Chapter 1079 Outdone
"Even though you're strong, you're still just a woman. A woman just needs to be a good toy to a man. Why do you insist on going out and fighting so hard?"
Galen was spouting all sorts of disrespectful comments about women, trying to provoke Penelope with his words.
However, Penelope showed no reaction to what Galen had said.
At that moment, it was as though Galen was talking to a wall. His words were unable to make any impact on Penelope at all. Seeing that insulting Penelope had no effect, Galen suddenly lunged forward, stabbing at Penelope from an unexpected angle. This move was Galen's most frequently used tactic.
Normally, he would distract his opponent by talking, then seize the opportunity to attack when they were not paying attention. But since Penelope didn't fall for it, all Galen could do was rely on his agility to launch a surprise attack on her.
Galen's idea was excellent. It was just a pity that the gap in skill level between him and Penelope was simply too vast.
Almost at the same time as Galen made his move, Penelope had already discerned his target by observing his overall posture and predicted where Galen would strike her.
Since she knew where he would attack, there was no doubt that Galen's strike missed its mark.
Penelope not only caught Galen's wrist but also delivered a powerful knee strike to his stomach. Galen tried to block Penelope's attack with his other hand.
Yet, his hand had just moved to shield himself when suddenly, he heard a crisp cracking sound. Incredibly, Penelope's strike had broken the bones of his left hand!
Galen felt as if he had been hit by a truck.
Despite being a Stella Warrior, even he couldn't withstand the powerful knee strike from Penelope.
Galen was like a kite with its string cut as his body was flung more than five meters away.
"Seems like all you're good at is talking."
Penelope glanced at the laser knife in her hand, tossed it on the ground, and crushed it under her foot.
One would be greatly mistaken if one thought Penelope only knew a bit of martial arts. After all, she was known as the Shadow of Quadfield.
In order to assist Donald in various fields, Penelope not only mastered martial arts but also had a deep understanding of high-tech gadgets.
For Galen, this laser knife might be a high-tech product, but for members of Quadfield, it was already several generations outdated. It was simply not worth Penelope treating it as a trophy of war.
The most crucial thing was that the laser knife had a self-destruction protocol. If Penelope really had kept it to use as her own weapon, there was a good chance that Galen would activate the self-destruction protocol, thereby causing harm to her.
One could say that, be it in terms of strength or vision, Galen was completely outdone by this woman he had once looked down upon.
Watching Penelope approach him step by step, Galen suddenly panicked.
He quickly pleaded, "Wait! Don't kill me! I have money too, a lot of it. If you spare my life, all that money can be yours."
At that moment, Galen's previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
For the sake of survival, he was now nothing more than a pitiful jester, truly a sight too pathetic to elicit sympathy.
Having been Shadow for so many years, Penelope certainly wouldn't show mercy just because of Galen's pleas.
Just as she was about to make her move, Galen suddenly pulled out two objects, similar to magnets, from behind him and threw them directly at Penelope.
Immediately after that, Galen turned around to shield his face.
With a thunderous boom, a violent explosion stirred up a cloud of dust and smoke.
Galen could feel that his back was injured, likely due to some shrapnel hitting him after the detonation of the hand grenades.
This move was Galen's trump card.
He had precisely calculated the damage range of the hand grenades.
This damned woman is undoubtedly going to die!
