Chapter 150:
It was all a charade.
The young girl, the men—every single one of them had been in on it from the start. This had been a calculated setup.
If it had been a few years ago, Yelena would have noticed the inconsistencies immediately.
But the sight of the girl being harassed had shifted her focus, her instincts dulled by the urgency of the moment.
Now, the realization struck her like a bolt of clarity.
Her initial unease had been justified, but sadly she hadn’t acted on it quickly enough.
No matter. Yelena was here now, and her priority was uncovering who was behind this.
“What’s the point?” The bald man sneered, stepping closer. “Just surrender. You’ve offended someone you never should have p>
Reese, leaning smugly against the wall, let out a mocking laugh. “I made sure the dose was stronger this time. By now, she shouldn’t even be able to stand, let alone fight back. Go ahead, boys—she’s all yours p>
The men’s eyes glinted with a predatory gleam as they began closing in.
They had no doubt the fight was already over.

A cloud of fine powder exploded into the air, catching the advancing men completely off guard.

The chaos settled, leaving only the groans of the incapacitated men.
Reese froze, stunned by the sight of her plan unraveling so quickly.
Anger bubbled up as she shouted, “Get up! Now! Are you seriously going to let one woman beat you all p>
The men, groaning and clutching their injuries, struggled to their feet.
One of them, his voice tinged with confusion, muttered, “What’s going on? Didn’t she drink the water? How is she still standing straight p>
The group exchanged bewildered glances, disbelief etched across their faces.
“I don’t know! I saw her drink it—she swallowed it!” Reese, too, was momentarily speechless.
Yelena’s faint smile then broke the tension. With a deliberate step forward, she pressed her foot firmly onto the bald man’s back, pinning him to the floor. “If you don’t want to die,” she said coldly, her voice cutting through the air. “Tell me who sent you.
