Chapter 338

Sunlight filtered through the dense forest canopy. Evelyn Laurent narrowed her eyes, quickly spotting the thicket of vines ahead.

"Found it," she murmured, already moving toward the target.

Ethan Sullivan followed without hesitation. They worked in perfect sync—she on the left, he on the right.

Evelyn's combat knife gleamed coldly as she sliced through the vines with ruthless efficiency. Each swing severed the tough plants effortlessly.

Ethan gathered the cuttings, his long fingers deftly weaving them into bundles. Their coordination was seamless.

Sweat trickled down Evelyn's temple.

"My turn." Ethan suddenly gripped her wrist, his voice firm.

Evelyn arched a brow. "These vines are tougher than they look."

"Let me try." He took the knife without waiting.

The blade met resistance immediately. Ethan's muscles tensed as he strained, but his pace lagged far behind Evelyn's.

[OMG, Evelyn's strength is insane!]

[Even an Oscar-winning actor struggles—how did she make it look so easy?]

[What is this woman made of?!]

The live stream erupted.

At the Lowell mansion, Victoria Langley clutched her teacup. Watching her daughter's practiced movements, her eyes reddened.

"Evelyn..." Her voice cracked.

Richard Langley silently squeezed his wife's shoulder, his gaze fixed on the screen.

Two large bundles of vines now lay ready.

"That's enough—" Evelyn's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Look out!"

Ethan instinctively rolled aside as a massive python lunged from the undergrowth, its fangs grazing his sleeve.

"Wrong move." Evelyn's eyes turned icy. She struck like lightning.

Her hand clamped onto the serpent's tail. A glance at Ethan sent him retreating with the crew.

Then—

Evelyn swung the python overhead and smashed it into the ground with terrifying force!
