Chapter 864 A Horrifying Moment A sudden force knocked the phone out of my hand, and I tumbled down with no chance of stabilizing myself. An instinctive scream escaped my lips, and I reached forward with both hands to try to keep my balance.
In this terrifying moment, I saw another dark figure emerge from beneath the steps, quickly catchingas I descended. The momentum caused us to stumble involuntarily.
Once stabilized, I saw that the person who caughtwas Dylan.
Still in shock, I glared at the steps above, only to find Liora standing there. Her expression was quite complex, her mouth hanging open in a ridiculous manner.

At that moment, another unexpected event occurred.
Seeingglare at her, Liora tried to descend the steps to get to me. Atlas, however, approached her suddenly. With a powerful kick, he sent Liora tumbling down the steps. Her body flew out like a ragdoll.
The next second, she fell heavily at our feet with a dull thud and a painful groan.
Atlas quickly descended the steps, reaching us. He placed his foot on Liora's face without hesitation.
His thin lips curled sharply, evoking murderous intent. He stared at Liora's distorted face beneath his foot with a chilling gaze. His tone was frigid.
"How dare you lay your hands on her? I think you've grown tired of living!" Liora's face deformed under the pressure of Atlas's foot. She still struggled vainly.
"A-Atlas, I'll sue you... You... You're intentionally causing harm!" "Fine, I'll fulfill your wish and leave you with evidence." Atlas's cold voice sounded again. This warning carried a ruthless tone, sending shivers down the spine. Atlas swiftly lifted his foot from Liora's face as she raised her hand to crawl up.
Atlas's foot quickly pressed down, and before I could see what was happening, I heard something break and Liora's blood-curdling scream.
"This is the price for crossing my bottom line. Harm her again, and I'll make you wish you were dead. Remember this!" Atlas's voice echoed again, the warning sharp enough to make anyone shudder.

"I shouldn't have let you leave my side." I shifted slightly, looking up at him and shaking my head.
"Chloe, I won't let you...have an easy time!" Liora's curses and groans echoed below us.
I suddenly looked at her with a trace of irony in my faint smile. I might have suffered a serious fall if it weren't for Dylan's agile skills today.
Taking a deep breath, I watched her struggle on the ground, a sarcastic smile on my face.
"You can try. I can't wait to see how you'll makesuffer. I'll be waiting."
At this point, Dylan had picked up my phone. Thankfully, the call had already been disconnected. Om Otherwise, my mom would worry again. "Bitch!" Liora continued to roll on the ground. "Liora, I've never fought a woman before, but what you did to her today is not over!" Atlas looked down at
