Marcus Monroe's move threw the private room into chaos.
Nora Lowell's eyes went red with fury. She raised her hand, about to unleash a Thunder Strike, but at that very moment, a dark shadow shot straight at her face!
She dodged aside and saw that it was a metal flower.
In the dim light, it emanated a deep, dark luster. Its sharp petals were as deadly as a Sharp Blade, looking as if they could slice open her skin and expose the flesh beneath at any moment.
"Everyone, stop!"
A furious shout from Shawn Monroe halted Nora Lowell's attack. At the same time, the metal flower, as if alive, was pulled back to Paige Summers's wrist by an invisible tether.
Toying with the metal flower, she tilted her head up, revealing her fair face. With a slight arch of her brow, her cat-like eyes shimmered with a watery light, holding a mix of regret, annoyance, and an unreadable playfulness. The effect was utterly captivating.
Shawn Monroe's heart hammered in his chest.
