Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1217

Commander Kaelen raised a hand, a nasty sneer curling his lip. "Slaughter them."

At his command, the tension snapped.

The dozen mutated Augments unleashed a chorus of guttural, inhuman snarls and lunged for the battered Dragon-Thorn squad.

But in that exact moment, a sound interrupted the violence.

A single set of footsteps echoed out.

Tap.

Tap.

Neither loud nor hurried.

Yet, in the cavernous, echoing expanse of the underground garage, the rhythm cut through the chaos with impossible clarity.

It felt as if each step was a deliberate strike against their racing hearts.

Like the slow, methodical swing of a hammer.

The Augments, mere inches from tearing into the operatives, froze in place.

Both sides instinctively snapped their attention toward the sound.

Beneath a flickering fluorescent bulb, a slender silhouette stepped smoothly out of the gloom.

She was tall and lean, dressed down in a baggy black hoodie and dark cargo pants.

The hood was pulled low over her brow.

Her stride was relaxed, almost infuriatingly casual.

Yet, an overwhelming, suffocating aura of icy dominance and raw lethality radiated from her very presence.

She was alone, but she walked with the terrifying gravity of a conqueror backed by a phantom army.

For one surreal second, the blood-soaked garage descended into total silence.

Commander Kaelen stared at the newcomer, his brow furrowing in confusion.

This was the secure subterranean garage of the tech center. It was bad enough an elite Elyndorian strike team had breached the perimeter.

How the hell did a teenage girl wander in?

"Who are you?" Kaelen demanded.

The girl stopped walking.

She slowly lifted her head.

From the shadows of the dark hood, a breathtakingly beautiful face emerged.
