Clint turned to look at the seven-foot-tall man whose attacks had fallen just short of him. Gale stood unmoving before him.

"Hey, hey. I don't even get a welcome ceremony?"

Then, Clint used a temporal enchantment to teleport himself.

This time, he appeared before the Florentine family's elders.

"And you are?" Zayden immediately became more cautious.

Given the fact that Clint had managed to sneak in when there were so many talented members of the chamber of commerce present and that Gale's powers had become restricted, there was no doubt this man was not one they could afford to underestimate. "I'm Clint from the Melton family in the Southern Territory."

Everyone was shocked when Clint told them his name. They were supposed to rely on their plans to obtain the level of influence the Melton family had over the entire Southern Territory and even the whole country. They had not expected Clint to show up of his own accord.

The Florentine family elders gawked at each other.

Then, Levy got to his feet.

"How could we show any arrogance when the heir to the Melton family has graced us with his presence? But we're dealing with some internal family matters today. I must ask you for your kindness in handing over the woman beside you to us, Mr. Melton." "Are you ordering me?" Clint asked as a sinister expression appeared on his face.

He had actually arrived at the Florentine residence five minutes earlier and overheard their conversation.

Based on Rainie's attitude, he had thought Nigel still had some feelings for her. However, it was evident now that it had all been a part of her silly fantasy.

"Gosh, we would never dare. Never!" Levy said as he hurriedly shook his head.

"That woman is bewitched, and we just wanted to teach her a lesson."

"Teach her a lesson?"

Zayden said as he got to his feet, "Yes, that's right. You may not know this, but Nigel is known within our community for being a player, and many young women have ended up ruined by his good looks."noveldrama

"My poor daughter has ended up in the state she's in today because she got bewitched by him. But don't you worry, Mr. Melton. We've already caught him, and now..."

"Everything you say is so incoherent. What the hell are you even explaining?" Clint retorted.

He had been doing more than just watching the drama unfold as he waited on the rooftop. He had also looked into the Florentine family, as well as Nigel.

Indeed, the man was an addict. He was once from a wealthy family but ended up on the streets after losing his entire fortune.

Despite that, the chamber of

commerce loaned him money, and

he ended up being sold into the Florentine family and becoming servant to the Florentines. He continued sleeping around even after becoming a servant and had indeed ruined the lives of plenty of women.

At the age of 20, he relied on the help of his smarts to become Rainie's servant.

During the five years he spent with Rainie, he also dated nearly 50 other women. Nigel's easy way with words helped him easily charm Rainie.

However, as mentioned, he was an addict who was also extremely ambitious. His plan was to marry Rainie and then steal the Florentine family's fortune so that he could become a millionaire. Things did not go according to plan, though.

When he learned that the Florentine family treated Rainie like trash and she would not be inheriting much of the family's fortune, he decided to wheedle Rainie into escaping from the Florentine residence with him. He would abandon her once he finished draining her of all the value she had to offer.

Rainie, who was deeply in love with Nigel, did not think twice. They were just about to elope when Zayden issued Rainie with her mission, and that was also when he learned of their relationship. Ironically, Nigel ended up being the 'instrument' that the Florentine family used in threatening Rainie.

At this moment, Clint walked over to Nigel.

Nigel's eyes widened as he picked up the dagger and once again flung it toward where Rainie was.

Clint moved a finger, and Nigel immediately disintegrated into tiny fragments.

That powerful aura immediately caused everyone to break out into a cold sweat.

They knew that Clint Melton, the man standing before them, was a man they could not afford to offend-whether from a business perspective or any other perspective.

Clint turned to the Florentines and then pointed at them as he said, "Have you guys decided how you'd like to die?"

"What?" The elders, who were used to being high and mighty all the time, gave Clint incredulous looks.

Clint walked over to Levy and nudged him gently.

Levy disintegrated into a pile of ashes as well.
