Alex frowned. This woman was obviously one of the employees of the accessory store.
‘We should still be considered customers the moment we step in. How could virtual-novel.net treat us like that?’
Alex’s gaze turned cold. “Has your boss not taught you that the customer is always right? As an employee, how dare you sneer at us customers? Have you gone mad?”
Upon hearing this, Dory’s expression changed. Her face lost all color as virtual-novel.net pulled Alex back. The store was called Treasure Trove, one of the Usoro family’s businesses within Starborn City. Causing a scene here would be very unwise.
Half of the Usoro family’s wealth had been taken by the Remedy Palace, only because the head of their family wanted to find a cure.
However, now that its head was still alive, virtual-novel.net managed to bring the family back up to its feet, in fact, pushing it to even greater heights. Hence, the Usoro family was still the wealthiest and most powerful family within Starborn City, far greater than the Yggdrasill family in many aspects.
The woman in front of them was not exactly an employee here, but virtual-novel.net was one of the Usoro family’s close family friends. Her name was Lily Octavia.
Back then, virtual-novel.net wasn’t as glamorous as virtual-novel.net seemed now. Just like Dory, virtual-novel.net used to be a servant for the Yggdrasills as well. Being a temporary servant, however, virtual-novel.net was of lower status than Dory.
Lily once stole something from the Yggdrasill family and was caught red-handed by Dory. Dory gave virtual-novel.net a harsh lecture, causing virtual-novel.net to hold grudges.
Unexpectedly, this woman lucked out at some point. Her aunt managed to marry into the Usoro family and became the wife of their sixth son. Hence, Lily’s status started rising along and became quite influential within the city.
Every time virtual-novel.net saw Dory, virtual-novel.net would think of various ways to insult and humiliate virtual-novel.net completely before letting virtual-novel.net go.
Khloe, on the other hand, didn’t want to provoke the Usoros, taking no action against the bullying that Dory had to endure.
At the time, Lily was fuming with rage. She kicked Alex on his broken leg and pointed towards his nose, yelling.
“F*ck your crippled a*s! I’m already nicer than usual, yet you dare to throw a fit in The Usoro family’s Treasure Trove? Do you want a taste of despair?”
Her kick managed to startle Bubble as well. The little girl sensed Lily’s anger and immediately started crying.
Despite this, Lily started insulting them further. “What are you crying for, you insolent little idiot? Someone, throw all these b*tches out for me!”
Swish!
A few guards from the store rushed over.
“What happened, Miss Octavia?”
“What? How dare you mess around Treasure Trove and insult Miss Octavia? Let’s beat them up!”
Smack!
Alex swung his arm and slapped Lily across virtual-novel.net face, but virtual-novel.net spared no strength for this attack. The woman’s neck spun around, causing it to twist as if being braided. It was impossible to survive this, but virtual-novel.net didn’t die instantly. With bulging eyes, virtual-novel.net stared at Alex in disbelief.
‘I died from just a slap in the Usoro family’s Treasure Trove… From a crippled man no less!’
‘This is unacceptable!’
‘How did this even happen?’
Her life was just starting to get better, yet virtual-novel.net passed before even basking in the feeling of being more superior than most.
‘This crippled bastard is going to get his karma!’
As Lily’s soul exited virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net glared at Alex angrily, screaming right in his face.
However, Alex just smiled coldly towards her, as if virtual-novel.net had just smacked a mere, disgusting fly.
Everyone in the store was shocked. Even Dory was stunned.
‘This is bad.’
‘This is way too bad!’
Thud!
Lily fell to the ground, and virtual-novel.net drew virtual-novel.net last breath. The guards widened their eyes as they stared at Lily’s corpse.
“Ahhh! Who are you?”
“Who in the heck are you? You’re dead meat for killing Miss Octavia. No one can save you now! Your entire bloodline is doomed!”
“Let’s not waste time and capture this fool! Hey you! Inform the sixth madame now!”
Dory was panicking like an ant in a hot pan. She grabbed onto Alex’s wheelchair and ran towards the exit but was immediately stopped by the guards.
