Facing the sudden fierce glare of the girl, Ximon was immediately startled, involuntarily taking two steps back, his heart pounding nervously.
What’s wrong with this guy?
Ximon couldn’t understand how Keti, who had been acting so arrogantly and seemingly indifferent towards him these past few days, could suddenly unleash such a strong aura at this moment.
But just this alone wasn’t enough to completely scare Ximon.
After all, the Chamber of Commerce President’s father was still this young master’s greatest backing.
A moment later, he sneered and stepped forward again, coldly asking, “What did you just say? …What do you mean? You lowly person with a D-level Talent, you dare talk back to me, the young master?”
Looking at this little brat pretending in front of him, Keti shook her head with disdain, refusing to respond and instead falling into the self-set trap of self-evidence.
If I’m going to talk back, I don’t need your permission.
On the contrary, she wanted to seize the initiative in this confrontation.
So, a moment later, the silver-haired beauty slowly put down the cutlery, then coldly questioned him, “Hmph, so easily you spout such disgusting words, treating your family’s little privileges as a tool to oppress commoners, a badge of superiority.”
“Such a young age and you’ve already become a scoundrel! Do you even know that Sister Xiasha’s husband is bedridden, and she has three children to care for? With one word, you could ruin their entire livelihood and lives. Can you bear that responsibility?”
Keti stood up angrily, then slammed the table and shouted at Ximon, “Apologize to Sister Xiasha and everyone in the Tavern!”
“They’re all human beings like you, not some lowly creatures meant for your amusement! If you can’t stomach commoners’ food, then get out! This place does not welcome arrogant young masters like you……”
“Miss Lulu……”
Hearing the girl’s outburst, all the remaining guests in the Tavern cast admiring glances at Keti.
No one expected this seemingly petite girl to have a personality tougher than all of these men.
However, many in the crowd began quietly worrying about Keti.
It might feel good to vent now, but…if they really angered the Nobility, what would happen next…
Clearly, compared to Ximon’s apology, Xiasha was even more concerned about the safety of the silver-haired girl.
She hurriedly got up from the ground, grabbed Keti’s arm, and whispered beside her,
“No…it’s okay, no need, we just need to send him away, no need to—”
“No, Sister Xiasha, don’t stop me. Today, I’m making this guy apologize to you all!”
“Ahahaha~”
Watching the tug-of-war between Keti and Xiasha, Ximon, left standing aside, finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
After a moment, he stared fixedly at Keti and let out a gleeful, wild laugh, then nodded and said, “You want me to apologize? How amusing.”
“I’ve never admitted to being wrong in my entire life. And yet, you want me to apologize? Instead of arguing over this ridiculous apology, why don’t we talk about something more interesting…”
As Ximon spoke, his twisted eyes suddenly locked onto Xiasha beside him, then he sneered, “For example…what if the Tavern was forced to shut down and had to pay a hefty fine?”
“How would the poor Landlady take care of her bedridden husband and her three children? Hahaha~ Remember this — they never had to get involved with me, but it’s all because of you! They got dragged into this…So? What are you going to do about it?”
Ximon’s twisted, menacing face gradually moved closer to Keti’s cold expression, and up close, he scornfully mocked the silver-haired girl with that arrogant look.
Keti frowned slightly, feeling like this brat’s eyes were silently saying…
“Hit me, if you’ve got the guts, just hit me!”
And this guy, with his face now practically pressed up against hers in that terrifying expression, confirmed the girl’s guess.
That brazen threat just now, and this deliberate move — though it wasn’t impossible he’d actually do it, it was obvious his real goal was…to provoke her!
It seemed that although this brat was arrogant and overbearing, he wasn’t stupid.
His purpose was simple: to make her attack him first in front of everyone, so he could justify his counterattack.
Even if things went wrong later, he could claim Keti hit first…
So, at this moment, the calmest approach was to endure his provocation, forcing him to make the first move…
Although in that case, the brat might just mouth off and then run away, but at least she wouldn’t fall into a disadvantageous position.
A moment later, the silver-haired beauty suddenly sneered with disdain.
What a joke — after enduring humiliation last night, sitting on the lap of my enemy and meowing for so long, all just so I could have a chance to teach Ximon a good lesson without worrying about the consequences!
Now that I have the confidence, and was just thinking about how to find an excuse — this young master actually handed me a perfect one!
Don’t blame me for being rude now—!
“What can I do to you? Hmph, as your Teacher, I absolutely have the right and the obligation to teach you a lesson on how to behave,” Keti said, then suddenly raised her fist and punched straight at Ximon’s arrogant face—!
“Bang—!”
What?!
The girl’s sudden attack shocked everyone in the Tavern, all eyes wide open.
Someone actually dared to attack a noble in public?
This silver-haired girl didn’t seem to have any background either, this is…too…unbelievable!
Everyone silently held their breath, cheering silently in their hearts…
Meanwhile, Sister Xiasha clenched her hands tightly, looking anxiously at the girl before her, vaguely feeling a sense of familiarity.
She understood that Keti was standing up for her right now, but…she didn’t want the girl to get into any trouble…
The punch from that year’s One Punch Man still packed a punch.
Ximon was blasted away and slammed under a nearby table.
The two lackeys he brought rushed over in panic, helping him stumble to his feet.
Then, standing up with difficulty, Ximon looked at the confident Keti in disbelief, wiped the blood from his nose, and hissed through clenched teeth, “Hmph…you, you’re really bold! What do you think you are, daring to teach me?! Daring to hit me? Today will be the day this filthy bitch dies!”
