Alia Avery kicked out at them. "If I ever see you bullying Tiana again, I’ll give you a beating every single ti!"
"Alia Avery, I’m going to take you down!"
The three won went berserk, jumping to their feet and throwing themselves at Alia Avery.
Off to the side, Tiana was so scared she was trembling uncontrollably. Her face grew deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
’I have to go help Alia! But no matter how much I want to, my feet won’t move. I hate myself! I hate that I’m just standing here, watching as those three won gang up on her.’
Just as she saw the three won pin Alia to the ground, a figure blurred past. It was a tall man, who grabbed the won on top of Alia and tossed them aside, one by one.
The sound of splintering tables and chairs filled the air, along with the won’s cries of pain.
After tossing the won aside, Leo Joyce anxiously pulled Alia Avery to her feet. He roared, a mix of anger and frustration in his voice, "You impossible girl! If you’re going to pick a fight, why didn’t you call ?!"
"Since when do I, Alia Avery, need to inform you when I want to beat soone up?" Alia stood and impatiently shrugged his hand away.
"I ant you could tell who you want to beat up, and I’ll do it for you."
Alia Avery scoffed and pointed sharply at the three won on the floor. "Fine. I’m telling you now. I want to beat up those three. Go on, do it for ."
Leo Joyce had always indulged Alia Avery’s every whim, and this ti was no exception—even if he made it a rule never to hit won.
Leo Joyce’s eyes turned icy. "You three," he said in a frigid tone. "Get over here. Now."
The three won’s faces paled. Alia Avery wanted Young Master Joyce to hit them; how could they possibly dare to approach him?
"Are you three deaf or just ignoring him? Young Master Joyce told you to get over here, so get over here!" Leo Joyce’s lackey, Quinn Clayton, sneered with his arms crossed.
"If you’re going to do it, then do it. Enough with the pointless chatter. Leo Joyce, this is pathetic!" Alia was in no mood for theatrics. She spoke with disdain and walked over to Tiana.
Leo Joyce’s expression darkened, his usual patience completely gone. He strode forward and landed two hard slaps across the won’s faces.
Hearing the resounding slaps behind her, Alia arched a delicate eyebrow. She turned, blinking innocently. "Young Master Joyce, my hearing isn’t so good. I couldn’t quite make that out."
Leo Joyce couldn’t care less that the three won were now crying. He raised his hand and slapped them twice more.
As long as his woman was happy, he wouldn’t hesitate to beat them to death.
"Ah, that’s better. Heard it loud and clear this ti. Though, you’re still going a little easy on them."
The hand Leo Joyce had been using was starting to go numb. He rubbed it with his other hand, raising an eyebrow. "So? More?"
Alia Avery pulled Tiana into an embrace and sneered, "Let’s spare them for now. However... I don’t think Crimson Blossom has room for such ’big shots’ anymore."
"Not a problem. I’ll call the headmaster right now and get those three kicked out of Crimson Blossom."
Pleased with his response, Alia Avery tilted her head, pondering for a mont before adding, "And I think Tridell might be too small for them, too..."
"Alia Avery, you bitch! We never did anything to you!" Being expelled from Crimson Blossom was enough to make them hate her guts; now she wanted to drive them out of Tridell entirely.
This ti, Leo Joyce didn’t hesitate. He slapped them again. "Say one more word, and I’ll make sure you can’t survive anywhere in Valerim!"
A violent shudder ran through the won at Young Master Joyce’s words.
Then, sobbing, they turned and fled.
But not before shooting one last, vicious glare at Alia Avery and Tiana Grayson.
Having watched the entire spectacle unfold, Quinn Clayton clapped with exaggerated enthusiasm. "Young Master Joyce, that might be the most alpha thing I’ve ever seen you do!"
Though it was clearly ant as a complint, it sounded like a jab to Leo Joyce. He sneered, raising an eyebrow. "Are you implying I wasn’t alpha before?"
"No, no, no! That’s not what I ant at all! What I an is..."
Just as Quinn Clayton was trying to explain himself, Alia suddenly cried out, "Tiana, what’s wrong?"
