Mitchel's body gradually relaxed under her embrace.

Leaning against the wall, Raegan slowly helped Mitchel to stand. Her phone disappeared during the earlier fight, leaving no means to reach out and update anyone on the situation.

Plus, Mitchel was obviously feverish, his body burning up. He seemed disoriented and not fully conscious.

At that moment, Katie's fingers twitched on the ground, and after a momentary lapse, she regained consciousness. Straining her voice, she called out to the departing figures, “Raegan!"

Raegan stopped in her steps and turned to look at Katie. Though Katie's face was still a terrifying sight, there was a rare moment of clarity in her eyes.

Katie's pain had long since vanished, and with her senses numbed, it was clear her end was near. She spoke. "Do you know? Mitchel could have been invincible, but because of you, he has a vulnerability. You have no idea how challenging it is for him to keep you safe!"

As blood dripped from the corner of Katie's mouth, she struggled to say, “You are a deadly ominous person for Mitchel. You will ultimately be his downfall... His downfall..."

Katie's words made Raegan extremely uncomfortable. Thankfully, Mitchel was not fully conscious right now, or else handling the situation would have been much more difficult.

Giving Katie a cold stare, Raegan said, "Here's a piece of advice. Those who do wrong will pay the price. Keep it in mind for your next life, or things will only get worse for you."

Ignoring Katie's furious response, Raegan turned and helped Mitchel as they walked away.

Even then, Katie's malice hadn't faded. Her eyes glinted with cruelty as she struggled to rise and chase after the pair.

But halfway there, her arm gave out, causing her to crash back to the floor.

The impact was harsh, and she spat out a mouthful of dark, clotted blood.

As she lay flat, the blood couldn't flow away and instead pooled back into her throat, choking her.

Katie coughed violently, her arms turning a deep purple, obviously in severe distress from choking.

After the severe fall, her body was completely immobilized, unable to move at all.

She attempted to curse, opening her mouth, but only a hoarse, dry sound escaped.

More blood surged, the clotted mass choking her further, invading her windpipe.

Her coughs continued, with white foam forming at her mouth's corners, and the sounds of her coughing grew fainter. Her hands pounded the floor as if seeking assistance.

But the building was eerily silent, save for the unconscious man under Lorenzo's leadership.
