“Obviously,” Francesca mocked Danrique openly. “I can come and go as I please. The security system in your place is sh*t.”
“Why you little…”
“Did you level them up though?” Francesca demanded. “What is up with all these infrared sensors? And this pool filled with crocodiles? What if I slip and fall into it? They could have eaten me!”
“Hey, I thought you’re the Queen of Beasts,” Zachary piped up.
“If they’re on the land, yeah. Not aquatic creatures.” Francesca shot him a nasty glare and patted her clothes angrily. “Godda*mit. Now my clothes are soiled. Ew, they smell.”
“And that’s why I leveled up the security system and added the beasts you’re scared of. So you won’t trash the place.” Danrique was delighted to see her looking so messy, and he even grinned mischievously. “Now you have nowhere to run.”
He gave his command, and a few female bodyguards surrounded Francesca.
“Don’t you even dare!” Francesca growled ferally. She was about to give the bodyguards a piece of her mind, but instead, they pinned her down and took her backpack away.
“Hey, that’s mine! Give it back to me!” Francesca tried to snatch her backpack back, but the bodyguards were already leaving with it.
“Let’s see if you can pull any tricks without that backpack of yours, Dora.” Danrique sneered, and he inched closer toward Francesca.
“Why you little…” Francesca gnashed her teeth in fury. The Art of War at it again. Know your enemy and yourself, and you won’t lose any battle. I’ve been at odds with this idiot for years. Now he knows everything I have up my sleeve. He knows I keep all my tools and meds in the backpack. I can’t do anything without that.
She lost all the items she brought with her back at the crocodile pool. Even her snake was nowhere to be found. Now she was just a helpless girl who could do nothing against Danrique, but she refused to give up without a fight. She looked around, and to her delight, she noticed two panthers, a tiger, and two eagles in the courtyard.
She whistled to them, trying to wake them up so they could fight for her, but Danrique dashed that hope immediately. “Just give up. They’re deaf. They can’t hear you.”
