Transmigrated into a reversed world -
Chapter 144 - 144- Don't get on that woman's bad side
Cyra's long fingers tilted Leah's chin upward, their gaze locking. Leah stared into Cyra's piercing grey gaze, awe flooding her as the ancient documents' words were true.
Cyra released her chin, turning to the room. Her body thrummed with a desire to fight, feeling they could last longer in a fight with her.
"To ensure you take my words seriously,'' Cyra declared, her voice ringing with authority, "I've decided to fight you all tomorrow night."
The room fell silent. Her words, laced with both confidence and dismissal, struck a nerve. Insulted, the women glared, their expressions hardening. Each resolved to crush her in battle, to shatter her arrogance and leave her begging for mercy.
Without sparing them another glance, Cyra ascended the stairs, her dismissive air only fueling their rage. As soon as she vanished from sight, all eyes turned to Leah, demanding an explanation.
But Leah and Lilly flashed out of the room; the morning sun was already rising, and they didn't have time to satisfy their curiosity.
The women turned to the pale Rose. Julia sent a message to one of her people to get a crystal, and another sent for food.
Shaken by what she had witnessed, Mia was grateful to Lilly for stopping her; otherwise, she'd be the corpse they were carrying back.
An attack for Cyra had made Matriarch Rose useless.
Mia helped to carry Rose to the sofa; when the bottle of liquid crystal was brought, she fed it to Rose and Rose's pale face changed to a rosy one as she regained her strength.
Mia watched, amazed by the power of the crystal, but it's a pity that mine produces little, and they had to compete for its resources. If she knew Cyra had a gushing stream of it, she would vomit blood in envy.
Rose opened her eyes slowly. She felt everyone's gaze on her as she searched the room for a figure.
"She's gone. Now tell us what happened to you in her mind..." A woman asked what everybody was eager to know; it's a proven fact that Rose's mind attacks were a deadly weapon, making their family the third most powerful family in the nine order. So can she explain to them what just happened a while ago?
Rose trembled when she heard those words, the sequel left on her mind after expressing such horrors. They watched her trembling form, and their heart sank; even their words elicited such reactions from her- how powerful was that attack?
"Whatever you do...don't get on that woman's bad side or the consequences would be horrible." She warned them with a vacant stare, her words sending chills through the room.
"We have a duel with her tomorrow night...at least give us some hint about her power so we can understand the kind of creature she is." The woman's words brought them back and they waited for Rose to tell them.
Rose's eyes widened in fright, which was unbecoming for a matriarch of a clan. She didn't seem to notice at all; her mind was screaming in panic against fighting that Monster.
"W-W-What... My ribs are broken, so I won't be able to fight with everyone tomorrow. My advice is to make her promise not to kill before starting the fight." Rose stood up and held her ribs like she was in so much pain and left quickly, leaving everybody in shock.
Some of the lower supernaturals' heads felt fear since the third family was so scared that she escaped a duel with a healed rib, which made them dread tomorrow's duel.
While some of the women sneered in contempt at Rose's behaviour, it gave birth to an ambition to take her out from the third position and take her place.
They felt with all of them attacking that woman tomorrow, nothing drastic would happen, and Rose was just scared out of her mind that she exaggerated the whole thing. But they would be in for a rude awakening.
Everybody, with their thoughts, left the building to their estates to prepare for tomorrow night.
Mia was called to walk with her mother, "Tell me, what do you think of her opponent." Blaine asked her daughter, wanting to hear her thoughts on this.
"Terrifying." Mia's word was filled with certainty and her eyes flashed with fear. Blaine's hands clenched into fists under her clothes. Her face was calm, but her emotions were turbulent.
"Mother, we should thank Lilly. Without her, it is my corpse that would be brought back to you." Mia's tone was filled with gratitude as he looked at the morning sun rising from the sky. It is so good to be alive.
Blaine remembered Rose's advice and decided to do just that before the fight started.
The supernatural island was thrown into a boiling discussion; clan members were gearing up for the fight tomorrow, fully believing in their Matriarch's victory.
It had been so long since the island had an exciting event, and this was the most awaited event when they watched their Matriarch in action.
