"He is already dead," the girl said without care.
"Thanks to the foolishness of my nephew," the old lady smiled like a real viper, "but not thanks to you."
Arthur heard the sound of the stick hitting the ground, "I'll go and keep things under our control. It's lucky that she only managed to clear out those close to here. I'll soon replace them with others. And you…"
The mother stopped as she turned to give her daughter a light gaze. "You know what to do or else… I won't let a single one of our people live after this."
Then the old lady moved outside, leaving behind a shattered girl.
"Thud!"
It wasn't weird for that girl to fall on the ground, exploding in a fountain of tears while her weeping sound was heard by Arthur.
And at this particular moment, Arthur moved.
The girl wasn't in a situation to let her sense her surroundings. In fact the moment her mother went out and left, she let down her guard.
