The sound of Lilis and Nina’s heartbeat pounded in their ears.190Please respect copyright.PENANABcGkagHj2Y
Both of them knew that the girl who had just fired several shots at them was not an opponent to be underestimated so easily.
“Stand back! This is your last chance,” she said, her lips still curved in a challenging smile.
But Lilis and Nina did not flinch. This was their mission. Both of them knew there was no other choice but to advance forward and defeat that girl.
Suddenly, another burst of gunfire erupted, echoing throughout the room. Lilis and Nina quickly moved out from their cover, darting nimbly while returning fire at Kania.
Bullets whizzed around them, ricocheting off walls, smashing into furniture, and shattering several monitors in the room.
Kania moved with sharp agility, leaping behind a desk to shield herself from Lilis and Nina’s attacks, all while continuing to fire both pistols in her hands.
But Lilis and Nina pressed harder, forcing her to think quickly to escape the situation that was turning against her.
Using her wit and skill, Kania began searching for an opening to slip out of the room.
The gunfight grew fiercer. The three beautiful young women clashed in tactics, each showcasing their own combat expertise.
Even cornered, Kania proved that she was one of the most skilled and formidable agents. She exploited every inch of the room to her advantage.
“Why are you two so stubborn?!” Kania shouted, standing exposed as she reloaded the empty magazines of her pistols.
She knew very well that, in that moment, victory would belong to the one who acted fastest and most precisely.
On the other side of the room, Lilis had just swapped out her pistol’s magazine.
The bespectacled girl rose to her feet and took aim the moment she realized her enemy was still in the middle of reloading.
But when Lilis stood up, she froze.
Her pistol was steady, her finger ready to pull the trigger—but the moment her eyes locked clearly on Kania’s face, the blood in her veins seemed to stop flowing.
“S–Senior Kania?” Lilis called out, disbelief trembling in her voice as her hands shook.
Kania, too, froze when she saw Lilis. Her eyes widened, meeting the barrel aimed squarely at her. She stared back at Lilis, utterly bewildered.
“L–Lilis?” she replied, her voice quivering faintly, showing that she was just as shocked as Lilis.
Time seemed to stop as their eyes met, memories of the past flickering in both of their minds.
Lilis had been the junior Kania personally trained since the day she joined the bureau. Kania had taught her everything she needed until Lilis grew into a skilled agent.
They had once been an inseparable team, partners in missions and achievements. But that was long ago, before Lilis was reassigned to work with Lisa and Nina.
Now, fate had forced them to stand on opposite sides—enemies in a battle that neither had wished for.
From the floor, Nina turned toward Lilis. Her friend stood firmly by her side, pistol raised and unwavering.
“Lilis, do you… know her?” Nina asked as she reached into her bag, pulling out a fresh magazine.
Lilis swallowed hard, not daring to look away from Kania, who stood firm before her.
“She’s the one who taught me everything when I first joined the bureau. She trained me in detail, until I became the skilled agent I am now,” Lilis replied, her tone betraying a mix of respect and confusion tangled together.
Nina paused, digesting her friend’s words.
“Someone who trained you?” she muttered softly as she finished reloading her weapon.
In Nina’s mind, anyone who had molded Lilis into one of the bureau’s top agents couldn’t be ordinary.
Within the bureau, Lilis was already renowned as one of the most talented under Orlan—ranked third overall.
And the one who held the highest record of achievements and talent was none other than Kania. The very same Kania who was once hailed as the bureau’s first secret agent.
Nina looked down at her freshly loaded pistol, her feelings tangled.
“Kania… so she is that Kania? The first secret agent of the bureau, and its most accomplished? No wonder the bureau moved so quickly to hunt her down—she’s dangerous!” Nina whispered, realizing they were now face to face with one of the bureau’s greatest prodigies.
The inner conflict between duty and personal bonds was clear in Lilis’s eyes, making the situation even more complicated and full of tension.
“Senior Kania… why?” Lilis’s voice broke, filled with confusion and disappointment.
Kania could only stare at her. No answer came, not when her own junior now stood with a weapon leveled against her.
The two girls who once shared trust were trapped in a cruel dilemma—friendship and duty colliding, leaving no path forward without pain.
“You think you can just capture me so easily, Lilis?”
Kania’s voice dripped with dangerous calm as she swiftly raised her freshly loaded pistols.
Bang!
Her shot nearly hit Lilis, but the girl’s reflexes saved her. Lilis dove behind a desk, her heart pounding. She knew now, more than ever, that Kania was not an opponent to take lightly.
Lilis and Nina, both in attack stance, exchanged a look. They understood this was the decisive moment.
Kania’s betrayal had already torn apart their trust. They had no choice but to capture her—dead or alive—for leaking the bureau’s secrets to corrupt officials.
“Stop this, Senior Kania!” Lilis cried out, her voice straining against the chaos. “We don’t have to end it like this!”
Kania gave a faint, mocking smile at Lilis’s lingering innocence. She lowered her pistol slightly, her sharp gaze piercing her junior.
“Lilis… you’re still the same as ever. You still believe this world is fair, don’t you?”
Nina stepped firmly to Lilis’s side, her short silver hair framing her determined face.
“And you, Kania—you’re too greedy,” Nina said coldly. “A single word of regret won’t erase what you’ve done in the end.”
“Oh, look who’s talking. The silver-haired tomboy herself?”
Moments later, bullets flew once again. Their battle reignited, fiercer than before.
Kania moved with extraordinary speed and skill—far beyond what Lilis and Nina had expected. She dodged every coordinated attack they launched.
Against Nina alone, Kania could have easily overwhelmed her. But with Lilis in the fight, things became far more complicated.
Inside Kania’s chest, emotions clashed. Yet she knew—rather than defeating them both, her only chance was to find an escape.
Her cunning smile returned when she spotted the window.
Seizing the moment, she lunged toward it, ready to leap and vanish into the night.
But in that very instant, Lilis squeezed the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet tore into Kania’s right leg just as she pushed off to jump.
“Arghhh!”
Kania crashed onto the floor, her scream ripping through the air as blood poured from the wound.
“Damn it! Akkhh!” she bit her lip hard, trying to suppress the waves of pain spreading through her body.
“Give up. It’s over, Senior Kania.”
