It was just two fish, and the fine wouldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars. However, the security guard wasn’t letting Quinlyn and Zane off easily–he had been playing cards all night, lost some money, and was now on edge.

He snorted. “You think you can do whatever you want just because you have money? I’m telling you, even money won’t work. You brat, what are you looking at? Keep looking and I’ll teach you a lesson!”

‘Wanna intimate me with money? No way. And how dare the little brat stare at me like this?‘ The security guard was unhappy, and he took out his baton from his waist, wanting to intimidate them.

But as soon as he raised his stick, he felt an immense force hit his face and sent him flying. Zane, who had been reasoning with him just a second ago, pounced on him and rained punches down on him.

Quinlyn paused for a moment before rushing over to pull Zane off the security guard, who was covered in blood and nearly

unconscious.

She immediately called the bodyguards over and helped Zane up. “Let’s go,” she said softly.

Zane’s face was grim. He went to the ice hole, washed the blood off his hands, and released his fish. Then he picked up Quinlyn’s fish and slowly walked back into the woods.

The campsite was far away, and Cher hadn’t heard anything. Still, she sensed something was wrong as they approached. “There was a fight?” she asked.

Zane and Quinlyn both stiffened, then nodded in unison.

“I started the fight.”

“Zane was protecting me.”

Quinlyn explained what happened and looked at Cher’s face. Even though it was self–defense, it was definitely excessive. As a judge, Cher would surely notice.

However, Cher just nodded without comment. With her usual expression, she told them to change and get ready for the picnic.

That struck Quinlyn as odd. ‘From the thief earlier to the retaliatory pebbles on the doorstep, and now Zane’s actions–none of them seems like something a judge would tolerate. What does evil judge even mean?‘
