Patrick looked at Diane. "All right, all right. I won't pressure you to drink anymore. We'll have that chat once you've finished this glass of wine, and it'll only take a few minutes. You will then be allowed to leave with your husband and daughter!"Diane was under the impression that Patrick was the establishment's owner, since he looked the part due to his fat figure and pot belly. She did not dare to reject his request, so after giving it some more thought, she gritted her teeth and drank her third glass of wine in one gulp. "There. Can we start talking now, Mister Patrick?"Patrick finally said, "Hehe, you do realize that you've eaten close to a hundred and sixty thousand dollars' worth of food, right? That's a lot of money. What I want from you can't be simpler. I'll just come right out with it if you don't mind. Now that you're here, I want you to do you. You can leave once I'm done!"He could not help but ogle Diane's thigh after saying that, and he even hinted as clearly as
Diane felt disturbed by his request, but the thought of Selene and Severin made her feel uneasy too. She bit her lips and said, "Severin promised to come up here if I'm not down in ten minutes. Time's almost up, so it's best if you let me go as soon as possible. If he has to come up here and fetch me, you can bet that he won't let you off that easily!"Patrick cackled as if he had heard a joke. "Haha, do you think he'll even get the chance to come up here? Why would those guys downstairs even allow him to pass? Are you stupid? Well, whatever it is, tonight's the night I'll have a good time with Severin's woman!" he declared, then pounced on her like a wolf."Get off me, you b*stard!" When Diane saw that he was hell-bent on forcing himself on her, her face turned pale with fright and she dashed to the side at once. Unfortunately for her, the copious amounts of wine she drank left her feeling a little dizzy at that moment. Since she was wearing high heels, it was no surprise that she s
"AGHHH!" A blood-curdling scream was heard. Patrick clutched his nether regions and squatted down, nearly fainting from the pain."HRAAH AGHH!" His yells were unending, and he had an excruciatingly painful expression on his face.Diane was still reeling from the immense shock, but that did not stop her from feeling a burst of joy. Patrick was a sleaze and a pervert, and it was her good fortune that Severin showed up in time, or else she would have been forced onto by Patrick."Let's go, Severin!" Diane endured the pain and stepped forward to tug on Severin's arm.Severin smiled faintly, looked at the tightly-shut secret door in the corner, and said, "Show yourselves. Don't hide there like scaredy cats!"The three people who were hiding inside paled in fright. They did not expect that Severin would be so ruthless as to deliver a kick that was strong enough to render Patrick's crotch useless. He was the epitome of fearless, and he began to walk up to the door when no one answered hi
Easton held Jada back. "Take it easy, Jada. This kid is just an impulsive hothead who does things without considering the consequences. Your status and family background doesn't matter to him, and he'll beat you up before saying anything. You shouldn't piss him off, because you're the one who will get the short end of the stick if he kills you!"Jada knew that she would stand to lose a lot if she picked a fight with a brainless hothead like Severin, especially since her bodyguards and One-Eye were all still downstairs. She gritted her teeth and could only hold back her unhappiness."What are you going to do? Don't come near me!" When Lucy saw that Severin was staring intently at her, she was frightened by his gaze and retreated a couple of steps back.Severin glanced at her indifferently. "Kneel and apologize to my wife!""Who do you think you are, telling me to kneel like that? Don't make me laugh!" Lucy glared at Severin. "Didn't you know Jada's men are waiting on her instruction
"Ah!" Diane did not expect Severin to carry her up so suddenly, so she exclaimed in surprise and blushed.As she felt the firm strength in Severin's arm and the faint aura of masculinity coming from his body, her heartbeat began to quicken."Why are you carrying me up? I can walk on my own!" Diane said in a soft and bashful tone."How are you going to walk when your ankle is swollen? Let me carry you back to the car!" Severin looked right ahead forward and strode forward without even looking at Diane.Diane could only bite her lips and acquiesce to him in silence.After Severin walked out of the room, the tremendous pressure that Lucy was feeling disappeared in an instant and she collapsed to the ground. It was a terrifying feeling, as if Severin was some despotic ruler that left her with no choice but to submit to him. It was hard for her to wrap her head around why she felt that way.Easton gulped and walked over to Lucy. He felt a little puzzled because he expected that Severi
On the other hand, the one-eyed man's group surrendered as soon as they saw that Blade had brought so many people there. After a brief conversation, they squatted on the ground and put down the weapons in their hands. When Blade arrived, he addressed Severin respectfully as 'Mister Severin' and assisted Severin with subduing the entire group. Severin then thanked them and went upstairs alone.When Blade saw Severin coming down the stairs with Diane in his arms, he immediately stepped forward and asked concernedly, "Mister Severin, is your woman all right? Just saw the word and I'll make sure these people won't live to see the sunrise tomorrow!"Severin smiled faintly. "Thank you for the gesture. My wife is fine, but I'm just curious why you were willing to help me?"Blade grinned sheepishly, and came up with a random excuse: "Well, the main reason is that Draco Hall has beef with the Cedar Gang.""I don't think it's that simple," Severin remarked pointedly.It was then that Blade
Jada was so angry that her face was turning red. She never once thought that those from Draco Hall would interfere with their business and be so intolerant of such issues that they felt the need to step in.Alas, she knew that her only option that night was to admit defeat. Though she came from a third-tier family, Draco Hall was an entity that they did not dare to and could not afford to provoke. After all, not even a second-tier family would have the guts to challenge them."Hehe, Blade…sir, I only did that because I wanted to teach Severin a lesson after he embarrassed me today. I swear that our restaurant doesn't scam people! But since you've decided to let Severin go, then we assure you that we'll respect your decision!" Jada smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to concede to him.Before long, Blade left with his two hundred men.When he was finally out of sight, Jada asked One-Eye, "What happened? Why did Draco Hall's people show up so suddenly?"One-Eye signaled for his m
"You're right, it is very strange. Don't worry, I'll try and ask around!" Easton agreed.…Severin was driving home with his family after carrying Diane into the car."It's all thanks to Blade for helping us!" Judith was still rattled by that incident and could not help but sigh. "He rushed in with so many people that I thought he was targeting us! I didn't expect that he'd be helping us!""Do you know who this Blade person is, Severin? He looks like a really powerful person!" Maurice asked Severin.Diane glanced at Severin and was a little puzzled too. Maurice and Judith were not there when Severin went to Easton's wedding, but she was. She remembered quite clearly that Blade owed the Loughs a favor, and it was Trevor who called in that favor by requesting that Blade deal with Severin.Later that night, Blade seemed to side with Severin a bit more. Although she had no idea what happened downstairs, she found it a little weird that Blade addressed Severin as 'Mister Severin'. Mos
