The hall fell silent.
“What gives you the right to hit our friend?” Ruth and her friends stood up, pulling Trusova behind them as they confronted Kseniya.
“Why did I hit her? Why don’t you ask this bitch?” Kseniya crossed her arms and sneered.
Trusova covered her face, full of resentment. “Kseniya, don’t go too far. I left Achela years ago and even planned to settle in Ostrad. Why are you still chasing me?”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she almost shouted, “Your family has already killed my mother and uncle. What more do you want?”
“You killed my brother. Your whole family should pay for his death!”
“What’s the use of killing just two bastards? You’re the one who deserves to die!”
“Hmph… you thought you could live by hiding in Ostrad? Today I will take your miserable life!”
Kseniya stared at Trusova with murderous intent while Trusova was full of resentment, gritting her teeth. “Your brother wanted to rape me; I only fought back and accidentally killed him.”
“If I didn’t fight back that night, he would have strangled me!”
Everyone instantly understood the feud between the two families.
Flynn frowned; he didn’t expect Trusova had such a shameful past.
“So it’s a grudge! I never expected it to follow her all the way to Ostrad.”
“Although we’re in Ostrad, the Bazayev family has business dealings here and connections with many prestigious families. That girl named Trusova probably won’t be able to escape!”
“That’s right! Let’s not forget that Edwin, the owner of Phoenix Manor, has business ties with the Bazayev family. They can do whatever they want here, and no one can stop them!”
The diners dared not voice their anger but murmured quietly to each other.
“What’s the big deal if you die? You lowly wretch, the lives of your entire family are worth less than my brother’s!”
“Don’t think my brother will just humiliate you. Even if he ties you to a chair and has our family’s horses take turns trampling you, you can’t utter a single word of complaint!”
“You dared to run away to Ostrad. If my five-year search hadn’t led me to you, your punishment would be a thousand cuts!”
“Alejandro, bring her back to me!”
Kseniya’s face was filled with disdain and arrogance, as if she were looking at a lowly ant.
“Yes, Miss!”
Alejandro’s face exuded a murderous aura as he moved through the hall like a towering mountain, emanating an overwhelming pressure.
Ruth and the others couldn’t help but shudder, unsure how to respond to Alejandro’s threatening presence.
At that moment, a calm voice spoke up.
“Apologize to Trusova, then leave!”
Flynn casually picked up a dish, slowly brought it to his mouth, and chewed without looking up.
If it were a stranger, he might not have bothered with this trivial matter.
But Trusova was Rose’s person, and she had been so hospitable on the golf course earlier. Flynn couldn’t let the other party rampage unchecked.
His words stunned everyone.
“Who is this guy? Never mind the business dealings between the Bazayev family and Edwin, just Alejandro alone is not someone to mess with!”
“Yeah, saying something like that, he’s probably going to get beaten to death by that foreign brute!”
“It’s best to turn a blind eye to this matter and not get involved. If you want to play the hero, you have to consider your own capabilities!”
The diners in the hall looked at Flynn, shaking their heads.
This guy didn’t weigh more than 150 pounds, just half of Alejandro’s weight. If he forcefully tried to keep Trusova, he would likely have his head smashed with a single punch.
Flynn’s words reminded Ruth and the others, and they protected Trusova as they moved behind Flynn.
Even the Richardson family held Flynn in high regard, so he must have a way to save Trusova.
“Oh? Someone fearless, huh?” Kseniya’s eyes flashed with coldness as she walked over with Alejandro.
“You, a pig, dare to meddle in the affairs of our Bazayev family?” Alejandro stared at Flynn, asking coldly.
A pig?
Everyone’s faces in the room darkened upon hearing those words.
Wasn’t that an insult to all the people in Ostrad?
Although they were angry, they didn’t have the courage to retort. They could only keep a straight face and pretend not to have heard.
“I take back what I said earlier! Leave your tongue behind! Make that girl kneel down and apologize to Trusova, then slap herself ten times!”
“Otherwise, I’ll personally come over!” Flynn picked out the peppercorns from the dish with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.
He never once raised his head.
“What! Is this guy crazy? Provoking time and time again, could he be a martial arts expert?”
“No use! He’s too young. Even if he has some skills, he can’t match Alejandro! Alejandro’s punch has a force of a thousand kilograms, and his agility is top-notch. Unless he’s a Grandmaster, he can’t compete! This young man is underestimating his own abilities!”
The guests present shook their heads, feeling sorry for Flynn.
If Flynn had just shut up earlier, they might not have bothered with him. But he had even dared to mention cutting off her tongue, which would surely lead to a beating.
“Grandmaster?” Alejandro was initially taken aback but then sneered.
“The martial arts in Ostrad are just for show. They might be suitable for exhibition matches, but for real combat, you need to look at Achela’s karate!”
“Besides, there’s an old saying in Ostrad that warriors stand like pines and sit like bells. This guy is so carefree, like a useless person who masturbates three times a day. Is he really someone skilled?”
Kseniya also sneered and said disdainfully, “You really underestimate my boxer. He defeated the former world boxing champion in a head-to-head fight and knocked him out. Can a Grandmaster compare to that?”
“Don’t be afraid to tell you, Alejandro defeated a Grandmaster last year. Don’t try to intimidate us with your Ostrad pretenses!”
Flynn still didn’t look up and spoke indifferently, “Whether it’s a pretense or not, you’ll find out if you try.”
“Courting death!” Flynn’s provocation infuriated Alejandro, and he swung his fist to strike.
Ruth and the others turned pale at the sight, completely stunned.
They thought Flynn would make a phone call to seek help, but why did he take matters into his own hands?
Alejandro was the world boxing champion!
He was two meters tall and weighed twice as much as Flynn!
In the face of absolute strength, any technique would be futile!
Just then, a voice as imposing as a bell rang out from the upstairs.
“A Grandmaster can’t compete? Quite arrogant! Today, I’ll use Internal Martial Arts to teach you, you foreign devil!”
Alejandro furrowed his brow, stopping his swinging fist, and turned his head to look at the stairs.
A middle-aged man wearing a white shirt descended from the second floor, followed by six men and women who also exuded an intimidating aura.
“No matter what grievances you have, this is Ostrad. It won’t allow a foreigner to act recklessly here!”
“So what if you’re the world boxing champion? Not to mention a Grandmaster, with my attainment in Inner Strength, I can send you back to Achela!”
They emanated a majestic aura, their footsteps silent as they walked down the stairs, clearly all experts in Inner Strength.
With a cold expression, they all glared at Alejandro, with killing intent in their eyes!
