Eron's blunt tone left Shane at once surprised and angered.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating, sir?" he demanded. "Why don't you mention the name of the
fiance who could make me appear insignificant?'
Eron glanced between Shane's defiant visage and Kim's look of melancholy.
Considering the timing, Sage Lake Sect would be done with Frank by now.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat and grinned. "My daughter will be marrying Maron Ocean, the son of
Sage Lake Sect's chief. You really should look yourself in the mirror and decide if you can ever win
against Sage Lake Sect... If the answer's no, then just give up on your pipe dreams already."
Kim did a double take at his mention of Maron before slamming her palm on the table as she sprang to
her feet, furious. "You're out of line! You can't do this!"
Moran was known to be prodigious and had reached Birthright rank early in life, but word from every
place he ever traveled to pointed to a terrible personality.
Not only would he frequent red-light districts, but there were also accusations of an appalling personal
life and that every woman he had ever been with always ended up suffering.
His drunken behavior was even less acceptable, with reports of him assaulting innocents on the street.
He was incorrigible, and heaven knows how he reached Birthright rank. Perhaps the credit went to
Sage Lake Sect's chief, who must have spent a fortune on his son.
"Nonsense!" Eron's face fell as his daughter pointed out all of Maron's flaws. "Those are all just rumors
—Maron is a good man. If you still doubt me, I'll personally bring you on a visit after this."novelbin
"Are you really so bent on driving me to desperation?" Kim cried, her eyes welling up with tears as she
clenched her knuckles. "You're willing to exchange my life and happiness for your so-called future?"
"Silence!"
A devilish figure strode in, and it was none other than Aria Lond, her cheeks thick with makeup.
She leaned against Eron's shoulder, snapping at Eron haughtily, "Is that how you speak to your own
father, Kim? Apologize right now!"
"Apologize?!"
Kim could have a stroke, and she did not need imagination to understand the story between those two.
Pointing a shaking finger at Aria, she demanded, "What have you been doing with that woman?!"
"What can I do?" Eron turned away guiltily, shooting Aria an accusing look even as he argued. "We're
talking about you! Don't change the subject!"
"Y-You bastard!" Kim yelled as she flung her cup at Aria, the piping hot tea splashing squarely on Aria's
thigh.
Aria shrieked, clutching her thigh as she fell to the floor.
"Insolence!" Eron's eyes widened in fury as he slapped Kim across the face!
