Zeke stood his ground and did not budge, “Let’s see if you have the guts to do it.”
If it were in the past, Clyde would definitely not have the guts.
However, now that he had Princess Lia backing him, he felt that he does not need to fear even the Great Marshal
himself, much less his underling.
He raised his hand and moved to strike Zeke’s cheek without hesitation.
At the same instant, Zeke moved as well.
It was a battle of speed at that point and the winner was Zeke as he slapped Clyde across his face.
The blow sent Clyde flying backward. When he landed, blood spurted from his mouth all over.
The palm print on his cheek was red and distinct.
Everyone was stunned.
Clyde was Princess Lia’s current partner and that meant that he was a prince.
By slapping the prince, Zeke had committed a capital crime punishable by death!
Fury tore through him and Clyde’s face turned red, “Princess Lia, you saw it yourself.”
“I only wanted some justice for you, but this brute dared to hit me... it just means that he has no respect for you.”

She clenched her teeth and ordered, “Kneel down in front of Clyde and apologize to him this instant!”
“If you refuse, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
Zeke replied, “I’m sorry, but he is not worthy of my apologies.”
You...
Princess Lia was beyond furious and she walked towards Zeke, saying, “I must teach you a lesson today!”
Zeke shot a glare at Princess Lia. “Do you really think that I’m afraid to hit you?”
His gaze was so cold and so intense that Princess Lia suddenly felt chills going through her heart.
Such a horrifying gaze.
Never before in her life had she felt so threatened.
Princess Lia had no doubts whatsoever that this brute would raise his hand against her.
Left with no choice, Princess Lia could only wave at the guard she had brought with her.
“Seize him. He is rude to me.”
“Yes!”
Eagerly, the guards advanced towards Zeke.
However, just as the guards were passing by Princess Lia, she suddenly felt as if the room was spinning around her
and she collapsed to the ground.
The guards were so alarmed that they forgot about Zeke as they rushed to break her fall.
In a matter of seconds, Princess Lia’s complexion had turned a shade of black. She was breathing hard and she
looked extremely weak.
The captain of the guard asked in a panic, “Princess, what is happening to you?”
The princess replied weakly, “My... head’s spinning... I can’t breathe...”
“Help... help me...”
“Send her to the hospital right away!” Ares ordered frantically.
If anything untoward happened to Princess Lia at his residence, he would have to bear the responsibilities and give
the kingdom of Atlantis an explanation.
And should Atlantis found his explanation unsatisfactory, there was even a possibility of war between the two
countries.
Zeke said suddenly, “It’ll be too late.”
“I’m afraid she’ll be gone before even reaching the hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAres asked, “Do you know what’s wrong with her?”
Zeke replied, “It’s obvious, she’s having a relapse from the snake venom that hasn’t been totally cleared from her
system previously.”
“The remnants of the venom has now entered her limbs and her brain.”
“Within three minutes, she would go into shock, her breathing will stop and cardiac arrest will occur.”
“In other words, if the remaining venom is not removed from her body within the next four minutes, she will die.”
Boom!
Everyone present was thunderstruck by Zeke’s prediction.
Four minutes... that’s too short of a time for any action to be taken.
Princess Lia opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Clyde with hope, “Help...Help me...”
Before, it had been Clyde who removed the snake venom from her body, so, he should be able to do the same now.
Clyde panicked under her hopeful gaze.
He only knew western medicine, and in western medicine, snake venom is to be treated with serum injection.
That being said, there was no way to get the serum at such short notice.
Even if there were serum available, he still had no idea what type of venom Princess Lia was suffering from.
Ares scolded, “Clyde, snap out of your daze, go and clear out the venom for Princess Lia now.”
Clyde had no choice but to put on a brave front and walked towards the princess.
