Lydia realized something was wrong and hurried towards the two men.

The two men had been arguing about money, but they suddenly felt a chilling presence and fell silent, turning to see what was causing it.

When Jesse saw Lydia, the pain from having his wrist twisted the day before resurfaced instantly. Just seeing her made his wrist throb with pain. Terrified, he exclaimed, "Please, have mercy, ma'am! We'll disappear right away!"

He turned to run but was caught by Lydia, who forcefully spun him back around. With an icy demeanor, she said, "I haven't even asked you anything yet. Where do you think you're going?"

Held by the scruff of his neck, Jesse felt as if his very lifeline was being twisted. Trembling, he quickly pleaded, "Ma'am, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Yes, yes, we'll tell you everything," added the man who had been arguing with Jesse. Having witnessed Lydia's formidable skills firsthand the previous day, he was terrified of her. Even though Lydia hadn't glanced his way, he didn't dare to run and stood there, quaking in fear.
