“Step on the line again, and I’ll show you ways to die!”
“You…”
“Get out!” growled Cordelia.
Yelena looked at her, dazed and afraid. Her gaze was still hostile, but she didn’t dare to make a fuss
anymore.
Linda, who came in at this time, caught what happened. Just looking at the mess on the floor was good
enough an indicator of what had happened.
Startled, she was worried that Cordelia would be at a disadvantage and darted over to shove Yelena
away immediately.
Yelena stumbled from the push and slammed herself against the corner of the table, breaking out in a
cold sweat from the pain.
“Linda Quimby, are you crazy!?” Yelena was hysterical. “How dare you shove me!?”

you?”
“Hah, I’m here to bring her business!” Yelena rolled her eyes at her. “Ungrateful brats… You and
Cordelia are the same, blind b*tches!”
Linda found it too much of an effort to argue with her and went up to slap her directly, making Yelena
see stars. She actually wanted to tone the entire matter down after tucking Cordelia behind her, but
Yelena was just this capable—she could bring out the fiercest type of rage deep within someone.
Linda could not help wanting to berate Yelena, seeing the latter’s arrogance, but her brimming fury
blanked her mind out. She usually had a sharp tongue but was at a loss for words at this critical
moment. Since words failed her, she might as well take action!
Linda and Yelena got into a fight, pulling hair and grabbing clothes. Both of them were equally
aggressive.
Cordelia wanted to stop the fight but was unable to get in between them. The inside of the cafe turned
so chaotic in an instant that the passersby stopped to take a peek.
Nicholas was often lurking at a hidden corner behind the shop to observe Zephyr these days. When he
heard the fight’s sounds, he could not help being worried for Linda because he had seen her enter just
now.
As he stepped into the front and saw Linda aggressively taking the upper hand with Yelena disheveled
from the fight, it was only then he realized that his worry was redundant.
Nicholas hacked a hard cough.
His deep voice stood out amidst the screams of the women.
The place fell silent immediately.
Nicholas suddenly found the situation funny. Linda was feisty and bold and as violent as she used to
be.
“What… are you doing?” He entered, plastering a straight face, and looked at Cordelia. “You’re shifting
lanes to a fight club instead of a cafe now?”

Cordelia took a deep breath and frowned. Things were already chaotic as they were. What was this
guy doing here!? She forced herself to calm down, looked at Linda, and tidied her ruffled hair.
Linda kept a scowl on. She met Nicholas’ eyes, and the corners of her lips pulled into a sorrowful and
self-deprecating smile.
Nicholas had two underlings with him. All three of them were tall and well-built—with an intimidating
look, too—so they easily scared the women.
Yelena suffered a huge loss. She was helped by others and was about to spew insults when she
suddenly met Nicholas’ dark and cold gaze. She was startled, and her mind went blank. Then, she
quickly ducked her head to avoid his gaze.
Nicholas found it strange and quietly studied her.
He chuckled and turned to Yelena. “Miss, you look like you’re injured quite badly. Should I send you to
the hospital?”
