Chapter 709


    He wanted to pull his hand out of hers, but to no avail.


    Hertha led him to an empty area where nobody was ying. Hertha picked up a golf club off the


    ground, stumbling forward as she did so.


    ric quickly stuck out his foot, preventing her from falling face-first onto the ground.


    Herthanded squarely on his chest, avoiding a mouthful of dirt.


    ric’s chest rumbled withughter. “I thought you were strong. You can’t even lift a golf club?”


    Hertha quickly straightened herself up and huffed at ric. “I just wasn’t ready. Who says I can’t lift it?


    Look, I’m doing it now.”


    With a show of strength, she lifted the golf club and swung it through the air.


    The club whizzed past ric’s face, making him lean back hurriedly to avoid being hit.


    “Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to murder me? My handsome face could’ve been damaged. Could you


    afford that?” ric was no longerughing. Instead, he looked annoyed.


    “Of course, I could.”


    “What would you pay me with?” ric scoffed.


    ‘Myself.” Hertha lifted her chin. Her eyes sparkled with confidence as she stared at him.


    ric was taken aback and fell silent.


    This woman was terrifying. She was dead set on getting him, one way or another.


    “I’ll leave you to it. I’m outta here.” ric turned to leave.


    “Hey, get back here! I was going to teach you! Who am I supposed to teach if you’re gone?” Hertha


    tossed her hand, ready to put the club down and grab


    him.


    She didn’t manage her strength well, and the golf club ended upnding on ric’s foot.


    “Ouch!” ric hopped up in pain. He clutched his foot in agony as he hopped around.


    Theirmotion had attracted the attention of Thssa and Lysander.


    Thssa couldn’t help butugh at ric, who was hopping around while holding his foot. It was a


    hrious sight.


    In the sunlight, Lysander’s intense gaze was fixed on herughing face. A glint shed in his eyes as


    he focused even more on her beautiful face.


    Panicked, Hertha dropped the club and rushed to inspect the damage. However, since he was still


    hopping on one foot, she was at a loss for what to do. “I didn’t mean for that to happen. Are you okay?”


    “Stay away from me! Don’te close! As long as you disappear from my sight, I’ll be fine.” ric was


    fuming. His face was clouded over in anger as he spoke.


    Hertha’s heart sank, her eyes dimmed, and her face fell into disappointment.


    “Are you serious?”


    “Of course I am! Now get out of here!” ric was at his wit’s end. He had never been treated like this


    before.


    Hertha must be out to get him.


    Sensing his impatience, Hertha felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes began to tear up. “Okay, from


    now on, I won’t appear in front of you.”


    With that, she turned and ran.


    Thssa felt worried while watching this. She handed the golf club to Lysander and quickly said, “I’m


    going to check on her.”


    And off she went, following in Hertha’s footsteps.


    Hertha was truly hurt, so she ran fast. Thssa hadn’t fully recovered yet and couldn’t keep up.


    “Hertha, wait for me!” Thssa called out to her while chasing after her.

    As they passed the golf course’s rest area, a deep, middle-aged male voice stopped her. “Thssa,


    let’s have a chat.”
