Purple gas began to fill the car's cabin, and Ari felt Lu Ming's body grow heavy against her. Despite his mighty strength, this gas was specifically engineered for his hybrid genes. His head slumped onto her shoulder, his hot breath becoming labored, while Fang struggled to open the electronic doors that had malfunctioned due to the metallic arrow.
(Ari internally, feeling dizzy: Damn it! Lu Ming is losing consciousness.. and Fang is stuck in the front! Does this "Hunter" think he'll win this easily? You touched the wrong man at the exact wrong time! It's time to show you why I call myself a "Personal Maid"!)
As the "Silent Hunter" approached the car with confident steps, wearing a protective mask and prepared to draw a blood sample, something unexpected happened. Ari didn't close her eyes; instead, her blue eyes began to glow with a strange electric light. She gripped the pendant she had been hiding beneath her clothes.
(Ari internally: Sorry, Lu Ming.. I wanted to hide my power for a little longer, but I won't let him touch you! A little "static electricity" should do the trick!)
With a single touch to the car's frame, a violent electromagnetic wave erupted, exploding the metallic arrow and dispersing the purple gas in seconds. Ari kicked the door open with extraordinary strength and stepped out to face the Silent Hunter, who froze in his tracks from shock.
"Hunter.." Ari said in a sharp tone no one had ever heard before. "You miscalculated the 'Maid' guarding this beast. Leave now, or I'll make the lightning burn this forest of yours!"
(Ari internally, feeling the energy coursing through her limbs: Look at me! If Lu Ming saw me now, he'd think I'm a relative of the Lightning T-Rex! Damn, my hand is shaking a bit.. this energy consumes a lot of calories; I'll need to order a large pizza after this!)
The hunter fired a silent bullet, but Ari moved with lightning speed, catching the bullet with a magnetic piece hidden in the wrist of her combat suit, then reversed its direction to strike and shatter the hunter's weapon.
At that moment, Lu Ming began to partially regain consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes to see the silhouette of Ari standing before the car, surrounded by a faint blue aura, challenging the world's most dangerous hunter.
"Ari.." Lu Ming whispered in awe. "Who.. are you really?"
(Ari internally, turning to him with a mysterious smile as the hunter fled into the darkness: I'm your "Maid," Lu Ming..! Hold on, my King, the show isn't over yet!)
