On the screen, Sabrina and the heroine were engaged in a dramatic mid-air battle.
However, as Bradley caught sight of Sabrina, his eyes widened and he discreetly made his
exit.
Curiously, Peter pointed at Sabrina and inquired, “Who is she? Why haven’t I come across

Martial arts substitutes typically lacked conventional beauty, while other substitutes bore
a striking resemblance to the actors. Yet, they remained enigmatic to the audience and
faced disdain from the actors’ devoted fans.
With a discerning gaze, Peter observed Sabrina suspended in the air. Despite her
occasional lack of finesse, she exuded courage. Her movements brimmed with a

Camden shared Peter’s satisfaction and instructed Sabrina to perform a few more
maneuvers.
By the time the director issued his command, Sabrina found herself utterly exhausted. Her
arms throbbed with pain, rendering them almost immobile. Her attire provided little

her imminent descent, he intended to inquire about her situation while presenting her with
the water.
Sabrina alighted and received instructions from the director during the break. Bradley
confirmed she was Sabrina.
He wondered why she assumed the role of a substitute. And why as Galilea’s substitute?
In the blink of an eye, the wire suddenly snapped.
The rupture occurred with such swiftness that nobody had a chance to react.
A solitary wire remained and Sabrina immediately found herself off balance.
As she descended, the last wire abruptly snapped as well.
