(Daniel’s P.O.V.]
It was my fault that the shop in Empress’s Alley was still losing money after the recent major business restructuring.
‘There were many proposals submitted by the staff, but I wanted to choose a proposal for the flower shop.
‘There were few people in Empress Alley, there were many working-class residents, and flowers were not a necessity. It was almost impossible to make a profit from selling flowers.
‘Asa businessman, I knew very well that this was a loss-making business. Albeit, I did it anyway. The reason was simple. I was homesick.
Twas a werewolf. I grew up in the forest, but in the human world, there were many tall buildings, and the air was stuffy. I had not been close to nature for a long time.
So when I saw the proposal for the flower shop, knowing the loss, I still agreed.
For a long time, the financial interests of the company’s perspective had pointed out this problem in meetings. I am proud of my responsible and outspoken employees, but out of selfishness, I always let the store stay.
Until today, Martina proposed the idea of building a Werewolf Cultural Street, I decided to temporarily give up on the idea of the flower shop. It was worth it to trade one shop for the implementation of the Werewolf Cultural project.
However, I wanted to take a look at this botanical garden before it was demolished.
Grimm’s car was still outside, which meant that Martina and he were both there. However, I did not see any of them around.
The door of the manager’s office on the second floor was tightly shut and locked from the inside. I could not help but wonder what trade secrets they were discussing inside. I knocked on the door and wanted to enter.
“Who is it?” I did not know if it was my imagination, but Grimm gnashed his teeth. Normally, he would only speak to me in such a tone when I had given him a full three-month shift.
“It’s me,” I replied frankly.
I do not recall giving Grimm a long shift. It was definitely not because of me that he was unhappy. Sure enough, the door was immediately opened. Grimm welcomed me in and immediately locked the door.
Martina was squatting on the ground, trembling. Both of her hands were covering her head. It was a standard protective action. I looked at Grimm in puzzlement. He said in a low voice, “She met the person who once hurt her. They’re downstairs.”
The person who once hurt her was not the person who raped her? That person was dealt with by Grimm, right?
“Didn’t you already take down that gang?”
Grimm’s expression was grave. “Martina’s beautiful. There must be many people going after her.”
“Ridiculous!” I punched the desk. The girl’s appearance was like the heavens. It was a gift from her parents. It was the most beautiful and pure thing.
What was it all for? By having the existence of some sc*mbags, *ssholes, and perverts, because of their evil intentions, the innocent, kind, and beautiful girl would be in danger and live in pain if she was not careful.
‘What was wrong with people these days?
Martina was a maid. She must have suffered a lot in the past. I slowly walked up to her and squatted down to promise her something, “You are my store manager now. I won’t let anyone hurt my employees. You wait here. I’ll make those trashbags pay the price.”
Martina did not say anything. She just raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were filled to the brim with tears, making people have the urge to want to protect her.
“Trust me. I can save you under such circumstances. I can also protect you in the future.”
I instructed Grimm to keep an eye on Martina. I opened the door and rushed out.
How dare these trashbags step into my territory. They must be courting death!
I observed from the stairway entrance. My eyesight and hearing were excellent. This distance was enough for me to understand who the burly men who appeared in the store were.
At first, they were polite. They just took the photo and asked my shop assistant if he had seen this person. My shop assistant had never seen this person before and answered truthfully. However, one of the shop assistants was obviously stunned when he saw the photo. Those people were certain that the
person they were looking for was with me, so they began to search my shop.
From how they were acting, I did not have to hold back. The security cameras were all watching what they were doing anyway.
Irushed down the stairs quickly and grabbed the flowers before the man smashed the flower pot. I sent him to sleep with a strong punch.
‘When his partner was beaten up, the others quickly surrounded me. They saw that I was alone, so their attitudes were cocky.
“Kid, don’t meddle in other people’s business. You have no right to be this nosy! Piss off!”
I could not be bothered to waste my breath on trash. I raised my hand and pointed at the monitor. They obviously did not understand what I meant. They rushed over while cursing me.
“You brought this upon yourselves.”
Iraised my hand and twisted a person’s arm. At the same time, I bent down to dodge the flower pot that was hurling at me. I used the twisted arm person as a barrier and raised my leg to kick someone else in the face. The three of them were immediately sent flying.
The remaining people were even more useless. I did not even have to use much strength to knock them down easily. Once they were all on the ground, only then did their leader arrive. He hesitated and dared not to make a move against me, he was just bluffing, “We’re the bodyguards of the Marcus family.
We’re looking for the missing miss. Aren’t you afraid of the Marcus family taking revenge for what you’ve done?”
I shrugged and said indifferently, “The Marcus family? The Marcus family that’s on the verge of bankruptcy? Feel free to come and meet us if you are. Silver Mountain Group will wait right here..”
