Talon turned to face Barton's bodyguards; they advanced quickly, and one of them already threw a punch toward him. However, Talon was swift enough to dodge. His body reflexively moved backward, and with his hands braced on the floor, his legs swept the attacking guard off his feet.
Springing up, Talon swung a kick that landed squarely on the second bodyguard's face, sending him reeling backward. His training in acrobatics made him exceptionally agile, and his martial arts skills provided a perfect self-defense mechanism.
Barton swallowed hard, shocked at Talon's combat prowess. What irritated Barton even more was that the bodyguards in the room were not the best he had; he did not want to risk further confrontation at this moment.
Talon's attention turned to the other two bodyguards, who now stepped back cautiously, realizing they were not dealing with an ordinary opponent.
