"Them? I don't need to lift a finger." Vernis hadn't given Shi Li's Beast Husbands a second thought.
In his eyes, this was a battle he was guaranteed to win.
"That confident?" Shi Li raised an eyebrow, not resisting as Vernis drew closer.
Seeing that Shi Li didn't react, Vernis grew even more brazen.

"Ugh!" Vernis suddenly grunted, clutching his neck in pain.
He had just followed Shi Li's gaze toward the people who were brawling.

A moment after the jolt of pain, his large hand clamped tightly around Shi Li's neck.
The sudden force was meant to crush her windpipe.
Shi Li's face instantly flushed crimson. She could even hear a faint tearing sound—the capillaries in her neck and face were likely bursting from the sudden pressure.
