"You…" Zyler was instantly furious.
What audacity Hera had to call him crazy!
Not only did he not move away from Hera, but he also snarled out, "I'll have you know that I have witnesses who saw all the despicable things you did in the past! Just you wait, Hera Youngworth! I'll definitely expose your true colors in front of Chris—"
"Shut up!"
Hera raised her right hand impatiently, revealing a silver needle which was trapped between her fingers. She wasted no time in stabbing Zyler's neck, where the GV 15 acupuncture point was.
Her actions were swift and decisive. By the time Zyler registered her actions, he was shocked that he couldn't emit a sound despite having opened his mouth.
He widened his eyes while rubbing his throat. Still, he couldn't let out a sound.
Zyler grabbed Hera by the shoulders, mouthing angrily, "What have you done to me?"
"If I see you complaining again, I don't mind sealing your voice permanently!" Hera snapped impatiently.
Zyler was shell-shocked, to say the least.
What sort of voodoo magic did that country bumpkin cast on him? How was he unable to speak?
He needed her to undo whatever magic that was right away.
So, Zyler continued gripping Hera's shoulders and screamed silently at her.
"Zyler, what are you doing to Hera?" Coincidentally, Christopher showed up at that moment.
He rushed forward quickly to shove Zyler away from Hera. Then, he turned to look at her worriedly. "Are you alright?"
Zyler didn't expect Christopher to appear at this time. He was very sure that Christopher must have misunderstood him.
Right now, Christopher was clearly head over heels for Hera. If she were to lie to Christopher about what happened, he'd definitely misunderstand Zyler even more.
That meant Zyler's chances of patching things up with Christopher would decrease significantly, and subsequently, he would lose his spot on the guaranteed admission list.
Zyler wanted to explain his side of the story, yet he couldn't make any sounds.
"It was nothing. He was telling me that he could carry my package for me," Hera said coolly.
Upon hearing the excuse, the furious Zyler turned to stare at Hera in astonishment. He didn't expect her to defend him.
He knew it! She had feelings for him!
