Chapter 354

Amid a fierce battle between two divine–

level masters, ordinary warriors would never stand a chance to approach t

hem.

While the battle was in full swing, Rufus, Gregory, and Albert were happi

ly drinking inside the medical clinic.

Used to such chaotic scenes, they naturally paid no mind to such minor sc

uffles.

On the other hand, Caitlyn, who was pouring them drinks, wasn't as calm a

s them. She anxiously peered through the doorway, her worries evident.

How could Maximus handle all the opponents alone?

"Only if Mr. Rhys was here." As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Ca

itlyn immediately shook her head.

No!

Those people were

here for Dustin. If Dustin were here, things would only get more dangerou

s!

"Kid, stop fretting over there. That lad will be fine for now. Bring us a

nother bottle of wine!" Gregory shouted.

"Alright. I'm coming…" Upon hearing his words, Caitlyn promptly retrieved

another bottle of wine

from the counter.

Observing the calm demeanor of the three men, she frowned and

curiously asked, "Mr. Jones, aren't you all worried at all? If those bad

guys were to barge in, you would be in danger!"

"What's there to worry about? Life's a cheap thing, and if we die, we die

," Gregory answered

casually.

"Gosh, don't be such a doomsayer!"

Caitlyn pouted and said solemnly, "Mr. Jones, you will live a long and he

althy life. Even if there's

danger, I will protect you!"

With that, she grabbed a mop nearby and acted like a bodyguard, vowing to

defend the medical

center. Her actions caused the three men to laugh in amusement.

"She's truly an interesting girl."

Rufus grinned. "Don't worry. None of us will die today."

"Really?" Caitlyn's eyes lit up.

"Of course. Do you think I would lie to you about such matters?" Rufus ch

uckled and pointed at

Albert. "See this old man here? He's a powerful guy. Dealing with

these minions is a piece of cake

for him."–

"Is that so?" Caitlyn sized Albert up. She seemed skeptical.

He was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, walking with a cane. H

ow could he withstand a fight? The wind could even blow him down!

1/3

After observing everyone, she realized she was the youngest and strongest

of the four of them.

Indeed, it seemed like the responsibility to protect them all would fall

on her shoulders. With this in mind, Caitlyn raised the mop again and sto

od guard at the entrance. Clearly, she didn't trust

these three oldies.

"Rufus, these minions are indeed nothing to fear. However, people have fo

und out about your arrival in Swinton. I guess Streuqua will not let this

opportunity slip by," Albert suddenly said, his

tone serious.

"Are you suggesting that someone will come to assassinate me?" Rufus rais

ed his glass and took a

sip.

"Yes." Albert nodded.

As the Prince of West Lucozia, Rufus stood like an invincible barrier. He

could single–handedly intimidate the Gods of Streuqua.

If Rufus encountered an assassination attempt, it would undoubtedly lead

to a border conflict.

In West Lucozia, there were numerous experts to protect him. No matter ho

w powerful Streuqua was, they would not find the slightest loophole. Howe

ver, the situation was different in Swinton.

Without the protection of the West Lucozia army and death warriors, it pr

esented a rare

opportunity for Streuqua to carry out an assassination attempt.

Therefore, Albert was sure there would be chaos in the coming days.

"Let them try all they want. It's not like it's the first time," Rufus sh

rugged, seemingly

unconcerned.

Even in West Lucozia, assassination attempts would occur every now and th

en. So, of course, it would happen in Swinton.

Outside the medical center, the duel between the two swordsmanship prodig

ies had reached a white–

hot stage. Both sides had sustained injuries, and it was difficult to det

ermine the victor.

Maximus' movements

were fast and accurate. He was particularly fierce and used ruthless. tec

hniques. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Maximus was superior to Keane.

However, Keane had higher cultivation and was in a more stable state. He

was closer to divinity.

Thus, their battle was neck–and–neck.

"When did this kid become so powerful?" Standing among the crowd, Luther

watched the two fight with a look of astonishment on his face.

Keane was a Divine–

level martial artist and a sword prodigy. Yet, he couldn't defeat Maximus

.

Did Maximus already reached divinity as well?

"Hmph! What a waste of time!" Meanwhile, Clement looked displeased as he

peered through the window of his car at the battle ahead.

He had thought that his second disciple could easily claim victory, but h

e hadn't expected him to be unable to handle a mere minion.

Seeing the deadlock persist, Clement flicked his wrist, and a chess piece

precisely struck

Maximus' knee. Maximus groaned and fell to his knees.

In that instant, Keane thrusted his sword at him!
