Chapter 421 - 431: That’s Not Right, How Is She So Powerful?
Chapter 421: Chapter 431: That’s Not Right, How Is She So Powerful?
She was completely in their hands. It was one thing for her not to beg for mercy, but to look so utterly indifferent was something else entirely.
The pair felt utterly ignored and humiliated. They decided to teach Stella Sterling a harsh lesson first.
The woman stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Stella Sterling across the face. But just as her hand was in the air, she noticed the mask.
Hitting the mask wouldn’t hurt Stella at all; it would just sting her own hand. So, she stopped and decided to kick her instead.
The next moment, the woman screamed in pain as a single kick from Stella Sterling sent her flying, landing her hard on the ground.
Stella Sterling retracted her leg and said with a helpless sigh, "We could have just talked this out. Why get physical? It’s just a reflex. I can’t help but strike back, and you’re the one who ends up getting hurt!"
The portly man shot Stella Sterling an angry glare before rushing over to his wife. "Honey, honey, are you okay?!"
"Do I look okay to you?! Hurry up and help me up!"
The curvaceous woman shouted, rubbing her rear end and the spot where Stella Sterling had kicked her.
Her face was contorted in a grimace. ’That kick really hurt!’
The portly man helped his wife to her feet. The two of them turned and glared furiously at the skinny man who had brought Stella Sterling back. "Are you just going to stand there? You let her attack us!"
The skinny man was also surprised. ’Wasn’t this woman supposed to be out of strength? And I tied her up completely. How can she still fight back?’
He had just noticed that the ropes binding her had come loose at some point. He charged toward Stella Sterling, shouting, "This is Sanctyr Base! I’d advise you to behave and not try anything stupid. Otherwise, you’ll only suffer more!"
He deliberately shouted the warning as he rushed toward her.
He had sensed her skills were extraordinary when they first fought. Besides, the fact that she had killed Attorney Walsh was further proof of how dangerous she was.
It had taken two of them to capture her before, and they had even lost a companion in the process.
’Now, on my own, I’m probably no match for her,’ he thought. ’All I can do is try to intimidate her.’
He yelled to the people around them, "Get her!"
He looked menacing, but his pace was slow as he deliberately dragged his feet.
Stella Sterling gave him a strange look. ’Looks like these people are all pretty cunning.’
Seeing Stella Sterling surrounded, the couple’s faces twisted into smug expressions. The curvaceous woman cursed, "The bitch dared to hit me! Today, I’ll show her what real pain is!"
"Yes, yes, honey. She’s in our base now, what can she possibly do? Once we’ve beaten her into submission, you can deal with her however you want!"
"Hmph! Even cutting her into a thousand pieces wouldn’t be enough to quell my hatred! He was my only brother, and he died at the hands of this little bitch."
"This is all your fault! I told you to send some men to protect Attorney Walsh. And now look what happened! He’s dead!"
Queenie Walsh said, full of resentment and hatred, wiping away tears as she spoke.
The portly man beside her was heartbroken and stood by her side, constantly trying to console her.
Then he looked furiously over at Stella Sterling and said to the men, "Teach her a harsh lesson. Just leave her breathing."
At that moment, in a corner of their Sanctyr Base, several men wielding knives and clubs charged at Stella Sterling.
Sanctyr Base was a large base with a decent supply of firearms, but not everyone carried them.
Within the base, only the security personnel were armed at all times. Everyone else’s guns were kept in storage.
That was why they could only charge at Stella Sterling with clubs and knives.
But the next moment, a series of dull thuds echoed as, one by one, the men were kicked to the ground, crying out in pain.
Stella Sterling, who should have been the one getting beaten badly, was standing there completely unscathed. Instead, it was her attackers who were all injured. They had been kicked so hard that some of them had broken bones, leaving them neutralized on the ground.
The skinny man, who had been moving so slowly, stared dumbfounded at the scene.
He sensed something was wrong. ’How did this masked woman suddenly get so strong?’
’Her skills were decent before, but nowhere near this powerful.’
’If she was this strong all along, how could the two of us have possibly captured her?’
He felt a flicker of unease, but before his brain could process it, the woman was already rushing toward him.
A kick landed squarely on his chest, sending him staggering back a few steps. Before he could even regain his balance, a sharp chop to his neck knocked him unconscious.
Stella Sterling might have come to Sanctyr Base to "play," but that didn’t mean she was going to let herself be pushed around.
After dealing with the men, she turned her gaze to the couple.
’Since I just got here, I’ll hold back a little,’ she thought. ’I didn’t kill them, just injured and crippled them enough to take them out of the fight.’
’I’m being quite merciful, really!’
She looked at the couple. From their brief exchange, she had already deduced that they were relatives of the man she’d killed a few days ago. ’So, they must be Derek Walsh’s backers.’
Seeing Stella Sterling’s gaze fall on them, the pair instinctively took a few steps back.
They never expected this woman to be such a formidable fighter.
Queenie Walsh, in particular, knew full well how skilled her brother was. He might have been a bit of a wild card, but he was capable.
That was why she valued her brother so much. She had even had her husband pull some strings to arrange a post for him at the base.
They were going to use their connections to pave the way for him, giving him a foothold in the base. Then, brother and sister could support each other and do quite well for themselves.
But the plan had barely been set in motion when her brother was killed.
Since the woman had managed to kill her brother, Queenie had guessed her skills must be decent.
But seeing it firsthand was still a shock.
’These are all members of the base!’
’And they were completely powerless against her.’
