"S.. Stop.. D... Don't come clo.." Long Dahai stuttered
"Apologize." Without giving Long Dahai any time to finish his sentence, Tie Zhu had sternly interrupted him.
Almost instantly, as if he had forgotten about everyone around him Long Dahai immediately fell to his knees. "Y.. Yes! I'm sorry for what I did to you, I.. I didn't mean any of it and it won't happen again, please forgive me!" he cried as if seeing light at the end of a tunnel.
"Hmph, not to me apologize to my girlfriend!" Tie Zhu said coldly.
"Yes yes, I am a scum and I should not have said what I said." Long Dahai pleaded as he repeatedly bowed his head. "C.. Can I go now?" he asked nervously as the pool underneath him slowly expanded.
".. Almost" Tie Zhu said as he rudely tightly gripped Long Dahai's right wrist. "Crack!" A crisp audible snap sounded breaking the still silence.
"AHHHH" Long Dahai yelled clutching his wrist as he bent over sprawled in the floor.
"Since your bodyguard took one arm for you I'll let you off with just one broken arm. Be careful of what you say next time and don't let me see you again otherwise it won't be so simple." He spoke as he glared intensely at Long Dahai. Although Tie Zhu's voice was cold and calm as he spoke the inside of his mind was anything but so, as bloodthirsty thoughts echoed throughout.
His piecing gaze had even caused Long Dahai's entire body to momentarily freeze in shock, as if the devil had personally set his eyes on him. 'H... He is a devil, I have to get away as soon as possible!' he thought as he saw Tie Zhu's eyes flicker a golden hue.
'What was that.. No l must be imagining things...' he thought as he miserably stumbled off the ground towards his bodyguards direction before waking him up as they both fled away.
As Tie Zhu struggled to contain the savage thoughts racing through his mind, had not not noticed the bewildered expressions of the onlookers or Tao Keke who seemed somewhat concerned. All he could do for the time being was to try repress those emotions while thinking of calm thoughts.
Unknown to both Tie Zhu and Long Dahai and mostly everyone who had been spectating, their brief Confrontation had actually been filmed by one of the spectators and would quickly be uploaded online. However what was surprising was that before it had even been up for ten minutes the footage along with any traces had inexplicably been deleted! Not only from the internet but from the original source as well!
"I..Im sorry. I don't know what happened to me then. When he treated you like that I just couldn't take it anymore" Tie Zhu quietly said to Tao Keke who was standing close by once he had finally regained his normal senses. If it had been any time in the past, although he would have still tried protecting Tao Keke he knew his thoughts would have never been so sinister. It was as if he had a monster inside him, and he had a strong inclination that in the future his thoughts would only become more dark.
When Tao Keke heard that Tie Zhu had lost his temper for her sake a faint blush once again bloomed on her cheeks. "... It's okay... But next time don't be so aggressive. What if they decide to retaliate? Anyway, let's just get out of here first.."
"Don't worry, If he chooses to come back I'll make him regret it." Tie Zhu reassured Tao Keke before calling for the saleswoman to purchase the dress.
As the transaction went smoothly the rest of the onlookers looked on in shock as a seemingly poor teenager had so casually spent such an otherwise enormous sum of money, leaving them to wonder what background Tie Zhu had.
'I can't let that happen again.. I'll have to ask Wang Yazhu about it later..' He said to himself as the violent thoughts he had just moments ago had caused him to even fear himself.
Seeing how everything had unfolded, the woman that Long Dahai had entered with also fled with fear and embarrassment. Not only did she fear for her life that Tie Zhu would eventually target her, she ended up receiving nothing from that pathetic excuse for a man in Long Dahai.
After Tie Zhu and Tao Keke had been strolling around the shopping mall for around five minutes Tie Zhu had finally completely regained his normal senses. Holding her hand they eventually found their way to a large arcade.
Seeing that it was inconvenient to carry large shopping bags, Tie Zhu secretly found a spot where no one was watching before storing them within his spatial stone, making up a casual excuse to Tao Keke. Although she was still somewhat suspicious she quickly forgot about it as the two enjoyed playing the various activities within the arcade before finally leaving with a large stuffed fox plushie.
Before they knew it it was already late in the afternoon, and both of them had almost forgotten about the unfortunate incident earlier.
"Grrrrr..." Feeling his stomach growling in hunger, Tie Zhu took out his phone to look at the time. "Huh! It's already 7:30? How did time go past so quickly? Hey, Keke what do you feel like eating for dinner?" He asked.
"... I want you to cook for me... Wasn't that what you promised me before... Or did you forget?" Tao Keke said shyly as she stared down at her feet. In fact if she had not tried Tie Zhu's cooking the day she may have not mentioned it, but although she had only tasted it once she felt as if she had already become addicted to it. Even though Tie Zhu had taken her to a Michelin star restaurant for lunch, it had somehow paled in comparison to the taste of Tie Zhu's meals.
"Ah.... Of course I didn't forget.. But it will take a long time to drive back home and that not including the time it ta..." Tie Zhu said, however before he finished his sentence he was cut of as Tao Keke attempted to pinch his waist. "Hey okay okay, your the boss! Let's go home then." he cried pretending that her pinched hurt him as he stared at her pouting face while her other arm tightly held the large fox plushie.
"Gggrrrrrooooowlll"
