In a fit of rage and humiliation, Everett had brought Matthew to Giles, but Matthew ended up killing Giles on the spot. Everything Everett did became laughable.

"You're digging your own grave, Matthew. You're done for."

At the office, Matthew was worried about scaring Emily and spooking the researchers. With nothing holding him back now, his tone shifted entirely. "Are you planning to kill me?"

Upon seeing Matthew's attitude, Everett knew Matthew underestimated his competence and coldly said, "You don't believe it? Let me clue you in. We're the strongest combatants around. Nothing can stand in front of us, and we can take out just anyone." Matthew shook his head. "Don't get too full of yourself."

Everett took his time wielding his steel pipe. "You're about to bite the dust, so I want you to get this straight. We're proud soldiers, and we remain undefeated in this modern age. Do you still think we're just cocky?" Soldier? Matthew scoffed.

"You're the biggest insult to that word-soldier. Soldiers are honorable and revered because they shed blood and gave their lives to fight off enemies. They fought for our country, our family, and our people. Have you ever seen a soldier turning against their people?" Everett's face turned red. Clenching his teeth, he couldn't come up with anything to retort Matthew with.

He was used to his identity as a soldier, but he was no longer with the military on this mission. At this moment, he was just another regular person. His most prized military uniform wasn't part of him anymore.

Matthew coldly remarked, "You're just the Wood family's hired thug and their goon. You've no right to even mention you're a soldier."

Everett's expression contorted in anger. He clenched his teeth and fixed his gaze on Matthew. "No matter what you say about me, my mission is to eliminate you.noveldrama

"You're dead meat today. After taking you out, I'll kill all your family. This is the price you have to pay for offending the Wood family."

Did Everett just threaten Matthew's family? Upon hearing that, Matthew's rage erupted like a volcano.

Despite being cuffed, he balled his hands tightly into fists. His bloodshot eyes exuded a thick murderous intent as he stared at Everett as if watching Everett's last moment. Everett waved his hand and motioned to ten people next to him. They picked up some steel pipes and moved in on Matthew.

Mekhi Armstrong, the biggest guy leading the group was about six feet tall. He had shoulders as broad as an adult's thigh and hulking chest muscles.

He wielded the steel pipe with ease. When he got close to Matthew, he took a swing with the steel pipe and aimed for Matthew's head.

The pipe whizzed through the air and made a screeching noise that was painful to listen to. Matthew took a step back, and the steel pipe narrowly missed his forehead. After his first attack had missed, Mekhi went into full beast mode. He lunged at Matthew again and swung the pipe at the other side of Matthew's face.

The onlookers saw this and shook their heads. Everyone knew Mekhi didn't get his title as "the Beast" from his physique, but from fighting like a savage beast. Matthew did get away from the first hit, but then a series of brutal attacks would come after that. Things were getting even more dangerous for him. Everett crossed his arms and watched the action unfold. When Mekhi attacked, Matthew wouldn't just end up injured. He'd be dead before he even knew it.

Mekhi pounced on Matthew when a bang could be heard. Despite his imposing physique, he was sent flying over three meters away upon impact Then, he came crashing down, causing the floor to shake.

Everyone gaped in shock at what had just happened. How did this happen? With a weapon, Mekhi had the upper hand and was on the offensive. Why did it suddenly turn out like this? Everett was so surprised that his jaw dropped. How did Mekhi go down so fast? Even for Everett, it usually took some serious work to subdue him.

Everett walked up to Mekhi's body.

As he crouched to inspect the injury,

he noticed that Mekhi's chest was sunken in. Mekhi had broken ribs poking through his clothes and a bloody fracture.

Everett couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. Just one strike and Mekhi was done for. He had no chance of surviving.

Everett raised his head and warily

eyed Matthew. "That was brutal! Taking Mekhi's life in a single blow You're quite something, but you're not getting out of this. Any one of us could kill you with just one hit."

Matthew stayed quiet and picked up the steel pipe on the floor. As he swung it around for a bit, he could tell it was a bit light. Still, it was better than fighting with bare hands.
