He Chenguang dodged Lordson's wild swings with fluid, serpentine movements. Seizing a gap in the defense, he grabbed Lordson’s wrist and twisted hard. Lordson let out a pained shriek, dropping the document he had been clutching—the one suspected to be crucial intelligence. Unwilling to yield, Lordson lashed out with his other fist, aiming for He Chenguang’s face. He Chenguang tilted his head, the fist whistling past his cheek. He Chenguang followed up immediately, driving a knee into Lordson’s stomach, causing the man to double over in agony.
Despite the pain, Lordson was an experienced operative of the Shadow Fang organization. After a brief moment of recovery, he jerked his head up, his eyes bloodshot, and rammed his forehead into the bridge of He Chenguang’s nose like an enraged beast. Feeling the sudden force, He Chenguang instinctively leaned back, then threw his arms around Lordson’s head and slammed him to the floor.
As they grappled, Wang Luoran and Liang Song quickly joined the fray. Wang Luoran moved with the grace of a swallow, lunging toward Lordson. She kicked at his legs as he tried to scramble up; he cried out in pain and collapsed again. Liang Song circled behind, pinning Lordson’s other arm to prevent further resistance.
