Lorna's Fight

When the crisis struck, Lorna immediately used her abilities to control the shrapnel flying towards them, while also manipulating the iron plates of the jeep to shield them from the explosion flames and shockwaves, protecting Zane and Anna. As for the two soldiers, they were instantly killed in the explosion.

Lorna, deeply tense, had no time to care about them. As for Zane, who had the ability to save them, he claimed he had no relationship with them. Keeping them here would only be a burden. Zane could care less about them!

Watching Lorna gasping for breath and Anna still in shock, Zane smiled slightly. In fact, he had already detected the presence of the Ten Rings, but this was a trial he had arranged for Lorna. He wouldn't intervene unless it was an emergency. Lorna didn't disappoint him. Although she didn't immediately control the artillery shell, she emerged unscathed.

"It's up to you now. I'll be waiting for you on the mountaintop."

With that, Zane patted Lorna's shoulder, grabbed Anna, and teleported to the nearby mountaintop, overlooking the entire battlefield while keeping an eye on Lorna's movements. With Bastis protecting Tony Stark, he didn't need to worry about him.

Standing on the mountaintop, with the wind howling and messing up Anna's carefully groomed hair, she hesitated for a moment before voicing her doubts.

"Boss, why didn't you take Lorna with us?"

Zane didn't turn his head, staring closely at Lorna on the battlefield, his nerves tense, ready to teleport over to rescue her at any moment.

"Eaglets must learn to fly on their own!"

Anna nodded as if she understood, no longer saying anything, quietly standing there, her gaze complex as she looked down at the blazing battlefield below.

For the past five years, Anna had been the only outsider able to freely enter and exit Zane's villa. No one understood Zane's feelings for Lorna better than her. Since Zane had made this decision, there must be a reason. She just needed to do her own job well. Smart Anna never interfered with Zane's decisions, which was why she had grown from a mere life assistant to the deputy general manager.

There were plenty of capable people in the United States, but few were as smart and free from ill intentions as Anna. He was glad she was one of them.

As for Lorna, left behind by Zane on the battlefield, suddenly finding herself alone without Zane by her side, she felt a sense of insecurity, as if she had lost her support. But she quickly took a few deep breaths to adjust her mindset, activated her abilities to tear off the iron plates from the jeep, and then controlled the metal to fly around her body.

This was what Zane had taught her. In battle, someone as fragile as her absolutely couldn't stand idly by, without any defensive measures. That would be like telling the enemy, "I'm easy to kill, come and get me!" In fact, Zane didn't understand why those people in Marvel who had amazing abilities but bodies similar to ordinary people always acted recklessly, just like brutes.

For example, Storm, with such amazing abilities, controlling the weather, but acting like a fool, only using hurricanes to fly into the air and then unleash her powers, as if anyone could fly. Probably any person who could teleport could teleport next to her with an ordinary dagger and easily kill her.

Most people didn't understand the concept of not setting up walls under the eaves.[1]

Zane wouldn't let Lorna be like that. So the first lesson she practiced with him was to teleport behind her and directly stab her with a rubber dagger, just to make her remember this lesson. Now it seemed to have had a significant effect.

On the battlefield, Lorna didn't need to deliberately use her abilities to stop the flying bullets. They were all blocked by the rapidly spinning iron plates surrounding her, allowing Lorna to focus on killing enemies.

On the mountaintop, Zane saw that Lorna didn't panic but calmly began to test the results of her hard training one by one. He could finally relax a little.

He saw Lorna's fingers surrounded by a dark green halo, standing on a circular iron plate only a millimeter thick, flying over the battlefield, controlling the metal to kill members of the Ten Rings one by one. The wind brought by the high-speed flight made Lorna's dark green hair dance in the air, revealing her incredibly delicate face, especially the sharp and cold light in her eyes, unprecedentedly sharp and ruthless, like a killing goddess descended to the earth! She looked amazing!

On the mountaintop, Zane used the power of faith to enhance his eyesight, seeing Lorna's heroic appearance, wishing he could go down and hug her right now and announce to the world that this beautiful woman is my, Zane's, woman and future wife!

With the ability to control metal, Lorna was the death goddess on the modern battlefield. In no time, she slaughtered all the members of the Ten Rings, leaving only three tanks firing at her in the wilderness. Of course, the shells they fired were easily diverted by Lorna's magnetic power.

Instead of directly controlling the metal inside the tanks to kill the drivers, Lorna manipulated the metal on the battlefield to condense into a spherical metal ball, then exerted all her strength to compress and increase its density until it was the size of a human head.

Then Lorna controlled this metal ball to fly in the opposite direction of the tanks until it reached the boundary of her ability to control. Then she built a magnetic field similar to a channel between the metal ball and the three tanks. Of course, this channel was invisible to ordinary humans and could only be detected by instruments.
