Android 18's sudden attack left Gaino's mind completely blank. Everyone present was dumbstruck.
"Damn, this woman is that fierce?"
"Who knows! But judging by Lord Gaino's expression, he seems to be enjoying it."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Look, the Queen's face has gone dark."
Broly, never one to pass up a chance to stir the pot, said, "My, my! This woman is something else, huh? Flirting with an honest young man in public like this. But I wonder, is Brother Gaino scared stupid, or is he deliberately enjoying himself?"
Broly's words instantly snapped Gaino out of his daze. He hurriedly pushed Android 18 away and quickly retreated.
"Y-You... what are you doing? How could you do something like that?"
Android 18, whose scheme had just succeeded, said calmly, "A dignified candidate for Time Destroyer God, and you're actually afraid of a weak woman like me. I've already given you my first kiss. From now on, I belong to you. You have to take responsibility for me."
Laiya instantly appeared before Android 18 and swung her hand in a slap. Android 18 was immediately sent flying. The immense force even split apart the cruise ship's deck.
With a thud, Android 18 crashed to the ground. Then she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pwah! You're so strong! As expected, everyone around Gaino is this powerful."
Android 18 slowly rose to her feet. Laiya flashed before her again, intending to deliver another devastating blow.
Android 18 spread her arms, waiting for her fate to arrive. Just as Laiya's palm was about to strike her neck, it suddenly stopped.
The fierce gust from the halted blow sent Android 18's beautiful hair flying. Everyone present had thought Laiya's strike would kill Android 18 outright!
Laiya halted her attack and stared intently at Android 18.
