"Hey, you, lttle girl, do you even know who you just collided with?" A guy, one of the minions accompanying the boy whom Venice bumped into, questioned her.
"I-I'm s-sorry.. I'm new here, so I don't know anyone y-yet," Venice replied.
Without hesitation, Venedict lifted Venice to her feet, shielding her behind him, wary of potential bullying from the group.
He observed the minions helping his enemy stand, and as the boy rose, he shot Venedict a piercing gaze, particularly with Venice, who was now positioned safely behind him.
"Oh, aren't you the kid who frequently gets into conflicts with Ash?" Another minion remarked, noting that the boy who collided with Venice was named Ash.
"That's him! Maybe he instructed his sister to collide with Ash to get back for the time Ash made him cry! Hahaha," another minion chimed in.
Venedict shot them a stern look, before turning his collective gaze toward Ash, who had fallen earlier.
