Pa!

Gloria's right hand lightly slapped one of young Stuart's cheeks, leaving a slightly reddish mark on his white skin.

Sensing this, young Stuart's pupils contracted as he felt that perhaps he had crossed the line with Gloria by advancing against her like that.

Gulp!

"I'm sorry if you didn't like it..." He was about to say something but was soon interrupted by the hand of that young Spiritual Emperor.

Gloria then smiled at him, watching him with interest, as if she was now the one who was the predator here.

"I didn't say I didn't like it..."

"That was just a warning so that you won't try to advance against me so suddenly." She said, walking against young Stuart, leading him toward another wall in that room. 

"Oh?" He was surprised, somewhat pleased at how the situation was developing.
