Chapter 276

From Calliope’s vantage point, she could see everything crystal clear. She seemed oddly fascinated by these alligators and began counting them one by one.

“Wow, she’s counting the alligators!”

“Dude, those are alligators she’s counting. I’m getting chills just looking at their eyes. How is she not scared of being that close?”

“Yeah. It’s terrifying!”

“But I must admit she’s stunning. It could make for some pretty unique photos!”

Someone had pointed their camera at Calliope, snapping away.

To their surprise, there was no need for filters or touch-ups. Just standing there, Calliope looked like a picture from a glossy magazine.

It wasn’t long before the hashtag started trending.

The alligators had caught the scent of food and were eyeing Calliope, ready to make a move.

Calliope, however, remained calm in her black cocktail dress and jacket, watching the alligators with an unflinching gaze.

Then, without warning, one of the alligators lunged, climbing out of the water and charging at Calliope.

“Oh, man! The alligator’s on the move!”

“She’s doomed!”

“Danger!”

The crowd couldn’t help but scream, “Get out of there, quick!”

“A bite from that thing isn’t just a scratch. An alligator’s bite is insanely powerful!”

“Oh God, get out of the way!”

As everyone held their breath, fearing for Calliope, she coolly aimed for the charging alligator and gently lifted her leg.

Despite its size and strength, the alligator got kicked by the heel of her high-heeled shoe.

With an elegance that seemed almost graceful, Calliope’s simple kick sent the alligator flying through the air, landing with a splash on the other side of the pit.

If alligators could scream, that one would’ve cried out in pain. But instead, it just lay there, dazed, as a massive splash rippled across the water.

Every single alligator in the pit turned in unison to look at their airborne comrade, and then back at Calliope, as if in disbelief.

The onlookers wore expressions of sheer astonishment.

“Did I just see what I think I saw?”

“Did she kick that alligator into the air?”

“And why do those alligators look kinda cute all turning their heads like that?”

“I was about to witness a horror show, but this feels more like a comedy!”

“Wait. Calliope was wearing high heels? And she just calmly kicked an alligator away like that?”

“Seriously, what kind of woman can kick an alligator like a football? That gator’s probably just as confused!”

“I’m sorry, but this is hilarious!”

“Those alligators are flabbergasted!”

Everyone found the situation a bit surreal.

Uriah was no exception. He stared at Calliope with wide eyes in utter disbelief. Calliope wasn’t a bodybuilder. She was a petite, delicate girl who triggered a protective instinct in people.

And yet, what had she done? She had effortlessly lifted her leg, and that alligator went flying. Did she think she was playing soccer with it?

Even if he tried, Uriah doubted he could send an alligator soaring like that.

Crazy! That was unbelievable!
