Chapter 166: POKING HER NOSE

"We are innocent. They attacked us first!" Veronica instantly defended herself, yet her face reddened out of embarrassment. 

"Yes, we are innocent," Catherine played along.   

"I can see how innocent you are, Mistress and Miss Catherine." Darius stepped forward and strode toward the shopkeeper. With his large hand, he grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and hoisted him up. His strength was so intense that he didn't break a sweat when he raised the full-grown man with one hand. Then, he crashed him against the wall and declared, "You have made a huge mistake laying your hands on these two women. You have to pay the price." 

The shopkeeper realized that he picked a fight with the wrong people. "Sp-spare me…" he begged for mercy.

Darius grinned. His smile was almost sadistically devilish, as though he was enjoying the shopkeeper's misery. "Too late. The one who will deal with you is the Master of the Magic Tower. You laid hands on his wife, you know."
