Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 750

Hearing that, Shanley’s eyes lit up. A faint smile spread across his handsome, aristocratic face.

“Are you finished with your basic training?” Juniper shot a look at the young brats across from her, a wave of heat rising in her cheeks as she tried to suppress it.

“Not yet!” The kids knew better than to keep joking around and scattered with mischievous laughs.

“Let’s go,” Shanley said, the smile on his pale face widening. His voice was soft. “The members of Subterra Vanguard are quite likable.”

Juniper glanced up at him. Tsk. Did he have to be this happy?

“That’s not what you said when they were hunting you down,” she reminded him mercilessly.

“It doesn’t matter,” Shanley said, quickening his pace to take her hand. He leaned in slightly. “They already see me as yours. They can hunt me all they want.”

Juniper felt this man had no shame. She tried to pull her hand away, feeling awkward.

“Just let me hold it,” Shanley said, his grip tightening as he chuckled. “My wound hurts. I’ll have to trouble Boss Specter for some support.”

Juniper looked up and saw members coming and going, all of them staring pointedly at the two of them.

“Ahem…” With an embarrassed cough, she gave up trying to pull away and instead picked up the pace. “Walk faster.”

“Alright,” Shanley said with a triumphant smile, keeping step with her and deliberately staying close.

Inside the room, the atmosphere was tense. Shanley was seated alone on one side, while Juniper had been ‘escorted’ by the five masters to sit opposite him. The silent space was thick with unspoken threats.
