Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Solution
Of course, the young man got offended by his offer, but he remained calm. "That won't happen. My girl is not an object or property to pass down or hand over. It shows your poor mentality that you considered a woman as an object and exploited them. I see you have no shame at all. Consider this a warning: if you ever attempt to trade any woman for your own benefit, we will not spare you.
Suddenly, he shook his head and wandered his gaze on the crowd present in the street. Mike spotted the young man's face and his eyes widened. He recognised the face and recalled where he had seen him before. After a few minutes, he realized that the young man was no other but a businessman who had worked earlier for his master, Dracula. Almost two months ago, he saw him with Dracula, probably working together or maybe he got hired by his master for a job.
They didn't interact much, but his face appeared familiar to him and it helped Mike to identify the man. A smile erupted on the corners of his lips and nodded his head slightly. For a while, Mike observed the man and his escort for a brief moment. He came to the conclusion that the man wasn't any ordinary businessman wandering town to town to earn money. Having a beautiful escort by his side, who was willing to kill and die for him, it showed the man had a solid background or might be a powerful influencer. The way the young man faced Wood Klein showed he wasn't afraid of the power of aristocrats. Either an influencer or a fool had the courage to mess with powerful people.
Mike had a train of thoughts running through his mind. He thought of helping the young man because he wanted to establish his contact with people having a background. This mysterious man was no expectation. Maybe, doing him a favor would help me one day in the future. With a smile on his face, he turned his heels towards the scene of the brawl. Tiffany noticed Mike heading towards the young man and got confused. She wondered if Mike knew him or if he wasn't trying to pull a card to show off. It was a matter of concern for her. Messing with the Klein family would be an issue and Mike would have to face consequences if he interferes, otherwise she could have done it by herself.
"Wood Klein! What a surprise? I see you are dealing with something here." Mike snapped at Wood to gain his attention toward himself and distract from the young due. Tiffany shook her head and prayed that Mike wouldn't act recklessly in the crowd.
Immediately, Wood frowned deeply to notice Mike approaching him and ignored him like he didn't exist. For him, Mike had no reputation as he worked for the Kay family for years. He was known to be the chief pharmacist of the family, apart from that Mike had no other identity of himself. However, Mike noticed Wood had ignored him and it was a blow to his image. But, he remained calm to favor the young man in the situation. Mike restrained himself by the embarrassment and still encouraged Wood to have a conversation with him.
"Is everything okay?" He asked Wood again, but he was feeling disgusted to be ignored. This time, Wood turned to him and observed from head to toe. The deep frown was present on his face and he took a breath before responding.
"Does it seem fine to you? Huh? First, this stupid waitress soiled my expensive suit with drinks. Now, these two strangers are backfiring on me for no reason. Looks like people of the town forget what punishment feels like. My family had been kind towards the residents and that's the reason these people had forgotten to give respect to the elder son of the noble family." Wood yelled at Mike, taking out his frustration. Mike had become his target of offense.
"I was watching from afar, but to be honest, I think it was all just a misunderstanding. We shouldn't make a mountain out of molehill." Mike tried to sort out the issue, but Wood glared at him. It made him aggressive to see Mike was taking favor with the outsiders and claiming Wood to be a liar indirectly.
"Shut the fuck up! Who the hell are you to give me a lecture on misunderstanding? There was no misunderstanding. I know all of these people did shit on purpose. But I am also the son of the Klein family. I will make your punishments hard." Wood jabbed at Mike, which made him take his steps back.
"Look man, you are taking this way too personal. It shouldn't be like this. I saw what happened. There could be a misunderstanding but if you keep fighting like that, you will never make space to understand the things." Mike tried to convince Wood to drop the anger and think with a cool mind. Not only would it favor him from the outside, but Tiffany would get impressed as well. It wasn't necessary for a man to shed blood to prove his love.
His eyes were on Wood, waiting for his response. Mike felt humiliated by Wood, but to become a kind man in the eyes of Tiffany, he gulped down the poison and smiled once again.
But Wood had something else running in his mind. The presence of the women alongside the young man made him furious. That woman had made him fall head over heels. Anyhow, he wanted to snatch her. But now Mike pesters him, his rage only elevated. He turned to him and yelled loudly.
"I don't take advice from dogs. You can show your loyalty to the Kay family like an obedient guard dog. This is your position in my eyes and for god's sake, don't waste your energy telling me how to act. I do better than anyone else. Now get lost and lick shoes of your madam Kay. you deserve this." Wood jabbed badly at Mike like he would swallow him whole. The act made Mike mad and depressed as he bit the lower lip in frustration and wanted to kill Wood Klein for disrespecting him in front of many people.
He surely heard giggles and whispers from the crowd and his face turned red from the embarrassment he received. Mike had become a clown in the crowd and it blew his pride. The insult penetrated deeply and the issue wasn't personal anymore. Wood's words made a deep cut on his heart. Tiffany felt bad for Mike. She knew what kind of man Wood was and she clearly told Mike about Wood's reputation in the town, Yet Mike went ahead to talk to such a man and got humiliated.
