Elena was no exception; she drew her dagger and engaged them in close combat.
She would deal with these men first, then kill Sirius!
The dagger glinted, moving effortlessly in her hand, her figure gliding like the wind.
She stabbed one man in the chest.
*Drip...*
Blood from the dagger in her hand dripped onto the grass.
The air was filled with the sounds of fighting and clashing blades as a small figure maneuvered through the chaos.
Elena had already taken down half of the dozen mercenaries.
Some had their throats slit, others had broken limbs.
Dead or injured, they fell one by one.
Elena's eyes were red with fury. Since leaving the Moon family, she hadn't let loose and slaughtered like this in a long time.
She leaped forward, grabbing one man by the shoulder. A sickening crunch followed.
Her fingers were like iron claws, crushing the man's bones.
"Argh!!!"
Screams echoed continuously.
Elena's hands were covered in blood.
Seeing this, Sirius took off his gold-rimmed glasses.
He removed his suit jacket and shirt, revealing the camouflage gear underneath.
He walked toward Elena step by step.
"This showdown was bound to happen sooner or later, but today, you are destined to lose," Sirius said.
"It's not over yet!"
She found an opening and tried to finish him with a single strike.
But in mid-air, she suddenly froze. A sharp pain shot through her stomach.
She clutched her abdomen, sensing something was wrong.
She tried to exert force again, only to find her body drained of strength.
*What's happening?*
*Could it be... the candy from that little girl today?*
"That... that little girl was your setup?" Elena looked up, staring sharply at Sirius.
"That's right. I know your personality. You look cold on the outside, but you're soft-hearted. You wouldn't stand by and watch someone get scammed. So, I played along and placed an innocent little girl there. I knew you wouldn't suspect a child! Moon Elena, you're still too kind. Not ruthless enough. That is your weakness, do you understand?"
"I know your medical skills are excellent. That candy contained a drug I had specially developed. You couldn't taste it. How does it feel?"
"You... you're despicable!" Elena hadn't expected to fall into Sirius's trap.
