Chapter 147: Crushing Defeat

With Connor charging at him from the right, Achara unleashing a flurry of punches his way from the left and Sam attempting to kick him to the head from behind, Xavier was stuck between a rock and a hard place. No matter which direction he attempted to evade, he'd still be within range of their attacks, or so it seemed initially.
