“Why are you getting so worked up?”

“I’m just disgusted! So what? I’m not allowed to be?”

A companion nearby teased, “Her fiancé cheated on her with some hostess, so now she thinks every woman looks like a ‘professional.”

The woman, named Quinny, continued her tirade. “Who would even want someone like that? Dark–skinned, not even a bit of fair skin on her. That face has to be plastic. If I went under the knife, I’d be ten times prettier than her, yet she’s acting all innocent!”

“Plastic surgery?”

“Oh, absolutely. She’s dark and ugly!”

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them.

“I’m dark? I’m ugly?”

Quinny reflexively replied, “Yeah!”

As the words left her mouth, she noticed the horrified expressions on her friends‘ faces. The voice sounded unfamiliar. She slowly turned around.

Slap!

The sharp sound of a palm hitting flesh echoed through the room. Quinny’s face burned with instant pain as her cheek began to swell.

“Calling me ugly?”

Slap.

Another one.

Quinny let out a piercing shriek. “What are you doing! How dare you hit me!”

“Calling me dark?”

Slap.

A third strike.

“Calling me a whore?”

Slap, slap. A left–right combination followed.

Quinny’s face bloated into a bruised mess. She clutched her head, trying to dodge while screaming for help. “Someone help me! She’s attacking me!”

Pia!

Tammy delivered a backhanded blow that sent the woman sprawling to the floor. Quinny’s companions finally snapped out of their shock and tried to step in, but they were frozen by Tammy’s cold, predatory grin.

The sight was terrifying. It was clear she would strike anyone who got too close. Looking at Quinny’s ruined face and Tammy’s large, powerful palms, they pulled their hands back in fear.

“Call the police!”

Quinny burst into tears from the pain and scrambled to her feet, running blindly toward the exit. “Help! Help me! Someone’s trying to kill me!”

Tammy’s brow quirked. “You think you can run?”

She

gave chase like a whirlwind. She had no patience for delayed vengeance; if she was wronged, she settled it then and there.

Quinny bolted through the restaurant, frantic and directionless. Every time she looked back and saw the relentless, haunting figure of Tammy pursuing her, her heart nearly stopped.

“Help! Murder! Someone help!”

The chase threw the entire establishment into chaos. Spotting a server, Quinny lunged toward them for protection. “She’s a killer! Call the police! Call them now!”

But a regular server was no match for a furious Tammy. She looked like a demon as she roared, “Move!”

She brought her hand down on a heavy antique side table nearby. The server watched in horror as the solid wood table split clean in two under the force of her palm.

Holy shit! Is she even human?

The server’s instinct to help evaporated instantly. They ducked out of the way, terrified of becoming the next target. No one dared to intervene.,

Quinny was pale with terror as she continued her desperate sprint. But her stamina was a joke compared to Tammy’s. Tammy lunged from behind, pinning her to the floor.

She delivered several more rapid–fire slaps. Quinny’s face was now a shapeless mass, her hair matted and wild. She looked like a derelict.

The surrounding guests were horrified, gasping and whispering as they watched the spectacle. Just as Tammy was about to deliver a final blow and get up, her wrist was seized in an iron grip.

She roared in fury, “Who dares touch–Lucas?”

Lucas held her wrist firmly, his expression dark with restrained anger. “What are you doing!”

“Let go! I have one slap left!”

Tammy was a woman of exact debts. She was fair; she counted exactly how many insults the woman had spat and intended to match them with slaps. She was one short. Once that was done, the debt would be settled.

Seeing that Lucas was still blocking her, she grew impatient. “Let go! I don’t want to hurt you by mistake!”

Lucas didn’t budge. His tone was stern and unyielding. “What is wrong with you? This is a public place. Stop this madness!”

“I’m not being mad! Let go!”

“You’ve beaten her into this state and you say you’re not being mad?”

Seeing a man had arrived who could save her, Quinny scrambled up and hid behind Lucas. “Sir! Save me! She’s insane! She’s trying to kill me!”

The more Quinny talked, the angrier Tammy became. “You’re lying!”

“She just attacked me out of nowhere! She insulted me and beat me! Look at my face–she did this! She attacked others too! Sir, please help me! She must be mentally ill!”

Tammy was so enraged she nearly fainted. Although she understood the language now, her tongue wasn’t fast enough to argue. She could only repeat, “You’re talking nonsense! I’ll kill you!”

She raised a fist to strike again.

The guests began to point and jeer. Almost everyone was looking at them with judgment.

“Where did this crazy woman come from? So arrogant, hitting people like that!”

“Why do they let riff–raff like this in here? Where are the guards? I’ve lost my appetite!”

“Call the police. That poor woman is a mess. It’s tragic.”

“Tsk, even looking at it hurts!”

“She’s so pretty, what a shame she’s a lunatic.”

“Wait… that man looks familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before.”
