~Crash!!!~
An expensive porcelain cup broke, causing the expressions of Dorian and his men to grow grim.
But Lady Ghu didn't seem to care or even notice their expressions.
The moment she saw Dorian's face earlier on, she just felt like strangling and killing him here and now.
Her son was left in this state while the culprit was still walking around freely.
Bastard!
Mr. Ghu quickly turned to her and gave her the eye as if telling her to calm down.
"But..."
"It's enough, Elvida. Let me handle things from here. Remember, he must leave this place without a scratch."
"... Fine!" Lady Elvida felt aggrieved and a little useless. But she knew her husband was right.
If they acted rashly, then her son wouldn't even have a future to go back to once they finished dealing with the bastard before them.
Without even getting invited in, Dorian calmly walked across the massive open space and finally took a seat on one of the sofas there.
Of course, his men stood behind the sofa instead.
And at this moment, time seemed to stop as the Ghu's silently cursed him in their hearts.
[Lady Elvida]: 'Bastard! Who asked him to sit? Who the hell asked him to sit? No! After this, we must personally burn that couch to a crisp!'
[Ghu Dwo]: Bold Lad! You dare come into my home with no manners even after touching my son? Heh... I'd like to see how long this attitude of yours will last!'
The duo, and the other guards in the room, all cursed Dorian with all their hearts while still maintaining calm smiles on their faces as if his actions were nothing.
Even Elvida, who had been angry earlier on, now resumed her appearance as the wealthy first-class lady that she was.
But within her heart, she had already stabbed Dorian a hundred times over.
They had attempted to make him kneel when he came in, but with the little devil casually sitting down, they had no choice but to swallow their words and glare at him hatefully.
.
As for Dorian, he was too lazy to care about their rage but would get his interest for their early actions.
Dorian's eyes turned frosty while looking at Ghu Dwo eye to eye.
Step. Step
Ghu Dwo subconsciously took 2 steps back as his belly suddenly fluttered with an indescribable feeling.
His eyes! His eyes!
Ghu Dwo peered onto Dorian's eyes and felt like he was staring straight into a deep bottomless abyss of Hell.
Sweat quickly poured out of his palms, causing him to feel choked at the realization of what just happened.
He wanted to peel his eyes away but found that he seemed frozen in place.
But luckily, the illusion lasted for only a bit... until he saw Dorian suddenly smiling, making him shudder instead.
"No... On the contrary, you're all strong enough. But your strength isn't the type of strength needed here." Dorian said while standing up and slowly advancing towards the dazed Ghu Sota.
"You... What do you want to do?"
Of course, like a mother hen, Elvida protected her son while glaring at Dorian.
At the same time, the surrounding guards in the room quickly took out their guns too.
Time seemed to freeze up as everyone looked at the young Master Tian silently.
What did he want to do?
Everyone's head was brimming with curiosity.
Dorian stood next to Ghu Sota and whispered words to himself.... or at least that's what everyone, including Elvida, thought.
But suddenly, Ghu Sota's eyes widened as he looked at Dorian and freed himself from his mother's grasp.
~Plop.
"Please! Please! Please, Young Master Dorian! Help me! Help me!
I promise that I'll never try to pick on you again.
So just help me, please...
Only you can save me now!"
-Silence-
The room turned so silent that one could hear a pin drop from afar.
(°_°)
Blink. Blink.
Everyone opened their eyes wide in shock as they watched the pale, Zombie-like Young Master Sota suddenly wake up from his daze and kneel before Dorian, grabbing his leg and begging for help.
This... This...
This wasn't the script they envisioned, alright?
.
Ghu Dwo looked at Dorian while deep in thought.
This morning, they had been trying to wake Sota from his stupor for hours, but nothing they did could wake him up.
It was as if their son had already left them and was on his way to the land beyond, which terrified them silly.
And from what Windock said, his situation was the same, although the night too with him sleeping for a bit, getting up after a few hours and screaming in fear.
Nothing they did could bring their son back to normal.
Yet, this young Tian Master had just come in, and their son had now returned to his senses... even though his face and body screamed horror.
Ghu Dwo looked at Dorian and was now somewhat convinced that he might not be the enemy here.
So there was only one major question still ringing in his head.
Who was it?
Who was the real culprit?
Dorian leaned down and gently tilted Sota's chin with a broad smile on his face: "I can help you, but my price doesn't come cheap."
