:

The cooks from the kitchen stormed out, each waving around a giant fork.

The Monterra soldiers just stared in stunned silence.

A black fork shot out like an arrow loose from a bow. Everyone heard a sharp scream as it stabbed straight into the foot of the Monterra soldier who’d kicked the door, piercing right through his heavy military boot.

Sebastian didn’t even look up. “Who told you to kick doors open?”

His voice was low and icy, with a dangerous edge.

“Oh! Shit! Sebastian, it’s you!” The Monterra soldier’s mind raced. ‘No wonder these Clusia guys are acting like they’re fired up; the Grim Reaper himself is here!’ To them, Sebastian was death incarnate.

Stella noticed Sebastian only had one fork left, frowned in annoyance, and got up to fetch him a fresh one.

Stella spoke up, her voice icy and distant. “You got business with me or what?”

She spun and flipped the last black fork between her slender fingers, showing off some slick moves like it was second nature.

“You hurt my brother!” The leader was Casper’s younger brother, his blue eyes full of cold, vicious hatred. Casper was the top sniper in the assault team, but now he’s been completely taken out, arms and legs shattered.

Stella arched an eyebrow. “So what?”

“So?” Bill, blond and blue-eyed, glared at her. “Only your death can pay for this!”

Stella shot him a look, then cracked a grin. “Vincent.”

Vincent called out, “Here!”

Stella said, “Tell him about Barrett’s record!”

Vincent raised his voice. “Barrett, captain of the Third Unit of Red Shadow, has earned one first-class merit, four second-class merits, eleven third-class merits, and more medals than you can count…” He kept listing Barrett’s achievements, his eyes getting redder and redder as he spoke.

Barrett’s hands and feet weren’t wrecked on the battlefield-they got ruined by that bastard.

“Did

you catch all that?” Stella stared Bill down, her eyes just as fierce and deadly as his.

They messed up someone like Barrett-if they weren’t still on the training field, they wouldn’t even be standing here right now.

Without anyone noticing, the peregrine falcon suddenly burst out of Sebastian’s chest pocket and landed squarely on Stella’s shoulder.

Its tiny eyes gleamed with a cold, menacing light.

It looked like it was ready to rip a piece of flesh off someone at any moment.

Bill sneered. “On the battlefield, it’s not about achievements; it’s about who’s got the biggest fist!” Clearly, he didn’t give a damn about Barrett’s record. If anything, he looked down on it.

This wasn’t just about Barrett; it was a slap in the face to all of Clusia.

“You’re right. On the battlefield, it’s all about fists, not medals. So your brother got his ass handed to him by me, and now you want me dead for it? Did your brain short-circuit or something?” Stella tapped her forehead, her voice laced with biting sarcasm.

Behind her, everyone in the mess hall burst out laughing, the whole place practically shaking with it.

The head cook was laughing the loudest, waving his fork around. “Looks like I need to dish out extra pig brains for them-gotta eat what you’re missing, right?”

Bill’s fists were so tight that he looked ready to throw down.

Bill yelled, “You Clusia people are shameless, sneaky, and devious!” He smashed his fist into the table, leaving a crater that made everyone stare. He thought that would put Stella in her place.

The very next second, another fist slammed down right next to it.

Stella didn’t even flinch. She snorted coldly, “Wrong. We Clusia folks are hardworking, brave, and smart!”

The table, unable to handle the force, collapsed under the strain!

Lucas’s eyes lit up as he applauded, pure worship for Stella written all over his face!

Unfazed, Emily grabbed another piece of meat and stuffed it in her mouth.

‘That’s good!’ she thought to herself.

The Monterra soldiers just stared in stunned silence.

They stared at the collapsed table, unable to believe what they were seeing.

“Are you hurt?” Sebastian frowned, his eyes locked in her hand. Even the plain plant in the flowerpot stretched its leaves out, craning for a peek, but Allan quickly shoved it back down, telling it not to draw attention.

The plain plant was internally screaming in frustration.

Stella just waved him off, showing she was perfectly fine.

Bill’s face went bright red from all the roasting, and he totally snapped. He dug out a bottle of pale blue liquid from his camo pocket and started guzzling it like there was no tomorrow.

“Bill!” his teammates yelled, totally freaked out.

‘Crap! Nobody’s supposed to see that stuff!’ panic shot through their minds.

The moment Bill whipped out that pale blue liquid, Stella and Sebastian’s faces fell instantly.

“Crap!” Allan jumped up, scooped Lucas under one arm and grabbed the plain plant with the other, retreating three tables back in a flash. Emily was just as fast, grabbing her plate and rushing over to Allan.

Allan and Lucas looked at her, stunned.

Emily thought, ‘Hey, don’t judge! Even cute girls can’t stand being hungry!’

After Bill chugged the liquid, his muscles ballooned and his veins popped out like cables. Sebastian shouted, “Ms. Carter, watch out! That’s the same crap they used to mess Barrett up!”

Turns out, it wasn’t the Monterra guys getting stronger; it was all because of that drug.

Stella frowned, seeing the old-timers about to rush in to help her. “Fall back! Protect Sebastian!” She barely got the words out before Bill’s fist came hurtling toward her.

Stella dodged in a flash, but Bill didn’t give her a second to breathe; his next punch was already swinging right at her.

His face was twisted like a demon from hell. Lucas yelled out a warning, but Stella hesitated for just a split second, and Bill’s punch whipped past, splitting the skin at the corner of her right eye.

Lucas’s eyes shook, and tears burst out right away.

Stella touched the corner of her right eye, then flashed an icy, devilish smirk; her whole vibe shifted in an instant, like she’d become a different person. She caught Sebastian’s clenched fists in her peripheral vision and shot him a look. “Sebastian, I’m fine!

“But now, he’s the one who’s in for it!”

Sebastian’s eyes stayed locked on the cut at the corner of her eye, his voice icy enough to freeze water. “If you kill him, I’ll take the blame.”

Stella held his gaze for a long moment. “Alright.”

Without a word, Allan covered Lucas’s eyes.

When Bill’s fist flew at Stella’s face again, she calmly caught it with her left hand. A cold smile stayed on her lips. But his strength forced her backward, sliding until her heels nearly hit the wall.

Then, in a flash, Stella kicked off the wall, braced her hand on Bill’s arm, and vaulted herself up and over him. All Bill could see was Stella coming at him, bigger and bigger, and then, a crisp snap echoed in his ears,

Stella landed lightly behind Bill with her back to him.

Bill stood frozen in place, still locked in his attack stance, like he’d been turned to stone. The mess hall was dead silent, not a single word spoken.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to Bill.

“Bill?” one of his teammates shouted, panic creeping into his voice.

Bill just stood there, facing the wall, not budging an inch.

“Bill?” his teammate called out again, louder this time.

Even with just his back showing, Bill looked like a freaking bull-but he still didn’t move a single muscle.

Realizing something was seriously off, one of Bill’s Monterra teammates shoved through the crowd and rushed over. When he got to Bill, he found him standing there, hand still up in the air, eyes totally vacant- just staring at the wall, not even blinking once.

“Bill…” the teammate said, putting a hand on his shoulder.

But something unexpected happened.
