I tried to resist, but it was futile. Even though anger surged through my body, giving energy, I couldn't do anything. All my strength wasn't even close to enough to cause any damage.
It was almost humiliating how easily Thomas beat up. I wanted so badly to hit him, to take out all my frustration, but I was simply incapable of it.
"What do you think you're doing?" Then a kick interrupted my pain and saved .
I barely managed to keep up with what was happening, but I saw a flash of white hair before I fell to the ground and hit my head hard.
My vision blurred for a mont, but I quickly regained sight of the fight happening in front of .
Dazed from the first blow, Thomas was imdiately hit by another kick from Lila, which he barely managed to block at the last second.
"Who are you? Think you can just go around attacking people like that?"
"I'm just doing what you were doing," she said coldly, her expression terrifying.
Thomas charged at her, shouting that he wasn't going to hold back just because she was a girl, but that didn't help him at all, as she easily dodged his punches.
With ease, Lila danced around him, making him lose balance with each exaggerated punch, and with a perfect dodge, she sidestepped his next attack, leaving her foot out so he'd trip.
Ridiculously, without even using her hands, Lila completely humiliated Thomas.
But that wasn't enough for his hot-headedness, as he tried once more to hit her, this ti aiming for her back.
Of course, that didn't work. Annoyed, Lila decided to teach him a lesson with brute force. With one hand, she caught his punch, then squeezed his fist so hard he scread like a little girl.
Finally, she grabbed him by the neck with one hand and lifted him up, applying enough pressure to choke him. For a mont, I was scared she might kill him—her expression was so cold and terrifying, even I trembled a bit in fear.
"Never touch the people I care about again," she glanced at for a mont, "don't start unnecessary fights, and don't attack people from behind. If I hear about you using violence again, I'll hunt you down no matter where you are."
Her tone was so serious and icy that even people who had nothing to do with the situation seed to shudder in fear.
Her gaze was cold, soulless. Seeing that, I finally understood what they ant by a killer's stare and bloodlust in novels. And it's sothing much scarier to witness in person.
Shaking with fear, Thomas pulled out his wallet and handed money to Lila, desperately hoping it would save him. She looked a little surprised, then sighed in disappointnt at his weakness. Finally, with a cold look, she said:
"Just get out of my sight and go live your pathetic life." She let him go carelessly, causing him to fall to the ground in terror.
He started shaking right there, and soon a puddle ford beneath him. The unpleasant sll of urine quickly confird everyone's suspicions.
All around, I saw caras and fingers pointing at the scene. I also heard a few laughs at the pathetic display.
In no ti, this would hit the internet, and it would be a huge humiliation for soone as proud as Thomas. But as quickly as sothing goes viral, it gets forgotten, and this event would soon be no different.
However, Thomas would never forget the fear he felt that day or how weak he truly was. This trauma would stick with him for the rest of his life, constantly reminding him of his insignificance.
The money wasn't much, but it would be used to buy Lila a basic phone, at least to call and communicate with each other more easily.
"Are you okay?" Lila quickly ca to , showing genuine concern.
Still with a headache, I accepted her help to stand up, then asked why she was at the mall.
As she later explained, she was normally cleaning the house when she suddenly felt my deep anxiety. Since she was bonded to as my servant, she had a natural ability to sense how and where I was or sothing like that.
The point was that after feeling my spike of anxiety, she dropped everything and ca as quickly as possible. By coincidence, she arrived just in ti to give Thomas a good lesson.
As for , after taking such a beating, I realized I needed to learn how to fight. Luckily, I had Lila as soone who could teach a lot about that, since she was a natural-born fighter.
After dealing with that jerk, there was still another challenge.
"Do you two know each other?" Eva tried to hide it, but her jealousy was clear in her gaze.
Now, how was I supposed to explain our relationship? That was a tough question, but I chose to tell the truth, at least partly:
"Well, she's a close friend, and she lives with since rent's expensive. She's the roommate I ntioned." I scratched my neck awkwardly, waiting for her reaction.
"Yes, I guess you could call that," Lila casually comnted.
Eva's expression beca even more filled with jealousy after that comnt, which was expected.
"You really live together, like, a guy and a girl?" She asked shyly, then turned to Lila. "Are you sure you're okay living with a pervert like this guy?"
"Yeah, I'm not worried about that. In fact, I even kind of..." I elbowed her to stop her from talking.
For now, I wanted to keep Eva in a good mood. I decided I'd only ask her out officially, as my second girlfriend, after at least resolving things with her parents and once everything was settled.
Seeing Eva still suspicious, Lila's maternal instincts kicked in, and she smiled, reaching out her hand.
"I'm Lila. Nice to et you! You must be Eva, right?" She flashed a big smile. "I've heard so much about you at ho, and I must say, you're even cuter than I imagined."
Eva, who was weak to complints, softened a bit at that. After a few more minutes of chatting, she was practically purring and asking for affection.
It got too late to continue the date, but at least I managed to achieve a lot.
Lila and Eva got along, at least for now, and I got my revenge on Thomas, leaving with a sweet taste of victory. Overall, it had been a great day.
Back ho, I had a lot of work to do, editing Eva's video, Amber's, studying other things.
As soon as I arrived, I saw a ssage from Isabel, and we exchanged a few words.
She told she had her salon at ho, and I asked so questions, and she explained more about her business. She didn't have much free ti, and she did it more as a hobby. The work barely paid for itself, and since her goal wasn't profit, she only served clients she liked.
Coincidentally, that week she was super busy because a very special client needed her every day. Apparently, it was a very vain woman who wanted her makeup, hair, and more touched up daily.
I wasn't too concerned, but after Isabel criticized my style via text and said she'd have to teach how to look presentable, I felt more inclined to pay attention to fashion. I didn't want to get another scolding like that. Plus, looking better wasn't a bad thing at all.
We wrapped up with so random talk about butterflies, which started when I complinted her butterfly-shaped earrings.
Another person who contacted was Vanessa, but she was more formal and straight to the point. She thanked again, told the police confird the fraud, and said she'd like to see again soti.
I tried to keep the conversation going, but without much success, and it pretty much ended there.
Also, excited about the new microphone, Eva sent several audio tests and ssages. She seed very happy with the gift, which made happy too.
After such a tiring day, I spent so ti relaxing with my beloved Lila before going to sleep.
