“Next time, if I see any of you blocking me again, it won’t be just an hour. I’ll have you standing here all day.”
With that, Scarlett turned and walked away.
Only then did Nelson, Selina, and the others realize what had happened.
Scarlett had sealed their pressure points.
When she’d been teaching Ena before, she’d explained a bit about pressure points.
She’d said the human body’s meridian points were extraordinary.
They were amazed, but not shocked.
Scarlett studied medicine and knew martial arts. Knowing how to immobilize someone like that almost :eemed natural.
The reporters could still hear Scarlett’s warning.
They opened their mouths to demand what she’d done to them and why they couldn’t move, only to ealize that although their lips parted, no sound came out.
t was as if their throats were blocked.
The dozen reporters finally understood how Hazel, Brianna, and Zayden felt on the show.
Scarlett meant what she said. She was not someone you could afford to offend.
They’d really been sealed.
There was someone who could actually do this in this day and age!
Scarlett didn’t spare the group another glance.
She left the airport with the four others.
They’d regain movement in an hour at most.
Still, worried about causing chaos or trouble for airport staff, Scarlett stopped by the service desk to
inform them.
The staff recognized her immediately.
They were about to squeal in excitement when she spoke first.
“Sorry for the trouble. A group of reporters surrounded us earlier, so I handled it. They’re standing at Exit A and can’t move right now.

The staff blinked in confusion.
What did she mean by standing at Exit A and being unable to move?
How did “handling it” result in paralysis?
As soon as Scarlett left, several staff members hurried over to the location she’d mentioned.

Sure enough, over a dozen reporters stood frozen in place, cameras and microphones raised, equipment still in hand.
They looked like mannequins, except their facial expressions were very much alive.
It was oddly unsettling.
“They really can’t move?”
“Try pushing one.”
“Oh my god, they’re actually stuck. This is unreal. I watched the show and still had doubts about Scarlett’s abilities. Seeing it in person? She’s incredible.”
“It’s like something out of a movie. I thought that stuff was fiction.”
Airport staff had seen their fair share of reporters swarming celebrities, causing scenes and chaos.
However, seeing them immobilized like this–while curious passengers gathered around–was, admittedly, satisfying.
Some travelers had already noticed.
A dozen people frozen in place were bound to attract attention.
Photos were taken. Videos were uploaded. Questions flooded social media.
“What do we do now? Just leave them? Should we call the police?”
‘Let’s report it to the supervisor first.”
The matter was escalated.
After some thought, the supervisor ordered portable barriers set up around the group and redirected foot
traffic.
Security was stationed nearby to monitor the situation as well. If they really regained movement in an hour, fine.

Its popularity was below the topics about Zayden and Hazel.
“Aren’t those entertainment reporters? I recognize a few. What happened?”
“That’s Brookriver Airport, right? Was there a celebrity arrival today?”
