" Little brat! Don't you know that when adult are talking you shouldn't interrupt them?" the young man face turned ugly. He wasn't going to let a little girl block him from the potential 'goldmine.'

" Sir, do you need me to dispose of the issue?" The guard next to him whispered to him. It was just loud enough for the girls to catch it. They already had a bad feelings about this sleazy person but it was confirmed now.

" It's alright. There is no need to say anything. We were just leaving." The french girl who understood what they talked said gently grabbing Elise to move her behind her.

" What's he talking about?" other girls tried to ask her but she only shook her head.

" I will tell you later. We have to leave for now." She whispered to them preparing to go but the young man blocked their path making them panic.

" You guys don't need to be so suspicious of me. I can see that you want to make some connections in the fashion industry. I can help you." He said patting his chest trying to impress them.

" It's fine. We already have our own agency." The french girl tried to politely decline him but he urged them again in a more threatening tone.

" Don't you know who I am?"

" I am sorry. We don't know you." She turned away again. The american girls were a little apprehensive about the threatening tone of the young man but they decided not to say anything since their companion was dealing with him. Two russian girls didn't understand anything, they were going along with the flow standing behind the party trying not to attract any attention towards them.

Unlike others they knew they were at the most disadvantageous situation. They ran away from home to chase their dreams and had little savings in hand. Others could return home but they didn't even have money to live out for a week. If not for these three friends, they didn't even know what would happen to them.

" You better run away. Sami is very scary when he is angry." Elise commented. She didn't know what was happening but could feel the tension of the group.

In her childlike view of the world, she could tell that they were distressed from the beginning which was why she first talked with them. Everyone repeatedly taught her to be kind to others, she was just fulfilling her promise to them!

" Don't talk to him." The girls tried to stop Elise seeing the situation was deteriorating. Unlike them, there were a number of guards, around the young man. Elise didn't care about such small matter, which made the young man even more embarrassed and angry! Who the fuck was this little girl? So brazen!

" Don't worry. Someone like him, Sami could easily deal with him with one hand!" Elise was a devout believer. She had seen Samuel train with other ghost soldiers on occasion, the image of him playing around with them was still fresh in her mind!

" Brat! Let me see who this Sami is! You are not allowed to leave until I make him grovel under my feet!" The young man ordered his people to surround the small group. He was beyond pissed after getting disrespect again and again. Kids of this age always think that their guardians were superheroes, he wanted to give her a reality check so that she wouldn't yap her mouth in the future!

" Humph, don't cry when Sami gets here." She wasn't scared in the slightest and even folded her arms and propped up her chin acting all proud and smug.

The young man could only be astonished seeing a child like this. He didn't know what her parents taught her but he wanted to teach her a lesson. He wasn't a villain but he felt like he was doing a public service. Her parents would definitely thank him in the future.

The matter regarding picking up girls, he temporality kept it at the back of his mind. He knew he came off too aggressive in the beginning but through this lesson, he was hoping to show off his cool side to them. He was going to forgive the little brat in the end but not before exerting his dominance and getting a appropriate apology from whoever this 'Sami' was!

" I am waiting your 'Sami' is late." he smiled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

" S-sir...there is no need to do this. We will apologize for this girl's mistake."

" That's right, do you want to bully her parents because she rubbed your ego?"

" Pathetic!"

" Y-you-" The young man was more angry hearing them berate him so bluntly.

Suddenly they only felt a breeze before a young man appeared out of thin air. He was kneeling beside Elise carefully inspecting her body.

" Elise! You are not hurt right? Let me see..." there was planpatable urgency in his voice. He was hiding his face but somehow everyone could tell that he was handsome.

" I am alright." Elise tried to dodge his hands. The young man breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the girl was not hurt. He stood up looking at dozen or so people surrounding them. Samuel saw the young man standing at the center looking at him.

" What's going on here?" He asked in a solemn tone. Read latest stories on empire

" Are you Sami? It's just-" The french girl tried to explain to him but Elise cut her off in the middle to say.

" He bullied me!" She pointed finger at the young man.

" Oh? Bullied my little princess?"

Soon, the temperature of the surround place started to cool down rapidly. Even Elise felt it, she hugged Samuel's leg because she felt the ominous atmosphere. Even five girls felt it, four of them started involuntarily shaking while only one of them was able to maintain her cool.

The guards who were well trained knew that it was bloodlust, they immediately formed a defensive barrier in front of their client. Young man who was oblivious to everything was confused about the strange chance in the atmosphere.

He could tell that something was wrong, someone who didn't know anything about fighting, he only felt slight shaking curiously looking at his twitching hand. Samuel felt his aura getting out of hand so he retracted most of it.

Since Elise was fine, he took few deep breaths to calm his mind. There was no need to fight these weak chickens, it would only set a bad precedent in front of Elise.

" Forget it. Just scram, don't let me see your face again." He shooed them away not even giving them a second look.
