Chapter 1180: Chapter 117
In fact, this was indeed the case in their understanding.
Demons and monsters did not exist at all.
Cultivators were also fictional characters from movies and novels.
But now, the most real scene was right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe!
At the same time, Jessica Wright’s expression also became much more serious.
Facing the Heavenly Thunder Palm that dove down with immense force, she held her katana horizontally above her head to block it.
“Boom…”
When the katana made contact with the palm wrapped in inner ‘Qi’, Jessica Wright only felt her arm go numb, as if her body had been electrified.
Her pretty face was covered with an expression of pain.
The explosion was still ongoing!
Anthony Carter, who had chosen to take the brunt of the katana’s sharpness, was not in a better condition. Even with inner ‘Qi’ protecting his palm, he still received a deep cut, from which blood flowed profusely!
After their contact, the floor tiles beneath Jessica Wright’s feet cracked inch by inch, the affected area spreading at least ten meters.
The most severe thing was that Jessica Wright, hit by the powerful impact, had her ankles submerged in the concrete.
She could feel the blood in her body churning nonstop, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, spraying several meters.
Her complexion also turned as pale as paper!
“Rumble…”
Anthony Carter, who was also injured, was not in any better condition, his body slamming into the ground ten meters away.
The hard ground was smashed into a deep ravine, with the impression of a human form.
“Cough cough…”
Anthony Carter clutched his chest and struggled to stand up, but this caused his blood to flow in reverse, prompting him to spit out mouthful of blood, while the wound on his hand gaped like a wide-open mouth.
Clearly, in this battle, neither side had gained any advantage, and both were badly injured!
Separated by over ten meters, both were filled with guarded expressions in their eyes and dared not to act rashly again.
Instead, they chose to observe the changes and regulate the turbulent blood within their bodies.
“Ding dong…”
Soon, Ellie Will’s phone received a message, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
With the intervention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Wright Company had also agreed to recall Jessica Wright. Of course, in this process, the Eastern Alliance had offered substantial benefits.
Following the resolution of the crisis in the pyramid, Wright Company naturally did not want to continue stationing people there.
Of course, the most crucial point was that the head of the family, Wesley Wright, Jessica Wright’s father, was also not having an easy time because, after his nephew Ichiro Wright’s death in the pyramid, his brother began plotting a series of schemes to seize power.
If it were only Wright Taro alone, he would not be much of a threat, but Wright Taro, in order to oppose him and gain actual control of the company, had formed some sort of cooperation with the Yamaguchi-gumi, the strongest in the East Mainland.
Wesley Wright, facing internal and external threats, naturally hoped that his daughter, Jessica Wright, a skilled warrior, could bring Lucas back to the Eastern Alliance to help him stabilize his hold on power, clear out the internal traitors, and then deal with the Yamaguchi-gumi.
“Exhilarating!”
“Truly exhilarating!”
“Clap clap clap…”
Ellie Will applauded and stepped forward with a smile, saying, “Miss Jessica Wright, we meet again!”
After reading the text message, Ellie Will, in order to prevent the two sides from fighting again, naturally stepped forward immediately.
The reason was simple: Jessica Wright’s identity was too special, so she could not be harmed in any way, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Wright Company.
And Anthony Carter was the partner she had set her sights on for upcoming collaborations.
Since he bore a grudge against Oliver Walker and also had strength, he was naturally the best choice for a partner.
“You didn’t come just to take pleasure in my misfortune, did you?”
Jessica Wright had a bad premonition in her heart.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was directly sending someone now?
And it was the S-rank modified human Ellie Will, a person of considerable authority. This woman was a trusted confidant of FBI Director Pinn, a real confidant in every sense!
This was going to be a big problem!
