This was an open challenge! Garcia Han was convinced. She was going to go easy on this young man but why did he keep on provoking her?! Maybe he was bored but he shouldn't recklessly challenge her. That's what she thought.
The wound which she tried to bury all her life resurfaced and in no time, her hands started shivering! Trying to suppress but failed, she muttered, "Excuse me." She then rose from her seat, walked out of the room and went straight to the washroom.
Standing in front of a mirror and a washbasin, she pulled up the tap and washed her face again and again. This goes on for more than a minute!
