Everyone was caught off guard. No one expected that Rhett would be impatient enough to attack Hera.

He was about to wrap his thin hands around Hera's slender neck when she leaned back. She instantly held a silver needle between her fingertips as she mercilessly pierced it into his wrist.

Rhett paused before hurriedly retracting his hand with a terrifying scream.
