After Nolan went to get a drink, a beautiful blonde woman named Elizabeth decided to approach Rachel. The woman was accompanied by two sycophants and was annoyed by all the attention Rachel was receiving.
Even more so by the fact that the most handsome man at the party was not only always by Rachel's side but had completely ignored Elizabeth.
Wanting to vent her anger and mark her territory, the blonde approached Rachel with an arrogant smile.
"Hello," she said as she came closer, trying to start a conversation with Rachel. "I'd like to talk to you."
Rachel, who wasn't very sociable, replied briefly, "I'm sorry, but I'm just waiting for my…" She didn't know which word to choose.
But it didn't matter what word she was going to use, because Elizabeth was already furious.
How could that woman not treat her with respect and acknowledge her presence? How could someone like Rachel ignore her like that?
"Who do you think you are, you stupid girl!" Elizabeth snapped and pushed the woman in front of her against the wall.
Rachel tried to push her away, but with no success. The blonde was a very powerful warrior, and Rachel was not very powerful.
"Let me make something very clear: I'm Elizabeth Fylrd."
Upon hearing that name, Rachel's eyes instantly widened. Even though Elizabeth herself wasn't particularly famous or powerful, Her family was known by everyone as the most influential within the Sun Clan.
In fact, the current general vice-matriarch of the clan came from that family, and the great matriarch had close ties with them.
In terms of status, she was on the same level as Eliza. She might not have shared Eliza's talent, but her family's influence was nothing to scoff at.
Of course, the blonde loved seeing the surprise appear on her opponent's face. She smiled sadistically, savoring how fear painted Rachel's eyes.
"I'm sorry…" Rachel said, a little frightened. "I just want to live my life peacefully. I didn't mean to bother you, so…"
Before Rachel could finish speaking or properly apologize, Elizabeth tipped her cup, spilling the cold drink over her head.
The liquid streamed down her hair and face, leaving her completely soaked. Elizabeth's friends laughed, pointing and mocking her.
"I don't care about your excuses. You're nothing but an insignificant girl," Elizabeth said with a cruel smile. "Know that I can destroy your life and everyone around you with a snap of my fingers."
Rachel felt tears burn in her eyes, but she refused to cry in front of Elizabeth. She knew any reaction would only make things worse. Instead, she bowed her head and murmured, "And what do you want?" Rachel asked, frightened.
Elizabeth, who was thoroughly enjoying tormenting her opponent, couldn't resist the urge to torture the woman even more, so she said, "Nothing, you're finished."
Rachel swallowed hard, her body trembling, tears starting to well in her eyes, but she didn't allow herself to cry. Then, looking down, intimidated and almost desperate, she asked,
"Can you at least not harm the people around me? Please..." She pleaded almost in despair.
Elizabeth smiled sadistically, and after thinking for a while, she had a fun idea, so she said, "Get out of my sight and never contact anyone again. I recommend you disappear from the world. Only then will everyone be safe."
And, right after she said that, Rachel tried to run as far away from her as possible, obeying her order.
The blonde had no particular reason to make that absurd demand, but at that moment, it seemed like a fun idea. She found the idea that Rachel would have to desperately flee from that day forward amusing.
That said, Elizabeth herself wouldn't bother to go after the girl. Just letting her live in fear for the rest of her life and making her, of her own free will, lose contact with her friends seemed like a more interesting idea.
Still, for a lie to be convincing, there must be some truth in it, so she turned to one of the girls accompanying her and ordered with a cold tone:
"You have until the end of the night to find out that girl's name. If she has a job, get her fired. If she's studying, she'll lose her spot at college. Also, find out where she lives; if she rents, pressure the landlord to give her notice that he's going to evict her. If you fail, I'll have someone do these same things to her and to you."
"Understood, my lady," the woman replied, terrified.

"Damn," Nolan muttered to himself, frustrated, after realizing he had completely lost sight of Rachel.
To make matters worse, she wouldn't answer his calls at all. Annoyed, he began to ponder what to do.
Still, it seemed like just an argument, so he figured the situation wasn't that serious. And since he had work the next day, the man decided to wait to talk to her at work.
Frustrated, he went home and slept. The next day, he woke up earlier than usual and went to work very early.
Rachel wasn't there, but that was expected; after all, he had arrived too early. However, more time passed, and he saw no sign of the woman, which began to make him uneasy.
He went to the office where the technical support girl worked and asked if she knew anything. The girl said no but informed him that the store owner worked at another one of his stores inside the mall and that, perhaps, he would know something.
With that in mind, Nolan stormed into the place, fury burning in his eyes. And even though he was a man, something in his gaze intimidated the women who were there, causing all the customers to flee the place.
Then Nolan forcefully dragged his boss to the back of the store. The woman tried to resist, but for some reason, her mana and strength, which should have been far superior to the man's, seemed not to work.
