Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 243

"Greenridge Sword Array, subdue the enemy!" The mentees of Greenridge Syndicate shouted in unison.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed through the air, forming a dense net that descended toward Daniel. However, as soon as the sword net approached him, the sharp energy dissipated into nothingness.

"What?" Gerald's pupils contracted sharply. Then, he turned and fled without hesitation.

"It's a bit too late to try to escape now, don't you think?" Daniel said with a scoff, his gold gaze fixed on Gerald's retreating figure.

Hearing this, Gerald sped up even more. Then, he pulled out an emerald sword and slapped it against his chest. Daniel raised his hand, aiming it at Gerald from a distance.

Without even a second thought, Gerald crushed the emerald sword in his hand, but Daniel's attack had already arrived. A protective shield enveloped Gerald, but Daniel's energy pierced through it, striking his shoulder and sending him flying.

Gerald snapped his head around and said through gritted teeth, "Daniel Ashcroft, I'll make you pay for what you did to me today tenfold in the future!"

Daniel narrowed his eyes. "Even while running for your life, you're still so arrogant. Guess the only thing tough about you is your mouth!"

As he spoke, Daniel stomped his foot, and Gerald—who had been fleeing at full speed—suddenly froze in place.

"You—" Gerald slowly turned his head, but before he could say more, he exploded into a million pieces.

The head mentee of Greenridge Syndicate was dead, just like that.

Witnessing this scene, Zidane couldn't help but clench his fist in secret triumph. It worked! Daniel was clearly digging his own grave.

But Zidane seemed to have forgotten one thing—he was still here.

"You seem quite pleased with yourself." Daniel's voice rang out.

Zidane's expression changed slightly. He looked up sharply. "What nonsense are you spouting? Daniel, you're too arrogant for your own good!"

Slap!
