Chapter 1580

"Fantastic!"

Hayes declared, his eyes lighting up with anticipation as he sat up straight.He addressed the young men and women gathered in the courtyard.

"Give it everything you've got.If you lose, there's no point in continuing your training.Coincidentally, some friends of mine have been experimenting with intriguing games lately, and they're in need of a few test subjects."

As Hayes spoke, a chill ran down the spines of the young men and women in the courtyard.

Despite Jensen's seemingly fragile appearance, his icy demeanor was imposing.

As he stepped into the courtyard, dagger in hand, not a single person dared to confront him.

Hayes smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"So, fear has gripped you all now? I expected better after all the training I have put you through."

"Mia."He suddenly shifted his gaze to her.You've always been my star student.It's time for you to prove your worth against him."

Mia could not help but clench her dagger tightly.

She had never been a compassionate person, and to survive, she had often resorted to ruthless and even dishonorable tactics.

Her enchanting face had been a weapon, frequently employed to seduce adversaries.

But now, she hesitated to fight the young man before her, knowing that he stood no chance against her.

If she wanted him to stay, she would have to lose.

But losing was not an option.

If she lost, she might perish in the twisted games orchestrated by those lunatics.

Even if she survived, the consequences would be devastating.Hayes eyed her with a mix of amusement and impatience, his voice taunting.

"What's the matter? Are you scared or simply unwilling?" Mia averted her eyes, her slender frame quivering ever so slightly.

"I...I'm injured," she murmured.

"Please, choose someone else."

"Hah!" Hayes scoffed, his voice cold and dismissive.

"An injury is irrelevant.He obviously lacks training.I have faith in you, Mia.You won't lose."

Such a position would not only ensure a life free from worries, but also the promise of wealth and luxury.

Before Hayes took them under his wing, they were all starving, ragged orphans.

Despite the ruthless training and the grim consequences of failure, escape had never crossed their minds.

Becoming a bodyguard or assistant to the McCray family was their ultimate ambition.

Mia's grip on the dagger turned her knuckles white.

She fixed her gaze on the resolute young man before her, his eyes deep and filled with determination.

In his stare, she recognized an unyielding will to live and a spirit that refused to be conquered.

For the first time, her heart raced, gripped by an unfamiliar emotion.

Hayes, a sinister grin curling his lips, stared icily at Mia.

"If you don't want to go to the Velvet Vagabonds, then let the duel commence."

Kohen furrowed his brow as he observed his older brother, finding his brother's behavior toward that captivating girl was different.
