While it was so concentrated on its goal, it didn't even notice the dangerous expression on Harper's face. Imagining what it was about to see, it felt very excited. All of a sudden, however, its head was grabbed and directly pressed into the water. It happened so fast that Patrick couldn't even react, so it was actually choked by
