Luck is a Charm

Smooth-talking his way with Evie, she could no longer handle it and left with 7000 spirit stones.

"Hehe, there's always a price for extorting me," Zen smiles cheekily on Evie's retreat.

Putting both his hands around his head, Zen starts walking down the stairs to meet up with Angela.

Angela was seen standing near the receptionist desk, waiting diligently.

"Angela," Zen called out and held her by the waist before she could even react.

"You've finished talking already?" Angela looked at Zen and asked with concern.

After all, he created a huge mess in a reputed restaurant so it was a surprise to be able to leave without any troubles.

"Evie is a reasonable person. Why would I take forever to chat with her?" Zen replied as they walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as they walk out, people start pointing their fingers and whispering softly to each other.

"It's him, he's the one that cripples Jared Kaiso."

"He's so young but he got the confidence of a powerful being."

"Shall we bet on his survival since the patriarch in the house of Kaiso will not let this go?"

Zen was listening to all their chattering and decided to add something extra, "Why don't we create a gambling topic on whether Jared Kaiso lives or dies?"

The crowd turned ashen for his audacity to simply curse the patriarch's son to die.

They hurriedly scurry away from this madman otherwise, they will be implicated in the patriarch's wrath.

Zen smirked when he saw them all running like a coward, "Angela, remember, strength is equivalent to righteousness. They are scared because they don't know my capability while knowing the full prowess from Kaiso's family."

Angela raised her eyebrow in a confusion about his meaning. "I already knew that long ago."

"No you don't, because I can sense a bit of worry in you despite concealing it well," Zen said and turned his head to look at Angela.

Angela swallowed her saliva nervously when she was exposed and tried to open her mouth to explain herself.

However, Zen kissed her on the lip and said, "It's fine to be worried but have some faith in me. I don't start a fight where I'll be at a disadvantage. I only fight when I have absolute confidence in victory."

"Mhm," Angela didn't argue and nod her head slightly.

Meanwhile, news of Jared Kaiso being crippled by his own servants caused by an unknown man spread like fires.

As one person talks about it, two more begin spreading it and before long, the news arrives at the Kaiso's family.

"P-Patriarch, horrible news," A young man in servant clothes started shouting as he ran into a room.

The servant opened the door despite it being off-limits since there's a meeting being conducted.

"What kind of manner do you have to barge into our meeting?" An old man roared at the servant.

The servant was terrified as he kneeled down before explaining himself since the person in the middle was furious.

The person in the middle was the patriarch of the Kaiso family and a man feared by many, Daemon Kaiso.

With sweat trickling down his forehead, the servant started speaking, "P-Patriarch, the young master was crippled and taken hostage during his visit in the Palace Moon Restaurant."

*BAM*

A loud slam happened and everyone started lowering their heads as Daemon Kaiso's palm landed on the table.

"Who has the gall to cripple my son and in the Palace Moon Restaurant no less. That restaurant belongs to Madam Evie and not anybody can create a disturbance there." Daemon Kaiso shouted and glared at the servant.

Seeing the fierce look, the servant bangs his head on the floor and says, "T-This news is confirmed and currently the culprit is heading toward Prica's Inn. A-Also, according to some rumors, the young master was c-crippled by his own servant."

Daemon Kaiso became furious and without batting an eyelid on this servant, he waved his hand, a flame appeared in the servant's clothes. 

Before long, the servant noticed a rise in temperature and with a horrified expression, "P-Patriarch, please spare this servant."

"Hmph," Daemon Kaiso ignored him and walked out of the meeting room whereas everyone followed behind shortly.

"AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh," The servant could only scream in agony as the flame started burning off his skin.

Shortly after, his body became pitch black with no sign of life. He was burned alive for informing the patriarch of this news.

The other servants who were outside simply came inside to clean off the body and acted like it was normal.

"Another idiot that seeks death." The servant smirked as he started brooming the body parts. 

"Who told him to be the chosen one to inform the patriarch. Let's just get back to work before we're next Harry."

"You're right, Parke. I don't want to stay here any longer." Harry nodded at his word before hurrying up his movement to clean off the body. 

The room became spotless soon after with no trace of someone else dying. In this family, taking a servant's life is as easy as killing an ant. 

No one would bother or care about a useless person dying. The people with status here can do as they please. 

While they continued to do their servant duties, Daemon Kaiso was rushing to Palace Moon Restaurant to enquire for details.

He wasn't a fool to directly confront the culprit when he has zero information about his background.

'To openly cripple my son and humiliate my Kaiso's family. I will find out who is trying to target us. Is it the Camellia or Pelora family?' Daemon Kaiso ponders inwardly.

When the crowd saw Daemon Kaiso rushing toward Palace Moon Restaurant, they became terrified and ran away.

Everyone knows Daemon Kaiso is a ruthless man who kills those that offend him, even if he was in the wrong.

Very soon, he arrived in the Palace Moon Restaurant before shouting, "MADAM EVIE, I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!"

The voice was thunderous and loud.

'Look at the mess I have to handle now Zen. 7000 spirit stones are not even enough for me to deal with this.' Evie sighs inwardly.
