The person on the ground got one of her hands stepped on, so she used her other hand to grab an old broken wooden block at the side, which once formed the leg of a desk, and swung it fiercely at the bald girl, knocking the sword off the girlâs hand with the impact.
Then, the person took the opportunity to roll over and get on her feet. She grabbed the wooden block again and hit the bald girl fiercely multiple times.
Blood splattered all over her face as the bald girl let out a wail of agony. However, in the next second, the bald girl charged toward the other girl suddenly, as if she couldnât feel the pain at all. Both of the girls struggled and fought with each other on the ground violently, with one of them on top of the other as they fought fiercely like they were trying to kill each otherâ¦
The girl who retaliated was Sophia, whereas the bald girl was actually Kayla Harper, Richardâs younger sister! Michaelâs hand, which he used to hold his cell phone, trembled uncontrollably.
The video ended and a sentence flashed across at the end. It read, âThe old address of Mount View Elementary School. She doesnât have much time left. Come alone.â The meaning of the message was clear enough.
Kayla, who was supposed to spend the rest of her life in prison, suddenly appeared in the operation base of the Phantom Wolf. Judging from the drastic change in her personality, it was obvious that she had undergone Phantom Wolfâs ruthless and inhumane combat training; she might have even been injected with drugs.
Now, she was just like a killing machine with no emotions, one that was extremely powerful and had become immune to pain. This was a trick normally adopted by Phantom Wolf.
They often brought desperate and fearless people under their wing, turning them into fanatic suicide bombers and launching massive terrorist attacks. Sophia could probably die at the hands of Kayla at any time!
Michael got into the car without any hesitation. Seeing that, Abel knew what he wanted to do. âMichael, youâre his target. Youâll die if you go. Iâll go instead.â
However, Michael didnât reply. Since Abel knew he had already made up his mind and wouldnât change his decision, he had no choice but to go with him.
Suddenly, Stanley, who was covered in blood, caught up with them. âUncle Michael, let me come with you guys too!â
âNo.â Michael rejected him directly without any hesitation. The opponent they were about to face now was the fiercest and cruelest person ever in the history of mankind.
He couldnât even be sure whether he could come back alive himself, let alone the young and inexperienced Stanley. Anyhow, he did not wish for another new tombstone to be erected in the Memorial Garden.
Even so, Stanley insisted on going with them, and he threatened Michael fiercely, âI want to go! Iâll lie down in the middle of the road if you wonât let me go!â
The car engine had revved up, but Stanley stood in front of the car, preventing the car from moving forward. Michaelâs eyes flickered with complicated feelings.
Within a split second, a lot of different thoughts had flashed across his mind. Finally, he gave in to Stanleyâs wish. âHale, give him a handy gun.â Stanley then got into the car and it sped away quickly.
Mount View Elementary School was an abandoned site in the rural area. For various reasons, the school had not been demolished even after the location was marked as a demolition site. Therefore, it was left abandoned since then. Soon, a car that carried a passenger in it sped right into the area without regard for anything elseâ¦
At the same time, an intense life-and-death battle occurred somewhere else. The harrowing sound of a sharp tool piercing through human flesh was heard as a hair pin had been stabbed into the transformed Kaylaâs thigh.
Pushing it deeper into Kaylaâs thigh, Sophia had a vicious expression on her face. She wore her hair in a casual bun using a wooden hair pin when she went out this morning, but she didnât expect it would actually become so handy now.
Crimson blood gushed out from the stab wound, but Kayla, who seemed as though she couldnât feel any pain at all, grabbed Sophiaâs hair and pounded her head heavily on the ground twice. âB*tch, I want you dead! Just die!â
Kayla was covered in wounds. Her black tight-fitting garment was completely drenched in blood. Despite that, she seemed as if she couldnât feel any pain and was still unusually strong even though blood flowed profusely from her leg with every step she took.
Sophia got her head pounded on the ground so hard that she felt really dizzy, so she automatically folded her arms to shield her head from the destructive impact.
After all, her arms were softer than the ground, so Kaylaâs immense strength still made her feel very dizzy when she had her head hitting the ground. By the time she opened her eyes, everything around her seemed to be spinning like crazy.
