Chapter 793 Infighting
Sylvia and Laina couldn't be certain whether Lyndon had been turned into a puppet.
Thus, Sylvia approached Lyndon with a look of displeasure, saying, "Mr. Andrews prepared this feast as a reward for us. What gives you the right to stop us from drinking?"
"| don't care. A curfew's a curfew! You can do whatever you want when you leave, but right now, you're in the King's residence!" Lyndon declared sternly.
Shuffling forward in a seemingly drunken manner, Sylvia grabbed an empty bottle and attempted to attack Lyndon with it. However, Lyndon didn't move at all.
At the same time, Hendrik, who was standing behind Lyndon, knocked the bottle away.
“We don't care who you are! We're going to do whatever we want! We'll only leave if Mr. Andrews tells us to!" Sylvia shouted.
She didn't intend to continue testing Lyndon. From the earlier exchange, she had already noticed Lyndon's somewhat empty gaze.
After hearing what Sylvia said, the members of Life Force joined in heartily. "You're right! We're not leaving until we've finished all the booze!"
Hendrik was taken aback. Did the members of Life Force truly think they could do whatever they wanted just because they had accomplished a mission?
Brimming with hostility, Hendrik decided to teach them a lesson. "Oh? Are you ignoring the curfew?" Lyndon said icily.
"Don't be such a fucking buzzkill!" Sylvia shouted.
Lyndon flicked his hand, and over a dozen guards rushed over. Just then, Igor Dunn, Jett's mentee, hastily came forward.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“We're all on the same side here. We didn't know about the curfew here at the King's residence, so now that you've told us about it, we'll cut our feast short. Let's all calm down, yeah?" Igor said.
He knew that if it came to blows, the members of Life Force might not be able to take on the guards. While speaking, he approached Lyndon timidly. However, Hendrik immediately kicked Igor, who flew several feet backward before slamming against the wall.
After taking in Igor's pathetic state, the members of Life Force immediately shook their heads. They all thought Igor was too weak.
They would much rather follow Sammy's orders instead. All eyes were on Sylvia, who was disguised as Sammy. The moment she gave the word, they would immediately attack the guards.
Meanwhile, Laina also sensed something amiss about Lyndon and the way he spoke. It felt like he was acting as someone else's mouthpiece instead. "Who gave you the authority to attack him?" Laina confronted Hendrik.
"This is the King's residence! | have the authority here. You should already be thanking me for not locking all of you up!" Hendrik scoffed derisively.
“Let's stop wasting our breaths. We're all fighters here. Let's deal with this our way. What do you say?" Laina said condescendingly.
Hendrik came over to pick on Life Force, so he was thrilled by Laina's suggestion.
"Sure! That suits me just fine!" Hendrik declared with a grin.
"How's this? We'll have a one-on-one fight to see who's the better fighter!" Laina said.
She had her reasons for making this suggestion.
Laina wanted to cause a scene among the members of Skyarch Palace. That way, they could sneak Lyndon off amid the chaos. She was certain Lyndon knew what had happened in the King's residence.
After hearing her suggestion, Hendrik felt even more cocky.
Raging Blade would not lose in a one-on-one fight.
"Sure! That's settled, then. You're not allowed to back out now!" Hendrik quickly agreed.
At last, the members of Life Force finally sensed that something was up. Though they were all in varying states of inebriation, they still had some of their wits.
The guards were all elite fighters from Raging Blade, so the members of Life Force knew they couldn't win against the guards. Igor, who was still on the floor, was stupefied when he heard Laina's suggestion. Such a situation was detrimental to Life Force. "Who wants to go first?" Hendrik asked the guards.
All of them stepped forward. They all thought they could easily take down the members of Life Force, so naturally, they all volunteered to go first.
On the other hand, the members of Life Force were all hesitant. They didn't know what to do. It was too late to back down. The guards felt even more smug when they saw the members of Life Force cowering.
Just then, Laina took a step forward and pointed at Hendrik, asking, "Why don't you go first? We can set an example for the others."
All of the guards were stunned.
They couldn't believe how brazen Laina was. What gave her the nerve to challenge Hendrik? Hendrik came forward with a grin.
He didn't think Laina could do anything to him at all. After all, she was merely one of Jett's mentees. Laina let out a roar as she charged at Hendrik.
The guards all guffawed at her amateurish attack.
