Suddenly, a loud bang echoed.
A miserable scream came from behind as the bodyguard, who attempted to harm Silas, was hit in the head by a trash can that had suddenly flown over. With that, he crashed heavily to the ground.
This scene left everyone else dumbfounded. They actually withdrew their aggressiveness, and none dared to approach anymore.
âSilas! Why is your reaction so slow?â
Silas abruptly turned around to see Axel, hands casually in his trench coat pockets, shaking his head as he walked toward them.
The trash can that this guy had kicked over just now had genuinely scared them.
Still gripping Silasâ suit jacket, Rose slowly opened her reddened eyes. As she raised her pale face, she locked eyes with him.
âAre youâ¦.
you⦠okay?â
Silas lowered his eyes in response to her passionate gaze. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, then pounded like a crazy drum.
âIâm fine. Letâs get out of here.â
âGet out? You punched our boss. None of you will get out of here!â The bodyguards surrounded them.
again.
âHey, hey.â
Axel casually swept a glance at them.
âGet it straight. These two foreigners molested my sister-in-law. Weâre already letting them off easy by just punching them. It wouldnât be too much if we ripped their heads off and kicked them like a soccer ball. Why are you guys still making a fuss?â
Sister-in-law?
Roseâs eyes widened. She shyly bit her crimson lips, and her cheeks blushed even more.
Likewise, Silas was taken aback, but he quickly had a second thought.
Setting aside the sister-in-law part, was Axel acknowledging him as his big brother?
He had hit the jackpot!
âSilas, leave with your lover. Iâll handle things here.â Axelâs eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. He twisted his neck and cracked his knuckles, ready to go all out.
These few days in Solana City, he had been so bored. This time, he finally caught onto his favorite entertainment, so he was excited.
âCan you handle it?â Silas asked with skepticism.
âA man canât say he canât.â
Axel casually whistled, looking at Rose trembling in Silasâs arms. âIf you donât trust me, then stay. Iâll leave with her.â
âByelâ
Without any more words, Silas picked Rose up and ran.
âWhat the fuck? Youâre discarding humanity for a woman! When I get back, Iâm going to complain to Jonah and Lyse!â
Axel pointed at Silasâ departing figure and cursed loudly. Yet there was a smile on his face.
Silas hailed a cab outside the bar and carried the now weakened Rose inside.
âCan your friend handle them alone? Letâs call the police. She grabbed his arm. Her thin red dress was already soaked with sweat.
âHeâs not my friend. Heâs my younger brother, Lyseâs fourth brother.â
Calmly, Silas took off his suit jacket and draped it over Rose.
âDonât worry. Those few pawns, even if there were ten more of them, wouldnât be a match for him. He ate too much tonight. You can consider it his way of digesting.
âMadamâs⦠fourth brother?â Rose stared in shock. âNo wonder⦠his eyes look somewhat like Madamâs, but why do you and him look nothing alike?â
