As expected, a stealthy assassin appeared beside him, thrusting a pitch-black dagger towards his lower back.
If anyone wanted to kill this Young Master Kane, they had only this one chance.
Leonard Churchill did not hesitate, he released the scalpel in his hand aiming it towards Kane's neck.
Though Kane appeared to be shielded by a layer of golden light, Leonard's face turned grim, he mentally directed the scalpel to stab down mercilessly.
At the same time, he skillfully evaded the attack from the assassin beside him.
But just as the scalpel was about to pierce Kane's neck, there was a "clang" sound, like the shattering of an eggshell, and the scalpel was flung away.
"There's another layer?"
When Leonard saw this, there was a feeling of regret in his heart.
He also realized that there would be no second chance to strike.
Using the inertia, he rushed past Young Master Kane, catching the scalpel and adding some distance between them.
