Chapter 594

Next thing I knew, she was charging forward, taking on both guys like she was in some action movie.

For the first time, it hit me-Yara knew how to fight. Every move was so smooth, like she'd done this a million times. The two guys holding me let go and turned to face her.

We kept going, not sure how long it lasted, but eventually, we took both of them down.
