Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790

Liz nodded, her face full of worry. She said, “Promise me you’ll be careful. Don’t get hurt.”

Aria just grunted in response and strode toward the supply pack.

Just as her fingers brushed the pack, a massive net-several feet long-dropped from above, its mesh bristling with fine, sharp needles.

Liz’s eyes widened in horror as she cried out, “Aria!”

A shadow fell over Aria.

Aria reacted instantly, springing aside and rolling across the ground.

The net thudded into the spot where she’d just rolled past, needles stabbing deep into the dirt.

If Aria had been even a second slower, she would have been caught in the net.

Liz thought, ‘All those densely packed needles, just looking at them gives me the creeps. No wonder it’s the State Security Bureau-they’re ruthless.’

She rushed over to Aria and asked, “Are you okay?”

Aria was already on her feet. She brushed the dirt off her clothes and said, “Gotta hand it to you guys, that hidden setup was pretty slick.”

Liz frowned and said, “I heard from the upperclassmen last year that the nets are made of some special material—you can’t cut through it with a knife. If you get caught, you just have to wait to be eliminated.

“I didn’t expect they’d add needles this year.”

Those needles were about three inches long-if they stabbed into someone, one might not die, but one would be badly hurt.

Aria started walking over to the net.

Liz instinctively grabbed her arm and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Just checking it out,” Aria replied.

Aría crouched down, plucked one of the long needles out, and frowned. She said, “There’s poison on this needle.”

Lizs eyes went wide. She exclaimed, “What?”

Fillip stared at the screen, his brow furrowed. He said, “Why is this year’s competition so much tougher than last year’s? And what’s with those long, poisoned needles on the nets? It’s not like they’re dealing with real criminals here.”

The leader beside him frowned as well. He said, “She’s got amazing reflexes and speed. If it had been anyone else, they’d probably be caught for sure.”

Owen pondered, ‘Not only did they add long needles, but they even coated them with poison. Are they targeting all people, or is this just for Aria?’

He shot to his feet and asked, “Can you connect the surveillance feed for this team to my phone?”

The leader turned to the staff member and said, “Go ahead and set it up. Give Mr. Shaw temporary access.”

The staff member replied. “Yes, I’ll get on it right now.”
