Chapter 4: You Play Tricks with Me?
"Interesting. Richard Thompson, how dare you play tricks with me?" James said.
There were coldness and disdain in James's eyes. He said arrogantly, "No matter what you have done, you are still a poor guy. Do you really take yourself as somebody that can control everything?"
"As far as I am considered, you are just a good-for-nothing! And you want to destroy the Miller family? You are still wet behind the ears!" he sneered.
"Be smart. Let my wife go. And then, get out of here or I'll kill you!" he added.
Although Richard was strong and nimble, compared with Miller's family's power, he was just second- rater.
Therefore, he did not take Richard seriously at all.
He glanced at Richard, then stared at Catherine and said, "Catherine, don't forget that only my marrow is suitable for Maria. Marry me, or she will die!"
"James Miller, you asshole!" Catherine scolded gritting her teeth.
"Thank you for the compliment. Don't you know that ‘Be shameless’ is my motto?" James answered.
He looked down his nose at everybody, and said, "The Miller family is one of the powerful families in Evento. Compared with my big family, Richard, what do you think you are?"
In his eyes, Richard was nobody. Even if he was strong to fight, he couldn’t hurt James at all.
As long as the Miller family wanted to kill Richard, he would no longer live in this world.
Therefore, he was emboldened and did not take Richard seriously.
He stared at Richard arrogantly and said coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you that, it was I that let people to force you go abroad five years ago. All was my arrangement. What can you do to me?"
"What?" Catherine was shocked.
Richard answered coldly, "I knew it already."
"Well, interesting. Even you knew it, what can you do? What will change even you are back? Richard, get real. In front of our Miller family, you are nothing." James scoffed.
James grinned, and said word by word, "Now, it is I who can save your bastard. Kneel to apologize to me. Maybe I can keep you alive!"
He was fearless and arrogant as if he could kill Richard at any time.
"You court death!" Richard shouted.
Richard gazed at him coldly, and then struck his face as quickly as a lightning.
Crack!
The punch was infused with anger and broke James's nose.
"Damn!" James cried.
James's shout was full of grievance and anger. He covered his nose and glowered at Richard, "You asshole, how dare you?"
All people were stunned.
There was a deathly hush in the room.
No one could believe that Richard would have the guts to hit James with everyone watching.
"So what?" Richard said coldly.
Richard hit James as fast as lightning and lifted him and slammed him to the ground fiercely again.
Instantly James vomited blood and felt like his viscera broken and couldn’t utter a word for a while.
The patriarch of the Miller family, George Miller, saw that and roared, "Richard, enough! This is the Miller’s place, not somewhere that you can run riot as you wish. Kneel down immediately to apologize and then get out!"
"Kneel down to apologize and then get out!"
The rest members of the Miller family stood up and roared with one voice, staring at Richard and his helpers.
"Richard, what can we do now?" Catherine said with worry. She was frightened by their vibe and trembled with fear. Her eyes were full of fear and desperation.
At this time, it occurred to her that the Miller family was a powerful behemoth, behind which was a giant in Evento supported the Miller family. She was in despair.
Once the Miller family used all its forces, the consequence would be unimaginable. Perhaps their daughter Maria could not be rescued.
When the people present including Oliver and Duke heard the conversation, they all sneered and were ready to watch what would go on.
The Miller family was one of the biggest and most powerful families in Evento.
In front of the Miller family, Richard’s efforts to fight against them would just be as effective as Canute’s.
Richard held Catherine's hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry. I’ll fix them.”
"So funny." James laughed.
Hearing what Richard said, James dissolved into laughter, and said with arrogance and disdain, "Richard, are you addicted to acting? You alone want to destroy our Miller family? How delusional you are!"
"Richard, I wonder if you have lost your mind." someone mocked.
Others were laughing as well.
"You’re risking your neck!" George said with disdain and stared at him coldly.
Glancing at the Millers coldly, Richard comforted Catherine, "Don't be afraid. We are here today to get even with them!"
He waved his hand, seethed, and said word by word, "The Miller family acts arbitrarily. Even a thousand slashes at them will not suffice as to their villainies!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"All the soldiers listen to my order, destroy the Miller family!" he shouted.
At this time, James still thought Richard was looking for trouble to fight against their Miller family. No matter how strong Richard was, he could only do by himself.
Boom!
As they taunted, suddenly there was a large roar outside the door.
With Pierre leading the team, more than thirty chariots and over three hundred soldiers came as a torrent of steel and approached fiercely.
