Madam Nephele looked at Jenson in disbelief. “Weren’t you hypnotized by me?”
Jenson replied, “You used the same old trick. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, you get the gist.”
Madam Nephele grinned at him, saying, “You truly are extraordinarily wise. It’s a pity that your time is up.”
She suddenly took out the wooden flute again and began playing a tune. A couple of thin and black young snakes crawled out of her neckline and sleeves not long after.
Jenson, who was a neat freak, merely thought that these young snakes were gross, so he jumped a couple of steps back.
Baby Robbie came out of the bedroom while drooping his head. He muttered to himself listlessly, “Strange. I clearly placed it in the drawer, why is it gone?”
When he looked up, he saw a bunch of tiny snakes crawling out of Madam Nephele’s clothes. Baby Robbie hurried over and pulled Jenson, who was filled with nothing but disgust, behind him.
“You have to be careful, Robbie,” said Jenson in a concerned tone.
Baby Robbie replied, “Don’t worry. I love fighting the most, and this is my first time battling wild beasts.”
A pretty and flirtatious sneer appeared in Madam Nephele’s eyes as she said, “I hope you like them.” After saying this, Madam Nephele abruptly took out a sachet and squeezed it open. Then, she sprinkled the powder inside the tiny pouch onto Baby Robbie and Jens.
The two immediately smelled the scent of fragrant wood.
These tiny snakes seemed to be under someone’s control. They slithered down Madam Nephele’s body and onto the ground. Although they were little, their movements were extremely agile.
The snakes immediately started attacking Jenson and Baby Robbie.
However, an even weirder phenomenon occurred. Once the tiny snakes touched Baby Robbie, they abruptly fell to the ground and died.
Seeing that the situation was no longer in her favor, Madam Nephele ran away by jumping out of the window.
At this moment, they heard the sound of the sisters fighting with Madam Nephele from outside the window. Jenson and Baby Robbie stood by the window and watched the exciting battle below.
“Need any help?” Jenson asked.
Andy spat out, “No need.”
Baby Robbie climbed onto the window sill and sat on it while crossing his legs. He cheered for the sisters, saying, “There are so many of you bullying a single person. Wouldn’t it be disgraceful if you lost?”
Sis Roxie scoffed. “Don’t be such a lazy bum. Come here and have a taste of this woman’s skills. You’ll know just how special her fighting style is.”
Baby Robbie continued to blabber, “You’re all so young and beautiful, but why can’t you defeat an old and faded woman like her? If you lose to her, we’re through. I’ll feel too embarrassed to admit that I know you people.”
The sisters were enraged by Baby Robbie’s snide comments, and all of them swarmed toward Madam Nephele at the same time.
