Ava's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at the woman, her heart in her throat.
She blinked.
It must be a mistake, she thought inwardly.
How could the woman see her?
No. She must be looking at something behind her.
Except the woman was looking straight into her eyes.
"What is happening?" it was Aliah. She was screeching towards the man. "Do something!"
"Madame that— we cannot stop the ritual now."
"Then— " Aliah said nothing. She vanished from where she was standing and arrived next to the woman. However, before she could do something, the woman smiled, her hand wrapped around Aliah's neck.
Ava tried to take this opportunity to teleport herself away from this place but she couldn't.
She immediately frowned. What is happening?
"Foolish…" the woman hissed. Slowly, she turned her head towards Aliah. "How dare a lowly creature interrupt me?"
