The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 700 The Mysterious Skyarch Palace

Wyatt dared not be careless. He quickly used his arm to block Laina's attack.

Laina's kick that landed on Wyatt's arm did not bring him any life-threatening damage.

Nonetheless, Laina aimed for the right timing and swiftly threw a kick at Wyatt's abdomen once more!

He cried out in pain. Then, he stumbled backward continuously and hit the wall hard.

After getting kicked by Laina twice, Wyatt felt pain all over his body.

Laina smirked. However, right when she was feeling smug, Wyatt threw a few more darts out.

He was an eternal grandmaster, after all. He was not here to simply pass the time. When Laina saw

this, she panicked.

She had just found her footing, so to dodge the sneak attack was close to impossible.

When Aria and Tom saw this, they were startled. They wanted to help, but they could not move.

"Captain! Watch out!" Aria shouted loudly.

At the critical moment, Laina's body leaned backward, and her palms pressed to the ground.

Her entire body formed an arch, like a bridge.

The flying darts gilded past Laina's chest, barely missing her by an inch!

"They're all traditional martial artists. You must be extra vigilant!" Tom reminded.

After the scuffle earlier, he had an inkling that these two were no ordinary men!

Laina and Cynthia were not surprised to hear this. After all, they were both martial artists as well!

The sound of the commotion in the ward attracted the attention of many people.

Some soldiers outside the hospital had already rushed over.

When Wyatt and Lanson heard rapid footsteps outside, they knew that their plan might fall through. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

At first, they thought that their mission would be accomplished quickly.

Who knew that they would encounter such strong opponents?

Wyatt no longer had any intention to continue fighting.

He ran into the window, shattered it, and then escaped by jumping out!

If they continued fighting, they might not be able to get away.

When Lanson saw Wyatt escape, he followed suit and made his escape as well.

At that moment, many doctors and nurses, as well as a few soldiers, had arrived.

"What happened, Captain Laina?" an armored soldier asked.

"There was an assassination attempt!" Laina said.

"What? Where are they?" the armored soldier asked.

"They've escaped. Don't just stand there! Let's chase after them" Laina said before jumping out of the

window.

The armored soldiers followed suit and ran after the assailants.

When Wyatt and Lanson had just escaped outside, they saw many soldiers surrounding them.

Caspian had stationed these armored soldiers here. For the time being, they were in charge of the

security here.

There had been warfare at Southlake Hospital before. Caspian did this to reassure the people in the

hospital.

"They're the assassins! Hurry! Catch them!" Laina shouted as she ran toward them.

When the soldiers heard Laina's words, they immediately raised their guns and aimed at Lanson and

Wyatt.

The two men were planning to escape the place as quickly as they could.

They were planning to jump into the area behind the green belt and then make their escape.

"Shoot them immediately!" Laina ordered immediately after seeing the two people running away very

quickly.

Just as the two men were running away at full speed, several gunshots were heard.

The soldiers did not stop. They continued opening fire.

For a moment, a hail of bullets flew toward Lanson and Wyatt.

Even though they were both eternal grandmasters, they had no power to fight back when faced with so

many bullets.

Both of them were hit by the bullets!

Eventually, both the men collapsed to the ground.

Blood poured out like a stream.

When Laina saw the two men collapse onto the ground, she ran over quickly.

They had already died.

"Hurry and find out who they are! Check if there's anything that can prove their identity!" Laina said.

"Yes!"

Several soldiers frisked the bodies of Wyatt and Lanson but found nothing on them.

Laina turned around to leave. She went back to the ward.

"Captain, did you capture them?" Aria asked.

"They've been killed!" Laina answered.

"That was a close call!" Aria let out a long sigh of relief.

"Tom, it seemed like they were coming for you," Laina interrogated.

She had observed earlier that the two men had targeted Tom as soon as they entered the ward.

"I've no idea what's going on," Tom said, spreading his arms.

"Why did you say that they were martial artists, then? You'd better spill it now. Are you hiding anything

from us?

"Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you if something like this were to happen again," Laina said

aggressively.

Tom knew he could not hide it anymore. If he did not say anything, Laina would probably go mad.

"Four months ago, a group of martial artists murdered my family. In the end, I was the only one who

escaped. I managed to recognize one of them earlier," Tom explained concisely and clearly.

When Laina and Aria heard Tom's words, they were beyond shocked.

They did not expect Tom to have such a past.

"Why would those martial artists want to target you?" Laina asked in confusion.

Tom recounted everything that had happened before.

After listening to Tom's words, Aria suddenly pieced it together. She understood now why Tom refused

to share anything when she questioned him earlier.

Now that they had this information, they could even find out the reason behind Tom's strength.

"You mentioned a 'Skyarch Palace' earlier. May I know what kind of organization it is?" Laina asked.

"I'm not sure what it is they do, but one thing is for sure—there are many experts in Skyarch Palace!

Many martial artists have joined them," Tom said.

"Why didn't Greenton join Skyarch Palace?" Laina asked again.

"I'm not sure what actually happened. It was a discussion between them and my father. One thing's for

sure, Skyarch Palace is definitely doing something shady.

"That's why my father refused to be associated with them. In the end, he was brutally murdered!" Tom

said.

"How inhumane that they would indiscriminately kill innocent people! Where's this Skyarch Palace

located at? I'm bringing my men to have them obliterated!" Laina fumed.

"I don't know. They're very mysterious. Nobody knows their exact location!" Tom said.

"But Skyarch Palace must be plotting something. Otherwise, why would they silence my father by

killing him? It's too counterintuitive.

"It just means that no one outside the organization can know about their plan. Anyone who doesn't

agree to join them will probably be killed!" Tom explained.

"Skyarch Palace, huh? I'll commit it to memory. I'll definitely find out where they're at!" Laina said with

determination.

"They're basically untraceable. How are you going to dig up on them?" Tom asked.

"Who said they're untraceable? They came to assassinate you. That's the clue.

"Since their operation has failed, they'll definitely have a second attempt. When the time comes, we'll

capture them alive, interrogate them, and find everything out!" Laina said.

"Ms. Barnes, are you trying to use me as bait?" Tom asked, surprised.
