"You... how are you still alive?" Aileen gasped in utter disbelief.
The bullet was fired, but missed Zoe. Using precise angles, she deflected it—sending the ricochet straight through the burly man's temple.
The man stood frozen, oblivious to his death. Blood gushed from his temple, soaking his body—a truly horrifying sight.
At this sight, the crowd was left utterly stunned.
"What the hell just happened?"
"How did the guy with the gun end up dead?"
"Is that woman doing magic?"
Those who had shut their eyes missed the entire spectacle and could only accept the outcome at face value, while only the wide-eyed witnesses who saw everything unfold truly grasped just how mind-blowing that moment was.
Zoe just grabbed a metal serving tray from the front desk to deflect the bullet. With perfect timing, she sent it ricocheting off the wall in a triangular trajectory—straight back to the shooter.
The bullet pierced the burly man's temple with deadly precision, while Zoe—the intended target—stood completely unharmed.
This was no mere coincidence—it was the result of a flawless calculation, a perfect fusion of trajectory, force, friction, and other physical elements, all calculated flawlessly.
The burly man got exactly what he deserved. Zoe was in a league of her own; no one could hope to match her skills.
After her initial shock, Aileen quickly regained her arrogant demeanor, sneered at Zoe and taunted, "You killed someone from the Underground Kingdom. You're dead now."
She thought it was better that Zoe had killed someone—the Underground Kingdom would never let Zoe walk away now. She believed that Zoe would die here today.
In under a minute, more than a dozen heavily armed men swarmed in and surrounded Zoe, weapons raised and fingers on the trigger—ready to shoot her at the slightest move.
Aileen finally burst into triumphant laughter at the sight.
"Zoe, you're done for this time," she said. "Let's see how you dodge this hail of bullets."
The onlookers were convinced Zoe was done for. No matter how skilled she was, there was no way she could withstand a hail of bullets from all sides.
Seeing Shawn about to step toward Zoe, Aileen immediately rushed over and blocked his path.
"That woman is hell-bent on getting herself killed. You can't save her—you'll just go down with her. Why not stay with me? I'm the only one who can keep you alive," Aileen said, her tone dripping with arrogance and threat.
Aileen fully expected Shawn to fall to his knees in gratitude for her magnanimous offer, but to her dismay, he didn't even spare her a glance—he simply brushed past her and walked straight into the armed circle.
Zoe said nothing as Shawn approached.
In fact, none of these men stood a chance against her. But seeing Shawn willing to stand by her side, even in the face of death, made Zoe feel a rare sense of comfort.
Furious at Shawn's rejection, Aileen shrieked, "What are you idiots waiting for? Kill them!" Her love had twisted into vindictive rage—if she couldn't have him, she'd make sure no one could.
Zoe fixed Aileen with an icy glare that sent cold sweat trickling down her back.
"Keep glaring all you want—you'll be a corpse soon enough!" Aileen sneered.
"No one is killing her!" A commanding voice suddenly cut through the chaos.
Dimitri strode out of the private room, flanked by his men. His sharp gaze immediately landed on Zoe and Shawn, who were surrounded by armed men.
The alarm blared and he sensed danger at once—only to find it was nothing but a ridiculous farce.
Dimitri strode up to the armed men, his voice icy. "Try touching my subordinates—I dare you."
Hearing this, the leader immediately straightened up and asked respectfully, "Mr. Chandler, are these two with you?"
"Yes," Dimitri said.
