—Do you even know who I am?
The newcomer did not respond.
—Get on your knees immediately. You will pay for your insolence.
But the girl didn’t even move.
She remained seated, observing him with disconcerting calm.
This attitude eventually caused Vanessa to explode.
Without saying another word, he firmly grabbed her shoulder and tried to pull her down from the bench.
Several inmates looked away, convinced that in a few seconds, the newcomer would be on the ground, begging for mercy.
What Vanessa didn’t know was that she had just made the worst mistake of her entire time in prison.
Because this mysterious tattooed woman was not who everyone thought she was.
And in just a few seconds, the entire dining room would discover the true identity of the newcomer…
After hearing these words, Vanessa remained motionless for a few seconds, unable to believe what she had just heard.
No one had ever dared to answer him in that way.
She felt anger beginning to consume her from within.
For years, she had maintained her grip on the prison by sowing fear among the other inmates.
If she let a newcomer challenge her without punishing her, before the end of the day, the whole prison would be talking about it.
And that, I wasn’t going to allow.
“I’m going to tell you one last time… kneel,” he said through clenched teeth, his voice choked with rage.
The young woman remained silent.
Not a single gesture.
Not a word.
Suddenly, Vanessa punched him hard in the face.
A muffled cry echoed in the dining room.
Some inmates even looked away, convinced they were about to witness another brutal beating.
But something unexpected happened.
At the last moment, the stranger barely bent her body and the shot missed her.
Everything happened so fast that many didn’t even have time to understand what had happened.
Vanessa’s fist found only emptiness.
For the first time, the expression on this immense woman reflected perplexity.
Without losing a second, he attacked again.
But the young woman dodged the second blow with the same ease.
It was as if I could anticipate his every move.
The entire dining room froze.
No one could remember ever seeing anyone dodge Vanessa’s attacks with such composure.
That’s what made the cup overflow and caused him to lose control.
Letting out a cry of fury, he lunged at the girl with the intention of seizing her and knocking her down.
However, this time, the newcomer did more than just defend herself.
