Chapter 174
Only eight minutes left.
In eight minutes, the people inside would come face to face with those outside.
Morwenna quickly adjusted her tense muscles, trying to relax as much as possible.
Full relaxation was crucial for unleashing her full power in the upcoming confrontation.
She dared not peek into the abandoned factory again. She feared seeing Stuart hurt, unable toendure these last few minutes quietly.
Five minutes left.
Three minutes left.
One minute left.
Suddenly, someone from inside slapped the iron door asking, "Any noise out there?"
Morwenna had already dealt with the two guards outside, so no one responded.
The person inside grew impatient, muttering, "Where are they? Those lazy bums didn’t skip outagain, did they?"
At that moment, Morwenna heard a sinister voice inside command, "Don't drop your guard. Gocheck it out."
As the door swung open from the inside, Morwenna knew her eight minutes of waiting had paid off.She burst forward in an instant.
Her foot slammed into the man's knee with brutal force, a sharp crack of breaking bone followed bya scream.
The man who came out to check fell to his knees.
In the next moment, Morwenna’s steel rod was pressed against his neck. Gripping each end of therod, she pulled back sharply, then turned to face the other four men inside.
Her voice low and stern, Morwenna demanded, "Release Stuart, and I’ll let your man go."
The sudden turn of events stunned the four men inside the factory.

How did Morwenna get here?
Stuart had played out every possible situation, every unpredictable occurrence in his head, butMorwenna showing up was something he didn't see coming.
Morwenna looked at Stuart and said, "Stuart, I’m here to protect you."
Her words tugged at her heartstrings, but with a cold tone, he said, "What are you doing here? Getout!"
Despite being scolded, Morwenna didn’t think about leaving. Her gaze remained resolutely fixed onthe men in front of her.
After a moment, a man with an eye patch let out a chilling laugh.
"Who is this brat thinking she can play hero? Grab her!"
Morwenna was still too naive, hoping the kidnappers might exchange their hostage for their friend.
But these desperados, even in their minds, didn’t value their companion's life over Stuart's.
As Morwenna watched them disregard their friend and charge at her, she tightened the steel rodaround the hostage's neck, knocking him unconscious.
The diminutive Morwenna, seemingly fearless, charged at them with the rod in hand.
Everyone assumed that such a petite girl had only managed to surprise them earlier. At the nextconfrontation, they would easily overpower her.
But when they met again, Morwenna clashed her steel rod with a man’s baseball bat, sending itflying from his hands.
Seizing his arm, she expertly dislocated it, then threw him over her shoulder with a loud thud ontoanother assailant.
Her movements were swift and her feet never stopped.
She stomped on another attacker rushing at her. As he bent slightly from the pain, she headbuttedhim fiercely.
The impact was fierce. Morwenna hurt her forehead, blood trickling down, while her opponent wasknocked out cold.
In just a moment, Morwenna had taken down two more.
