"Watch your mouth!" Lysander's voice rose in anger, his words laced with fury.

Susan really had no idea what she was messing with, spewing such venom at Thalassa! Every word she said was a direct hit to Lysander's breaking point. Thalassa's life was something he had fought tooth and nail for, and no one had the right to hurt her.

No sooner had Lysander's words faded than a bodyguard grabbed Susan by the hair, delivering two sharp slaps that whipped her head violently to one side.

Pain exploded in Susan's jaw like a bone had snapped, agony so intense it felt like her brain would burst. Her twisted neck sent waves of pain so severe it felt like her head might fall off, sweeping through her nerves. Susan cried out in agony, "Ah, it hurts so much!"

"Vigilante justice? You clearly have no idea of the sins you've committed!" David snorted coldly.
