Grace standing before Henry was beautiful and had a sexy figure that drew attention even in professional clothes. Among all the teachers at the State University, she was one of the most famous—not primarily because of her looks, though she was undeniably beautiful with classical features and an elegant bearing.
No, her fame came from how strict she was in her literature classes. Students either loved or feared her demanding standards, her refusal to accept mediocre work, her sharp critiques that could reduce overconfident freshmen to tears.
In the past, before the world ended, a female college teacher of this caliber would not have looked at him as a janitor at all. Would have walked past him in the hallways without acknowledgment, would have spoken to him only to complain about a broken radiator or ask when the bathrooms would be cleaned.
Now, soon, this beauty would serve him. Would have no choice but to obey.
The thought made Henry's blood surge with dark satisfaction.
The Husband's Plea
"Henry, can you give her a chance?"
The voice was desperate, pleading, but trying to maintain some dignity.
"I promise that she will be able to find enough supplies next time. Next time for sure."
At this moment, a tall male teacher came forward, stepping between Henry and Grace. His hands were raised in a placating gesture, his body language submissive but protective.
This was Michael, a physical education teacher at the university who specialized in basketball and conditioning. He and Grace were a newlywed couple who had been married for less than two months when the apocalypse struck.
They'd been planning their honeymoon—a trip to Europe that would never happen now.
Now he was seeing Henry's hand reaching out toward his wife, seeing the predatory hunger in the older man's eyes, and something inside him snapped. Despite the fear, despite knowing what Henry could do, he plucked up what little courage remained to try to stop this.
However, Henry didn't care about him at all. Didn't see him as a threat or even an obstacle.
The Brutal Response
"Bang!"
He simply threw a punch—casual, almost lazy, but backed by superhuman strength.
The physical education teacher flew backward directly, his body lifting off the ground and sailing through the air before crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.
A mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips, splattering across the floor. He collapsed, unable to move anymore, ribs definitely broken, possibly worse.
Henry smiled at his handiwork, then turned back to the assembled crowd.
"You guys," he said, gesturing to the other teachers watching in horror, "strip her clothes and tie his husband up."
His voice carried absolute authority, the confidence of someone who knew he wouldn't be disobeyed.
"I want to have fun with his wife while he watches!"
"Hahaha!"
His laughter echoed through the recreation room, cruel and unhinged.
Beating the physical education teacher wasn't enough for Henry. He didn't plan to let the couple off that easily. Instead, he'd come up with a way to play that would make both of them suffer, that would be extremely perverted and humiliating.
It was about power. About making them understand their place in this new world.
"He is a monster."
In the activity room, the other remaining teachers—five men and three women who'd survived this long—gritted their teeth when they heard Henry's words.
Their faces showed disgust, horror, impotent rage. But under his watchful eyes, they didn't dare say a word. Not one protest. Not one objection.
They started to move, following his orders despite the revulsion they felt.
Some gave Grace pitiful looks before they began, their eyes apologizing for what they were about to do, preparing to forcibly remove her clothes as commanded.
"Ah!"
Grace's scream was raw, primal.
"Henry, you are not human!"
"You will be punished by the law!"
"You must die a horrible death!"
Looking at Henry approaching with his mouth open, showing those yellowed teeth, she couldn't bear it anymore. The fear transformed into fury, into desperate defiance.
She struggled hard against the hands restraining her, and began to spit wildly at him, her saliva hitting his face.
