Chapter: 194

"You all have one minute to get out of here," Norah said, fixing them an icy glare.

Those four men all burst out laughing at her words. "Oh, beauty. Are you joking? Stop dreaming! Who do you think you are to scare us away with your limited words?"

Norah smiled menacingly and said, "Well, I did give you a chance."

Those four men seemed to forget about the trembling girl as they slowly approached Norah.

Norah was about to lunge at them when she heard heavy breathing from the forest. It was not from any of these men. She frowned as the four men used her distraction to encircle her.

“Why have you gone silent? Are you scared?" one of them teased.

“You thought it was amusing to play us for fools? Why did you stop then?" another chimed in.

"Don't scream now. There will be enough time for that later."

They all seemed to be unaware of the impending doom Norah was about to bring upon them. They all thought she was fragile.

Norah glanced at the girl on the ground. She gritted her teeth and immediately struck one of the men in a non-lethal area, incapacitating him.

The other three men were shocked at the blinding speed with which Norah had moved. The one she had attacked was on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Don't attack her! Let's wait for reinforcement," one of the men said.

Norah knew he was referring to those hidden in the bush. She grasped she couldn't afford to linger as the number of her adversaries grew.

Norah, however, maintained her composure. She smiled coldly and said, "Trying to buy time? I won't let that happen."

She then placed a swift kick on one man's head and followed up with two punches to the other two. The three men went down. They had not been prepared for her attack.

“Get up and follow me," Norah said as she crouched by the frightened girl and offered her help to get up.

The girl, however, seemed scared and hesitant to trust Norah.

"Don't be afraid. I will take you to safety," Norah said as she placed a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder. She was attempting to lift the girl when she suddenly realized that they were no longer alone.

A blade was swiftly pressed against Norah's neck, and a malevolent voice said, "Don't move."

The hand Norah had extended to the girl froze midair. Turning around, she was met with the girl's icy glare.

“Worthless fools! Do I have to do everything myself?" the girl said to those four men.

She then turned to Norah and said, "They underestimated you. However, I didn't let my guard down. This whole little act was staged, and you fell for it, didn't you?"

Hearing the girl's words, realization dawned on Norah that she had fallen for an act.

Norah erupted in laughter unexpectedly. Throughout her life, she had often found herself fooling others, but now she was the victim of deceit.
