This... were those words Robin had spoken? She actually suggested crippling Harrison? Heavens above, suggesting she’d cripple Harrison—surely I misheard?

It wasn't just Betty who was stunned; the surrounding students were frozen stiff, murmuring amongst themselves.

"Hey, who is this little girl? Seriously bold, daring to challenge Harrison!"

"Did I hear that right? This little girl said she’s going to cripple Harrison? She said she’ll cripple him??"

"This is it for her; I bet this little girl is in for some serious trouble!"

"Heh, I bet Angelia will have to step in this time. If she doesn't say something soon, Harrison is going to explode!"

"..."

In an instant, the area dissolved into a chaotic buzz of whispers.

Yet, to everyone's astonishment, not only did Angelia say nothing, but her expression remained utterly placid, an unmistakable look of 'not my business,' leaving everyone profoundly perplexed!

"Angelia, hurry up and talk to Robin! She might listen to you now! Tell her to let go!!" Betty urged anxiously.

Angelia glanced at her, offering only a simple, cool sentence as comfort: "Relax, Robin will be fine!"

Betty looked at Angelia in confusion, completely unable to comprehend why Angelia was so composed. Wasn't she worried about Robin getting into trouble?

However, what nobody realized was that among all those present, Harrison himself was the most deeply shaken.

The instant Robin uttered those words, Harrison distinctly felt the pressure on his hand multiply several times over, giving him the horrifying sensation that his wrist was about to snap.

Furthermore, in that very moment, a strange force snaked along his wrist and burrowed into his body. This power was like a wild, untamed horse—charging recklessly—causing a turbulent surge of vital energy within him, resulting in an internal injury.

Harrison forcibly swallowed back the blood that was about to erupt, but this only exacerbated his injury!

Who is she? Harrison looked at Robin in sheer terror.

Is she a monster? What exactly did she just do to me??

"I'm busy; don't waste my time!" Robin stated again, her voice icy, her eyes seeming to radiate a chilling gleam.

Harrison never expected Robin to have picked up Zhong Shenxiu's catchphrase!

Harrison’s brow visibly tightened because Robin had increased the pressure again. Harrison could even hear the faint, sickening sound of bone grinding under strain!

Perhaps some might ask now: Is Harrison an idiot? Why isn't he fighting back?

The truth was, it wasn't that Harrison didn't want to retaliate; it was simply that he absolutely dared not.

After all, Harrison was considered a master, and every master possesses a highly attuned sixth sense. Harrison’s sixth sense screamed a single directive: Do not make a rash move!

Harrison had an unshakable feeling that if he moved even slightly rashly, that hand—along with his entire arm—would be instantly ruined!

Even Harrison himself couldn't fathom why he held such a conviction, yet the thought remained perfectly clear!

"I apologize!" To everyone’s complete shock, Harrison actually capitulated under Robin’s overwhelming dominance!

At this, the students who had been loudly gossiping instantly fell silent, every single one staring at Harrison with expressions of utter disbelief, wondering if their ears had deceived them!

Harrison’s surrender was a move born of absolute necessity. When one is trapped beneath the eaves, one must bow their head; if he had continued to act tough, Robin would have crushed his wrist in moments!

Robin finally released Harrison’s wrist, stating flatly, "Don't be so arrogant in the future; you lack the foundation for such arrogance!"

Harrison hastily shoved his hand into his pocket, unwilling to let anyone see the vivid palm print branding his wrist!

Harrison finally left. Robin resumed eating her meal as if nothing unusual had occurred, while the surrounding students remained standing there, looking lost!

"Everyone, stop staring!" Angelia finally spoke, her eyes sweeping sharply over the onlookers.

Angelia's words carried weight. Though the students still wished to gaze upon Robin's remarkable bearing, they had no choice but to depart! (Even though Angelia was generally neither arrogant nor overbearing, when roused, she was undeniably terrifying!)

After a long moment, Betty seemed to return to herself, taking a deep, shuddering breath. "Good heavens! Today I actually witnessed what a miracle is; this is simply unbelievable!!"

Neither Angelia nor Robin looked her way, treating her outburst as if she were having a nervous fit.

"Hey, Angelia, I realized today that your mental fortitude is incredible. You nearly gave me a heart attack just now," Betty said, patting her barely moving chest with an air of feigned fright.

Angelia merely glanced at her, then looked down at Robin and asked, "Is that enough to eat? If not, I'll get another serving!"

"It's about enough!" Robin replied coolly.

"Angelia, don't ignore me!" Betty complained, slightly indignant.

"Oh, you’re still here? I thought you’d already left!" Angelia shot back with dry sarcasm, clearly in a good mood now.

"Angelia, you’re taking advantage of your position!"

Angelia just smiled, neither admitting nor denying the charge!

Betty was prepared to ignore Angelia, but after a while, her curiosity got the better of her. She couldn't help but ask, "Angelia, I have a question for you, and you can't ignore me this time!"

"What is it?"

"If Harrison had tried to attack Robin, would you have stepped in to help?" Betty looked at Angelia with genuine seriousness.

"No!!"

"You said you wouldn't?" Betty nearly jumped to her feet. She had been mentally constructing vivid scenarios of a massive fight between Angelia and Harrison, only to be met with this answer.

Angelia smiled again, offering no explanation. Only she knew that if Harrison had truly attacked Robin, the fight would have concluded in a single instant, leaving no opening whatsoever for her intervention!

Meanwhile, Harrison had gone straight to the infirmary!

Just moments ago, he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, and the wrist he held throbbed with an unbearable, searing pain!

"Oh? Isn't this Harrison? What's wrong, feeling unwell?" the teacher on duty in the infirmary, Teacher Ai Mo, asked with surprise.

"I accidentally twisted my wrist just now," Harrison said, supporting the excruciatingly painful wrist with his other hand.

"Let me see!"

Harrison complied, offering his hand.

"This... this... this is..."

Ai Mo abruptly shot up from his chair, staring in horror at the shocking, crimson palm print imprinted on Harrison's wrist!
