Chapter 606: Natalie Takes Action, Mother and Daughter Reunite
With a loud bang, Rachel's gun fired, but the bullet merely grazed Tina's ear without disturbing even a hair on her head. Rachel stared in horror at the person before her, her wrist throbbing in pain as if clamped in iron shackles. "You... you're Alina!"
Natalie's gaze was heavy as she looked at Rachel, a mix of unfamiliarity and recognition in her eyes. She had never imagined that her own abduction years ago had such a story behind it. Clenching her fist, Natalie delivered a fierce punch to Rachel's stomach. "How dare you harm my daughter, you're asking for death!"
Rachel's punch could kill a grown man; Natalie's could kill a strong ox. The difference in their strength was not just in words. Rachel felt her organs shift, every nerve and muscle filled with intense pain, as if she was about to be torn apart. Following up, Natalie slapped Rachel across the face repeatedly. Rachel's delicate face swelled up like a pig's head. Trying to stabilize herself and take another look at Natalie, Rachel found her eyes squeezed shut by the swelling, unable to open them.
Natalie lifted Rachel up, her fingers swiftly throwing several needles that pricked Rachel's head. Rachel knelt on the ground, screaming in agony. The pain was unbearable; she rolled on the ground, banging her head against rocks, as if that could lessen the pain she felt.
Even as Rachel bled, Natalie's fury was unquenched. Meanwhile, Tina had already untied herself and had countered the poison on her instantly upon landing. Tina then went to untie Scarlett, placing her beside a tree before returning to support Natalie. They were now facing Five Poisons.
Five Poisons, standing still, watched the unfolding scene with a smirk, holding a glass of red wine as if at a social gathering rather than a battlefield. "You two look so much alike, I wonder if all daughters resemble their mothers," she taunted. Natalie narrowed her eyes, her silver needles ready. Tina was equally alert, determined not to let Five Poisons escape again. "You're Five Poisons?" Natalie asked softly, her voice calm, "You seem younger than I expected." Five Poisons laughed, touching her own cheek softly, then suddenly ripped off her facial skin, throwing it at Tina. It transformed into a sharp blade in mid-air, aiming straight for Tina.
"Tina!" Natalie shouted. Tina narrowly dodged the skin blade, kicking up stones from the ground. Natalie used the airborne stones to enhance her speed, catching one and hurling it at Five Poisons. The stone struck Five Poisons' thigh, penetrating through and hitting the ground, creating a small crater.
Five Poisons coughed up blood, and Natalie's breathing became uneven. Just as Tina was about to use poison, Natalie stopped her. The air was filled with invisible particles that could explode upon contact with the poison.
"Five Poisons, there's no escape for you!" Natalie declared as she and Tina stood shoulder to shoulder. Five Poisons, clutching her wounded thigh, threw a smoke bomb. As the smoke cleared, she was holding Scarlett at the cliff's edge, threatening their lives.
A helicopter's blades were heard overhead. Tina smirked, "Five Poisons, do you want to go to heaven or hell? I can satisfy either." On the helicopter, Jared aimed his machine gun, surprisingly at Scarlett.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Five Poisons stepped back, pebbles tumbling into the deep abyss below the cliff. "You can't win against us together," Natalie stated sternly, shielding Tina slightly.
Five Poisons scoffed, "I can't? I heard that decades ago. Were there not more people back then?" Natalie frowned, suspecting a connection to the "Destruction Plan" years ago.
Suddenly, Five Poisons twisted Scarlett's neck. However, instead of collapsing, Scarlett's body became rigid-a biomechanical robot. Realizing her mistake, Five Poisons attempted to jump off the cliff but was stopped by a gunshot. The robot's head exploded, revealing numerous tentacles that seized Five Poisons tightly.
"What's happening!" Five Poisons struggled in vain.
Tina scoffed, "Thought you were the only one who could use biomechanical robots?" Natalie gave Tina a thumbs-up, "Well done, your research is progressing quickly."
"You taught well," Tina signaled Jared in the helicopter.
