"Your courage is commendable."
Stella Sterling nodded, acknowledging the other woman's bravery.
The woman in black's expression, however, darkened.
Her words only proved this was no simple matter. It was likely some kind of poison, and the antidote was in this woman's hands. This meant she would be under her control from now on.
'How vicious!'
She cursed inwardly. But for some reason, the moment the thought crossed her mind, a sudden, electric pain shot through her body.
She collapsed to the ground, twitching slightly.
The people nearby were startled and backed away. Seven Locke and Julian Fletcher immediately moved to protect Stella Sterling.
"Sterling, be careful. She's not acting normal."
Stella Sterling looked at the woman without surprise. The reaction was all too familiar.
Stephen Lawrence had been just like this when he first took the Loyal Servant Pill.
