But a strange arc reappeared at the corner of her mouth.
It was the excited smile of a hunter seeing its prey break free from a trap.
"I'm very curious, who gave you the courage to challenge me?"
As she spoke, she slowly unbuttoned a button on the side of her long dress.
William did not answer her question.
He pushed off the ground, and his entire body shot towards Ophelia like an arrow released from a bow.
Since the pretense was broken, there was no need for further words.
One punch!
A punch imbued with Superhuman Strength, carrying a whistling sound that tore through the air, aimed directly at Ophelia's face!
Facing a fist powerful enough to turn a tank into scrap metal, Ophelia neither dodged nor retreated.
Just as the punch was about to connect, her body arched backward at an incredible angle, and at the same time, a slender leg shot out like lightning from the slit of her skirt, a poisoned Dagger emerging from her toes, precisely aimed at William's wrist.
William frowned, instantly changing his fist to a claw, grabbing for the other party's ankle.
Their limbs collided in mid-air.
There was no earth-shattering bang, only a dull contact.
William only felt as if he had grasped a slippery yet tough venomous snake.
Her physical quality far surpassed that of an ordinary person!
She was also an enhanced human!
Just as he was about to exert force and crush her ankle, a sharp stinging sensation suddenly came from his fingertips!
Alarm bells rang in William's mind, and he instinctively let go and retreated.
He looked down and saw a tiny, almost invisible blood dot on his fingertip, which hadn't been there before.
The skin around the blood dot was rapidly turning an eerie blue-black, visible to the naked eye.
A numbing sensation, following the nerves in his arm, rapidly spread towards his heart!
Poisoned!
"Hehehe..."
Ophelia landed steadily on the ground, and seeing William's instantly grim expression, she let out a delighted laugh.
"You reacted quickly, but unfortunately, it's too late."
She lightly wiggled her smooth ankle, and a poisonous needle, thinner than a strand of hair and glowing with a faint blue light, slowly retracted.
"I originally intended to use you as my sharpest Dagger, but I didn't expect you to try to bite your Master instead."
She walked towards William step by step, her eyes filled with the playful amusement of a cat toying with a mouse.
"But this is fine too; compared to a disobedient Dagger, I seem to prefer a... helpless plaything."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll take you back, pull out all your teeth and claws, and make you my most loyal pet."
William felt his vision begin to blur, and a sense of weakness spread through his limbs.
This toxin was extremely potent, directly affecting the nervous system.
Toxin Resistance and Super Soldier Serum were frantically working, slowing the spread of the toxin, but still unable to completely eliminate it.
He could feel his heart rate becoming slow and heavy.
He had to finish this quickly!
William forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body, looked at the woman before him who was so certain of victory, and suddenly smiled.
"Pet?"
He spoke hoarsely, a hint of mockery in his voice.
"I just think that an outdated organization like HYDRA is unworthy of a noble Sarkissian Countess from Hungary."
The smile on Ophelia's face instantly froze.
For the first time, her emerald eyes showed true shock and horror.
Ophelia Sarkissian.
This name was her biggest secret.
It was her past, unknown to anyone after she abandoned her aristocratic status and plunged into darkness!
How could this man know?!
Now!
The moment the other party's mind faltered, William launched his final attack!
His figure instantly blurred, not charging, but directly activating Phase Shift, appearing before Ophelia in a manner that completely disregarded distance!
The distance between them was less than half a meter!
Ophelia's combat instincts made her instinctively retreat, and at the same time, a cold, gleaming Dagger had already appeared in her hand.
But it was too late!
William's right hand had already penetrated all her defenses, penetrated her expensive long dress, and even penetrated her skin and muscle!
His entire hand had "merged" into her abdomen!
Ophelia's body stiffened abruptly, and she looked down in disbelief at this bizarre scene.
William's face was covered in cold sweat from the potent poison and exhaustion, but a sinister arc curved at the corner of his mouth beneath his hood.
"Zzzzzzzzz—!!!"
A violent, highly concentrated blue-White Arc Pulse, without any warning, erupted from his right hand that had "merged" into the enemy's body!
Palm Arc Pulse!
This time, it was a zero-distance, inside-out, destructive release of energy!
