He's dead!
Jasper was actually dead!
Everyone stared in shock at the corpse on the ground and at Karl, who was gasping for breath nearby.
The Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's vice president, renowned for many years, the illustrious Jasper—had he truly just been slain?
And the one who killed him was the little-known Karl!
Lula was equally astonished.
Her plan had been for Karl to temporarily hold off Jasper while she and Audis worked together to quickly take down Hook-Claw.
Then, the three of them would join forces to deal with Jasper.
Unexpectedly, before she and Audis had even succeeded, Karl had already killed Jasper.
SWOOSH!
Seizing the moment Lula and Audis were slowed by shock, Hook-Claw Bartley suddenly shook his chain. His hook shot out, catching a distant roof ridge. He used the leverage to fly off, vanishing into the vast night after a few bounds.
Even Jasper was dead. Bartley's strength was relatively weaker; if he didn't flee, his fate was predictable.
