Flora's POV:
The winding passage led us to the top. The bunny girl ushered us to a viewing platform.
"Sit down. The show is about to begin." Geoffrey sat down first and waved at the seat beside him.
I felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to sit. An unpleasant smell wafted in the air, and I felt disgusted all over again.
I gently patted Warren's hand, gesturing for him to let go of me. He had been holding my hand for so long and refused to leave me.
Warren tightened his grip as if he was unwilling to let go of me.
I glared at him, and he reluctantly let go of me and sat on the sofa with Rufus.
I walked to the edge of the viewing platform and saw a cage in the middle of the stage. A gigantic beast was locked inside.
The beast's butt was facing the viewing platform, so I couldn't recognize it.
"This is the specialty of this side of the border. I'm sure you wouldn't have seen it before." Geoffrey smiled proudly and pointed at the beast. "It's called Teeth. It's a kind of beast born in a polluted land."
"Why do you call it Teeth?" I was confused. "Does it have a lot of teeth in its mouth?"
Before Geoffrey could answer, the beast turned around.
My eyes widened in horror as I saw sharp teeth of varying sizes all over its face.
Minced meat was stuck between some of its teeth. It had a foul breath, and I could smell its stench even from afar.
"Ew!" I turned around and began retching wildly.
'Damn it! I was too naive.'
Warren strode over, put his arm around my shoulder, and gently rubbed my back. "Are you okay?"
I shook my head, grabbed his sleeves, and retched again. Fortunately, I didn't eat much in the morning and only spat out my bile juices.
The well-trained waiters next to us handed over a spittoon and a towel. Their faces bore no emotion as if they had witnessed the same reaction numerous times before.
I took the warm water from Warren's hand and gulped it down, but my stomach continued to churn. I wanted to eat something sour.
