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.

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

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

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.
