"Move!" Ryder stepped forward, his voice cold and commanding.
His oppressive aura was frightening.
Hugh and Nico froze and instinctively stepped aside,

Brenda stood up in surprise. She could never have expected that Stephanie herself would walk into their little soup restaurant.
"Ma-Madam Stephanie, w-welcome," Brenda stammered, her voice shaking with excitement.
Stephanie nodded slightly and sat beside Brenda.
She turned to Marrisa and asked Brenda, "Is she the owner of this place?"
"Y-Yes, Madam," Brenda replied, her voice trembling.
Marrisa felt a wave of nervousness as well.
Since the day she'd opened her restaurant, she'd never had a customer so refined and dignified.
"Yes, Madam. You can just call me Marrisa."
Stephanie smiled and nodded. "Marrisa, I've heard your soup is wonderful. Would you mind making me a bowl?"
Marrisa glanced nervously at Robin, then at Hugh and his men, before answering, "I'm so sorry, Madam!
"My restaurant is involved in a bit of trouble today.
"Would you please come back another time?
"It'll be on me.
"Please, Madam, you and your friend should leave. I don't want anything to happen to you here,"
Stephanie smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Marrisa. Go ahead and make the soup. No one will harm you while I'm here."
Marrisa looked uncertainly at Stephanie and Ryder, then back at Hugh.
She was in a dilemma.
Brenda quickly whispered, "Marrisa, no one will dare cause trouble."
Robin gave Marrisa an encouraging nod. "It's fine, Marrisa. There won't be any trouble.
"They came all this way just to try your soup-they'd be disappointed if you didn't serve it."
Marrisa took a deep breath before managing a smile at Stephanie and Ryder. "Alright. Please give me a
moment."

Hugh and Nico, who had initially been intimidated by Ryder's aura, took a moment to reassert themselves. After all, it seemed ridiculous that such a high-profile person would come to a place like this. Summoning his courage, Hugh approached Stephanic with a sneer. "Didn't I say this place is closed today?
You need to leave now.
Stephanie glanced at him and asked, "Do you even know who I am?"
"Do you think I care about that? Let me tell you who I am!" Hugo scoffed.
Ryder was about to intervene, but Stephanie gestured for him to wait. "Go on, then. I wish to see who gave you the right to act like a king here?"
"You'll be terrified when you hear of the name. My backer is none other than Terenova's Underground Queen, Stephanie!
"I'm going to beat you up if you don't get lost now!"
Stephanie raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, so Stephanie is backing you now? Why didn't I know that there's some trash like you within the Rogarios?"
Brenda looked at Hugh with pity.
After seeing the brutal events at Dreamscape Bar last night, she had felt the immense power of the Rogarios and the ruthless command of Terenova's Underground Queen.
Yet here Hugh was, making an absolute fool of himself right before the real thing.
Little did he know, his fate had already been sealed.
At hearing Stephanie's words, Hugh smashed his fist on the table, laughing.
"Do you know who you're talking to, you old hag?
"Do you think having a bit of money makes you someone special around here?"
"Do you know what Ryder will do to you if I tell him about you?"
Ryder rolled his eyes.
He'd seen people seeking death, but he rarely saw anyone so eager to dive straight into it like Hugh.noveldrama
He grabbed Hugh by the collar and barked, "Kid, how dare you disrespect Madam Stephanie?"
Hugh's face turned white as a sheet. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt the cold grip of hell.
Nico and the others circled Ryder and pointed their knives at him.
"Let him go! I'm warning you, our backers are the Rogarios!"
Ryder nearly crushed Hugh with a single slap but was stopped by Stephanie.

sp "Wait. I want to see which of the Koparios would back trash like this.
*Parading around with the Rogarion name will come alla high price!
Ryder let go of Hugh and stared at them coldly.
Hugh and Nico felt uneasy under his gaze.
Stephanie spoke as though the were someone important in the Rogarios family.
Still, it seemed impossible that someone as powerful as the Underground Queen would show up here.
They scoffed and laughed.
"Alright, I'll show you what we're made of since you're so curious about it
He turned to a blonde lackey behind him. "Call Mr. Pule and tell him to come over?"

Stephanie frowned slightly. "Ryder, is there really someone named Pule in the family?"
