Chapter 963:
“What is going on? How are they beating us so easily?” Kyson growled, his voice seething with anger.
Just then, something whizzed past Kyson’s head, a blur of motion that made his scalp tingle. He felt a cold rush of air as something brushed against his face.
He looked down, his eyes widening as he saw several strands of his hair fall to the ground.
A chill ran through Kyson’s body as his scalp went numb.
Had that knife grazed his neck instead of his hair, his head would have been separated from his body in the blink of an eye!
Seth, realizing the near miss, glanced at Kyson, his voice urgent and low. “We need to leave. Now p>
He wasn’t sure if Yelena had noticed them or if it was just an accident, but one thing was clear—he couldn’t take any chances. If she chose to strike again, they might not be this fortunate.
His job was to protect Kyson, and he couldn’t let anything happen to him.
Kyson’s teeth ground together in defiance. “No, I’m not leaving yet.” Yelena was locked in combat with Earle Williamson’s men, and Kyson planned to wait until the moment was right to make his move and snatch the pills.
It was the perfect plan, or so he thought. But reality had a different idea.
Yelena and Austin were getting the better of them, the odds shifting in their favor faster than expected.

Yelena and Austin exchanged a brief, knowing glance, their expressions barely more than faint smiles, as if this outcome had been inevitable all along.
“Let’s go. We’ve still got a long road ahead,” Yelena said, sliding her dagger back into its sheath.
Austin followed suit, sheathing his weapon with a nod before turning to head back to the car.
The driver, seeing the danger had passed, let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he started the car, and they continued their journey toward their destination. As the car sped through the night, Yelena and Austin sat in silence, gazing out the window as though nothing had happened. But both of them knew this calm was merely a brief pause.
Back at the house, Maggie let out a sigh of relief as she saw Yelena and Austin return safe and sound. “You’re back,” she said, a smile tugging at her lips as the weight of worry lifted from her shoulders.
“Austin, I heard you managed to get the heart-protecting pills today. Please, sell them to me,” she added, her voice full of quiet hope.
Before Austin could say anything to his mother, Leonel’s wife, Aanya, rushed forward, dropping to her knees before him, tears streaming down her face. “My mother had a heart attack, and the doctor said those pills could save her. Please, I’ll pay any price. Just give them to me p>
Yelena watched Aanya, a flicker of something complex in her eyes as she took in the scene.
