QT: Against My Will-Chapter 512 - 8.29 - Colourful Coctails - Monster Heist

The rest of the students stared shocked senseless at the empty tables. The attack was so sudden that nobody had time to react. Her team was already gone from sight by then.

Mr. Jenkins’s dark hair almost turned white, "CATCH THEM!" he roared out.

As Bing Shi followed her team closely behind, she abruptly turned around and deftly twirled her cane like a majorette, unleashing a powerful blast of energy together with her barrier at the LADs who had dared to block their path.

Despite her attack, the LADs had managed to emerge completely unscathed. However, as they were hurtling in all directions, they noticed that they seemed to become more disoriented.

Her voice echoed through the halls of the school, striking fear into the hearts of all who heard her.

"Think twice before crossing the path of Shina Mackmoriss Night again! Or be prepared to meet the same fate as the foolish LeClére clan!"

The weight of her threats lingered like a chilling mist, haunting the minds of those who dared to oppose her.

"If you have an ounce of sense in that pitiful brain of yours, you’ll keep your distance from me and my people!" she continued, her words laced with a menacing undertone that left no room for doubt. "All hail to Ezikiel Mackmoriss!"

"All hail to Ezikiel Mackmoriss!" her team screamed in unison, feeling a surge of excitement and pride as they did so. Alain’s parents adopted her, so officially, she was Shina Night.

Her dedication to honoring her new family and the memory of Ezikiel Mackmoriss earned her the respect and loyalty of those who followed her.

"Can you tell me why you always have to look for new enemies?!" Bertha screamed out in frustration, clinging tightly to Liam’s waist as they sped towards the nearest nightclub, "Wasn’t Riley enough?! Victor and Nathaniel, I understand, but why did you have to provoke the whole school and the LADs?!"

Bing Shi was sitting behind Laura, "Well, Bertha," she quipped as she created a barrier around her head, "I always say, the only thing better than defeating one enemy is defeating two enemies."

Though her comment had elicited a laugh from the group, Bing Shi quickly shifted to a more serious tone. "Look at it this way. Would Nathaniel and Victor face a big backlash if they stood up against the whole school? I doubt it."

By the way nobody was following them showed that at least half of her team was able to earn the respect and admiration of their peers, teachers, and the school LADs.

Laura calmed down Bertha’s worries with her next words, "She was able to infiltrate the school and join the graduation process, you can bet that she’s got the council’s approval."

"How do we call you now?" Henry thought about the reason he joined her. Silvia told them she didn’t need obedient little sheep on her team, and he wondered how she would keep order among the members.

Bing Shi held her cheeks shyly as if she was a young maiden, "Refer to me as your Lady. It sounds delicate, like me."

"..." Henry meant her name, but whatever.

Liam turned to Bertha with a mocking grin on his face, "You were the only one who let the teachers and the students walk all over you this whole time. Shouldn’t you be the one throwing a celebratory party?"

Bertha screamed as she hit his back. "Watch the road!"

Bing Shi and her team of thirty people arrived at the nightclub and parked their bikes. They were dressed in formal attire, complete with the graduation emblem, making them stand out in the crowd.

As they walked towards the entrance, all eyes turned to look at them with some onlookers feeling both fear and admiration. Even the rowdiest club-goers gave them a wide berth.

Bing Shi took a seat at the head of the table, where the music wasn’t too loud, and the lights weren’t flashing too much. The other members of the team mingled with the crowd, enjoying the music and drinks.

The security guard soon appeared before Bing Shi, "Excuse me, miss, that seat is reserved for the owner, Victor Egerton. Would you mind moving?"

Bing Shi scooted over the couch to make enough room for Victor to fit in, "Is this enough?"

The security guard hesitated for a moment, not expecting Bing Shi’s response. Whoever she was, he didn’t want to provoke her, "I’m not sure, miss. I’ll have to check with Mr. Egerton first."

"Sure, go ahead." Bing Shi said while ordering a few colorful cocktails. She scanned the crowd and noticed a group of people eyeing them warily. She took off her mask and took a sip of her cocktail, relishing in the sweet and cold flavor.

The dancers continued their mesmerizing performance, their bodies twisting and turning with a fluid seductiveness that seemed almost otherworldly.

Juliet who sat by her side was a bit taken aback by the sight. Her Lady made her scars appear fierce and dangerous, and it seemed like she was using that perception to her advantage. The few people who were eyeing her hesitated for a moment before turning away in fear.

She couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement at the thought of causing chaos and disruption in Victor’s nightclub, "What are we doing in Victor’s territory?"

"Just playing around. Do you know any spell that would turn an alpha at his peak into a wrinkled old man?" Bing Shi asked as she began to chant under her breath, drawing a sigil in the air.

A LAD appeared before Bing Shi just in time to stop her from casting the spell that would have probably killed half of the nightclub.

He towered over her, his muscular form enveloped her with his shadow. His face was contorted in agony and he was gasping for breath as he tried to contain her spell, his mask breaking at the impact.

Bing Shi immediately covered her face when Ru Quan came into her view, "I’m just here to enjoy the music and the drinks."

Dai An and Ru Quan prohibited her from using any more magic. Apparently, the books she studied to lift objects were for regular magic users, and she was far from a regular magician.

She was just practicing a new chant that she planned to use on Victor and wasn’t putting in much focus. How bad could it really be?

’Why did you encourage me to cast it if you knew what I could have caused?’

’~Just curious.’

Dai An didn’t care the least bit about the people in this place. Did anyone know how rare it was for Bing Shi to practice on her own accord?
