Chapter 654: Collective Crusade_1

Driven by her instinct for danger, Yan Ling turned to escape.

But the man was clearly quicker and not only blocked her path but also forced her to retreat several steps.

Yan Ling was startled by his momentum, causing her to lose balance and hit her back hard against the edge of the table.

"Clank!"

Some dishes fell to the floor, making a loud noise.

Yan Ling felt a sharp pain in her back, but before she could mourn her injury, she saw the man extending his hand towards her.

Was he planning to hit her?

In a reflex, she raised her arm to protect herself from his attack.

But her defensive action stung his heart.

His hand, which had been stretched out to help her, instantly clenched into a fist, making a cracking noise as his bones rubbed together.

Was he really such a brute who thought with his fists to her?

"Bang!" His fist finally slammed on the table.

In the Dark Empire's conference room, a group was fiercely criticizing her.
