Bab 176: Three Days

Adam stared at Silvana as if mesmerized, but not because he was charmed by her beauty or anything like that, no, it had a different, more sublime reason.

Then, he looked at Silvana not like a man at a woman, or even like a Phantom at an Operator, but like a Warrior meeting another Warrior, with the same unwavering, confidence-filled gaze.

Sure, their battlefields were strikingly different, but they could both fight. One with physical force, the other with support and information.

Then Silvana slowly stood up and, without saying a word, punched Adam in the chest with her fist.

Her eyes went wide, but not because of surprise that the damage done was zero - that was expected. Silvana was in pain because hitting Adam was like running into a steel wall.
