Chapter 159

He thrashed desperately, and just as he was about to pass out, Cordelia hoisted his head up, then delivered a swift kick to his belly, sending him flying into the wall behind with a thud.

“Bang.” He hit the ground hard, cradling his legs and arms as he rolled in agony, unable to stand.

Still, Cordelia wasn’t satisfied, but she worried that causing a casualty would only complicate matters, so she reluctantly turned away and surveyed her surroundings.

The school had taken numerous precautions to prevent student harm, leaving not a single sharp edge in sight. She searched for a moment before finally grabbing a chair and tugging Merry along, “Let’s go.”

Any guard who dared approach got a taste of her chair, and Cordelia’s method was simple, direct, and effective.

Her strength was formidable, and after being struck, the guards were laid out cold. But there were too many of them, and escaping was proving to be a challenge.

Still, she fought tirelessly, knocking down whoever came her way, until they reached the school gates. The iron gate was now tantalizingly close.

Before they could exit, the headmaster rushed over with backup, “How dare you cause havoc in my school? We’ve called the cops.”

After his declaration, he turned to Merry, “And you, Merry, your parents sent you here to learn, not to get mixed up in this. Tell me, did this woman abduct you? It has nothing to do with you, right?”

Merry froze.

The headmaster glared, sending a shiver down her spine.

She seemed torn but finally spoke to Cordelia, “Lia, just go, please.”

Cordelia was furious. She knew there had to be a reason for Little Parrot’s hesitation, and perhaps the headmaster had something on her, but what could it be that silenced an entire school?
