q“That's...” Eva felt awkward. She didn't know what to say to that.

Even though they had only met a few times, Francesca already had complete control over her. There was no way for her to disguise herself in front of Francesca.

“Everyone only cares about their personal benefits when it comes to a power struggle. Situations like that don't leave room for relationships or comradery,” Francesca commented seriously. “Doing business is like fighting on a battlefield, where the strong prey on the weak. Reality is very cruel, so if there's a chance to avoid getting involved, why not choose that option?”

“Uhm...” Eva was still struggling to understand what that meant when Francesca was already on her way into the restroom cubicle. She shook her head, ignored what Francesca said, and touched up her makeup by using the mirror in the restroom.

Many years later, she would recall their conversation today and regretted it for not taking Francesca's word to heart.

Francesca was sitting on the toilet as she tried to summon the animals. She failed even after multiple attempts, likely because the distance was too great.

It made her a little sad because she intentionally went to the restroom to summon the animals to help her escape. I guess this isn't going to work. Time for another plan.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, she heard a scream coming from the outside.

It stunned her for a second before she rushed out to check what was going on.

It turned out there was a bug crawling on the mirror. Eva was so freaked out by it that she screamed.
