Bab 99: My Golden Goose!

Jennie shrieked out loud as blood splattered on her face.

She expected unbearable pain to follow soon after, but there was nothing.

A loud thud, and blood. That was all she had heard and seen.

Only a moment later, she saw tens of pieces of black steel splattering through the surroundings while Liam appeared in front of him.

The galaxies within his royal purple eyes had been unsealed as he looked to his right, gritting his teeth.

Liam had reacted quickly enough to the incoming danger and deflected the attack. He had seen something that had attracted his suspicion and worry and had instinctively moved closer to Jennie. After all, the young woman was the only one standing in a bad position.

Jennie was also weak and wouldn't be able to evade a crossbow bolt fired at her head.

Liam's black steel wrist protectors had turned into the Black Steel Shield the moment his hand shot past Jennie's head. Merely a moment later, the crossbow bolt impacted hard on his arm.
