When Marie heard the screams of the children echoing through the house, she immediately ran out of her office.
"Shut up and get back to the table, you bratty stinkers!" Her shout was so shrill that it shook the paintings on the walls and the chandelier in the foyer, scaring the children even more.
Since Luke hadn't noticed before that there were children in the house, he became even more determined upon hearing their cries.
The half-wolf immediately came out of the room he was thrown into, looking like a moving shadow, because he was using the walls of that hallway to create a zigzag effect and increase his speed even more.
Not even he knew he could reach that rate of acceleration before he did that.
Marie was totally surprised by these fast, precise, and skillful movements. Startled, she teleported back a few meters.
