Chapter 169 169 – A Kick

“What the fuck are you blabbering about, Dan!?” Igor frowned. “There’s no way a husband-to-be would fight his future wife before his wedding, right?”

Daniil pushed the hand of the younger brother who was holding him, then motioned for the guards not to interfere. “You’ve heard the saying that sometimes what’s in our hearts can’t be conveyed with just words, right? Sometimes we need to talk using our fists.”

Igor was on his hips with his mouth wide open. “You are the greatest idiot in my life. Things like that can’t be applied in every situation, Dan.”

Renee tightened her fists as Daniil approached her.

“Don’t bother us, or you will know the consequences!!!” The man conveyed his intentions again. “This is my business with my future wife.” He then looked at Jacques and bowed slightly. “Sorry if I have to do this, sir. I promise not to hurt your precious daughter.”

Jacques sighed. “If you intend to fight, you will definitely hurt your opponent. And I don’t think this will work. It’s not that I’m afraid my daughter will get hurt, but as your brother said, a fight like this has nothing to do with your marriage.”

Daniil looked at Renee again, then closed his eyes. “No, sir. This will make Renee understand that she doesn’t need to run away from this wedding ceremony. Maybe the events overwhelm her, so she wants nothing to do with it. With these fists, I will make her understand that everything will be fine.”.

The people exchanged glances, clearly unaware of what the man was saying.

Raymund laughed. “How could he make an assumption like that? His stupidity has already reached the epic level!”

Daniil opened his eyes and could see Renee’s feet were so close to his face. The blonde woman just jumped up, then gave her future husband a flying kick. The kick was so hard that Daniil was knocked back with a bloody nose.

Renee isn’t done yet. She occupied the man’s stomach and began to give him a combination of blows.

“No one interrupts!” Daniil warns people when he gets the third punch. On the fourth hit, he shouted again. “I can handle this myself!”

Elise, Igor, and the guards could only be grimaced to see Daniil being brutally beaten by Renee. In no time, the man’s face was covered in bruises and cuts. Even so, he kept asking others not to interfere.

“I don’t want to marry you!!!” Renee screamed like a hungry beast.

“Enough!” Jacques caught his daughter’s hand, which was already covered in blood. “I never taught you to keep beating a defenseless opponent.”

“I-I can handle th-this myself.” Even though his facial condition was already severe, Daniil still tried to speak, even though his voice was not clear.

Renee got up and brought her face closer to her dad’s. “I don’t want to, Dad. Whatever happens.”

“You don’t understand, Renee.” Jacques rubbed his forehead, looking tired. “This marriage is very important. If it’s canceled, we’ll be the ones in trouble.”

“I don’t mind if you beat me again.” Daniil got up with the help of his younger brother. “As long as you are satisfied and we get married.”

Renee rubbed her face, took a deep breath, then flashed a bitter smile. “No, I don’t want to get married…. I’m not overwhelmed by all this or anything, but….”

The woman gasped, realizing that Daniil might really like her. Otherwise, Daniil would not be willing to be beaten like that. She couldn’t bear to tell the truth, but at the same time, she wanted to be free from this madness.

Daniil approached his future wife again. “Renee, you don’t have to hide what’s bothering you. We’re going to start a household, so we must be honest with each other….”

“It’s obvious she doesn’t love you.” Suddenly someone joined in.

Everyone stared at one point, namely at Kimi, who had been standing for some time among the guards. Yes, the petite elf had just said that sentence.

“Please.” Daniil chuckled, turning his gaze from Kimi to Renee. “You really love me, right?”

Despite feeling sorry for the man in front of her, Renee shook her head. That instantly changes Daniil’s expression. The man started to widen his eyes and opened his mouth. He then looked at Jacques, who was at a loss for words.

“B-but your father said you were interested in me!” Daniil denied.

Renee Grimaced. “Sorry….”

“It’s enough!” Jacques tapped Renee on the shoulder. “We’d better get into the mansion…”

The man’s words were cut short by an elbow strike from his daughter. The attack was so unexpected that even Emilien’s martial master couldn’t predict it. He knelt down while covering his nose.

“What?” Jacques couldn’t believe the amount of blood coming from his nose. “Where did you learn something like this?”

“First, I never said I like you to my dad. Hell, I only saw you a few days ago when I was kidnapped.” Renee ignored her father and began to explain to Daniil. “Secondly, my dad and I have been separated for a long time, so I don’t think he’ll be able to guess how I feel. Third, the most important thing, how can you believe what other people say? You should have asked me directly whether I like you or not.”

Renee’s words were so fast that Jacques didn’t have time to stop her daughter. Even so, the intonation used by the blonde woman was very clear. It even made Daniil fall to the ground with lifeless eyes.

“Dan, Daniil?” Igor crouched down to check on his older brother.

“Oh, my dear big brother.” Anna ran to the two men.

“No.” Jacques stood up and held his daughter’s hand. “You love Renee, right, Daniil? Never mind what she said. I’m sure if you two lead a family life, Renee will eventually love you as time goes on.”

“What did you say!?” Renee tried to free herself, but Jacques’ grip was so firm. “I told you, I don’t want other people to control my life! I want to be free!”

“Don’t be selfish!!!” Jacques let out a booming voice. “Our business is dying!!!”

“I know it!”

“Don’t you think about the people who work under the Emilien family!? There are thousands of them, Renee!!!”

The father’s words immediately triggered Renee to freeze.
