"Merath!"
Akaza, who was still trying to stand, froze at Sonya's scream.
When he saw that Simon's neck was being held by Merath, his eyes widened and he cursed.
"Fuckin drop her!"
He was about to move, and so was Sonya, but they stopped when Merath tightened her grip around Simon's neck.
"Take one more time or try to attack me, and I'll fucking kill him in the blink of an eye."
Akaza and Sonya had ugly expressions, but they didn't move for fear of Simon dying at her hands.
Merath then ignored both of them.
Her fingers tightened around Simon's neck the more, to show Akaza and Sonya that she meant business and also because she wanted Simon to suffer.
Unfortunately for her, Simon did not even let out a single groan of pain despite the pain he was feeling.
Her blood-red eyes stared straight into Simon's eyes with pure hatred.
"You..."
Her voice trembled, but not with fear, but with rage.
"You made me kill him."
Simon looked at her silently, his eyes still cold.
