Chapter 1035
The guards and Owen stayed glued to Mira’s side, eliminating threats from every direction.
Mira shoved a thick bush out of her way. Just as she stepped forward, a sudden chill ran down her spine. Before she could react, Owen shoved her aside.
A bullet grazed straight into Owen’s arm.
She whipped around, spotting the blood dripping from his sleeve. “You’ve been hit p>
“I’m fine, keep moving p>
Ignoring his injury, Owen fired single-handedly at the approaching hostiles, shielding Mira as they pushed forward.
Five minutes later, Mira’s group finally reached the upwind vantage point. They unleashed the chemical spray over the dense pockets of enemies.
As the enemy forces collapsed in droves, their squad finally gained the upper hand. The gunfire slowly faded into silence.
But they couldn’t afford to relax. Everyone kept their weapons raised, scanning the perimeter with razor-sharp focus for any lingering threats.
Mira had just lifted Owen’s arm to apply emergency first aid when she noticed the tall grass rustling behind them.
“Master, we’ve got company,” she warned.
Her gun was already raised and trained on the bushes. Owen’s wound would have to wait.
The brush parted, and a dozen figures stepped out, led by a woman.
“Mishka’s half-sister p>
Why was there another Mishka look-alike?
As Mira tried to piece it together, the woman spoke.
“I’m not Mishka. Why would you mistake me for that idiot?
She had zero talent and only knew how to start trouble. Isn’t she the reason you’re all here p>
“Are you her body double?” Mira asked.
The woman standing before them bore a striking resemblance to Mishka.
“A double? Who do you think you’re looking at?
Standing in for her was just a temporary gig to get by.
Look where it got her. She got
self killed, and now we
know if
four father is dead.
Gontent
The woman sneered, waving a gun in her hand.
Mira remained silent.
If she had known Mishka’s family harbored such an ambitious
character, it would have beenel
easter to
incite an inte
Too late for that now.
“So, you’re another one of his illegitimate daughters p>
“Who are you calling illegitimate? Mishka was the bastard. My father only loved my mother. That haggard woman Mishka called a mother disgusted him.
The unloved one is the real mistress, get it p>
“Got it, loud and clear,” Mira replied briskly.
“So, why are you here? Trying to rescue your dad p>
“Obviously. If I save him, he’ll finally give me a seat on the board p>
So she wasn’t even on the board yet? Mishka had secured her seat a long time ago.
“And what if he’s already dead p>
“Dead? You killed him?” The woman’s eyes widened in shock.
Mira nodded.
Mira expected rage, but instead, the woman smirked. “Good. Doesn’t that mean all his assets are mine now p>
She turned her attention back to Mira’s crew. “Let’s make a deal.
I’ll let you leave the Balkan Underworld, and you stop giving me grief. Sound fair p>
She was eager to get back and take control of her father’s empire.
Was this woman out of her mind? The audacity was baffling.
Did she genuinely not realize that her father’s entire operation had just been decimated?
While they spoke, Mira and the others noticed the woman’s ragtag squad slowly grouping up behind her.
