Chapter 683:
The man, puffed up with overconfidence, sneered at the sight of the small cat. “She’s so arrogant! She’s still playing with a pet at a time like this? She’s practically digging her own grave,” he thought smugly. But his smugness was short-lived. In an instant, his world turned chaotic. Aus lunged with the precision of a warrior, claws extended, and latched onto his face.
“Ahhh p>
The man screamed as sharp claws raked across his skin. Blind and panicked, he flailed wildly, trying to grab the elusive feline.
The more he struggled, the worse it became. With his eyes covered and his balance lost, he staggered backward, crashing through the classroom door.
Yelena’s instincts kicked in. She rushed forward and delivered a swift, powerful kick to the man’s midsection, sending him sprawling before he could threaten the girls inside.
Inside the classroom, Bernice pressed a trembling hand to her chest, her heart racing like a runaway train. Thoughts swirled in her mind.
“Can Yelena really handle them alone? What if she can’t? Should I make a run for it? But if I leave her behind, will our family blame me?” The sharp, violent sounds of fists meeting flesh then echoed from outside, cutting through Bernice’s thoughts like a knife.
Even though she was hidden, each brutal thud made her squeeze her eyes shut, fear gripping her tightly.
Then, the noise of the fight abruptly ceased. The eerie silence that followed made her stomach twist with dread. A sudden crash jolted her, and before she could process what was happening, a figure came hurtling through the door, landing in a heap on the floor.
Bernice screamed, her voice high and trembling, her eyes still firmly shut. She didn’t dare open them—afraid of what she might see. But oddly, no further sound followed. The silence stretched on, heavy and strange.
Tentatively, Bernice cracked one eye open and looked toward the figure sprawled on the ground.

Her gaze immediately landed on Yelena’s cat, who sat triumphantly atop the man. To her utter horror—and disbelief—the little creature was relieving itself directly into the man’s open mouth.
A soft, mortified “Ew” escaped her lips, followed by an incredulous, “Oh gross. That’s nasty p>
Aus turned to look at her, his expression almost indignant, as though saying, “This is the thanks I get for saving you p>
Despite herself, Bernice couldn’t hold back a laugh. It started as a small chuckle but quickly grew into uncontrollable laughter. The absurdity of the moment shattered the tension, leaving her clutching her sides as tears of amusement streamed down her face.
Bernice then heard the sounds of a fight erupting outside the classroom again. Her smile instantly vanished, replaced by a nervous pounding in her chest. She anxiously wondered what she would do if Yelena couldn’t handle the men.
Luckily, the fight ended swiftly.
Bernice cautiously peeked out and saw Yelena standing tall, on a man’s chest, effortlessly holding him by the collar. The man was forced to meet her gaze, and Yelena looked every bit the fierce woman she was.
Bemice watched in stunned silence, feeling a shift inside her that she couldn’t fully comprehend.
“Where are the others? Where did they go?” Yelena’s voice was sharp as her eyes pierced through the man.
The man gulped and stammered, “They… they seemed to go up the mountain p>
Yelena’s gaze grew cold, and she replied sharply, “Repeat that. Get your words straight p>
