?Chapter 989:


    “Sweetheart, you’re about to have the night of your life…” Wyatt’s voice was thick with excitement. But before he couldy a hand on her, Elena sent him flying.


    With a heavy thud, Wyatt crashed to the ground, a cloud of dust rising from the impact.


    For a long moment, shock rooted him in ce. Above him, Elena stared down, her expression cold and steady. She pressed her foot against his hand, pinning it down. “Does that hurt?” she asked, her tone icy.


    Dawning horror washed over Wyatt as he realized the tables had turned. A woman had bested him—how could he face his buddies if they found out? Biting back humiliation, he spat out, “If you want to keep breathing, take your clothes off and wait for me to fuck you!” Still clinging to his pride, Wyatt refused to face the reality.


    Without a flicker of emotion, Elena pressed her foot down harder, then delivered two swift kicks to Wyatt’s side.


    “Ugh!” A pained grunt escaped Wyatt as his body collided forcefully with the wall.


    Wheezing, he clutched his chest and scrambled for his pistol, leveling it at Elena. “You bitch!” he shouted, pulling the trigger twice at her legs. But he failed to keep up with her speed. Both bullets found only empty space, and in the next instant, Elena was already at his back.


    Wyatt whirled around, but he was a second too slow. Pain exploded in his wrist as she seized it and effortlessly wrenched the gun from his grasp.


    Never in his life had Wyatt faced someone this formidable. Wariness reced the lust in his eyes. He wondered why N had left out just how dangerous this woman was.


    Pulling himself together, Wyatt yanked out a syringe filled with anesthetic. With a practiced motion, he hurled a fistful of dirt into Elena’s eyes, buying himself a precious second to jab the needle into her.


    The drug, stolen by N from the military medical facility, began to work almost immediately.


    Watching her stagger, Wyatt spat to the side and sneered, “Damn fool, you really thought you could take me? I’ll finish you off soon enough!” Caught off guard by the sudden numbness, Elena realized toote that he hade prepared with a paralytic.


    Instead of freezing, Elena sprang into action, using a special tool to apply pressure to key points on her body to prevent the anesthetic from spreading further. Roughly two minutes was all she needed before the drug would leave her systempletely.


    Ga lno vel s . takes you into new worlds


    She narrowed her eyes. This wasn’t a run-of-the-mill sedative. Military-grade chemicals coursed through her veins. Clearly, the man ring at her with cruel intent wasn’t just any soldier from the base. Questions burned in her mind—how had he gotten his hands on military supplies like this?


    In a voice as steady as stone, Elena asked, “Who are you, and what do you want from me?”


    Bending down, Wyatt retrieved his weapon and concealed it under his clothes. “You sure talk a lot for a corpse-in-waiting. After I’m through, I’ll haul you back and carve you up. Girls with looks like yours don’t go cheap.”


    The implication was clear to Elena—this man was tied to the illegal organ trade.


    Wyatt’s gaze lingered on her features. “If only you hadn’t crossed the wrong people. I hadn’t even thought about iming your life.”


    A chill ran through Elena as she asked, “Who’s behind this? Who sent you?”


    Wyatt’s patience snapped, his eyes turning cold. “Enough games—stalling won’t save you. Just make sure you moan nice for me when I fuck you!”


    Wyatt seized Elena and threw her hard against the wall.
