Chapter 1265
Serena moved like a phantom, closing the distance to the second man.
She locked her hand around his throat in a blur of motion, driving her knee up with devastating force.
A sickening crack echoed through the room. The sound of shattered bone.
The massive brute, weighing easily over two hundred pounds, crumpled as his ribs caved in. His face twisted in agony, and he collapsed before he could even scream. Her movements were fluid, every strike calculated and lethal.
Within moments, the equipment room was filled only with the dull thuds of bodies hitting the floor.
This was the exact scene Jerrick witnessed as he burst through the doorway.
He had been primed for a fight, ready to charge in and roar that anyone who dared touch a citizen of Elyndor was asking for a death wish.
He had planned to kick the door right off its hinges.
All to save their Elyndorian competitors.
But before his boot even made contact.
He saw the armed thugs scattered across the floor, completely neutralized.
In the center of the room, the girl casually dusted off her hands and slowly turned around.
Under the dim lighting, her stunningly radiant and fiercely unapologetic features came into sharp focus.
Jerrick stopped in his tracks, his gaze turning sharp.
Wasn’t this the same Elyndorian student who had single-handedly taken down over
a dozen Mutated Augments in the tech center’s underground parking garage just
last night, casually saving the entire Dragon-Thorn Squad in the process?
The very same girl who had effortlessly pinned him, the Special Forces King, to the concrete?
It was actually her.
Jerrick’s eyes drifted to the Elyndor delegation uniform she was wearing.
He thought back to the terrifying, ruthlessly efficient combat skills she had just displayed.
And Ambassador Sterling’s incredibly high praise of her.
The pieces clicked into place, and
Jerrick blurted out, “Don’t tell menet
you’re the. captain of the Elyndørian
team, Serena Lancaster p>
He already knew from last night’s encounter that this girl was insanely powerful.
Seeing her single-handedly wipe out
a room full of armed mercenaries in the backstage equipment room made that realization hit even harder
Adding to the rumors about the Elyndorian captain who had absolutely dominated
the opening ceremony p>
Everything made perfect sense now.
Hearing his voice, Serena arched a brow.
Her cool gaze landed on him.
The man standing in the doorway was easily over six feet tall, his broad shoulders taking up half the frame.
Yet, despite his intimidating stature, he was holding a delicate pink box containing an artisan strawberry petite cake.
The sheer contrast was almost comical.
She looked at him, her tone casual. “Looking for me p>
Jerrick froze for a second.
Then he shook his head, only to nod a moment later.
For a brief second, his usually hardened, razor-sharp features softened into genuine bewilderment.
Realizing how ridiculous he looked, he cleared his throat, holding up the cake box awkwardly. “Well p>
“I’m actually here to see my sister p>
“She’s also competing for the Elyndor team p>
He glanced pointedly at the groaning thugs scattered across the floor.cl
was waiting for her when I noticed

Something shady going down c Here I followed them, but I didnt expect p>
“Perfect timing, then,” Serena said, a faint, self-assured smirk playing on her lips.
“Huh?” Jerrick blinked.
Serena didn’t miss a beat. “I’ll leave these guys for the captain of the Dragon-Thorn Squad to clean up p>
