Chapter 16

In a flash, everyone was stunned. After all, no one in Starcity dared to go against Dante's orders. But that day, the seemingly ordinary peasant boy wasn't showing him any respect at all.

Dante's expression turned chilly, and his eyes radiated murder.

Off to the side, Greg was close to bursting with laughter as he inwardly crowed, Kill him! Finish him off!

"Mr. Reigns, h-hurry up and apologize to Mr. Fowler!"

Stephanie hastily tugged at Scott sleeve, feeling so apprehensive that she was drenched in a cold sweat.

"How dare you go against Mr. Fowler, kid? You must have a death wish!" one of Dante's lackeys roared as he swung his fist at Scott without waiting for orders from his boss.

"Mr. Fowler, I apologize on behalf of Reigns!"

Diego descended into a panic when he saw that Dante's lackey was about to make a move. However, he didn't dare order his men to act since his dozens of security guards were no match for Dante's several hundred lackeys, even if he were to risk his life. The ending would be the same, everyone present there might end up dead and the Vaquez family would only be dragged into the mess.

Dante said nothing, neither entertaining his apology nor ordering his lackey to stop cause he felt insulted. No one have ever spoken to him that way and everyone tremble at his presence.

That lackey of his was tall and burly and was almost a head taller than Scott. Not only that, he was bulging with muscles. Therefore, Scott would probably be crippled even if he didn't die from that single blow.

Both Greg and Laurel regarded Scott with a sneer. George and Eliza likewise anticipated seeing his pitiful state in a moment, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. That went doubly for the former since he was still hurting badly from the slap that sent him flying earlier. Therefore, he wanted to see Scott crippled and if possible dead.

But just as the lackey's fist drew close to Scott's face, he reached out and caught the gigantic fist. No matter how much force the man exerted, he found that he simply couldn't move his hand.

At that sight, everyone was bowled over. Even Dante couldn't help taking a closer look at Scott.

Alas, he felt as though he was on the verge of a heart attack and wished the ground would open up and swallow him when he truly scrutinized the man.

He noticed the bronze-colored ring on Scott's finger as well as the carved dragon on it.

The Dragon Ring! That's the Dragon Ring! The person who wears the Dragon Ring is the overlord of the League of assassins!

He fell into a trance for a moment. In the next second, he bellowed, "Get the hell away! Who asked you to make a move?"

After roaring at his lackey, he sent the man flying with a kick.

"Please forgive my ignorance, Mr. Reigns!" Dante hastily apologized to Scott.

He had never expected the overlord of the League of assassins to grace the insignificant Starcity with his presence when the League of assassins was the most mysterious organization in the entire world. With a mere flick of its finger, the whole world would tremble.

In fact, Dante's ravaging dynasties was under the command of the League of assassins. The League of assassins had a total of thirteen dynasties in the whole of Chunli , and the Ravaging dynasties was only one of them. However, when they weren't summoned, the dynasties operated independently without revealing their identities.

For that reason, Dante could only address Scott as Mr. Reigns right then.

Seeing his sudden change of attitude toward Scott, everyone was bewildered. They had no idea what he was trying to do.

Even Scott himself was quite taken aback.

"Don't I need to apologize anymore?" he questioned tentatively with his gaze fixated on Dante.

"No, of course not! How would I dare ask that you apologize, Mr. Reigns? Please just say the word if you have any requests!"

Stricken with terror, Dante quickly shook his head. No matter what, I wouldn't dare ask the overlord of the League of assassins to apologize!

"I said they won't be getting married if I attend the wedding," Scott commented placidly.

Nodding, Dante turned and announced loudly, "The wedding today is canceled! Everyone can get lost now!"

"Mr. Fowler…"

Micheal gaped at him, nonplussed.

If the wedding is called off, the Queen family will become the laughing stock of Starcity and shame would really stick on the family's name for a long time.

However the people present were really trembling in fear and didn't understand how the tables turned so swiftly. They really don't want to get involved in the conflict....
