Chapter 101
Lena found herself with nowhere to escape. She watched as the man’s dagger threatened to slice through her throat. Just then, an invisible beam of cold light shot from where Cameron was. It accurately struck the man’s armpit.
The man’s expression changed abruptly. His arm stiffened as if it had turned to stone, freezing in mid
-air.
Thinking the man hadn't fully recovered from her previous blow, Lena seized the opportunity and delivered a vicious sidekick to his abdomen.
Bile spurted from the man’s mouth as he fell to the ground, writhing in pain. Lena followed up with another kick, knocking the man unconscious.
This time, she learned from her earlier mistakes and didn’t let her guard down. She swiftly restrained the man’s hands behind his back with a pair of handcuffs. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
That was close.
Luckily, her agility and quick reflexes saved the day!
Cameron retracted the second silver needle he had concealed between his fingertips when he saw that Lena had subdued their assailant.
After dealing with the thug, Lena stood up and glanced at Cameron.
Watching him stand there without offering help after distracting her earlier and almost giving the thug an opportunity made her furious.
“You damn bastard!” she cursed.
Cameron was puzzled. He had saved this woman, yet now she was cursing him?
“What are you looking at? Keep staring and I'll gouge your eyeballs out with my bare hands!” Lena was furious. She had no idea that Cameron had just saved her.
Cameron was unjustly scolded again. He became displeased, and his tone carried a hint of coldness. Colonel Bailey, did | say or do anything to offend you?”
“You didn’t offend me, but | wouldn’t have been attacked by the thug if you hadn’t distracted me just now,” Lena said with a displeased expression.
Cameron was dumbfounded.
Clearly, it was her overconfidence in her abilities that gave the assailant an opportunity when she Chapter 101
falled to immediately restrain him after knocking him out.
How did she end up blaming him?
“Colonel Bailey, It was your own mistake. Why are you blaming me?” Cameron spoke frankly.” Moreover, | helped you when the thug attacked you just now. Is there any need for this?”
He wasn’t going to be the scapegoat.
“My mistake? You helped me?”
Lena stared at Cameron in disbelief. An outsider was questioning a colonel like her? Most importantly, this outsider even dared to claim he had helped her.
She felt greatly humiliated!

Anger surged within her, and she berated, “My mistake, and you helped me? Who do you think you are? Do | look like | need your help? Don’t forget, it was me who scared off those mercenaries and
made them run for cover!”
“So, do you also believe that I’m not working with them?”
Cameron looked at Lena calmly and asked, “Can | leave now?”
He didn’t want to stay and continue this meaningless argument. He had said what needed to be said. “You!”
Lena’s blood pressure skyrocketed. The camouflage short-sleeved shirt accentuated her full and round chest, which was heaving violently.
She was really about to be driven crazy. This bastard was a master at finding loopholes!
