The men and women at the scene had opposite stances.

Those men, who sympathized with Harold, looked at Brittany disdainfully. As for the women, who were on Brittany's side, they looked down on Harold, the pauper.

Brittany was on the verge of exploding with rage when the onlookers' words fell on her ears.

Conversely, Harold turned toward his supporters and nodded thankfully at them.

It was also then that Jon was done buying the movie tickets and emerged from the crowd.

“What's wrong, Brittany? Who is this?” Jon asked while looking at Harold's side profile.

Harold turned around again upon hearing Jon's voice. Similarly, he glanced at Jon, too.

Harold furrowed his thick eyebrows as soon as Jon came into his sight.

Judging from his pale complexion, he must have been leading a life of debauchery. Why would Brittany find herself a man like him?


With just a glance, Harold had already figured Jon out.

Standing right next to Brittany, Jon was frowning at Harold, too.

He felt that Harold looked oddly familiar. It was as though he had met Harold before.

In the meantime, Brittany was oblivious to both Harold and Jon's expressions. She raised her head arrogantly upon hearing Jon's words.

“Look carefully, Harold. This is my current boyfriend, Jon. He's the son of the Sullivan family, one of the most prominent families in Dellmoor. You'd better stop clinging to me! Otherwise, don't blame me if someone breaks all your limbs one day! Take this as a reminder. Nonetheless, if you get to your knees and beg him for mercy now, he'll let you off today!”

Although Brittany had always used to act haughtily in front of Harold in the past, the latter was momentarily stunned when he heard what she had said.

She wants me to get to my knees in front of everyone and beg for her boyfriend's forgiveness? I can't believe she'd take things this far just to give me a warning.

Meanwhile, a thought flashed across Jon's mind when he heard the words “get to your knees.”

It was then that he finally knew why Harold seemed rather familiar.

Gosh! Isn't he the young man who scared Craig out of his wits? Craig got to his knees and prostrated himself on the floor to beg for his mercy in the video!

As these thoughts swirled in Jon's mind, his entire body trembled involuntarily.

How unexpected! The man who got the Underground King of Dellmoor, Craig McGowan, to kneel and bow down before him is Brittany's ex? But that's Craig McGowan, one of the three most powerful figures of Dellmoor! Hmm... Perhaps this man is also the one who helped Brittany settle her family affairs. Jeez, why am I so unlucky? Dad even specifically reminded me not to offend such a big shot last night.

At that moment, Jon recalled that his father instructed him to get out of the way whenever he saw the big shot from afar.

Alas, he bumped into Harold on this day, not to mention that it seemed like he had offended Harold unknowingly as well.