Kayla yanked Sophiaâs unruly hair and pounded her head on the ground once again with all her might, but suddenly, Sophia noticed that Kaylaâs body convulsed for a moment before she kneeled down on the ground weakly.
It happens again! Sophia had already noticed that earlier. It seemed as though there was some kind of remotely controlled device installed in Kaylaâs body. Every time Sophiaâs life was in serious danger, someone would activate the remotely controlled device within Kaylaâs body, causing temporary numbness to her body.
However, after a few seconds, Kayla would become really strong again, like a senseless beast that came lunging at Sophia for her life. She had completely lost her sanity, for she was now nothing but a beast that only wanted to kill! However, after the remotely controlled device was activated, Sophia had a few seconds of time to catch her breath.
At that moment, she saw Kayla go limp and lie down on the ground. Sophia knew she had another few seconds of time to save herself, so she got up as fast as lightning and snatched the sword, which Kayla brought along with her initially.
Deciding to strike first, Sophia charged toward Kayla fiercely, swaying the blade frantically at the bald girl, looking like she was about to chop off an animalâs leg. She didnât know what exactly happened to Kayla after not seeing her for several months. Now, she was rendered a ferocious killing machine with superhuman strength.
Nevertheless, ever since that incident with Phantom Wolf last time, Sophia never once slacked off on her hand-to-hand combat training. Since the person behind all these misfortunes wasnât actually intending on killing her, she could still hold on. Now, it all depended on whether she would lose her stamina, or Kayla would lose all her blood first!
The current Kayla had lost her mind completely. What was only left in her was utter hatred and her natural killerâs instinct. Nothing could stop her from killing now, except for the complete loss of blood.
The person behind all these misfortunes never wished for Sophia to die at all. She could even notice the moving surveillance camera on the wall, as if purposely showing someone the video of her fighting with Kayla.
This, of course, wasnât to fulfill some peculiar desires of some psychopaths, but to lure someone over here to save her. Nobody would do such an outrageous thing, except Phantom Wolfâs leader, and the one that Phantom Wolfâs leader wanted to lure here was probably Michael.
Kayla lunged at Sophia violently again like a savage and senseless beast. Going bonkers, Sophia carried the rusty sword before charging forward at Kayla. She thrusted the sword into Kaylaâs body, piercing right through it.
Then, she pushed Kayla and pressed her tightly against the wall with all her might. Since she had thrusted the rusty sword really hard through Kaylaâs body, it stuck right into the wall, pinning Kayla onto it in the process. However, Kayla, who was completely immune to pain, held out her hand and grabbed the hilt. She actually still had the strength to draw the sword out from the wall.
The battle was so intense that it made Sophia lose her sanity too. She was completely oblivious of how far she had gone.
The only thing she knew was if she went the slightest bit easier on her opponent, she would probably be the one to die next. So, she turned around, grabbed a broken wooden stool and whacked Kaylaâs head with it. Using up the last bit of energy in her, Sophia kept on hitting Kayla until she couldnât move anymore.
In the end, Sophia was completely drenched in blood. She was relieved finally when she noticed that Kayla, who was still being pinned on the wall, was dead for good. All of a sudden, she went limp as all energy had left her body, making her slump onto the floor weakly as she lowered her head while gasping for air.
Streams of blood dripped down her hair onto the floor. She couldnât even be sure whether those were hers or Kaylaâs blood. With a few droplets of blood still hanging on her long eyelashes, everything seemed to be dyed red in her vision.
The place was an old abandoned multipurpose classroom; there was still a broken loudspeaker hanging at the corner of the wall. A deafening static sound could actually be heard coming from the loudspeaker.
After the static, a cold snicker was heard.
âHaha, it looks like youâre not as important as I think you are to him after all. I told him to rush here in ten minutes, or else Iâm going to kill you, but too bad, for half an hour has passed by now, yet heâs still not here.â
The voice was deep and gruff. Despite the fact that it was altered with a voice changer, Sophia knew the one talking was the leader of Phantom Wolf. She felt glad rather than disappointed when she heard that Michael didnât come.
Itâs better if he doesnât come. His life should be left unharmed as he waits for the girl who loves him to cherish him with all her heart. As for my life⦠You can just take it in exchange for his!
