I didn't even get the chance to say anything before things suddenly went to shit.
One moment the room was filled with nobles arguing and whispering among themselves, and the next moment a figure shot straight toward me like a cannonball.
Holy shit, that was fast.
Heloc.
The guy practically vanished from where he was standing. All I saw was a blur rushing toward my chest with his hand stretched out like he was about to grab something.
Wait…
Was he trying to pull out my heart?
For a split second, I honestly wondered if this guy had lost his mind.
Then instinct kicked in.
Right before his hand reached my chest, I casually raised my arm and grabbed his collar mid-air.
Just like that.
The momentum he built up didn't disappear though. His body jerked forward while my arm stayed still, and the result looked ridiculous.
His legs were still moving forward while his neck snapped backward from the sudden stop.
"Whoa there," I muttered.
