The Protector III

526

Lauren froze in her tracks and Lee Jung-jin started to tremble in fear.

Crash!

The figure landed heavily, with a thud, making the ground shake as though an earthquake had just occurred.

Choi Hong-man's body spasmed, as he frothed at the mouth, spewing out a mixture of blood and teeth all over his face.

"W-what in the world is going on?" Lauren stammered.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Did a person just fly out?" Lee Jung-jin asked perplexedly, seeming as though he had been utterly confused.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Lauren exclaimed, setting off into a run.

"Yeah! Maybe it's Levi!" Lee Jung-jin added.

Soon, they arrived at the spot where the person had landed, only to see Choi Hong-man having a seizure on the ground.

"What?" they exclaimed in unison. "Choi...Hong-man? Why are you here? Where is Levi Garrison?"

The two of them stared at Choi Hong-man, dumbfounded.

This is outrageous!

After a while, Choi Hong-man stopped moving completely. It was almost as though his soul had left his body.

Why would a champion fighter get thrown out of his arena so easily?

How did he end up on the first floor?

How is this even possible?

"T-T-This..." Lee Jung-jin was at a loss for words.

He would never be able to forget the scene that he had just witnessed.

As a Keerean, he knew just how strong Choi Hong-man was.

To Keereans, Choi Hong-man was an undefeatable force, with rumors stating that his body was immune to all types of weapons.

Once, he had managed to wipe out an entire cult, despite being shot in the chest seven times.

The bullets had merely pierced through his skin, leaving both his organs and bones unharmed.

His body was impenetrable!

What in the world happened just now?

This is unbelievable!

"What are you waiting for? Send him to the hospital!" Lee Jung-jin screeched.

"I'm going to find Levi Garrison!" Lauren yelled back, as she bounded up the stairs.

To her horror, there was no one in the meeting room.

Levi was long gone!

"I'm certain that someone from Morris Group had swooped in to save him!" Lauren muttered to herself in anguish. "Who could be stronger than Choi Hong-man?"

Meanwhile, in South City, Park Cheon-shin received a call from his nephew Lee Jung-jin.

"Huh? What happened?" Park Cheon-shin exclaimed, dumbfounded.

"Levi Garrison beat Choi Hong-man up... He's in the hospital now, and we don't know if he'll survive..." Lee Jung-jin stammered nervously.

Park Cheon-shin's phone fell to the ground with a loud thud, as he stared off into the distance, with a shocked look upon his face.

"What's wrong? Were you actually convinced that Choi Hong-man was undefeatable?" Lee Jae-shik asked calmly as he sipped on his tea.

Park Cheon-shin glanced at him in disbelief. "Did you see this coming, Master?"

"Of course I did!" Lee Jae-shik answered. "Even a random security guard from Morris Group can defeat Lee Da-yong and Lee Da-jong. What makes you think that Choi Hong-man is any stronger?"

"Are you sure, Master?" Park Cheon-shin asked.

"Haha! Only strong ones are worthy of my attention! It'll be pretty disappointing if Choi Hong-man had wiped him out with one strike," Lee Jae-shik announced, smiling.

Park Cheon-shin grinned as well. "I should ask them about the negotiations!"

Taking out his phone, he soon began to dial a string of numbers.
