Haider was stunned, his face sober.
Ruby ignored him, her lean and tall figure standing in front of the door of the mourning hall, the corners of her mouth raised in a careless curve, the ends of her pretty eyes slightly raised, but the colour of her eyes was cool.
"My grandmother has only told me that there is a Hussain family in the capital that pesters her like a fly, shamelessly, disturbing her life. My grandma had a good temper, and did not want to make any troubles, but I am different, I don’t like to be pestered. If you don't leave today and insist on looking for trouble here, then don't blame me for not being polite."
She said it in an unhurried and even tone, but for some reason, the few members of the Hussain family felt an invisible sense of oppression when they heard it.
Haider gritted his teeth, and his eyes were covered with gloom.
"Fine, since you don’t listen to us, then don't blame me for not showing you any mercy! If you want us to leave, fine, as long as you hand over the secret arts left behind by your grandmother, we will leave immediately and will never pester you!"
When she heard the word "secret art", a stern look flashed across Ruby's eyes, and the temperature around her body suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
These people, finally, showed their true colours!
At that moment, she did not say anything, and her expression changed slightly, but not in anger, but as if she could not understand his words, and frowned in confusion.
"Secret arts? What secret arts? Are you suffering from a hypochondriac? When people get older, their brains inevitably become confused, so you'd better hurry to the hospital before you get Alzheimer's, which won't be very salvageable."
Haider's face instantly darkened, his face pulled long.
On the other side, Dexter could not listen any longer, pointing at Ruby's nose and scolding him.
"Don't play dumb here! That old woman has in her hands the ancient medical secrets of the Henderson family! Now that she's dead, how could she not pass it on to you! Are you trying to fool us? No way! I'm warning you, hand it over while we're still talking to you properly, or else I don't mind making you suffer!"
The moment these words came out, Ruby had no time to react, but Levi was one step ahead of her and stepped in front of her, slapping Dexter's hand away with one palm, his deep eyes were filled with an infinite coldness.
He sneered and tipped his tongue to his palate, "Suffer? Heh, it's not certain who will suffer!"
His strength was not small, and Dexter was not prepared for it, so he stumbled and nearly fell.
Betty, who had been watching coldly, immediately held him up and could not help but seize up at this point.
"What are you doing? We've come here to claim back what belongs to our Hussain family! You don't hand it over because you want to keep it for yourselves?"
Hearing these words, Ruby instantly laughed out loud.
"You have just said that the secret art has been passed down from generation to generation in the Henderson family, so how did it become the property of your Hussain family? Who wants to keep it for themselves? What, you brought so many people here just to take it by force? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Haider acted as if he took it for granted.
"So what if the Henderson family has been passed down from generation to generation? Since Cara defected to our Hussain family in the first place and changed her surname to Hussain, then what she brought over rightfully belonged to our Hussain family!"
