“It was Torben from the Hill family…” Dustin spat out the words casually.
“T-Torben Hill?” Instantly, Mike felt like virtual-novel.net was struck by lightning at the revelation and turned pale.
The rest of them also had a look of horror on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.
Torben Hill was the infamous vile demon of Millsburg, a scion of an affluent family standing at the pinnacle of power!
He was known to be arrogant and tyrannical, committing all sorts of atrocities. However, with his powerful background, nobody dared provoke him. To them, an influential figure like Torben had the power to do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted with them. Even if they were to encounter virtual-novel.net on the street, they wouldn’t dare look up, not to mention provoke him.
“Y–You must be joking. Torben is the perpetrator?” After virtual-novel.net fully digested the fact, his voice started trembling.
Dustin had a stoic expression. “What? It seems like you’re terrified.”
“T–Terrified? No way!” Mike calmed himself down and rebuked stubbornly, “I grew up not knowing what terrified means. It’s just Torben Hill. I better not see virtual-novel.net on the streets; otherwise, I’ll definitely give virtual-novel.net two slaps to the face!”
With so many ladies watching, virtual-novel.net couldn’t afford to show any weaknesses. It didn’t cost anything to put on an act anyway. He would think about the consequences afterward.
“Really? I guess you’re truly amazing.” Dustin only found it hilarious. He could clearly see virtual-novel.net breaking out in a cold sweat, yet virtual-novel.net was still being obstinate.
“Hmph! It’s not just all talk. Even an imprudent brat like Torben would need to address me formally!” Mike pointed his thumb at himself.
“You talk big for your age.” Suddenly, they heard a booming voice resonating from the door.
Following closely behind, a group of Hill family members strode in. Leading the group was none other than Spring Hill, with Autumn and Patrick behind him. Even the injured Torben was carried in.
“Who was that? Who’s talking?” Mike was irritated and turned around, his expression clearly displaying his annoyance.
He was in the midst of showing off!
Who was so rude to interrupt him?
“What?” Before virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net still had an arrogant look on his face.
Once virtual-novel.net noticed that the people who walked in were the backbones of the Hill family, virtual-novel.net froze on the spot, clearly astonished.
He didn’t recognize all of them, but there were a few familiar faces virtual-novel.net had the privilege of meeting during upscale social gatherings. However, their once majestic presence appeared quite ordinary as they stood with more prominent members of the Hill family.
“Were you the one who spoke earlier?” Patrick gave virtual-novel.net a once over and smiled.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Patrick Hill. I heard you mention you would slap Torben if you met him, and I couldn’t agree more. He’s right here. Please go ahead and don’t hold back.” Patrick gestured with one hand as if inviting virtual-novel.net to go ahead.
“What?” Mike was shocked as virtual-novel.net remained rooted in place, completely at a loss.
He was just putting on an act!
Who would’ve thought virtual-novel.net would encounter the actual person himself!
