Chapter 492

"It was Torben from the Hill family." Dustin

spat out the words casually.

"Torben Hill?" Instantly, Mike felt like he was struck by lightning at th

e revelation and turned pale. The rest of them also had

a look of horror on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

Torben Hill was the infamous vile demon of Millsburg, a scion of an afflu

ent family standing at the pinnacle of power! He was known to be arrogant

and tyrannical, committing all sorts of atrocities. However, with his po

werful background, nobody dared provoke him. To them, an

influential figure like Torben had the power to do whatever he wanted wit

h them. Even if they were to encounter him on the street, they wouldn't d

are look up, not to mention provoke him.

"Y–

you must be joking. Torben is the perpetrator?" After he fully digested

the fact, his voice started trembling.

Dustin had a stoic expression. "What?

It seems like you're terrified."

"T–

terrified? No way!" Mike calmed himself down and rebuked stubbornly, "I g

rew up not knowing what terrified means. It's just Torben Hill. I better

not see him on the streets; otherwise, I'll definitely give him two slaps

to the face!"

With so many ladies watching, he couldn't afford to show any weaknesses.

It didn't cost anything to put on an act anyway. He would think about the

consequences afterward.

"Really? I guess you're truly amazing." Dustin only found it hilarious. H

e could clearly see him breaking out in a cold sweat, yet he was still be

ing obstinate.

"Hmph! It's not just all talk. Even an

imprudent brat like Torben would need to address me formally!" Mike point

ed his thumb at himself.

"You talk big for your age." Suddenly, they heard a booming voice resonat

ing from the door. Following closely behind, a group of Hill family membe

rs strode in. Leading the group was none other than Spring Hill, with Aut

umn and Patrick behind him. Even the injured Torben was carried in.

"Who was that? Who's talking?" Mike was irritated and turned around, his

expression clearly displaying his annoyance. He was in the midst of showi

ng off! Who was so rude to interrupt him?

"What?" Before he turned around, he still had an arrogant look on his fac

e. Once he noticed that the people who walked in were the backbones of th

e Hill family, he froze on the spot, clearly astonished.

He didn't recognize all of them, but there were a few familiar faces he h

ad the privilege of meeting during upscale social gatherings. However, th

eir once majestic presence appeared quite ordinary as they stood with mor

e prominent members of the Hill family.

"Were you the one who spoke earlier?" Patrick gave him a once over and sm

iled.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Patrick Hill. I heard you mention you would

slap Torben if you met him, and I couldn't agree more. He's right here.

Please go ahead and don't hold back." Patrick gestured with one hand as i

f inviting him to go ahead.

"What?" Mike was shocked as he remained

rooted in place, completely at a loss. He was just putting on an act. Who

would've thought he would encounter the actual person himself!
