âZiggy Larkspur! If you mess with us, Iâll report you to the police,â Harper threatened sternly.
âReport me? Hahaha!â Ziggy burst out laughing. Behind him, his henchmen laughed and looked at her with amusement.
They wouldnât be as unrestrained as they were now in South City if they didnât have influential connections.
âMs. Busch, youâre so cute. I think Iâm falling in love with you.â Ziggy approached her, munching on an apple.
âSo, tell me, how will you report me? Iâm the victim here. Itâs your quack doctors who made my injuries worse. âWill the police arrest me, the victim, or your Harmony Healersâ quack doctor?â
âYouâ¦â Harper was speechless. She knew Ziggy was deliberately causing trouble. However, Harmony Healers could not provide any hard evidence to defend themselves.
âZiggy Larkspur, how dare you bully Harper?â
Then, a well-groomed man in a smart suit with a slick hairstyle walked in. His demeanor made him seem someone important.
âCody?â Harperâs eyes lit up, and she quickly went to greet him with joy in her eyes.
âCody, youâre finally here.â Brooke was relieved to see his senior disciple. Cody Ostrower was the scion of the Ostrower family. His family was among the top ten influential families in South City. No gangster or ruffian would dare mess with them.
âMaster Brooke, Harper, are you okay?
âCody stared at the ruffians.
âYes, weâre fine. But this scoundrel, Ziggy, is despicable. âHe has been causing trouble with Harmony Healers and even threatened to destroy this place,â Harper complained.
âOh? So, he dares to destroy Harmony Healers?â Cody glared at Ziggy.
âLarkspur, youâve got some guts! And who gave you the courage to cause trouble while I was away?â
âWell, if it isnât Mr. Ostrower. Itâs an honor to meet you,â Ziggy said, feigning politeness. âStop wasting my time! Tell me, why are you causing trouble here?â Cody demanded.
âMr. Ostrower, youâve got it all wrong. I didnât mean to cause trouble, but itâs all because of the Harmony Healerâs quack doctor.
âLook how my wound has gotten worse, âZiggy said. He lifted his shirt to show his festering, gangrene-like wound.
âDonât give me this crap!â Cody shot back.
âIâm telling you to leave, or things will get ugly.â
âMr. Ostrower, youâre taking it too far! Do you know whoâs backing me?â Ziggyâs smile slowly faded.
âFrankly, I donât care whoâs backing you up. If youâve offended the Ostrower family, youâre all in trouble,â Cody said with unwavering confidence.
âOh?â Ziggy sneered. âWhat if I tell you that the Swanson family, one of Oakvaleâs eight great families, is backing me up?â
âThe Swanson family?â Codyâs expression changed instantly.
