He moved incredibly fast, and Becca Reyes had not even reacted before she was captured by him.
The tightening force, the overwhelming sensation of suffocation surged forth—she couldn’t muster any strength at all, her hands barely able to clench into fists.
She had no room to resist.
"Let her go."
In an instant, Rex Maverick’s icy voice filled her ears.

Through her blurred vision, Becca Reyes saw a figure flash by, arriving behind Daniel Ramos.
A dagger pressed against Daniel Ramos’s throat.
Without changing his expression, Daniel Ramos let out a cold snort, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Instant relief flooded Becca Reyes as fresh air rushed into her lungs; she coughed violently a few times.
The crisis and fear that had so gripped her disappeared without a trace, yet only then did Becca Reyes realize she was drenched in cold sweat.
After catching her breath, she touched her neck and straightened up, staring disbelievingly at Daniel Ramos before her.
If her senses hadn’t deceived her, he had truly sought to kill her!
Becca Reyes’s expression was grim, her previous understanding of Daniel Ramos completely overturned.
What kind of person was he?
To calmly consider killing his own comrade?
Collecting herself, Becca Reyes turned her head slightly towards Belinda Nichols, who had moved the dagger away. While somewhat surprised by her appearance, she was more shaken by Daniel Ramos’s actions.
"Let’s go."
Drawing her gaze back, Becca Reyes looked at Belinda Nichols with a voice that was notably hoarse.
Belinda Nichols stepped forward after sheathing the dagger but paused abruptly, casting a warning glance at Daniel Ramos before following Becca Reyes out.
Daniel Ramos remained in place.
A cold and dangerous gaze unintentionally fell on Becca Reyes, completely ignoring Belinda Nichols who had silently placed the dagger at his throat.
He revealed a smile.
An increasingly bored smile.
This really isn’t interesting at all.
In the waning light of the sunset, the two figures gradually receded into the distance.
Daniel Ramos turned around, walking into the sea under the fading bloody sunlight, unhurried.
One step, another step.
Slowly, his shoulders were submerged, and his handsome features took on a hint of probing.
As the sea rose higher, and when the next wave rolled in, Daniel Ramos’s lips curled into a defiant arc.
Calvin Ramos, if we are to die together, can you really stop me?
He closed his eyes.
The surge of the tide engulfed him completely.
Becca Reyes and Belinda Nichols walked silently back to the Training Ground.
"Just now," touching her uncomfortable neck, Becca Reyes felt somewhat awkward and, after a long thought, still turned to Belinda Nichols and said, "Thank you."
Belinda Nichols’s tone was flat, without fluctuation.
With a tickle in her throat, Becca Reyes pinched it a few times and asked hoarsely, "By the way, how come you were there?"
"Just passing by."
Becca Reyes raised an eyebrow.
That was, uh, quite a coincidence, wasn’t it?
Facing Becca Reyes’s suspicious looks, Belinda Nichols’s expression remained unchanged, as indifferent as ever.
Of course, she hadn’t just been passing by.
She had been at the Training Ground earlier and had seen "Calvin Ramos" heading towards the coast. When she later saw Becca Reyes following, she grew suspicious. Furthermore, she had heard Flossie Wright instructing Becca Reyes not to get close to "Calvin Ramos," and that’s why she had followed to check the situation.
She hadn’t expected to witness that scene and had drawn her dagger on "Calvin Ramos" on impulse.
