Rose frowned upon hearing Henry’s servant’s vicious words, surprised by his disrespectful behavior towards her as the acting village head.
“Cruel? Me? Are you making a joke here? And how dare you talk to me with that tone? You’re just a lowly servant of that idiot, know your place!” Rose’s voice carried authority and sternness as she released her powerful magical pressure, making it hard for the servant to breathe.
The pressure weighed heavily on the servant’s body, causing his legs to weaken, and he fell to his knees, using his hands to support himself.
‘What strong magical pressure, not to mention the quality of her mana… It’s so thick, as though it’s water! If I say something so stupid again, I’m sure that I will die in an instant! Better keep my mouth shut!’ The servant thought inwardly, horrified, as if facing his own death with one wrong move.
A minute later, Rose retrieved her magical pressure, knowing it could have been fatal for the servant. He was merely a first-circle mage with a low level affinity for wind magic.
“Hufff!” The servant finally took a sigh of relief as the pressure disappeared from his body. He looked at Rose with a terrified expression on his face.
Not only Rose, but Madan Layla was also very angry at the servant’s behavior for calling her daughter a whore.
‘How dare a mere servant call my daughter a whore? He clearly doesn’t know his place and needs a reminder. But I will let them handle this and will not interfere, or it will give the Turner family an excuse to ridicule us in that matter…’ Madam Layla thought inwardly, gritting her teeth to control her anger. She couldn’t let anger lead to hasty decisions that could put Rose in a tough spot.
Despite her efforts to hide her anger, it was clearly visible on her face.
“Mother looks super angry. I’ve never seen her like this before…” Julie whispered to Ava in a low voice, surprised by her mother’s expression.
“Naturally, and why wouldn’t she be? I also feel angry. How can a lowly servant dare to call my sister a ‘whore’?” Ava nodded, her eyes filled with killing intent as she stared at the servant.
Meanwhile, Yuan and his wives were also seemingly surprised by the servant’s audacity.
‘I’ve seen a fair share of ass lickers in my previous life, but this is something else. To think that he would dare to offend the head of the village just because of a few silver coins? This is ridiculous!’ Yuan thought inwardly.
‘What should I do with him? Should I kill him now since he dares to call my Rose a ‘Whore’? But wouldn’t that be a light punishment for his audacity? Let Rose deal with him for now, once they are out of this roof, I will personally punish them for good.’ Yuan said to himself inwardly, a mysterious smile forming on his face.
Grace noticed the mysterious smile on Yuan’s face and was puzzled by it.
“Darling? Why are you smiling like that? It looks creepy, you know?” Grace said in a low voice with a seductive smile on her face.
“Ah, it’s nothing… I was just spacing out…” Yuan said as he shook his head.
“Oh, is that so?… Here I was thinking you’re thinking something naughty about me…” Grace said playfully.
Yuan was speechless! How could his mother think of something like that in a situation like this?
‘Can’t you think of something else besides that topic?’ Yuan cried inwardly.
Yuan could only sigh at his mother Grace’s behavior and shook his head at the moment.
Meanwhile, Henry eventually came out of his daze, and when he woke up, he did so in a manner as though he had just woken up from a nightmare.
“Ahhhhh!” he shouted the moment he woke up.
‘He really is an idiot! Look at the way he wakes up from his stupor as though he had a nightmare, this is really hilarious to see, hahaha!’ James thought inwardly, amused by Henry’s idiotic behavior.
‘Isn’t this just too much of an overreaction? It was just a passionate kiss. It’s not like he had been forced to watch his lover being screwed by someone else, beside my sister doesn’t even like him…’ Julie sighed inwardly.
‘I didn’t expect Harrison Turner’s son to be this weak-hearted, what a disappointment to the Turner Family. Sigh!’ Madam Layla sighed inwardly, pitying the Turner family for having such a useless son.
“Young Master! It’s okay! Young master! Please take a seat here!” The servant led Henry to the sofa and made him sit there.
