Novel1Chapter 410 ShadowFox rubbed his nose, sneaking a side glance at Elian Ashcroft.
This Miranda Lancaster had a personality pretty similar to the infamous Mr. Ashcroft, didn't she? Elian, for his part, looked like he was in a great mood-there was a little smirk playing on his lips the whole time.
"Her needles aren't just ordinary needles. You brought her into your department, so you really shouldn't underestimate her," he said, almost lazily. "She keeps a low profile, sure, but don't kid yourself-she's no pushover." Elian's eyes narrowed with amusement. "All your people here are top-tier, but each one's got their own specialty, right? Did you ever stop and think about what kind of person Miranda is? You really think she survived this long, with the entire criminal underworld after her, just because the military's got her back?" The words hit ShadowFox like a bucket of ice water.
"I never underestimated her," ShadowFox muttered. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought her in. But honestly, you're right. Both sides of the law have bounties out for her, and the military can't really protect her. Besides, she was already a legend in the underground before the military even noticed she existed." ShadowFox squinted at the surveillance monitors, cigarette burning down to the filter between his fingers, eyes locked on the live feed.
Elian just chuckled, still watching the screen.
Miranda's confidence was rubbing everyone in the room the wrong way.
"If you hadn't sucker-punched me, you wouldn't have won!" The tall man who'd started the fight barked, still fuming.
Miranda shot him a look. "Weren't you all planning to jumpfirst?" The guy shut up fast.
Everyone else looked a little sheepish, faces flushed.

A young, good-looking guy was the first to cave. "Con, sis, take this thing out, will you? It hurts like hell... I swear, I won't mess with you again!" The "sis" made someone in the surveillance room go stone-faced.
Even ShadowFox felt the temperature drop. Elian was radiating cold fury.
Miranda just arched an eyebrow and glanced at the others.
Their expressions weren't great, but they all knew they'd lost fair and square.
Miranda spoke, voice cool as ice. "I don't like being messed with. And just so you know I always strike first, and I don't hold back. Got it?" Regret flickered across their faces. If they'd known, they wouldn't have tried to test her.
She was the new recruit, so they'd gotten curious-wanted to see what she could do.
Instead, they got wiped out before even landing a punch.
And wasn't she supposed to be a doctor? Since when were doctors this tough? When Miranda finished, she opened her hand.
Suddenly, everyone saw something like faint wisps of "energy" connect from her fingertips to pressure points around their knees.
With a flick of her hand, the tiny needles embedded in their bodies flew back to her palm.
Only then did they realize why they'd suddenly lost all ability to move: she'd struck their pressure points with silver needles.
And they hadn't felt a thing.
Yet, they could feel the lingering presence of that strange energy. They couldn't see it clearly, but they could sense it.
This doctor... she had awakened that power, too.
And she was good at hiding it.
If she hadn't used it, they never would have noticed.
"Those needles..." "How cwe didn't feel anything?" "This shouldn't be possible, right...?" They murmured, baffled. Miranda wasn't sure either.
Once she'd started applying this power to her medical skills, could do things no one else could.
everything beceasiet The reason they didn't sense her moves was probably because her et e was already perfect result of two lifetimes of mastery.

Plus, her approach to medicine was all about blending with nature, mind and body as one.
Maybe that's why she could hide her power so well.
She didn't really know.
But she could see the "energy" their pouring off their bodies, while they didn't even notice hers.
So they never sensed her attack.
"Hi, I'm you Amelia," said a cute girl, over with a bright set amazing! I'm sticking with from now on!" The handsyoung guy stuck his head out too, eager to follow. "Sis, my name's Before he could finish, the big screen in front of them flickered to life.
Beck Cooper's face filled the monitor.
He was in uniform, sitting upright behind a desk, scanning the group. His eyes finally fanded on Miranda.
"Looks like everyone's here," he said.
