Chapter 177: Subduing Criminals

That order was stupid, Athena thought.

If she were in the gang, she would have shot the target and blamed it on an accident. But the gang members were loyal to a fault.

Still...

"So, what are you going to do now? Walk away? That seems like cowardice?" Athena asked, flexing her fingers as if warming up for a fight.

"Careful, Doctor Athena. I might not have been given the order to kill you, but it doesn’t say anything about maiming you. I’m the one with the gun here." Heronica’s voice dripped with arrogance.

Athena laughed, a sound that was both startling and cold, before a chilling glint settled in her eyes.

"Not for so long..." She muttered, her instincts kicking into high gear as she deftly lunged forward, grabbing Heronica’s wrists in a swift motion.

In one fluid movement, she pulled the woman toward her, twisting her body around so her back was now to Heronica’s front.

With a sudden, sharp tug, Athena disarmed her opponent, the gun slipping from Heronica’s grasp and into her own deft hands.

"Who’s holding the gun now?" Athena questioned, her voice steady as she aimed the weapon at Heronica, who stood there, bewildered, her bravado shattered by the rapid shift in power.

"You..." Heronica stuttered, her confidence evaporating as she began to sweat, the cold glint in Athena’s eyes amplifying her panic. "How did..."

Athena, noting the silencer attached to the gun, thoughtfully clocked it in place. Without hesitation, she shot the weapon less than a foot away from Heronica’s foot.
