Chapter 383 Chapter 383 Quarrel
"Above all, offending another noble family in the town would lead to civil wars." Mike said to calm the enraged Tiffany so she won't jump into action to save a stranger which would cost damage to her family's reputation.
"That's why I am refraining myself from slapping him. We should leave because the longer I stay here, the more I want to step inside the quarrel." Tiffany sighed and shook her head in disbelief as she realised Mike was right. Mike and Tiffany turned their heels away from the scene of the drama. She could hear Wood Klein yelling loudly again,?but for the sake of her own image, she put deaf ears and was about to leave the place.
However, she caught a glimpse of something unfamiliar and she got hooked by the magnificent appearance of a man coming from the opposite direction. She stopped in her tracks and kept looking at the tall man who came like a rage of storm. His aura made others look at him too. There was something about him which made his arrival known to others as well. He had a muscular build and tall posture. His gait was fabulous. Never seen anyone like him around. The man had a glitter in his eyes, shining with power radiating through his body and the charisma he carried spoke for himself.
The man walked past by Tiffany without noticing her but Mike was occupied looking at the dresses Tiffany left back in the store. Tiffany didn't blinked once when she noticed the man walked straight to Wood and snatched his hands to release the poor waitress's hand from his grip. The action was controversial but it made Tiffany flatter as someone made his mind to teach Wood a good lesson.
"Excuse me, Sir! I think you are creating an issue purposely by dragging the young lady into a scandal without any solid proof." The man looked into Wood's eyes without blinking once. He was taller than Wood and easily towered him.
The sudden appearance of a man baffled Woods. Not even in his sane mind did he think any man would take sudden action to stop him from harassing common people of the town. Wood glanced at the man and observed him from head to toe. He noticed the man surely had a greater body than his, and he inflated his chest to appear a dangerous man. "Who are you and who asked your opinion in this matter?"
"I am an alchemist and a visitor in the town. Just as I was passing the street, I saw you sitting in the restaurant, gulping down a liquid from the flute. I saw you spilling that drink on your suit. This poor lady has nothing to do with it." The man stated with confidence and The waitress's face glowed to see someone took a stand for her.
"Tiffany, aren't you buying these clothes? We came here to shop. Let's get them packed and it will help distract you from the incident." Mike asked her but noticed Tiffany was occupied. Tiffany was watching the scene with interest and she didn't hear anything Mike said to her.
When the noises got louder again, Mike looked at the scene and furrowed his brows to notice a man taking the side of the poor waitress. But from the back, He couldn't see his face; however he appreciated his courage to stand against Wood in public. Things started to get heated up when Wood took off the coat and threw it on the ground.
"An alchemist? Really? And you thought you would look cool to interfere with my?matter? Do you know who I am?" Wood's voice sounded more aggressive than before. He was surely pissed off by the interruption in his created scene, moreover he was accused of lying by an outsider.?No one had ever put up a fight with him for saving a common man's life. This was new for Wood and he did not like it. Today, it was an outsider who pointed a finger at him, tomorrow there would be town folks gathering together to defame him. The thought gave him chills.
"Your matter? I can see it wasn't your matter anymore since you are dragging and abusing this poor lady without any proof in public. It's a public issue now. Anyone can step up in this scene I suppose." The man started with a deep voice which could make any knee wobble.
"Do you think this is a joke to me? Why would I make a scene if I spilled the drink on my suit? This woman did it and she isn't accepting her mistake." Wood glared at the waitress who stood away from him and thought of?several ways to punish her brutally.
"I saw myself you spilled your drink accidentally and now you are taking it out on the poor lady as she happened to stand a few inches away from you when the drink got spilled on your suit. I know it would be embarrassing for you to accept that it was you who did it actually, so now you are blaming it on an innocent woman because you have power to change the event and course of her life. She was being professional the entire time and you are showing your low class upbringing by saying such foul words for the lady. I think you're surely taking this matter as a joke." The man crossed his arms and glared at Wood with the same intensity, his gaze cloud met anyone standing between him.
"How dare you call my upbringing a low class? Do you know the fuck who am I? You are messing with the wrong man over a street bitch. I held much power to make you disappear in the light of the glorious sun and no one will bat an eye." Wood grinned at him, showing how dangerous he was. Some of his words were true as he did make people disappear from the town. No one knows if he killed them, sold them or tortured them under a dungeon.
"Then you must use that power of yours to accept your mistake and let go of that poor girl you held in a scene and harassed publicly for your entertainment." The man showed no mercy in insulting Wood for his actions. Wood got his face red by the second hand embarrassment by an outsider because he noticed a few people around him giggling and chuckling under their breath.
"What was so funny? Huh? Laugh at me and I will send each one of you without a tongue." Wood was getting enraged by the embarrassment he felt but forgot he was doing the same thing to a waitress a few minutes before. When he held the power in the matter, he felt like a god and now he faced a man who defamed him and his tactics, he was humiliated.
The voices gathered more people around them. Taking advantage of the situation, Wood glared at the outsider and mocked him, "And you, who is not even a resident of this town, claimed to be an alchemist. Do you think your build will scare me?"
