"Ahh! How dare you hit me, Ranita!" After a moment of eerie silence, Holly screamed like a pig being slaughtered in rage.
Holding onto her throbbing cheek with both hands, she glared at Ranita with bloodshot eyes while looking disheveled and terrifyingly twisted in appearance.
"Do you think it's okay for you to mess with me?" With cold eyes fixed on Holly's face, Ranita continued speaking, "You poured water all over me which damaged my reputation. I slapped your face once so I still lost out here."
"Ranita! You're dead meat!" Grinding her teeth together tightly while pointing at two bodyguards beside her, Holly said commandingly, "Grab this woman for me and throw her into toilet bowl right now!"
The two guards hesitated for a moment before walking towards Rantia without daring to disobey their boss' orders.
"I advise against coming any closer if I were you guys," warned Rantia calmly as she looked directly into their eyes before turning back towards Holly again, "Holly, if this matter gets blown up big time then it won't be good news just for me."
"After all," Rantia added coldly while staring straight into Holly's eyes again, "I don't have your family background or connections in Kurima; if this incident goes public then everyone will laugh at you discussing about how foolish you are."
"And of course," Rantia continued speaking slowly yet confidently while raising an eyebrow slightly higher than usual, "If that doesn't satisfy your ego enough, then we can always go visit our local police station where I'll admit my mistake by paying compensation money or whatever penalty is required by law... but are you willing enough to apologize publicly right there?"
Ranita's words struck Holly. However, she still retorted, "Haha! I'll smash the surveillance cameras later! Who needs to apologize to you? Come on, try it!"
Just then, there was a knocking on the door from outside, and a voice said, "We are from the local police station. Please open the door."
Ranita raised an eyebrow and said, "Sorry, folks, the police have arrived!"
The police arrived, and Holly had to hold back her anger! The place was a mess, but at least no one got hurt. A splash of water and a slap in the face settled things.
