"You!"
Watching Ning Feng leisurely lead the two of them and follow the maid, Anthony's expression twisted, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Anthony's forward momentum was forcefully pulled back, and he turned around sharply, glaring angrily at the person who was blocking his way.
"Don't pull me!"
Snap!
The loud, clear sound echoed in the dimly lit, completed corridor, completely shattering Anthony's roar.
The voice that rang in his ears was so unfamiliar that Anthony froze, his eccentric expression blank.
In disbelief, she raised her hand to touch her left cheek, savoring the lingering sensation.
Um! ?
Watching Sophie slowly withdraw her right hand, it took Anthony a long time to understand what had happened in that instant.
It seems like I... was slapped?
He was with his fiancée.
Sophie was just an ordinary person, a noble socialite who couldn't even kill a chicken, while Anthony was a fourth-tier melee awakener.
Logically speaking, a slap shouldn't have caused him much harm.
Melee Awakeners are no strangers to pain, but this humiliating act is an injury on another level.
The pain was negligible, but the magical damage inflicted by this action far exceeded the original amount.
Too many to list!
His eyes widened, he was dazed for a moment, and then looked at Sophie and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"You hit me? Even my father never hit me?"
Muttering to himself, the veins on Anthony's forehead throbbed, and his breathing became heavy and alarming.
"You hit me for him?!"
You actually slapped me for a man?!
"you……"
Snap!
Same location, but with greater force and faster speed.
"you……"
Snap!
The two consecutive slaps silenced Anthony's already heightened anger, plunging him into a deathly stillness.
Anthony: ...Hmm?
My mind seems to have gone blank... What happened?
Before his mind could even process what was happening, his body moved on its own, gripping Sophie's neck and slamming her against the wall.
boom.
He raised his right hand high, as if he was about to slap the opponent hard in the next second.
With his power, this palm strike would have nothing to do with Sophie, who was just an ordinary person, except to have her head smashed.
Even though her body was lifted up and she was suffocating, Sophie did not lose her composure.
Seeing her fiancé gradually sinking into thought, Sophie spoke coldly:
Are you planning to kill me?
“Anthony Yin Lai”.
!
!
Upon hearing this address, Anthony felt a chill run down his spine, the bloodshot in his eyes faded slightly, and his raised arm paused.
Full name...
A woman is calling my full name!
Danger!
A habitual unease brought Anthony back to his senses, and he looked at the woman he was holding in his hand.

winter.
Because Anthony suddenly let go, Sophie lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Cough cough..."
She raised her hand and rubbed her neck, which had developed faint bruises. Looking up at Anthony, who stood frozen in place, she said calmly:
Have you calmed down now?
Anthony's hand trembled slightly, and he took a step back, terrified of what he had just been about to do.
Did I just try to kill Sophie?
He killed his childhood sweetheart and fiancée?
With difficulty, Sophie leaned against the wall and stood up, saying softly:
"Calm down. That wasn't your fault. You're not behaving normally right now."
Even if her fiancé is disgraceful in his private life, he is still the legitimate heir of a great noble family, and his upbringing and education will certainly not be lacking.
Judging from his behavior just now, he showed no signs of composure whatsoever; he was exactly like a madman with bipolar disorder.
Based on her understanding and investigation of Anthony over the years, Sophie knew very well the character of her childhood sweetheart.
Anthony may be arrogant and conceited, and may not be very clever or quick-witted in many political situations, but he is definitely not a brainless idiot.
The events had happened so suddenly that Sophie and Ning Feng hadn't even exchanged pleasantries before Anthony rushed up to her and confronted Ning Feng.
He completely shielded her behind him, glaring angrily at Ning Feng as he approached, as if he were facing a threatening force that might take her away from him.
This is very abnormal.
Ning Feng and Anthony had never crossed paths or had any conflicts, so Anthony's actions were highly unusual.
"Calmly recall, what kind of feeling did you experience just now?"
"Feeling? I just... Ah!"
Upon reflection, a soft laugh echoed in his mind, followed by a sharp pain as if his brains were being pierced, causing Anthony to let out a scream.
winter.
Anthony knelt down heavily, clutching his head, his face turning pale.
"...I feel he is very dangerous, extremely dangerous."
"We can't let him get close."
The man exuded an aura of repulsion and resistance, making him both dangerous and terrifying.
It's a very strange feeling that a fourth-tier arcane knight would experience such fear.
Perhaps, just as Sophie said, something is very wrong with him right now.
Something was subtly controlling his thoughts, constantly influencing him, but it only erupted in that instant.
"There's something..."
