All the guests were stunned.
Drake leered at Ava's curvy figure and grinned wickedly. “I'm challenging the God of War. What's a woman like you doing here?”
Ava's expression turned frigid at his tease. “Be careful, lest you die at the hands of a woman. That'll be so humiliating.”
Drake snorted angrily. “Don't blame me for being ruthless to you then. You asked for it!”
Right after saying that, he darted forward and lunged at the woman.
At the same time, Ava moved as fast as lightning toward her enemy.
A flash of a dagger was the only thing the guests could see as the two figures crossed paths with each other.
In a split second, the two were already standing back to back about two meters away from one another.
Standing upright, Ava now had a bloodstained military dagger in her right hand. A drop of blood dripped down the edge to the point of the dagger and landed on the floor.
Behind her stood Drake, who was staring down at his own chest in utter disbelief.
Much to everyone's surprise, there was a thin, long wound on his chest.
He mumbled, “How is this possible? She's just a woman...
Before he could finish his sentence, the wound on his chest tore open. Blood and internal organs gushed out of the huge opening at the same time. The scene was so gruesome that some timid ones couldn't help but scream in fear.
Afterward, Drake's body slumped onto the floor.
What? Ava actually killed him with only a single strike?
Zachery's brows knitted together.
The rest of the Windstorm Riders also couldn't believe their eyes. They gaped blankly at the corpse on the floor.
Drake was a highly-skilled fighter and had killed thousands of enemies before.
Yet, an unknown female bodyguard under Nathan had just killed him effortlessly within a second.
This was unbelievable!
Little did they know that Ava and Colin were personally trained by Nathan himself. They were considered the best in the North Army.
In addition to that, during the three years when Ava was away from the North Army, she joined a secret assassins' organization. With the code name “S1", she made it to the top of the global assassins' list.
They wouldn't have been so astonished if they knew her background.
Ava raised a brow. “How dare a lousy man like him act all high and mighty in front of the General?”
