NovelOnlineChapter 524 The Girl Who Knew Too Much 48 Pearls Xavier truly lived up to his title as the leader of Coldfang Mercenaries. His body twisted sharply as his claws met Tessa's strike, wolf force surging through him. Cracks splintered across the courtyard floor, dust flying into the air.
The two moved so fast it was almost impossible to follow. Claw against claw, arcs of Moonforce burst in every direction like miniature fireworks lighting up the yard.
Xavier was seasoned in battle, every move heavy and ferocious like a beast. But Tessa was faster. Even using only thirty percent of her wolf force, the latent power of her white wolf bloodline gave her a subtle edge.

Noticing how hard he was pushing himself, Tessa cased back slightly-not out of fear, but to spare his pride. She hadn't cto humiliate him. She just wanted a conversation.
His subordinates were dumbs The boss... is getting overpowered by a girl? "Enough!" Xavier growled, stepping back, panting. "I'm done." He hated to admit it, but continuing the fight would only end in defeat. The girl's speed and strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Clearly, she was hiding her true abilities. She was nothing like the weakling she appeared to be.
Avery... that kid wasn't exactly cut out for the mercenary world either. Sure, he'd awakened a high-grade wolf soul, but he'd never seen real combat, never had the heart for this life.
If Avery took over the Coldfang 1. c. ercenaries, he'd be eaten alive.
But with a girl like this by With her, maybe... maybe it could Tessa stepped back, complete Ork after all.
"Follow me." steady, as if the fight hadn't even happened. "Now, can we talk?" Xavier turned and led her into the study.
"What's "Tessa." s your name?" he asked, sti settling into his chair.
"You're that Tessa?" Xavier squinted at her, sizing her up. He'd heard the nfrom Avery-said she was his closest friend.

Us Pealt "I want you to let Avery keep doing music," Tessa said plainly. "He loves it. He's good at it. Forcing him back here to inherit the corps-he's miserable." "Avery cback on his own. I didn't force him. I gave him five years to do whatever he wanted. Now I'm old: Someone's got to take the reins," Xavier said, frowning.
"He's not suited for it." Tessa shook her head. "This life-mercenaries, violence, killing-it's not him. He's an artist. Not a blade-licking soldier." Xavier said nothing.
Of course he knew Avery wasn't right for this. But Coldfang Mercenaries was his life's work. What choice did he have?
"You've lived this life long enough to know how dangerous it is. Do you really want to throw Avery into that pit?" Tessa locked eyes with him, her voice unwavering. Xavier fell silent, a flicker of conflict crossing his gaze. As a father, of course he wanted his son safe.
