Tina sneered, moving her fingers to reveal a silver needle. “Why make it soplicated?” She never wanted to use two needles when one could solve the problem. Unexpectedly, the two men each took out a syringe and injected the liquid into their bodies.


    “Mr. Farrell!” Nathan Lehman eximed and immediately stood in front of Jared. No wonder GTO dared to send only two people; they were prepared for this!


    “Mr. Reed,” Tina’s voice turned serious, “hide and protect yourself.” Before Hugo could respond, the two men, now injected with the drug, charged at Tina like wild beasts. Tina and Jared dashed forward like lightning.


    As Jared rushed out, he instructed Nathan Lehman, “Go protect Mr. Reed.” Nathan Lehman quickly moved to shield Hugo. The drug-enhanced men had their strength and speed multiplied several times over, their eyes wild with bloodlust.


    Tina and Jared’s faces grew grim as they faced the attacks, the air filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh and bodies colliding. Hugo, protected by Nathan Lehman, was stunned. He had seen Reba fight like a lone wolf before, and now he saw the same in Tina.


    At that moment, the images of mother and daughter ovepped in his mind, bringing tears to his eyes. Why did this child have to bear the same burdens and fate as her mother?


    After a few exchanges, Tina and Jared synchronized their movements perfectly, each delivering a kick that sent the two men flying into the living room. The tall figures crashed heavily to the ground amidst the scattered debris.


    The two men looked at Tina and Jared in disbelief. The drug they injected came at the cost of burning their life force to enhance their physical abilities several times over. They were among GTO’s best assassins; no normal person could defeat them one-on-one after they were enhanced.


    Were these two even human?


    “We were indeed underestimated!” Tina sneered at them. “Last time, Rook caught me off guard. This time, without hostages holding me back, did you think a lousy drug would be enough?”


    The two men hesitated but then charged forward again with a roar…


    Nearby, in Elena’s bedroom.


    Shonna, who was visiting Elena with Velma, looked up at the balcony inexplicably. “Elena, is there a ughterhouse near your neighborhood?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “ughterhouse?” Elena looked at Shonna as if she were crazy. “This area is worth its weight in gold; which boss would be so extravagant to open a ughterhouse here?”


    “But I thought I heard the sound of pigs being ughtered,” Shonna said puzzled.


    “Impossible,” Velmaughed too. “You must have misheard. If there were a ughterhouse near Pinkwater Alley, property prices wouldn’t be so high.”


    Just then, Elena’s phone buzzed. She checked it andughed. “Strange, the neighborhood group also says someone heard pigs squealing.”


    The group chat was flooded withints.


    “Who’s being so inconsiderate? Making such noise at night!”


    “I think it’sing from Building 12?”


    “Yes, it’s definitely from Building 12. I can testify because I live there and it’s driving me crazy! Why isn’t property management doing anything?”


    “It seems to be from Unit 1601-the ce where someone broke in today. Maybe it’s not pigs squealing but someone crying over stolen valuables!”


    “That unit is rented anyway. Poor them; not much money and still got robbed! Let’s notin about them.”


    “They’re crying so miserably; should we gofort them?”


    “Better not; they might think we’re there to gawk at their misfortune.”


    Elena and her friendsughed as they read through the messages. Shonna sighed, “That owner is really unlucky. Do you know them, Elena?”


    Elena thought for a while but couldn’t remember that Unit 1601 belonged to Tina’s family, so she shook her head. “Nope, let’s keep ying.”


    The three girls continued their fun without further concern.


    In fact, those two assassins were indeed close to tears from Tina and Jared’s beating.


    After being tricked by Ssst time during the kidnapping case, Tina had extracted samples of the drugs from those masked men who diedter and sent them to herb in Ashbury for research on an antidote.


    Although an antidote wasn’t developed yet, they did create a neutralizing agent that weakened the drug’s effects. Tina used this on these two men during their fight, significantly reducing their enhanced abilities.


    Once Tina and Jared had thoroughly subdued them, Hugo emerged from the bedroom with Nathan Lehman.


    He stared nkly at the unconscious assassins on the floor while Tina stepped on one of their heads.


    Just then, someone knocked on the door.


    Jared gave Nathan Lehman a look. Nathan cautiously checked through the peephole before rxing his tense body.


    He opened the door to find Hayden bouncing in with a cheerful “Surprise!”


    Hayden’s eyes widened as he saw the scene: two incapacitated assassins and Tina using one as a footrest. “Serena, what are you doing?”


    Tina’s phone vibrated in her pocket. Ignoring Hayden, she checked her phone-it was a message from Jin Yi: “Young Master, Courtney Tate is missing.”


    After dealing with Ss, Tina had sent Jin Yi to Ashbury to monitor and protect Courtney. She had anticipated that Courtney might be exposed to GTO but didn’t expect it to happen so soon.


    Frowning slightly, she replied: “Got it; I’ll handle it when I get there.”


    After searching for Courtney for so long and finally locating her in Ashbury only for her to disappear again…


    “What are you here for?” Jared asked Hayden calmly.


    Hayden grinned but lowered his voice seriously. “There’s news from headquarters-Base Three has been infiltrated and severely damaged. We need to return to Ashbury immediately.”
