Chapter 594:
The man was taken aback by his rapid defeat. Another loss to Yelena would mean total humiliation. He was determined not to lose again.
Yelena found his resolve more amusing than threatening. His increasing nervousness, contrasted with her composed demeanor, only intensified his anxiety.
The second round started quickly, and soon enough, the man lost again. He should have conceded defeat and just left. But he didn’t. Enraged, he flipped the table, sending dice scattering. “You cheated,” he accused bitterly.
How could Yelena, a woman, have bested him twice?
Yelena regarded him with a frosty smile. “What makes you think I cheated? Do you have any proof p>
Tessa stood behind Yelena, her voice tinged with concern. “Yelena, maybe we should just leave p>
The group around them was intimidating, and Tessa felt genuine fear.
Yelena responded firmly, “You and Lori stay close behind me. I’ve got this.” She observed that the aggressive man had several toughs with him; if Lori and Tessa were separated, it could get more dangerous.
Lori, meanwhile, was on her phone. After sending a quick message, she said to Tessa in a whisper, “Don’t worry. I’ve notified campus security. They’ll be here soon p>
Tessa felt a wave of relief wash over her.
The man signaled his henchmen, who began to circle around Yelena.
“You don’t know how to play fair? I’ll teach you a lesson then p>
Yelena sneered. Before the man could react, she was already in front of him. With swift precision, she grabbed his collar, hoisted him up, and threw him aside. She then turned to another assailant and dispatched him just as quickly.
To Yelena, their movements were ponderous, almost like they were waiting for her to strike.
In moments, she had neutralized the threat.

By the time they understood what had happened, they were all sprawled on the ground, moaning in pain.
Yelena stood over the ringleader, her foot firmly planted on his chest, and said, “Do you concede now p>
The man, unable to muster any defiance, quickly replied, “I concede. I really do p>
“Remember,” Yelena warned, her voice cold. “Don’t push people too far in the future. Don’t let your arrogance get the best of you p>
“Okay,” the man muttered, his pride shattered.
At that moment, campus security arrived. “Ms. Cooper, is it her? Is she the troublemaker?” they asked, mistakenly assuming Yelena was the aggressor. Lori, caught off guard, momentarily struggled for words before gesturing toward the men on the ground.
“They’re the troublemakers. She’s my friend p>
The guards looked at the injured men and then back at Lori’s formidable friend, clearly puzzled about why security had been called.
Lori turned to Yelena and said, “I didn’t realize you were so capable p>
Yelena shrugged modestly. “Just basic martial arts. Enough to fend for myself p>
“You’re being modest again,” Lori teased, winking at her.
Yelena let out a light chuckle and said no more.
John glanced at Austin, who had been standing by. He had expected Austin to step in and play the hero, but Yelena had already handled the situation before Austin could even react.
“What a pity!” John sighed.
Austin was about to depart when John called out, “Aren’t you going to say hello?” Austin shook his head slightly. “No p>
Yelena was enjoying a meal with her friends, and he felt it would be rude to interrupt.
