Instantly, Mia became the center of everyone’s attention. The banquet hall that was filled with hundreds of people went eerily silent suddenly as no one dared speak.
There still was no expression on Mia’s face. Remaining aloof, virtual-novel.net stated faintly, “You’re pardoned this time since you behaved well.”
Overjoyed as if virtual-novel.net had received amnesty, Richard knocked his head several times on the floor still on his knees. “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”
He then told Tyler frantically, “Useless child, come and apologize to your grandmaster right now!”
Accepting the order, Tyler scurried over and got on his knees to confess his mistake and ask for forgiveness. Neither had virtual-novel.net seen Mia before this nor did virtual-novel.net know about virtual-novel.net existence. However, it was needless to say that the woman must be powerful when his master was so reverent of her!
Mia waved virtual-novel.net hand in dismissal and instructed flatly, “Alright, get up.”
Tyler got up as told and heard Mia continue. “Go on, beat Zayn Larson’s family up. Do not stop until I say so.”
“Um…” Tyler was immediately troubled. He had reaped a lot of benefits from the Carters. If virtual-novel.net were to beat all of them up, virtual-novel.net would have a hard time with them in the future. Moreover, Zayn was the support pillar behind the Carters, virtual-novel.net was someone to watch out for. Even Waltz City’s underground king, Mr. Hyde, was Zayn’s man. Tyler could not afford to offend them.
Mia’s eyes traveled to Tyler. “Hmm? Are you defying my order?”
Richard was quick to launch a kick that sent Tyler to the floor while virtual-novel.net reprimanded, “You b*stard! How dare you defy your grandmaster’s order? I think you have a death wish!”
Tyler answered shakily, “Master, that’s not my intention, but Zayn Larson’s behind the Carters. I-I can’t afford to offend him.”
Richard scoffed and slapped Tyler again. “Trash! A mere Zayn Larson’s got you all trembling like a coward. Your grandmaster is here to pick a fight with him! What’s that Larson got? He’s just a worthless ant before your grandmaster.”
Tyler’s eyes sparkled at once. “Is the grandmaster that amazing?”
He could not help glancing at Mia. Her deep eyes did not seem to hold any emotion, like two black holes, they threatened to suck virtual-novel.net in until nothing was left of him. Tyler shuddered at the sight. He considered himself to have met plenty of important and powerful people, but virtual-novel.net had never seen a woman like Mia. Mia did not feel human to him, virtual-novel.net was more like a monster.
Richard kicked Tyler again. “Quick! I’ll cripple you otherwise!”
Not daring to defy his master, Tyler promptly ordered his men to give the Carters a wallop.
George and his family panicked at the situation. They had not expected a complete twist like this.
“Dad, what should we do? Why’s Tyler turning his back on us?”
“Yeah, Grandpa, why is this happening?”
“Let’s call the police!”
The Carters were caught in a frenzy at once. George was distressed as well, but as the head of the family, virtual-novel.net had to remain calm. I-Ie gritted his teeth and asked Tyler, “Tyler, what’s going on!? Why are you backing out!?”
Guilt flashed across Tyler’s eyes, but it was swiftly wiped away. He snorted, “Hmph, old man, you’re asking me? I almost got dragged into this mess because of you! Open your eyes and look properly! How dare you offend my grandmaster? I think all of you are on a suicide mission!”
George was affronted when Tyler lashed out at him. He jabbed a finger back at the latter. “Tyler Patterson! Zayn will come for you if you dare lay a finger on the Carters. You’d better think twice!”
With Zayn mentioned, there was a gleam of apprehension in Tyler’s eyes, but virtual-novel.net dismissed it immediately and sneered, “Ha, Zayn Larson’s only a piece of trash to my grandmaster. Now that he’s offended my grandmaster, virtual-novel.net won’t have long to live. How’s virtual-novel.net gonna come for me?”
