Thud.!
Lizbeth's punch packed a hit, and it emitted a dull thud when it struck Jason.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she abruptly felt herself going weightless.
Blanching, she turned her gaze to Jason, only to see that he wasn't affected in the least. Her punch earlier seemingly had no effect on him.
“He trained in Impenetrable Skill, so how could that ineffectual blow of yours make him lose the ability to move?” Jared explained upon glimpsing the bafflement in her eyes.
The moment Lizbeth heard him, her expression turned as grim as ever. She swiftly grabbed Jason's wrist with a hand and twisted hard so that he would release her. Alas, no matter how much strength she exerted, she couldn't budge him.
“Buzz off!”
With a roar, Jason flung her away mercilessly.
“Ahh!” Lizbeth shrieked as she flew toward the wall at the side.
If I were to hit the wall, I'm going to suffer several broken bones even if I don't die!
When she was about to slam against the wall, Jared leaped up and snatched her out of the air. With a hard tug, he yanked her into his embrace.
Hugging her tight, he landed on the ground steadily.
Lizbeth breathed a long sigh of relief. But the second she sensed the heat emanating from him, she instantly snapped back to her senses. Her face flaming, she hissed, “Place me down, quick!”
Jared hurriedly put her down before clarifying with a mortified expression, “I wasn't trying to take advantage of you on purpose!”
Naturally, Lizbeth knew that he didn't do that deliberately but to save her. Despite that, men and women should maintain a distance between them. With a crowd there especially, she still went bright red in embarrassment at the inadvertent hug.
“Kid, you can continue flirting in hell!”
