The entire place fell into a deafening silence. Though she wasn't as famous as Agent 1, Ava was still a respected figure within the nation. She was the replacement after all. Everyone knew her.
The initial tension between Lila and Beatrice only increased. Ava's interference did nothing to calm the storm brewing within the mercenary.
Lila tightened her grip on her pet's neck. She gave no other warnings as her figures pressed on a certain pressure point. Beatrice's face limb in her arms like a rag doll.
She let go and casually turned around to face the agent. Ava's face contorted into a grimace. The last time someone disobeyed her orders was a very long time ago.
She could hardly recall it. Watching the obnoxious woman hurt another in her presence set her off. She didn't think twice about her next action.
Her baton came undone as she approached Lila with a purpose. The said girl watched with her darkening gaze.
