Erik is speechless, totally speechless. He did not expect any of these to happen. And there is no need for him to not believe that this man is Anna's father.
Anna's twin brother looks a lot like this man in front of him. There is no need for him to doubt the words of this man. "Dude, I think you just made a big mistake disrespecting him," Erik whispered to Kyle.
"Shut it." He doesn't want to hear any comments from Erik. It's only making him realize how big of a mess he made.
He is already trying too hard to make Anna's family like him, but now, he has to deal with this? Is this some kind of joke? Kyle really wanted yo laugh, but there is no laugh coming out of him.
"Just what I said earlier, you went out of the line," Arion repeated what he said earlier.
"Sir, I think you are making a big deal out of this. I'm currently courting your daughter. What could have I possibly done to make you say that?" Kyle knows what Arion is trying to say, but he does not want to back just because says so.
After all, Arion left his family for so many years and he is now showing himself to Kyle first instead of his family? In Kyle's perspective, he would not dare to follow whatever Arion will say to him because Anna has been living quite well without her father.
Anna even told him that Aaron despises their father. And he understands why Aaron would feel that way. But someone he feels that it is somewhat unfair.
"Anna is my only princess, and I don't like handing her over to someone like you who have a lot of admirers."
"A lot of admirers?" As Kyle said this, he knew right away why Arion said this. "If that is what you are worried about, then you should not worry about it. I don't pay any attention to those pesky people."
Arion gave Kyle a ridiculing smile. Back then, he said the same thing to Mary's master. It may sound very narcissistic of him, but he too had a lot of admirers. And those admirers cause too much trouble for him and Mary.
"I'm not convinced." Arion simply said.
Even though Aaron said that he despises his father, Kyle sees that it is very ironic that Aaron is so much alike to his father. He wonders what kind of reunion the father and son will have once they see each other for the first time after long years of not seeing each other.
"It doesn't matter to me if you are convinced of not because I will continue to court your daughter whether you like it or not. You're not the boss of me." Somehow, knowing the fact that Aaron hates his father is making Kyle have the confidence that he will be able to stand against Arion without any fear.
If Aaron were to know that Arion is against Kyle pursuing Anna, then Aaron might support Kyle without any second thoughts. 'Maybe I should use Aaron as my advantage.' If Arion is really making a move to stand against him courting Anna, then Kyle will have a talk with his future brother-in-law.
"Punk, don't test my patient here. You don't know me that well, you don't what I can do to you. So, if I were you, I would just follow what I just said." Arion knows that Kyle Robertson is a very confident person, and won't back down to any challenges. But he did not expect that Kyle would be this kind of person. Far from what he expected.
"Oh, I know who you are, Sir. You are not just Arion Coleman, you are also known as Dragon in the underworld, the second most dangerous man in the world. Messing with you is a death wish, but that doesn't really scare me one bit." Kyle might look like he is unfazed by Arion, but deep inside, he is a little bit scared of what Arion might do to him at this moment.
He may have been trained to fight for any dangerous situations, but he is not trained to fight someone like Arion Coleman. He is way out of Arion's league, he stands no chance against Arion. But if he shows to Arion that he is scared, it only meant that he is already defeated, and he does not want that.
The only way for Kyle to show that he is not scared is by not acting like he is scared. Showing his confident facade is the best way to deceive someone like Arion. At least this way, Arion will have a good impression of him.
Hearing that, Arion laughs, but not in a good way, it is more like a terrifying way. "Leon, show our guests the way out. We don't need to entertain them any longer." Arion wanted to continue their conversation, but he has to prepare another meeting with Leonardo because there is a certain someone that Leonardo is going to bring. And since that is the case, he needs something to protect himself from that someone's claws.
Leon knew the reason why Arion is kicking the two out of the apartment, so he nodded in acknowledgment and led the guests out.
When they have reached the door, Leon spoke, "Don't worry, Kyle, the conversation between you and my boss will continue in another time." Just in case that Kyle is relieved that Arion is ending their conversation just like that, Leon decided to remind Kyle not to be so confident that he escaped Arion because there is a part two that is coming soon.

Inside Kyle's apartment, Erik's voice is heard, "Goodness! What kind of a mess did you get yourself into, Kyle?"
Erik still can't believe that he had survived that monster's den just like that. He almost had a heart attack when he heard Arion laughs terrifyingly. 'I think I'm going to have a nightmare because of that laugh.'
"It's not a mess, Erik. It's more like a challenge that fate has given me."
"Please! Don't act so confident in front of me!" Erik truly can't stand that confidence that Kyle is showing to him. Kyle is so confident that Anna's father will give up in the end and let Kyle do whatever he wants.
"If I don't act confident, then everything will be all for nothing." Now that Kyle knows that he will have another meeting with Arion, he is sure that their next meeting he will be able to answer back and leave Arion speechless.
With a disbelief expression plastered on his face, Erik groaned as if he is about to cry. He regrets being friends with Kyle. If he had not pushed himself to Kyle, then he would not have to face Arion Coleman.
'I hate you, Kyle. I hate you.'
