The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Soon, Eddie had shoveled nearly all the food on the floor into Vivian’s stomach.

Raven, gripping Zack’s arm after helping him up, rubbed his soft little hand. It was still raw and almost bloody from earlier.

She cast a cool glance at Vivian.

“Break the hand you just used to smash that plate,” she said, her tone flat, like she was asking her to slice a lamb chop.

Vivian’s eyes shrank to pinpricks.

She couldn’t believe it—a small–town nobody with a Mid–Class Warrior watching her back? And she was this cold–blooded too?

Zack dug into the best meal of his life, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
