NovelEnglishChapter 1501: A smirk curled at the corner of Harlee's lips. With a slow, deliberate twist of her neck, she said, "Who's really in whose hands here? That's yet to be decided." The masked woman froze at Harlee's words. Her hands clenched the hem of her clothes, and her voice cracked with frustration.
"What are you playing at, Harlee? Don't you see? My men have you surrounded!" As the masked woman spoke, her confidence grew with every word. Finally, she straightened her back and lifted her chin.

They will pin you down in no time!" The moment the henchmen laid eyes on Harlee, a chill ran down their spines, and their palms turned clammy with sweat. Years of experience had sharpened their instincts, allowing them to size up their opponents at a glance. But nothing had ever made their palms sweat like this before. Harlee's aura was suffocating. They could see it clearly now: she was no mere spoiled rich girl like their employer had described. Her presence hit them like a tidal wave. If it cto a fight, even with all of them ganging up on her, they weren't sure they could stand a chance.
The henchman on the right leaned in, speaking in a low voice to the masked woman.
"Miss, this woman's strength is beyond us. Those kidnappers didn't bring her here. She chere to challenge us. Look at her." The masked woman stiffened, her sharp gaze darting back to Harlee. Only now did she realize something was off. Harlee wasn't restrained. Harlee wasn't trembling or pleading. She was standing tall and unscathed. But how could one person take on a dozen professional killers? It was simply unbelievable.
The masked woman's eyes narrowed, her voice sharp as a blade slicing through the tension.

The henchmen exchanged irritated glances, barely holding back their frustration. This idiot! If they hadn't sensed the looming danger, would they dare voice such complaints? They should have handled the kidnapping themselves. That way, they could have scouted the enemy's strength and chosen whether to proceed. But now, they were stuck in the thick of it with no turning back. Still, there was a silver lining. Harlee was unarmed, while they had knives and guns. No matter how skilled she might be, nobody could outrun a speeding bullet.
The masked woman fixed her gaze on Harlee and suddenly burst into laughter.

Harlee halted, her obsidian eyes gleaming with a razor-sharp ruthlessness. Though her stance was relaxed, a sharp killing intent swirled around her. Her calmness and poise cfrom the unshakable confidence that she could crush every one of them without breaking a sweat.
"Pay with blood? I'm tired of hearing that sold line. Yvonne, you sound just like the rest of your kind—no originality whatsoever." Harlee's lips twisted into a small, mocking smile as her gaze lingered on Yvonne's face. Every movement was laden with a chilling promise, a deadly warning etched in her every glance.
Yvonne felt as though a lightning bolt had struck her, the shock radiating through her entire body. Her hands flew up to cover her mouth as a cold sweat beaded on her forehead, the disbelief on her face hidden behind the mask. How had Harlee figured her out? How had she managed to uncover her identity so quickly?
Noticing the stunned look in Yvonne's eyes, Harlee couldn't help buto m chuckle, her voice laced with amusement. "Tell me, who else would be reckless enough to court death the way you have?"
For reasons Harlee couldn't explain, whenever of idiots always crept in a couple seemed to show up and surprise her.
Yvonne's fury bubbled to the surface like a volcano about to erupt. She had already made peace with her fate, so revealing her identity no longer seemed like a risk. With a sneer curling her lips, she ripped off her mask and let it fall to the floor with a soft thud.
