He extended his hand, and she saw that the calluses on his right hand were thick.
Lucinda glanced at his hand, and then shifted her gaze and continued to walk behind him.
The man led her to a quiet path. She saw a building before them, and stopped.
“Is this the right way?”
She stopped and asked.
The man leading the way was startled but soon regained his composure.

Lucinda let out a scoff and elegantly twirled her slender fingers as her eyes gradually turned icy.
Unfortunately, the people behind this didn’t realize her true capability and underrated her.
She raised an eyebrow and taunted, “Are you all coming at me or what?”
Without hesitation, the group charged at her simultaneously.
