How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 174

Only eight minutes left.

In eight minutes, the people inside would come face to face with those outside.

Morwenna quickly adjusted her tense muscles, trying to relax as much as possible.

Full relaxation was crucial for unleashing her full power in the upcoming confrontation.

She dared not peek into the abandoned factory again. She feared seeing Stuart hurt, unable to endure these last few minutes quietly.

Five minutes left.

Three minutes left.

One minute left.

Suddenly, someone from inside slapped the iron door asking, "Any noise out there?"

Morwenna had already dealt with the two guards outside, so no one responded.

The person inside grew impatient, muttering, "Where are they? Those lazy bums didn’t skip out again, did they?"

At that moment, Morwenna heard a sinister voice inside command, "Don't drop your guard. Go check it out."

As the door swung open from the inside, Morwenna knew her eight minutes of waiting had paid off. She burst forward in an instant.

Her foot slammed into the man's knee with brutal force, a sharp crack of breaking bone followed by a scream.

The man who came out to check fell to his knees.

In the next moment, Morwenna’s steel rod was pressed against his neck. Gripping each end of the rod, she pulled back sharply, then turned to face the other four men inside.

Her voice low and stern, Morwenna demanded, "Release Stuart, and I’ll let your man go."

The sudden turn of events stunned the four men inside the factory.
