Chapter 23: Beating Up the Bald Man

"Ah..." Just as Basil Jaak was relishing his food, a sudden cry of pain reached his ears.

Following the sound, Basil Jaak looked over to see Zara Woods sitting on the ground, wincing and holding her foot, looking very much in pain, while Aries and Broderick stood by, with Aries incessantly berating Zara.

Basil Jaak instantly slammed on the table in a fury, leaped from his chair, and rushed over to deliver a loud slap across Aries's face.

"Smack!"

The slap was crisp. Not only did it stun Aries, but also all the onlookers and Broderick beside him, who looked at Basil Jaak incredulously, not expecting him to actually hit someone.

Basil Jaak paid no mind to the idiots' stares, bent down, picked up the seated Zara from the ground, and gently placed her on a chair. He asked with concern, "Zara, where does it hurt?"

"My knee stings a bit, probably just a scrape, it's nothing serious, Jaak," Zara replied, shaking her head at Basil Jaak.
