His number one assassin, Scarface, let out a smug glance as he strode over towards Nathan Cross.
"Young man, you should know better than to cross Lightning. We've even prepared coffins for you! You shall lay in it under my hands!"
Scarface was one of the best fighters under Lightning. He had more than ten lives on his hands and with just a command from Lightning, he dived towards Nathan.
Swoosh!
Just as he neared Nathan, he raised his leg and sent a kick in the direction of Nathan's head. It was obvious that he wanted to kill him there and then.
He attacked with such great speed and force that one might have even heard the swiftness of his movements.
All his men instinctively cheered for him, "Cool!"
"Good kick!"
"Nice one! Get him!"
Just at this moment, Nathan snorted loudly and sent a flying kick. He moved much faster than Scarface and his attack looked to be of great strength.
He extended his legs and kicked Scarface right in his knees.
The latter's kneecaps cracked and his leg was broken by Nathan.
Now, it seemed as though the men were cheering for Nathan instead, rather than for Scarface.
"Ahh!"
A blood-curling scream could be heard from Scarface as Nathan sent a second kick towards his head.
Instantly, Scarface lost his life. His body flew out and landed right on top of one of the coffins, motionless.
All of Lightning's men widened their eyes with their jaws dropped. Some looked at Nathan in disbelief, as they could not believe that Scarface was killed by Nathan within a split second!
Thomas looked at Nathan in a proud manner. This was the man he had regarded as a god!
Meanwhile, Jack and his men were also astonished at Nathan's prowess, even though this was not the first time they had seen him fight.
He was so quick and forceful that it was a speedy kill.
