章 89: Final confrontation

The air was thick with tension as Raven and I prepared for our final confrontation with Mary. We had chosen an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, a place where we could battle without drawing too much attention. The warehouse was a relic of the past, its crumbling walls and shattered windows providing the perfect backdrop for what was to come.

As we entered the dimly lit space, the silence was oppressive. The only sound was the echo of our footsteps on the concrete floor. Raven's eyes were sharp, her expression determined. "Remember, Jade," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "We have to stay focused. Mary is dangerous, and she won't hesitate to use any trick she can."

I nodded, my heart pounding. "I know. But we're ready for her. We'll take her down together."
