Lina was momentarily stunned. She saw Zuko’s gaze with a hint of rebellion and disdain for everything shining through. In that instant, she not only felt safe but also filled with courage. As long as he was by her side, it was as if she could walk the path without hesitation, even if it was full of thorns ahead.

“Zeke!” Violet screamed hysterically, “Who do you think you are? How dare you help this b*tch against me? Have you considered the consequences?”

“Consequences?” Zuko sneered, his lips curling. “Ms. Grist, I didn’t receive much education, so I don’t know how to write the word ‘consequences.’ Can you teach me?”

“You—”

“And!” Zuko’s gaze darkened as he approached her step by step. “If you dare to disrespect Lina again with your filthy mouth, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
