Chapter 435: Do you want to die?
The fight between Penny and Mark was intense and deadly. Every blow was meant to hurt and incapacitate, but with each failed attempt, they ended up hurting themselves. After minutes of relentless combat, Penny kicked Mark in the gut, while Mark landed a kick from the side, sending them both flying across the room.
CRASH!
"Ugh!" Mark gritted his teeth, clutching his stomach as he felt his intestines twist from the force of the kick. "Damn..."
That hurt — a lot.
His sharp gaze darted across the chaotic kitchen, landing on Penny, who was dragging herself up against the cabinets. She, too, was gritting her teeth, her breathing controlled as she fought through the pain of the kick she’d taken to her side.
"Damn you..." she hissed, admitting to herself that the blow had been painful. But she knew her own attack had hurt him just as much.
Both of them were panting, exhausted, and in pain. They had been fighting nonstop for what felt like an eternity, and this was the first moment they had to catch their breath. Yet, despite the pain radiating through their bodies, the determination in their eyes remained.
"I’m not done with you yet," Mark said, forcing himself to stand. As he planted his foot on the floor, he winced at the ache in his ankle. ’Did I break my foot just from kicking her?’
A deadly glint flickered in his eyes as he wondered if she had some kind of metal bar hidden in her clothes. His gaze met hers, and he saw a mischievous grin curl across her lips.
"Hehe," Penny chuckled, lifting the hem of her shirt to reveal a butcher knife strapped to her side. "I grabbed it when I threw the other knife at you. You didn’t see that, did you?"
