Luck is a Charm

"MADAM EVIE, I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!" As Daemon Kaiso roared outside of the Palace Moon Restaurant, everyone fled in panic.

There were some brave people that tried to stay and watch the show but after that outburst, their gut went down their stomach.

"Hurry up and leave, otherwise the Kaiso Patriarch may kill us in rage."

"Yea, we're nobodies so the imperial family wouldn't care to charge him any crimes."

The street soon became empty with Daemon Kaiso standing outside, waiting on Madam Evie.

Evie knew she couldn't just send him away so she had no choice but to walk out and meet with him.

'I'm so going to rip your guts out Zen.' Evie cursed him inwardly as she faced Daemon Kaiso.

With a smile, Evie said, "What honors do our restaurant have to bring the renowned Patriarch Daemon Kaiso to come here?"

"Hmph, you can spare me the flattery, Madam Evie. You know exactly what I want." Daemon Kaiso replied coldly.

Giving off a soft sigh, Evie waved her hand and a guard soon came outside with a chair to let her sit.

However, the guard only brought one chair, meaning Daemon Kaiso will have to continue to stand up.

Although Daemon Kaiso was not in the mood to sit down, he was still a bit ticked off for not being offered a chair.

"Such great hospitality for a puny restaurant," Daemon Kaiso sneered at Evie but didn't do any other actions.

"We are indeed a puny restaurant so there's no way we can handle a prestigious guest like you." Evie ignored his sneering and continued to fire back with more poisonous words.

Daemon Kaiso became bright red from being fuming mad. Not only did his son become a cripple and can no longer produce an heir. He was also missing as of this moment with location unknown.

Now, he is being dissed by Madam Evie, a woman no less. And who was he? Daemon Kaiso, the fearsome and ferocious man in the Jade Kingdom.

"I'm not in a good mood to argue with you, Madam Evie. So tell me, what is the identity of that unknown young man who trashed my son." Daemon Kaiso said as he increased his aura.

Evie kept quiet and snapped her finger. A few moments later, the same guard came out with a cup filled with tea.

Evie grabbed the cup and waved her hand to dismiss the guard before taking a sip.

Being disrespectful this much, Daemon Kaiso was at his limit and roared, "If you refuse to tell me then don't blame me for not being polite."

After Daemon Kaiso said his word, he started casting some spell where five holy arrows appeared behind, ready to shoot at his command.

Evie finally took a glance at him at this time and smirked, "Who do you think you are?"

"I'M DAEMON KAISO, THE PATRIARCH OF THE KAISO FAMILY," Daemon Kaiso shouted before shooting one of the holy arrows at Evie.

Evie didn't even blink as the light arrow landed 2m next to her and with a loud boom.

The ground became a crater while Evie continued sipping her drink. Almost like she expected him to miss his target.

"Oho, here I thought you would have the confidence to lay a hand on me," Evie said teasingly and crossed her legs in amusement.

'As expected of a patriarch, knowing my secret identity and trying to lay a finger on me is the worst thing you can possibly do.' Evie laughed inside for such a predictable outcome.

"Hmph, don't think that I won't move against you just because you are from that family." Daemon Kaiso yelled but his words contradict his action.

He was all barked but no teeth since he didn't dare to fire another arrow in case he actually offended Evie.

"Talk to me again in that tone and I guarantee you what it means to be worse than your dumb cripple son, Jared Kaiso," Evie threw her cup on the floor as it broke into pieces.

Gritting his teeth very hard, Daemon Kaiso had veins popping out from his forehead.

If he weren't afraid of the family she was in, he would have long tortured her to death if she didn't give him the information he wanted.

Unfortunately, it was only an if so it was never a possible method for Daemon Kaiso to gain any information on that unknown man.

"I apologize for my tone but you'll have to understand my position. My son was crippled in public and taken hostage." Daemon Kaiso said calmly.

Meanwhile, Evie smiled in victory for successfully dealing with people like them.

'Unlike that cheeky Zen who doesn't fear anything, at least someone is sensible enough to cower before me.' Evie said inwardly as she finally released some of her pent-up stress.

She was taken advantage of by Zen not long ago and he even dares to leave behind this kind of mess for her to handle.

'If my family learned about this news, I wonder what they will react.' Evie prayed that her family would never receive this news.

After all, she was known as the merciless and shrewd woman who can manipulate anyone with a finger.

"I'm glad you learn to use the correct tone this time. Seeing how you just lost your son to be able to conceive an heir for you, I shall forgive you this one time. However, there will be no second chance." Evie narrowed her eyes and spoke chillingly.

Daemon Kaiso was ashen by her change of attitude and despite being a man known to kill anyone without batting an eyelid, there were some people he cannot offend.

Madam Evie was one of those people where he'll have to give some respect to otherwise, his life can be easily taken away.

"I thank Madam Evie for the forgiveness but… may I know if you're acquainted with that unknown man." Daemon Kaiso said as he clenched his fist secretly.

Evie knew he was holding his anger and smile since she didn't want to push him too far.

"Acquaintance or not, that is not your concern at all. The only information I can tell you is that his name is Zen Von Hennings." Evie said and stood up to enter the restaurant.

Daemon Kaiso could only stand there and watch her back disappear inside. 'Fuck, I will remember this humiliation.'
