"How dare you say that my fiance is mediocre? What right do you have?" Linda asked coldly.
"What are you talking about, Linda?"
Many of the young talents felt their heart break with the way Linda, their dream lover, insisted on defending this weak man.
"Is this man intimidating you? Don't be afraid, Linda. Just tell me and I will help you!"
"Yeah, Linda. This man doesn't deserve you! Look at me. I'm handsomer and more powerful than he is. Come with me instead!"
Linda laughed in contempt for them and said, "I know that all of you are only after my looks, so I don't think any of you deserve me. And anyway, my fiance must be unparalleled in power. Who among you can match that qualification?"
"Don't be too arrogant, Linda. Why would you think that no one deserves you? Everyone here is superbly talented in their own right. How ridiculous! Do you really think you are that special?" Dissatisfaction began to run among the crowd because of Linda's words.
Most of the people present are well-known geniuses since they were young. Many of them even had countless suitors, so none of them would stand being ridiculed.
Linda laughed and smiled at them with indifference. "If all of you are as talented as you claim to be, then why are you after me then? If you still have shame, go for someone else. I've had enough of you disgusting bugs!"
"Well, even if you don't like anyone here, you still don't have to go after such a loser, right? You're only humiliating yourself," a woman said.
This enraged Linda. "You bitch! How dare you call him loser?" She was so angry that she wanted to slap the stupid woman.
Before she could do anything, Darren stopped her and took a step forward. He had been silent this whole time.
"You called me a loser, so then what should I do so that I won't be one? Please teach me," he said, almost sarcastically.
"It would be useless to teach you. People have insulted you and your woman, and yet you have done nothing. Doesn't that make you a loser?" This woman had heavy make-up on her face. It brought out the disdain in her eyes as she looked at Darren.
"I admit that what you said make sense. I can't always be this tolerant, so I will have to teach others a lesson eventually." Darren's mouth twitched.
"What!"
Anger rose from the group of young men when they heard him.
"Hey loser! You mean to teach us a lesson?"
"You bastard! I'm not in the mood today, so don't blame me if I kill you."
"You've just heard him challenge us, Linda. If I break his legs, don't blame me either. Maybe I can cut off his manhood, and I'll be the one to satisfy you in bed for the rest of your life instead."
Tension among the men was palpable. At the moment, everyone seemed to be intent on killing Darren.
"Stop! All of you!"
Rudy suddenly shouted, silencing everyone.
"This guy is unbelievable, Rudy. Why don't you let us teach him a lesson?" one of them asked.
"Don't you care about your reputation? How do you think this will affect your image if people find out that this nobody has provoked you?" Then, Rudy glanced at Darren and said, "You should leave. As you can see, this kind of occasion is not suitable for you. If you feel offended, I apologize on behalf of them."
His tone was rigid and blunt. It was obvious that he didn't really apologize to Darren, but he managed to be polite.
"Since the host has asked me to leave, I won't be too shameless as to stay here any longer. But before I leave, I would like an apology from those who insulted me just now. Does anyone have any objections with this?" Darren looked at all of them calmly.
"Damn it! You are asking too much!"
