Chapter 371: The Bait
Holly screeched.
"Are you mad?!"
The sound cut through the cold air like a blade, sharp and furious, making even the forest seem to flinch.
Sophia barely reacted. She didn't raise her voice. Didn't bristle. She simply looked at Holly calmly, like she hadn't just told Holly to sacrifice herself.
"No," Sophia said evenly. "I'm not."
Holly stared at her like she'd just been slapped. She hated that Sophia even replied to her, and calmly at that.
"Don't be ridiculous," Holly snapped, barely controlling her anger. "You're clearly mad,"
"If I was mad, you wouldn't even be standing here talking with me right now," Sophia replied calmly.
But Holly didn't hear her at first; she continued her rant. "...and it doesn't matter what you say. You just told me to put myself in front of a Tidebreaker as bait!" Then she paused. "Wait, what did you just say?"
