Hank was momentarily stunned before saying, “Let me tell you, this is Kayson, the heir of the Zagorski family. The whole of Norham belongs to his family.”
“I don’t care who he is. If you kill him, his father will come after you for revenge. I have nothing to do with it. My target today is you,” Flaxseed replied. With that, Flaxseed’s palm emitted a faint light as he unleashed an attack without concern for Kayson’s safety.
Given his unsuccessful threat, Hank brushed away thoughts of harming Kayson. He was aware that if he killed Kayson, the Zagorski family would never let him off the hook. Frustrated, Hank pushed Kayson aside and then tried fending off Flaxseed’s attack with his palm.
Boom! Following a loud noise, terrifying martial energy spread out in all directions. Flaxseed staggered backward, and his right hand began to feel numb. As it turned out, there was still a huge difference between his strength and Hank’s..
Hank snorted derisively, a cold smirk playing on his lips. “Flaxseed, you were no match for me in the past, and you never will be. You will always be living in my shadow.”
“Hank, you’d better keep your arrogance in check. I’ll teach you a lesson.” Flaxseed’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although he was not strong, he was unrivaled in terms of casting charm spells.
As he activated hand seals, yellow charms appeared around him on which blood-red runes emerged. The charms then instantly morphed into ferocious beasts that rushed toward Hank while roaring. Hank merely sneered. “Hank, I’m not afraid of you and your charm spells.”
As he spoke, he turned and glanced somewhere else before tearing a piece of yellow fabric from one of the doors. Then, he bit his finger and drew something on the yellow fabric with his blood.
Soon, the yellow fabric caught fire, and a large bird flew out of the flames. The bird was engulfed by raging flames. “The Flame Phoenix…” Flaxseed wrinkled his brow. “Hank, how did you summon the Flame Phoenix? That’s Cathy’s…”
Flaxseed’s ex-girlfriend had a unique physique that allowed her to summon the Flame Phoenix. However, that skill was not a technique that could be imparted to someone. Hence, no one could master it.
Nonetheless, Hank had summoned the Flame Phoenix right before Flaxseed’s eyes. That left Flaxseed overwhelmed with shock.
“Everything that she possesses belongs to me. Since she has chosen to be with me, she must dedicate everything to me,” Hank said with at sneer.
Dread inundated Flaxseed while he glanced at Hank “What did you do to Cathy?” Flaxseed asked as a sense of foreboding swirled within his guts.
“I didn’t do anything to her. We merely merged. The Golden Core in her body is now inside me. Otherwise, how could I have summoned the Flame Phoenix?” Hank replied coldly. “You killed her?” Flaxseed’s body trembled as: flames of fury rose within him.
Apparently, Cathy still held a place in Flaxseed’s heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been. decadent for so many years and resorted to becoming a womanizer in a futile effort to numb himself.
The deep-seated love that Flaxseed had for Cathy raged within his heart when he learned that Hank had killed her. “Hey, you’re exaggerating. I didn’t kill her, I merely let her live on in my heart in a different way, Hank said shamelessly. “Go to hell!” Flaxseed’s wrath boiled over as he roared and unleashed the ferocious beasts that growled, too.
