Briar deliberately chose the darkest, narrowest alley and walked in. Sure enough, the footsteps behind her followed without hesitation.

Perhaps the person thought that in this deserted alley, a weak little girl like her had nowhere to run and would be easy to handle, so they didn’t even bother hiding their breathing.

It was the sound of a dry branch snapping underfoot.

Briar stopped at just the right moment. Without turning around, she swiftly shifted to press herself against the wall. The person behind her rushed up, and just as they were about to close in, she turned, firmly grabbed their shoulder, and before they could react, landed a heavy kick to their stomach.

She had used seventy percent of her strength in that kick. Even seasoned mercenaries couldn’t take a hit like that, let alone someone with such slow reflexes. This guy wasn’t a trained assassin. A muffled grunt sounded, followed by a heavy thud.

Briar flicked on a high–powered flashlight that had appeared in her hand at some point, shining it directly into the person’s face so brightly that they couldn’t even open their eyes.

When she saw the mess of colorful hair on the ground, her brows raised, and she gave a mocking laugh. “You got some nerves. Daring to follow me?”

The man lay on the ground, his face twisted in pain, fear making him unable to speak a complete sentence.

Briar’s face remained expressionless. Under the harsh flashlight, the ends of her upturned eyes gleamed with cold arrogance. “Speak. Who sent you to follow me?”

This guy looked like a typical street punk. There was no real malice or killing intent in his eyes. Clearly not someone sent to assassinate her.

The man said, “I’m Billie Buckley, the big shot on this street. Someone paid me one thousand dollars to follow you, rough you up a bit…”

As he coughed and inched backward, trying to get away from this terrifying woman, he cursed inwardly. ‘Damn it, they said she’s a weak little girl. She kicked me, and it hurt so much!‘

his organs had all shifted, maybe even internal bleeding. When he got back, he was definitely going to squeeze more money out of that guy.
