Now, things went haywire.
One ought to know that Lush Cosmeticsâ security guards all used to work for Holly Yates specifically in
the underworld. Now, Holly was hired by Alex Rockefeller, and she was responsible for the safety of
Brittany Rockefeller and the rest. Meanwhile, the security force of the company was handed over to a
few capable subordinates. The remaining talents were selected to work in Lush Cosmeticsâ factory.
After the security guard fell to the ground and spurted blood out, he immediately got up and shouted.
âEnemies have barged in. Brothers, gather together!â
The security guards in the company came rushing out. Some were holding iron rods while others held
knives. There were at least thirty of them in total.
The two Leviathan Gate experts in the pickup truck were a little dumbfounded. Their names were
Carlos Jung and Max Dunne.
At first, they were in Michigan to look for Guardian Darren Vaudou from Leviathan Gate. In the end,
they couldnât find Darren, but they received a message from Seamus Owen to come to this factory and
capture the female boss here.
Based on their status in Leviathan Gate, they had no interest in running minor errands like this.
It made them look bad.
The problem was that Seamusâ status was even more respectable than them. Seamus was the
personal disciple of the head of Leviathan Gate, and he might become the future head. Thus, Carlos
and Max didnât have a choice but to come over.
However, Seamus informed them that Lush Cosmetics was a very well off company, and its boss was
filthy rich. It was nothing
out of the ordinary for them to make one to two billion dollars.
As long as they had the ability to get the money, Seamus didnât care. Hence, the two of them thought of
it as a trip to earn money.
Little did they know, the security guards in this tiny, run-down factory were extremely ferocious.
Judging by their looks, they seemed nothing like a factoryâs security guards. They were more like
gangsters on the streets who would pull their knives out to fight as soon as there was a disagreement.
âI didnât expect the people here to be so interesting. Ever since weâve been out, I havenât had the
chance to loosen my muscles. Iâll think of this as a day of exercise. Donât help me out later. Itâll be fun to
fight against thirty of them on my own,â Carlos said.
The two of them opened their car doors on both sides and got out. However, right then, another group
of people charged out from the factory.
Each of them was holding a weapon. Two-thirds of them were holding long knives that could be used to
cut cakes as well as people.
There were up to sixty of these men. This was a little intimidating.
Max turned to look at Carlos with his eyes wide open. âCarlos, what does Lush Cosmetics do again? I
donât remember them being in the knife-making business.â
âItâs a cosmetics factory.â
âDo cosmetics factories need knives?â
âProbably not, right?â
âThen why do they have so many knives?â
âFor cutting watermelons, perhaps? Oh, screw it. I donât care how many knives they have. Theyâre all
grown-up babies in front of me. Watch as I destroy them all with my bare hands.â Carlos was extremely
excited.
He saw a girl with long and straight black hair standing in the first row. She also looked very pretty as
she lazily held a kitchen knife.
âEveryone else is using a proper knife, but youâre using a kitchen knife. That makes you the most
special. Alright, itâs going to be you then! â Carlos activated his immense inner force and blasted away
all the security guards who dived at him.
Carlos was one of Leviathan Gateâs Eight Great Banner Wielders. His martial arts cultivation wasnât
weak, and he was at Intermediate-Mystic rank. He was one step away from reaching the Advanced
rank. Wouldnât beating a few security guards be a piece of cake?
After that, he would easily snatch the kitchen knife away from the little girl.
âWith the kitchen knife in my hand, Iâll dominate the world. A legend about a man who defeated
everyone in the world with a kitchen knife would start with me!â Carlos thought.
Just as Carlos was lost in his thoughts with a smile on his face, the pretty girl in front of him suddenly
raised her kitchen knife and slashed at him.
âHey, youâre quite brave. Even at such a young age, you actually dare slash another person!â Carlos
reached out and was prepared to snatch the kitchen knife away. However, in the next second, his gaze
turned cold. Carlos was stunned for a moment. At first, he thought he would be able to grab the kitchen
knife. But it suddenly moved so fast that Carlos couldnât even see it moving. By the time he realized
something was amiss, he could feel a coldness and lightness in his palm.
A thumb flew into the air.
âWas that⦠My thumb?â Carlos was dumbfounded.
Right after that, he saw a flurry of movements in front of him. The young girl moved her kitchen knife
around, and four more fingers flew into the air.
âTheyâre mine! Theyâre all mine!â Carlos was stunned.
His eyes were wide open with disbelief.
