"Hey young man, you look radiant these days. You must be doing quite well."
The leader said with a sinister grin.
Fei'er looked coldly at the group of people with ill intentions, and quickly recognized her former neighbor among the men.
She hadn't expected that this neighbor was also a member of a local gang.
What do you want to do?
"We don't want to do anything. We just want to ask how you made your fortune?" The man stepped forward, about to put his arm around Fei'er's shoulder, but Fei'er stepped back and avoided him.
The man shrugged indifferently. "I heard you've made quite a bit of money lately."
"Everyone can afford to buy a house now."
It seems suspicious that a destitute teenager could buy a large house in such a short period of time.
They must have discovered some treasure that no one else knows about?
“It was my previous landlord who told you this,” Fei’er sneered. “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that my biological father came looking for me.”
"Your biological father?"
Is this guy's father still alive?
“My father was an aristocrat. Perhaps he suddenly had a change of heart, found us, and gave me a sum of money, which enabled me to afford a house.”
They had heard that Enna possessed an extraordinary temperament, unlike that of ordinary women, and that it was quite possible that she was a mistress kept by a nobleman.
The group of men thought for a moment, and the leader patted her on the shoulder, "I really envy you."
"It's nothing?"
Phil shook her head. She had never even met that so-called noble father.
Seeing that the group had made way, Fei'er quickly bypassed them and headed towards the exchange lane.
“Boss, do you really believe what he said? He's lived in my house for so long, and I've never heard of him having any noble father.”
The landlord said, somewhat resentfully.
"You're still thinking about Eunna? You should give up now. If I were Eunna, I wouldn't even look at you."
The group burst into laughter, making the landlord blush and his eyes filled with hatred.
What's wrong with him?
Although he is older and not good-looking, he will still be able to get married, and he will marry a woman who is even more beautiful than Enna.
The landlord walked towards his house looking dejected.
But in a daze, he bumped into a girl.
He knocked everything out of the girl's hands.
"Watch where you're going, and don't get in my way."
He cursed gruffly.
The girl silently squatted down and picked up her things. When she suddenly looked up, she dazzled the landlord.
What a beautiful woman.
What an exquisite and unparalleled beauty.
He had never seen such a good-looking person before.
"Are you alright? I accidentally bumped into you. How about this, I'll treat you to something to eat, okay?"
"No need." The girl who was bumped into was An.
An looked at the old man in front of her with a wary expression.
That man's eyes are truly disgusting, more disgusting than a siren's tentacles.
"Don't be shy, there's a restaurant nearby—"
“No need.” An took a step back. “Please move aside.”
"Don't be so disrespectful," the landlord said, unwilling to give up the opportunity.
If the girl is willing to go with him, he will take her home and force himself on her. Once the deed is done, the girl will have no choice but to admit it.
He stepped forward and grabbed the girl's wrist.
The girl's wrist felt cool, delicate, and soft to the touch.
A rare and exceptional piece.
"I already said I don't want to, let me go."
An frowned even more deeply.
She grabbed a piece of porcelain from the table and smashed it over his head.
"You—" The landlord was stunned by the blow, but his anger burned even more fiercely.
These women are all so pretentious. Why do they look down on him? Why?
His anger was so intense that it smothered his reason. Without thinking, he decided to drag the person home directly.
Just then, a flash of sword light appeared, and his hand was severed, blood gushing out instantly.
"Ahhhh—"
The landlord clutched his severed hand and screamed. Not only him, but also some timid men and women in the market followed suit.
What do you want to do to my woman?
Suddenly, an arrogant yet indifferent voice rang out.
Everyone looked up and saw their Duke. The Siren walked over and embraced the beautiful girl.
He was dressed in a well-fitting black suit with white gloves on his hands, but when he wiped the sweat from the girl's face, he took off his gloves and wiped it directly with his hands.
There wasn't a trace of disdain.
The nobleman's sudden appearance at the market immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Some of the noble and commoner ladies couldn't help but gasp in surprise, their eyes filled with envy as they stared at the woman being held in the Sirens' arms.
Ann actually still disliked this feeling, but compared to the man's disgusting touch and gaze, she would rather snuggle in the octopus man's arms.
Anne had never been so obedient. This made the Sirens even more satisfied.
"How dare you lay a hand on the future duchess!"
Upon hearing the words "Duchess," all the women present let out a cry of regret, and some even ran away crying.
Sirens are a very popular presence on this island.
He was not only handsome but also wealthy, making him the top choice for husband in every woman's heart.
But now, he has publicly stated that he has a duchess.
How to avoid hurting these women.
The landlord was terrified.
If he had known beforehand that this was the future Duchess, the mistress of their island, he would never have dared to touch her. The landlord begged for mercy repeatedly, and he wouldn't have dared to pick up his severed hand directly.
"Fine, I'll let it go since you didn't know. But if there's a next time, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sea monsters."
The Sirens did not like to show their brutal side to Anne.
As a sea monster, he was not kind; in fact, he was ferocious.
In his view, these humans could all be used to feed his sea monsters.
However, he was still in human form at the moment, and these people were all his subjects. Sea beasts valued their territory, which is why he protected the island and prevented other sea beasts from getting close.
Of course, the most important reason why he was willing to let this man go was that it seemed that An was less resistant to him.
"An, let's go back."
An nodded, completely unaware of the pair of astonished eyes in the crowd.
Phil stared in disbelief at the scene before her.
Is that An?
How could that be?
She clearly threw her into the sea, so why is she here?
