Chapter 015：Strike When the Time is Right

Stan's face looked like he had just eaten something disgusting.

"Nora, I was wrong. I really was. It was all this woman's doing. She seduced me. I don't even like her. My heart belongs to you. Please, you have to believe me!"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Stan pushed Una away and clung to Nora's leg like a dog.

"Haha! This guy, dressed all smart, I thought he was a rich and handsome man. Turns out he's just a gigolo sucking up to a rich woman!"

"Wow, this guy's tastes are heavy. He can even go for a woman this fat. Impressive!"

"Honestly, if I could, I might do the same!"

Una was completely stunned! Her mind was buzzing. She couldn't believe that her tall, handsome, and seemingly wealthy boyfriend was actually a gigolo being supported by a woman.

"Did she really seduce you? Fine, I'll give you a chance. Slap her twice in front of me and strip her clothes off. If you do that, I'll forgive you. Otherwise, hand over the car keys and we are done forever," Nora demanded aggressively.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Stan, completely heartless, actually slapped Una twice in front of everyone. And he didn't hold back. Una's face almost swelled up from the hits.

"Stan, you..."

"What 'you'? You whore! Seducing someone else's boyfriend. The necklace on your neck is mine, take it off now!"

Facing Nora's aggressive attitude, Una felt an overwhelming sense of injustice. She didn't even know Stan had a girlfriend. She was a victim too. Why did everyone see her as the other woman? Not a single person stood up for her.

Under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Una experienced the greatest humiliation of her life.

At this moment, a clean-cut young man suddenly stood up. His face was expressionless as he picked up a bowl of steaming miso soup, walked up behind Stan, and smashed it over his head.

"Crash!"

A loud sound echoed. The bowl shattered, and the boiling hot soup drenched Stan.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting people?" Nora demanded.

"I'm hitting this bastard, Stan. You're a scumbag!" Arthur was relentless and didn't seem to want to let Stan off easily.

"You bastard, you broke jerk! How dare you hit me? I'll kill you!" Stan quickly reacted after being hit. With a twisted expression, he started wrestling with Arthur.

When it came to fighting, Arthur was actually at a disadvantage compared to Stan. Stan was 183 cm tall and weighed 70 kg, while Arthur was only 179 cm tall and weighed 63 kg. In terms of size and strength, he was no match for Stan.

But at that moment, Arthur noticed that Una's affection for him was skyrocketing.

Una: Affection +20

Una: Affection +20

Una: Affection +20

Originally, Una's affection for him had already risen to 35 points. Now, after stepping in, her affection soared by 60 points, reaching a total of 95 points. Arthur was completely surprised. It turned out that saving a damsel in distress at the right moment could make a girl instantly feel a surge of affection, even turning her into a backup admirer.

Taking action when needed was a man's duty.

Una was already in tears. She couldn't believe that, at a time when she was being humiliated as a mistress, the one who truly stood up for her was Arthur. It was only Arthur. This was the man she had once looked down upon. The man she had treated like a dog, commanding him at will. The man she had driven away with harsh words. In her moment of real danger, only this man was willing to stand up for her.

Suddenly, she recalled the past three years, where Arthur had cared for her, always being attentive. Compared to Stan, who sweet-talked her but did nothing real for her, Arthur had always been there for her. In the end, even Stan's wealthy background was fake. She was foolish to be so blinded by the idea of marrying into wealth, only to end up in such a state.

In times of crisis, true nature is revealed. Arthur was the one who had always treated her well. She truly regretted it!

Clearly, Una was overthinking it. Arthur stepping in this time wasn't because he couldn't forget her or still had feelings for her. He had wanted to hit Stan for a long time but just hadn't found the right opportunity. Seeing Stan's shameless behavior today disgusted him! It was time to settle old scores. Whether he could win or not, he had to strike first!

"Ding! Target number two, Una, has reached an affection level of 95 points for the host. Congratulations on your success!"

"Ding! Target number two spent a total of $50,000 on the host, rewarding the host with $5,000!"

"Ding! Una successfully converted to the host's admirer, rewarding 20 enhancement points!"

Name: Arthur

Age: 21

Height: 179 cm

Weight: 63 kg

Strength: 9

Constitution: 9

Spirit: 10

Agility: 9

Perception: 10

(10 is peak adult human level)

Status: Suboptimal health

Skills: None

Enhancement points: 20

"Please choose your enhancement direction."

"I choose to enhance 10 points in strength and 10 points in constitution!"

Seeing the system interface suddenly pop up in front of him, Arthur didn't hesitate to add points to his strength and constitution.

"Ding! Enhancement successful! Current strength: 19 points, current constitution: 19 points!"

The next second, Arthur felt a warm stream flow through his body. His originally thin frame suddenly felt an explosive surge of strength.

Stan was gripping Arthur's neck, ready to punch him in the face. But suddenly, Arthur's arm tightened and not only did he firmly grasp Stan's fist, but he also lifted him off the ground and smashed him down hard.

"Damn it! I'll kill you!"

"Bang!"

As Stan got up from the ground, Arthur kicked him hard, sending the six-foot-tall man flying three meters away. At this point, Stan didn't dare to fight back anymore. Who would have thought that Arthur, who looked so skinny, could be so fierce in a fight? Despite being much bigger, Stan was completely outmatched and lost his fighting ability within moments.

"Arthur, thank you!" Una said with tears in her eyes.

"No need to thank me. I didn't do it for you. I just couldn't stand him for a long time," Arthur replied truthfully.

But Una clearly didn't believe that. She thought Arthur still cared for her but just couldn't swallow his pride from before.

"Nora, help me, take me to the hospital. I'm seriously hurt," Stan pleaded.

"Get lost, you scumbag! You deserved that beating. Hey, handsome, can I get your WhatsApp?" Nora showed no sympathy for Stan and instead approached Arthur to ask for his WhatsApp. Arthur's decisive actions and the way he beat up Stan were incredibly attractive to her. This was a real man!
