"We call them Obsidian Augments."
"These mutated Augments have had their cellular structures entirely restructured. Their combat power is absolute!"
"They feel no pain, and they are bulletproof!"
"They are the ultimate weapons of the Obsidian Sun. They will sweep across the globe and elevate us to the pinnacle of power!"
Mordecai glared at Serena, his eyes toxic. "It is a privilege to die by their hands."
Serena let out a scoff, a cold sneer forming on her lips. "Accelerated cellular regeneration and severed pain receptors."
"Their muscles might be hard as steel, but their central nervous systems are completely exposed."
"Honestly, with weaknesses this glaring..."
She clicked her tongue. "You actually brought these embarrassing failures out in public?"
Mordecai's face contorted with rage. "Keep talking! Tear her apart!"
Serena casually stood up.
She raised her right hand.
Between her slender, pale fingers rested several long silver needles, gleaming under the cold light.
Two Augments had already closed the distance, their red eyes filled with bloodlust. She flicked her wrist.
The silver needles blurred into streaks of light, moving faster than the eye could track.
They sank flawlessly into the pressure points at the back of the Augments' necks.
The once-invincible mutants.
Froze the second the needles made contact.
Thud!
Thud!
Without a single twitch of resistance, their eyes rolled back in their heads.
They crashed onto the floor, completely paralyzed.
Nicholas caught her eye for a fraction of a second and immediately understood.
Their synchronization required zero communication.
Nicholas went on the offensive, kicking the remaining Augments straight into Serena's line of fire.
As the mutants flew through the air, Serena's needles found their marks.
In a matter of minutes.
Mordecai's invincible, pride-and-joy weapons were piled across the room.
They lay in a tangled heap, nothing more than useless junk.
The twisted grin on Mordecai's face completely vanished.
He stared at the unmoving bodies of his Augments in absolute horror.
He couldn't comprehend how his immortal army had been neutralized

Mordecai stumbled backward.
How could a woman this terrifying exist?
Wait...
She did!
There really was a woman this terrifying.
He had crossed paths with her four years ago.
And...
His eyes locked onto the silver needles in Serena's hand.
He recognized this exact method of execution.
Four years ago, in the Gray Zone.
It was the only time in his life he had ever truly brushed with death.
The attacker had worn a mask, revealing only a pair of cold, penetrating eyes.
Eyes that froze the blood in his veins.
And back then, she had also used... silver needles!
Mordecai's face drained of all color.
His eyes bulged as he stared at Serena's stunning, radiant face.
She was smiling, her lips curved effortlessly.
But those lazy, cold eyes suddenly overlapped perfectly with the terrifying gaze that had haunted his nightmares for years. Conto
