that to make a scene in front of Jaxon? You must have a death wish!"
Lynn was horrified. She shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no. I didn't bring him here. He... he's just a worker at my bar. William, stop fighting. Apologize to Mr. Wilde!"
I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her.
Jerry's every attack escalated. My evasion tactics were slipping. I was terrified that I would get punched in the next second and die with blood spurting out of my mouth upon impact.
Suddenly, there was a commotion near the door. Around eight members of Dragonshade Society collapsed in front of Jaxon, one of them nearly falling on him.
Jaxon was the leader of Dragonshade Society for a reason. In the face of such a dramatic situation, he remained motionless. He was brave, at the very least.
Everyone turned their gazes from me to the door. Jerry stopped as well and looked at the door curiously.
Arthur raged, "Where's Oscar, the useless twit? How dare he disappear? He is the team lead of the security faction. Now the function is absolutely chaotic. He's got a death wish!"
As he spoke, the guards around the entrance had been dealt with.
Then, fifty or so men in suits and sunglasses marched into the hall.
In comparison with the colorfully dressed lackeys in the room, these guards outdid them just by their looks.
After walking in, they stood in two lines, clearing a path between them.
Then, four men walked in, holding a stretcher. Although there was a white cloth on the stretcher, the imprint of a human was still visible.
Everyone in the room was astounded. They had never seen such a situation before! Even during Elijah's reign, no one had dared to show up at their place and declare a challenge. No one dared to offend them to this extent.
Jaxon could no longer hold it in. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Who are you? Don't you know that this celebratory feast belongs to Dragonshade Society? I'm the leader of Dragonshade Society, Jaxon Wilde!"
Eight professional guards stood behind him as he spoke, their eyes radiating menace.
