Chapter 4

[I take my comment back. This is the strongest female I’ve ever seen!]

[She’s so cute, but damn, she’s fierce!]

The males in the restaurant stayed frozen in place, unsure of what to do. Astraea, meanwhile, yelped in pain when Nyx gripped her wrist.

Nyx released her, but Astraea wasn’t done yet. She glared at Nyx and tried to kick her.

Nyx dodged effortlessly. Astraea’s foot swung through empty air, throwing her off balance, and she tumbled forward in a very ungraceful heap.

By now, the livestream’s viewership had skyrocketed, far surpassing the usual numbers for top streamers. The streamer, torn between fear and greed, kept filming despite the chaos.

More viewers were drawn in by the commotion. What they saw completely surprised them.

[Am I hallucinating, or are two females really fighting?!]

[That’s not a fight. It’s called self–defense.]

[But wasn’t Astraea trying to hit Zayne first?]

Zayne was a male, and in this society, males were at the bottom of the food chain. If a female hit a male, he had to take it. If he dared fight back, he’d be slapped with assault charges and spend at least ten years in prison.

Astraea, furious after her double humiliation, finally remembered she wasn’t alone. She turned to her companions and shouted, “You’re just gonna sit there and watch me get bullied?!”

They were two secondary consorts Astraea had just taken, a pair of brothers. The two of them seemed awkward now and hesitated.

As Astraea’s consorts, they were supposed to defend her, to fight for her honor.

But the person standing opposite Astraea was another female, a more petite and delicate female who radiated an air of vulnerability.

Even if they were willing to risk the consequences of hitting a female, they couldn’t bring themselves to raise a hand against Nyx. She looked too fragile, like she might break if they even tried.

Seeing their hesitation, Astraea took a shaky breath and burst into tears.
