Without caring about her worry, the bee beelined toward her. In a blink of an eye, it was already in front, aiming its stinger at her face.
Zoey felt her whole body frozen in fear at that moment. Her mind went blank and she even forgot what to do for a second. At that moment as well, a huge figure blocked her vision like a massive wall. It was the back of the female guard who had a man-like build.
"Candice!" Zoey shouted after snapping out from a shock.
"I won't let it touch even a single hair of yours! HAH!"
With a huge shout, Candice parried the bee using her flat paddle-like weapon, or maybe it was a crude sword. She swung it fiercely like hitting a home run. The bare force of her attack shocked the people around her. The bee was sent flying away. There was a gush of shockwave-like force generated around upon her action.
As expected of Candice, her strength was higher than most men in the department. This was the thought of everyone around her.
