Charlotte Lane was used to working from the inside out, and thatâs how sheâd done it all these years.
However, working from the inside out isnât always a pattern, but a method, and it can be used in hundreds of different ways.
Dark Radiance being intercepted on land was within her calculations.
So, Dark Radiance took to the air.
And they timed their departure, just needing to stall for a little while after they arrived for everything to be successful.
Besides, there was also Hundred Demons Pavilion on the other side.
Charlotte Lane contacted Luke before Dark Radiance set off.
Hundred Demons Pavilion was farther away, so when Charlotte Lane set off from Dark Radiance, Hundred Demons Pavilion had already left.
There were too many forces attacking from the outskirts, and their firepower was too fierce, so Liam Davis and the Housemaster had to allocate most of their forces to the periphery for defense.
And the number of people from Platinum Burke Family in the Reception Room was getting fewer and fewer.
It was precisely because of this that Liam Davis could so clearly feel Charlotte Laneâs terrifying combat power.
When Liam Davis saw the inner area was about to be lost and was considering retreating with the Housemaster.
Alice Eugene came with her people.
Liam Davis and the Housemaster immediately felt relieved.
The Platinum Burke family was just a quickly rising family after encountering a suitable opportunity after the Thousand Mountains Alliance was wiped out.
In fact, their martial power from top to bottom wasnât very good.
The Housemaster inherited his fatherâs position and relied completely on the protection of those around him.
Liam Davis was a late-comer half-learner, and when he went out, a group of bodyguards followed him.
And these bodyguardsâ skills were far inferior compared to Dark Radiance.
If they wanted to win, they could only rely on numbers and attrition.
When the people were drawn away, it was clearly impossible.
But Alice Eugeneâs people were different. They were all carefully selected and trained.
They could completely fight against the people from Dark Radiance. Whatâs more, Dark Radianceâs people had already fought a round.
The two sides clashed, Alice Eugene directly went towards Charlotte Lane.
She swung her fist from behind, and Charlotte Lane immediately dodged it. Then she turned to look at her.
There was no cover on Aliceâs face today, she looked at Charlotte Lane with an evil smile on her exposed face, and then said slyly, âEnigma Starry, long time no see.â
Charlotte Laneâs body was shrouded in murderous intent, and when she saw her, it didnât change at all, but her heart still sank a little.
The person behind the Platinum Burke family was Edward Kirsten.
So⦠the disappearance of Arthur North was also Edward Kirstenâs doing.
âWhat? You donât recognize me?â Alice Eugene had a sinister smile on her face.
Charlotte Lane lowered her eyes and wiped the blood on her dagger with her sleeve directly: âYou really are haunting. Youâre everywhere.â
âWhy do you think that is?â Alice Eugene laughed like a madman, âOf course, itâs because of you.â
Charlotte Lane didnât pick up on her words.
But Alice Eugene said on her own: âJoining this family, attacking Ryan Easton, and killing Arthur North⦠all of this was because of you. All these plans were born because of you. Enigma Starry⦠youâre just a bringer of bad luck. Whoever meets you will be in trouble.â
William Lane saw the two confront each other and quickly joined Charlotte Lane, helping her clear the area around her.
Charlotte Laneâs eyelashes flickered gently, and then she asked, âDid Edward Kirsten send you?â
âHenry Kirsten told me to bring you back.â Alice Eugene looked at her, and after she said this, the smile on her lips suddenly disappeared, and her face became even more sinister, âBut⦠I just want you to die here. If you die, Henry will have no concerns, and he wonât make one wrong judgment after another because of you.â
âYou really think too highly of Edward Kirsten. When has he ever made a correct decision?â Charlotte Lane said coldly.
âEnigma Starry!â Alice Eugene yelled at her, âYou really have no conscience, you really deserve to die!â
âSo do you.â
âCharlotte, donât waste your time with her.â Roy Madison said.
Upon hearing Roy Madisonâs voice, Charlotte Lane immediately moved forward and engaged with Alice Eugene.
Both of them were ruthless in their moves, aiming for each otherâs lives without holding back.
Charlotte Lane had not gotten along with Alice Eugene for a long time in the past. After discovering Edward Kirstenâs actions, she was disgusted with his deeds, and Alice Eugene deliberately did those unscrupulous things in front of her.
Deliberately telling her what she did those days and other things.
She couldnât beat her in the past nor could she kill her.
But now itâs different.
So every move was aimed at taking her life.
And Alice⦠She used to listen to Edward completely, and even loved and protected those Edward wanted to protect.
But now⦠Sheâd rather kill Enigma Starry and apologize with her death than let Edward have a weakness thatâs constantly opposing him.
At first, the fight between the two was fierce.
Gradually, both of them affected the surrounding people and things.
Their duel could be described as a house-destroying battle.
Alice dodged the attack without hesitation, and quickly stabbed her dagger toward Charlotte Laneâs neck.
Charlotteâs reaction was swift, immediately dodging.
The tip of the dagger grazed her neck, leaving a shallow red mark.
As Charlotte retreated, she grabbed the table behind her, pushed her body with force, and kicked Aliceâs chest.
She kicked her down, smashing a chair on the other side.
But Alice didnât hesitate for a second, got up immediately, and the two quickly engaged in a fight again.
The two fought together, not pulling out their guns. Anyone could tell that there was some personal grudges involved. A single bullet wouldnât settle their grievances.
As they fought, they also dealt with the surrounding people.
However, Dark Radianceâs people were not many, and they had been engaged in a prolonged battle with the Platinum Burke Family. Now that they encountered Aliceâs people, Dark Radiance gradually became disadvantaged over time.
William Lane never dared to stray too far from Charlotte, fearing someone nearby would harm her.
Aliceâs skills had vastly improved since their last encounter at Red Cliff Village, making her a difficult opponent.
But Charlotte still managed to defeat her, utilizing a combination of punches, dodges, elbow strikes, knee lifts, flying knees, and lateral kicks.
Charlotteâs attacks were fast and powerful, kicking Alice away.
Alice crashed into several people.
Once she fell, she couldnât get up immediately.
Her people helped her up.
After a while, Alice recovered, pulled her gun, and aimed.
Charlotte, who was dealing with the people around her, caught a glimpse of Alice drawing her gun, then saved her last bullet for Alice.
She dodged to the side and fired a shot.
Because Alice also dodged, the bullet hit her left shoulder.
The force of the impact caused Alice to stagger back a few steps, held up by someone.
She held her injured shoulder, staring at Charlotte through the crowds of fighting people.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, but her first reaction after being injured was to leave.
If she killed Enigma Starry, she would have no qualms about losing her life.
But if she couldnât kill her, then sacrificing her life wouldnât be worth it.
So she let her people help her retreat, step by step.
Charlotte spotted her intentions and immediately pursued her.
But the surrounding people blocked her way, intent on covering Aliceâs retreat.
William Lane also moved towards her to assist her in breaking through.
However, he was quickly surrounded, unable to reach Charlotte.
Charlotte dealt with the people surrounding her while watching Alice move farther away.
As she was being trapped, she heard a loud noise in the reception room on her right.
The side gate of the reception room was knocked open.
A white flash jumped in.
While everyone was stunned, the white flash quickly approached Charlotte, pinning down one of the people beside her.
Silver Palace!
Upon seeing it, Charlotte felt numb for a moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then she immediately looked towards the side gate.
Through the crowd, she spotted Kevin Clark with his gun, coming overâ¦
