Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1378

Nina let out an indignant yell, her footwork instantly shifting into a dizzying blur as she scrambled backward to put distance between them.

A faint glimmer of genuine amusement flashed in James's dark eyes. Rather than holding back because she was a child, his assault only grew more ferocious. His fists tore through the air with bone-crushing force, his kicks a relentless storm of violence. The five elite adults had failed to survive even ten of his moves, yet this pigtail-wearing teenager was displaying an utterly terrifying resilience.

She didn't try to block a single strike. Fully aware of her massive disadvantage in raw strength, she relied entirely on insane agility and technical evasion. She ducked, rolled, vaulted, and twisted, weaponizing her small stature to slip through the minuscule, lethal gaps in James's attacks. For a moment, the entire arena was flooded with the white afterimages of her uniform.

Ten moves. Fifteen moves. Twenty moves! Just as James unleashed a devastating hook destined to seal off her final escape route, Nina sucked in a sharp breath. Using the violent wind generated by his punch, she stomped hard off the ground, launching herself entirely out of the combat ring. She landed heavily, stumbling backward several steps as she frantically rubbed her shoulder, screaming at the top of her lungs.

"I quit, I quit! You are an absolute freak!" she shouted. "Are your fists made of solid steel? You barely grazed me and I swear my bone is cracked!" Though she was whining loudly, her eyes burned with the ecstatic thrill of combat. There wasn't a single shred of fear in her.

James ceased his assault and stood perfectly straight, calmly adjusting his slightly rumpled cuffs. A rare, satisfied smirk finally graced his sharp features. He looked at the teenager furiously rubbing her arm and raised an eyebrow. "How is your marksmanship?"

The moment she heard the challenge, Nina completely forgot about her pain. She puffed out her chest, aggressively wiped her nose with her thumb, and beamed with absolute arrogance. "Flawless! It is my ultimate specialty!"

James gestured toward the shooting range with his chin. "Show me."

Without another word, Nina sprinted to the firing line. She snatched up a black handgun from the table, her playful, childish demeanor vanishing into thin air. It was instantly replaced by a terrifying, cold-blooded focus completely alien to someone her age. Chambering a round, raising the weapon, and locking her aim, every motion blurred into a singular, lightning-fast action.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
