Cleo's eyes widened. She never expected that this man would actually detain her tonight! This was never part of the plan!
"You wanted me to leave my woman, with you?" Chu Nan smiled. By now, the three of them already attracted the attention of everyone on the dancefloor. Most of them already stopped dancing and just stood there watching the show. "Are you trying to make me laugh?" Chu Nan asked.
"Do I look like I am joking?"
"Yes." Unperturbed, Chu Nan lifted an eyebrow. "You look comical."
Cleo held her breath. Honestly, she didn't know that Chu Nan would be this daring. How could he offend Lord Olfan when they are currently inside his house? Is this man fearless?
"I see… So you would drag the whole Chu Family into this?" Lord Olfan clicked his tongue. He then looked at the surrounding people. "I am sorry to inform everyone that I am not feeling quite well. I need to retire for the night. The party is over."
"I don't think I need the Chu Family to deal with a crazy ex-boyfriend," Chu Nan answered him.
"Are you sure you wanted to offend me just for a used shoe?"
"You sure you wanted to hurt me just for a woman that you already threw away?" Chu Nan countered.
"So, that Xi must have thought that I am afraid of the Chu Family." Lord Olfan nodded in understanding. "She miscalculated. I am not afraid of anyone." One by one, the people around them left. They already saw the tension happening between the three, and not many of them would want to get dragged into something that they would regret later.
Lord Olfan then shoved his hands into his pockets. "So, let me asked you again… are you willing to offend me just for a woman like this?"
Chu Nan only smirked. Instead of saying anything, Chu Nan leaned closer and kissed Cleo's temple. "Are you willing to kill me and risk offending my family just for a used woman?" Once again, he asked. For some reason, seeing Lord Olfan's face darkened made him want to laugh out loud.
Chu Nan never knew that he was actually this good at acting! Ah, it seems that Lyca already saw this coming? Why else would she tell him to bring a gun? Ah, that woman was truly cunning. He couldn't help but wonder if Cleo already knew what Lyca's plan was? Seeing the man clenched his jaw and started glaring at him, Chu Nan's smile became more and more provoking. "Let me asked you something… Lord Olfan. Did you really think I would come here and run away because I was scared of you and your people?" Right now, there were already about ten men wearing black that is standing a few meters away from them.
"You dare insult me in my own home?"
"This is not considered an insult, yet." Chu Nan smiled. "Ah, if there is nothing… I should leave this place. My woman is not feeling well."
"try to take a step out of that door and you will die."
"My… My…" Chu Nan's words were interrupted when a man wearing black tried to call our Lord Olfan's name.
"Not right now, Bo! I am busy!" Lord Olfan uttered. His gaze soon met with Cleo's watery eyes. "Still afraid of me, I see. If you are so scared, why did you come here? Did you come here to try and show off that you found someone else despite being discarded by me?"
"You have no right to speak to her like that!" Chu Nan hugged Cleo. "We are leaving."
"Try it!" Lord Olfan's voice boomed, it echoed inside the whole mansion like a clap of loud thunder. "Try it and you'll die without even a corpse!"
"How bold," Chu Nan laughed. "Who would have thought that the meticulous devil would finally crack just because of a woman? When Xi told me that you would never try to offend my family, I laughed. I didn't believe her. I already know you aren't that smart. If you are smart, how could you let go of a woman like Cleo?"
"You— "
"Am I wrong? You let go and now regretting your actions. You could fool them… but not me." Chu Nan snorted, arrogance apparent in his eyes. "You miscalculated." He smiled. "You lose."
"Lord!" The man wearing black approached them. When the man heard Chu Nan's words, he already knew that this man is involved In the things that happened earlier. He immediately leaned towards Lord Olfan and whispered a few words. Slowly, the atmosphere turned colder, darker. But just as he was about to move, footsteps echoed inside the mansion.
"Surround them!" Shen Qui's voice thundered. Almost immediately, another group of men wearing black arrived.
"What is… what is happening?" Someone from the back asked.
"Drop your weapons!"
"Drop it now!"
"On the ground! On the ground!"
The scene immediately turned chaotic as Lord Olfan tried to grab Cleo. However, Chu Nan was quick enough to use his strength to defend the woman in his arms. "What do you think you're doing?"
"This is not over!" Lord Olfan uttered before he attempted to run towards the stairs.
"Eh? Where are you going?" The one who spoke was none other than Lyca. She was sitting on the baluster of the huge stairs, a lazy smile was on her face.
"You —"
"Juan Jose Collazo I am arresting you on suspicion of multiple murder and homicide, drug possession and trafficking, prostitution, sexual assault and human trafficking, rape, arson, Illegal possession of firearms…" The man stated a lot of crimes enough to make Lyca sleepy. "You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."
Lyca beamed as she waved at him. Ah, those cases were of course true. But the police had no evidence of them and if they did, they didn't live long enough to submit it. However, this time, it's different. Lyca had been watching this man for a few months. And she had the Chu Family as her backer.
Isn't this why she wanted to get close to the Chu Family first before she dealt with this man?
