An eye-blinding light exploded. The sky was instantly filled with golden sand. Even the huge Agave plant couldn't withstand Alicia's overwhelming force and it instantly turned to sand.
Naja's broad shoulders blocked the sand and dust from hitting Tom. Tom felt embarrassed and angry at the same time. He pushed himself away from Naja just as he thought they were using this moment of crisis to force him to cooperate, and he didn't even feel willing to do anything with them right now.
Yuki pretended to be obedient and with an innocent face said, "This was all Naja's idea, please don't be angry."
"You..." Naja felt angry that Yuki threw the blame on her. When he saw Tom walking away from him to examine Yuki's wound with a worried face, it was clear that the image of the 'bad guy' would be very difficult to reverse now.
