Chapter 356: The Fractured Mind
"What is happening to Jessica?" Princess Carolina asked in genuine surprised, abruptly getting to her feet as the ambient energy in the royal viewing box spiked dangerously.
"Stimulation... In truth, Jessica’s mind is a lot fundamentally stronger than Ethan’s. Controlling Ethan isn’t an issue, but Jessica is entirely different; having that ancient power inside of her, it’s a bit difficult to completely control. So any little extreme stimulation will aggressively clash with her original, suppressed memories." Master Teacher Nadia explained, a deep, troubled frown on her face as she analyzed the scene.
"We can absolutely afford to lose Ethan, but we can’t lose Jessica." Prince Scott yelled, getting to his feet.
’This disgusting brother of mine only wants her physical body! He plans to have it immediately after this competition. If she dies or gets permanently injured here, his twisted wish won’t be accomplished.’ Carolina thought with profound disgust, tightly clenching her fan, and turned her sharp gaze back to the massive holographic screen:
"Can’t we systemically stop the competition?"
"We legally can’t interfere... She should surrender, or---"
Nadia and absolutely everyone in the froze mid-sentence, staring in pure horror at Buck as he shot violently towards Jessica’s back, his dagger aimed flawlessly at the base of her exposed neck.
"Does that guy actually want to kill her?!!" Nadia stood up in absolute, unadulterated shock.

"Die you bitch!!"
Buck yelled at the top of his lungs, his dark dagger moving rapidly towards Jessica’s spine with pure, concentrated killing intent. He had completely abandoned the tournament’s safety protocols.
