Not daring to say anything else, the four suppliers had no choice but to find seats with fear in their hearts.
As Lacey immediately went forward to calm them down, Zeke shifted his gaze back to Daisy and walked toward her.
Alarmed, she gulped nervously. “W-What do you think you're doing? Stop right there! If you take another step closer, I'll call the police!”
An innocuous smile appeared on Zeke's lips. “Go ahead. I assure you I'll kill you before the police arrive.”
“Such arrogance! Such insolence!”
Daisy began hurling curses at him.
“In terms of arrogance and insolence, I don't hold a candle to you,” Zeke responded.
Seeing that he was about to walk right up to her, Daisy was so frightened that a chill ran down her spine. She turned to the suppliers and shouted, “Hey! Why are you just sitting there? Hurry up and stop him!”
Right! Of course!
To curry favor with her, the suppliers and the fighters they brought quickly rushed at Zeke and attempted to stop him.
But as soon as they attacked, Zeke's body also moved slightly, and he disappeared from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared next to Daisy and struck her hard across her cheek in one lightning-quick motion before the others could react.
Slap!
The sound reverberated through the room, loud and crisp. The memory of it also lingered in the minds of the others for a long time.
Daisy was sent flying again, and she even slammed against the ceiling. When she landed on the floor, blood mixed with several of her sparkling white front teeth spewed forth when she opened her mouth.
Daisy felt as though she was truly on the brink of a meltdown. All her life, she had been thoroughly spoiled like a princess and had never been humiliated like that.
At that moment, she desperately wished she could summon her family's bomber and blow Zeke to smithereens!
Before she had time to vent her anger, she saw him walking toward her again.
Daisy had another emotional breakdown. “Help me! Quick, save me! Stop him!”
The suppliers surged forward again to intercept Zeke.
However, they did not expect him to disappear again with a slight twist of his body. Then, he reappeared beside Daisy a split second later and sent her soaring through the air with a slap.
He struck her with more force than before, and the impact threw her body upward, causing her head to get stuck in the ceiling. Her body swayed in mid-air like a dead earthworm.
The suppliers looked at each other, stupefied.
We thought our eyes were playing tricks on us the first time he suddenly “teleported.” No one expected him to do it again! What the heck is going on? How can a human move that fast? Don't tell me he's one of those superhumans we see in movies.
The four suppliers siding with Zeke were also stunned, realizing for the first time how terrifying he was.
He used to treat everyone and everything with such warmth and kindness. It's a far cry compared to how he is now.
Zeke strode over to Daisy and yanked her down from the ceiling.
She was only a weak and feeble woman. Hence, getting slapped twice by Zeke had taken a heavy toll on her, and she was barely alive.
If I get slapped again, that'll truly be the end of me.
She hurriedly pleaded, “It was my fault. Please don't hit me. I-I'll die...”
“When you hit the others, did you consider their feelings?” Zeke demanded with a menacing smile.
“I-I only slapped them twice. Now that you've hit me, why don't we call it—”
Slap!
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Zeke slapped her again to settle the score as promised.
“Things may be even between you and them, but it's time we settled the score between us. Don't you think you need to get a taste of your own medicine after disrupting my quality time with my family? That slap was for my wife!” Having said that, he teleported himself right next to Daisy and smacked her. “This is for my daughter, Nelly.”
