NovelUSAChapter 1186:
Continuing unabated, Elyse said, “You were on the brink of attackingjust now, weren't you? Your reflection in
the water gave you away—knife in hand and a lethal glare. It's fortunate that | can read situations like these
instantly.”
Amanda’s eyebrow quirked up. “And what if | was? | was indeed plotting your end. What's your move? Your words
carry no weight.”
As Amanda'’s last taunt settled, Elyse effortlessly raised her gun, locking her aim squarely on her.
A crack appeared in Amanda's composed facade as she cried out, “What are you playing at? Are you really
prepared to pull that trigger? Do you truly have the courage?”
Elyse responded with unwavering calm, “The presence of enemy mercenaries indicates we're on the outskirts of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJayden’s territory, where laws of the land rarely apply. You wouldn't have dared to threatenunder normal
circumstances. Thus, disposing of you here might just solve a few of my problems quite neatly.”
Amanda hadn't seen it coming—Elyse’s unexpected cleverness. Her face drained of color, and she was
momentarily at a loss for words.
Elyse’s finger gave a twitch on the trigger, convincing Amanda that a shot was imminent. In her terror, Amanda
whirled to flee, but her foot caught on a slick patch of moss, sending her sprawling to the ground.

Amanda lay sprawled out, completely motionless. With a furrow of her brow, Elyse stowed her gun and strode
over to Amanda, only to discover she had accidentally knocked herself unconscious. Exasperated, she gave
Amanda’s leg a nudge with her boot.
“Really? A mercenary who knocks herself out by falling? If all mercenaries were like you, they might as well hang
up their hats and get a real job.”
Elyse’s intent had only been to instill fear, not to cause actual harm. She pulled out the flare that Jayden had
provided and sent it arcing into the heavens. Before long, Jayden and his team materialized.
Confronted with a dead adversary, an unconscious Amanda, and Elyse casually rinsing out sclothes,
Jayden’s face curled in confusion. “Can someone explain what unfolded here?”
“Amanda lost her nerve, took a spill, and blacked out,” Elyse remarked with a calm tone.
She handed the gun back to Jayden, a casual gesture. “I had to use one of your bullets—sorry about that.”
Jayden took the gun, casting a glance at the dead man nearby, and inquired, “Was this your doing?”
Elyse nodded, her voice tinged with unexpected pride. “Surprisingly, my aim was true. Louise would have been
proud—I nailed him with just one bullet.”

Jayden raised an eyebrow, a hint of disbelief flickering in his gaze. “Louise taught you all that?”
Elyse wrung out the clothes, standing up with casual defiance. “Of course. She claims | have a knack for it, and if
| ever get tired of the violin, | might just take it up as a career.”
Jayden was briefly at a loss for words. Finally, he managed to say, “You're good at the violin. Let others handle
this sort of thing.”
Elyse threw a glance at Amanda, who was being half-carried away by her companions.
“Looks like Amanda might've hit her head.”
Jayden turned to watch Amanda and shrugged. “If she’s hurt, all the better. Makes it easier to get her out of
here.”
Elyse didn’t buy his thin excuse for a second. If he could've gotten rid of Amanda, he would have done it long
ago—why was she still lingering around?