“What a disappointment, Henry. It’s good that you came out of your stupor now, I thought you would be staying like that forever… Well, that wouldn’t be bad if you ask me,” Rose said nonchalantly, not giving him any face.
“Peter? I see… So I was just spacing out and was seeing things that aren’t real— I was hallucinating, to be exact!” Henry released a sigh of relief, his whole body drenched in sweat.
‘Does this idiot have a problem in his brain or something? How can he think what just happened a moment ago was his hallucination?’ Everyone except his servant Peter thought this and couldn’t believe how much of an idiot Henry is.
It was obvious that Henry thought that what he witnessed a moment ago was not real but a hallucination.
Unfortunately for him, Rose would turn that hallucination into reality with just one sentence from his mouth.
“Hallucination, you say? I’m sorry, Henry, but that wasn’t your hallucination. The passionate kiss between Yuan and me was real. You couldn’t handle the shock and fell unconscious immediately.”
Henry sat on the plush sofa with a blank expression on his face after hearing Rose’s words, feeling as though he had accidentally swallowed a mouthful of dog shit. His face began to flush with redness shortly after.
Once he reached the boiling point, he roared at Rose at the top of his lungs, “FUCK YOU, ROSE! YOU DAMN BITCH! HOW DARE—”
Before he could continue, Yuan immediately appeared before him as though he was a ghost and slapped Henry on his handsome face while restraining his strength so he wouldn’t kill him accidentally.
Bang!
“Aghhh…” As the slap landed on Henry’s face, he flew as though a badminton cork and landed a few meters away on the floor.
“YOUNG MASTER! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!” Peter cried out loud after witnessing his young master fly and land a few meters away from the slap.
He immediately checked Henry’s condition to see if he was alright or not, fearing he might have to confront the Lord of the Turner family, who would be Henry’s father. For sure, he would receive punishment for failing to protect his young master.
Henry’s left side of his face was completely swollen from the slap he received from Yuan, and there was blood on the corner of Henry’s lips.
Peter turned around and shouted at Yuan, “How dare you hit Young Master Henry so badly? Do you know who Young Master Henry is? I won’t forgive you!”
Henry somehow managed to stand up and looked at Yuan with a furious intention to kill.
“H-HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY FACE?! YOU’RE DEAD! I WON’T LET YOU OFF THE HOOK EVEN IF YOU BEGGED ME!”
He then turned to his servant and said, “PETER! I WANT HIM DEAD! I WANT THEM ALL DEAD!”
“Don’t think you will be spared because you’re in the Monroe family. My father can kill you right here if he wants to. There is no way for you to save your life in this village!” Henry laughed like a maniac as he said that to Yuan.
Peter expected this kind of reaction from his young master, which wasn’t surprising in the least. However, he couldn’t allow it to happen.
“Young master, we’re in the Monroe family’s roof right now. We can’t do anything to them at the moment. If we attack them now, it will look bad on the Turner family.”
“I don’t fucking care! If you won’t do it, I will do it myself! Nobody can stop me from killing this whore and this bastard that dared to hit me—not even my father can stop me at this point. I’m not like my father who will do nothing after getting humiliated like this. I will kill this whore right now, right here!” Henry continued shouting with rage. In his entire life, he hadn’t suffered this kind of humiliation.
Peter was speechless! Isn’t this just declaring war on the Monroe family? And it’s all just because of a woman who doesn’t even want to see his face? How will he answer this to Lord Turner later?
‘This is way out of my hand now. I hope that Madam Layla won’t take this matter seriously and forgive the young master’s insolence…’ Peter thought inwardly with a panicked look on his face.
“Oh? Are you declaring war on my family? And how dare you address my daughter as a ‘whore’? Are you tired of living? I didn’t do anything to you at this point because I was giving face to your father, but if this continues, I will stop giving your father face and kill you immediately.” Suddenly, Madam Layla’s angry voice resounded throughout the whole living room, attracting everyone’s attention. ｂ𝚍ｏｖ𝚕．𝚝
‘Oh Shit! This is the end! It’s all over now!’ Peter cried inwardly, his face expressing horror as though he had seen a ghost.
