Chapter 1001: Who Dies Is Yet to Be Decided

Tina didn't respond. Without a word, she attacked "Nancy," this time not with her signature silver needles, but with her powers.

She had stationed people to protect the Reed family, and to avoid panic, she had only informed Hayden and Hugo. If something went wrong, they were to take Jennie and leave immediately. The reason she had sent Uncle over earlier was to ensure Zackary remained safe in trusted hands.

But Claudia had targeted Jennie instead.

Hugo had always been protective of Jennie. If anything happened to her, he would undoubtedly follow.

As Tina unleashed her powers, "Nancy" evaded smoothly, her body lifting effortlessly above the energy's impact. A smug grin spread across her face. "You're no match for me. Using your powers is nothing but a death wish."

Tina's cold eyes locked onto her opponent, their icy glare cutting through "Nancy" like a blade. "What if I add Jade Armour to the equation?"

"Nancy's" expression shifted, her gaze snapping up to Tina in disbelief. "You've learned to use the Jade Armour?"

As Tina struck again, her eyes glinted with a frosty intensity. "You've tried everything to leak this information. Isn't this the moment you've been waiting for?"

If she wanted to die, then Tina would grant her wish.

"Nancy" raised her hand, enclosing herself in a shield of light. Even so, the pressure of Tina's energy forced her to take two steps back.

Fortunately for "Nancy," she had learned the art of instant teleportation from the Swanson family. In a flash, she teleported several meters away.

When she steadied herself, "Nancy" shot Tina a calculating glance, her lips curling into a pleased smile. The stronger Tina's abilities became, the more satisfied she seemed.

"Impressive. It seems you've figured out how to use it," she said.

"The Langdon family spent centuries guarding the Jade Armour without understanding its true purpose," she continued, her tone disdainful. "Now that it's in your hands, you've saved me a lot of trouble. Once I capture you and Jared shows himself, I'll kill him before your eyes. That'll be the first step of my grand plan."

A cold, contemptuous smile tugged at Tina's lips. In this world, no one existed who could threaten Uncle's life-not now, not ever.
