Chapter 357 Orion's gaze was dark and icy, exuding an air of defiance that was hard to ignore.

Lemira stepped forward, locking eyes with the male coach, "Sounds like you've been burned pretty bad in the past.

Lemira nodded, realizing she was still quickng onto Orion's hand. She quickly let go, a bit flustered, "And you were ready to throw punches!" Orion, usually so composed, had shown a fiercer side.

"I just need santiseptic, no need for a hospital visit."
