Chapter 1503: A Slap
So, from Goode's point of view, he would certainly win Butterfly Wang's heart as long as he was given enough time. After all, for people who were born into noble families, marriage was all about complementing each other's social status.
Besides, the Butterfly Family attached so much importance to Butterfly Wang's marriage out of consideration for their family's future! If this marriage could be prevented, then Goode would have no rivals in the entire Ello Town!
Although Ello Town was just a town, it was not an ordinary small town. In fact, Ello Town was even bigger than some first-tier cities and even some counties! Therefore, the Douglas Family's strength was actually quite daunting!
The Douglas Family was one of the top noble families in not only Ello Town, but the entirety of Europe. This was because the Douglas Family was the prominent underworld family in Ello Town, and his father, Elt Douglas, was the godfather of this town!
Moreover, Goode's grandfather Thomas Lancer was the current head of the Lancer Family and was one of the largest firearms suppliers in Europe. The Lancer Family was ranked in the top five of the European noble families!
With such a strong background, Goode was confident that he had a great opportunity as long as the Butterfly Family and the mysterious fiance agreed to break the engagement!
Of course, Goode didn't know how scary Butterfly Wang's fiance was, and didn't know that the fiance was the King of Assassins' disciple. These were all part of the assassin world's secrets and were not something that non-assassin families could understand.
What Goode learned was that Wang Songshan's father had decided upon this marriage. Besides, he learned that Butterfly Wang's fiance was from the same family as Wang Ruoshui's fiance back in those years.
The reason why Goode broke into the Butterfly Family so boldly and insisted on voicing out his thoughts even though he knew that he would offend Wang Songshan, was exactly because of Wang Ruoshui! Since Wang Ruoshui was able to break her engagement, then Butterfly Wang should have every right to do the same!
Moreover, Wang Songshan's father, the maker of this marriage contract, has deceased. So the marriage contract should be invalid by now! This was why Goode had risked everything to break in. In his opinion, the reason why Wang Songshan insisted on the marriage was nothing more than to protect the older generation's faces. He believed that Wang Songshan would eventually support him if he insisted.
After all, the marriage should be based on the overall interests of their families! Perhaps the family that had engagements with the Wang Family was once glorious, but Goode did not think that they were still glorious now! Goode could be sure because he had asked his grandfather Thomas to help him spy on the noble families. Although the European noble families and most of their outstanding children of the right age had already signed marriage contracts, none of them had signed it with the Butterfly Family!
In other words, the Butterfly Family was not marrying a top noble family! Goode was confident knowing this information. After all, the Douglas Family could be considered as exceptional among the families that the Butterfly Family could choose for marriage.
The key point was that as an assassin family, they needed a lot of top-quality firearms every year. Many of these were prohibited goods on the market as they were supplied exclusively to the military! The assassin itself was a profession that challenged the law; it was impossible for the Butterfly Family to purchase those top firearms through regular channels!
Of course, the Butterfly Family also had its own channel. Their supplier was the Lancer Family headed by Goode's grandfather. The Butterfly Family had worked with the Lancer Family for a long time, and they bought many special firearms from the Lancer Family every year.
Although it was a win-win business, frankly, the firearms ordered by the Butterfly Family were all in high demand. Even if they didn't sell to the Butterfly Family, the goods would still have excellent sales. Therefore, the Butterfly Family was in the weaker position of this business. Although they had a special position as an assassin family, the Lancer Family was not any weaker than them. The Lancer Family was definitely qualified to be on an equal footing with the Butterfly Family as they had a high social position and were running a firearms business.
It was also for this reason that Wang Songshan took the Douglas Family in Ello Town relatively seriously, and treated them better in any matters. Otherwise, the arrogant Butterfly Family would never look at any of the families in Ello Town.
This was Goode's trump card. He believed that Wong Songshan had no choice but to make careful considerations about the interests involved as long as he was holding this trump card. With this in mind, the pale Goode regained his self-confidence, "Uncle Wang, although Butterfly Wang may not have the same feeling towards me, you can't deny that I know her the best among the other families' sons. Even if it's a marriage contract, I believe it will be an ideal situation if you sign it with us, the Douglas Family. I think Butterfly Wang will be more likely to choose me over that fiance that she has never met before, right?"
"I will respect Butterfly's choice. So Goode, please go back first." Wang Songshan glanced at Goode who kept nagging at him. He said, "No matter who she chooses in the end, I will support her choice."
"You will respect her choice? Then why did she run away from home?" Goode did not believe what Wang Songshan said, as he did not know that Wang Songshan had reached an agreement with Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Songshan frowned. He didn't expect that Goode would be so presumptuous. Although Wang Songshan was a little blunt at first, he was trying to maintain etiquette. Now, this guy was acting arrogantly and had even dared to judge him!
"Are you finished yet? He told you to go back first, did you not hear that?" Although Wang Songshan had not yet replied, Wang Ruoshui could no longer keep quiet. How dare this little fellow makes some arrogant speech after breaking into the Butterfly Castle. Wang Songshan actually put up with him for so long. In Wang Ruoshui's view, this was unacceptable! Has the Butterfly Family gone downhill over the past few years? Is it so bad that even such an unimportant family's son dares to talk to us like this?
During the heyday of the Butterfly Family, even the heads of these families did not dare to act recklessly! But something's wrong now? Wang Ruoshui hadn't heard of any changes in the assassin ranking of the Butterfly Family. Over the years, they had been ranked second and this had not changed at all.
"Women like you should keep your mouth shut when a man is talking!" Goode hadn't met Wang Ruoshui before and he didn't know that Wang Songshan's sister had returned. Therefore, he instinctively grouped Wang Ruoshui with Yang Ming. In other words, he regarded her as a member of Butterfly Wang's fiance's family and the so-called VIP for Wang Songshan!
Goode was being extremely rude because he had discerned that none of the top noble families had the marriage contract with the Butterfly Family. So, he was eighty percent sure that Butterfly Wang's fiance was from some fallen family. Of the people sitting at the dining table, apart from Wang Songshan, there was a middle-aged couple, Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui. It was only natural for Goode to see them as husband and wife, while the young man, Yang Ming, had to be their son!
This family of three is definitely the family that Butterfly Wang will be marrying into. The middle-aged man and the young man had not interrupted, yet the middle-aged woman had spoken before them unexpectedly. So, Goode was quite angry at her.
How could they let a woman speak on such an important matter? Goode despised the rumored fallen family of the fiance even more. So, he did not take them seriously, and he was not afraid to offend them.
That was why Goode was extremely rude when he spoke to them, and did not worry at all about the consequences of offending them. For him, it was totally fine to offend these unimportant families, as they wouldn't dare to talk back.
The more prestigious a person was, the more he believed in his strength. The stronger a family got, the more arrogant they became. They looked down on other small families.
After a crisp slapping sound, Goode covered his swollen face. Surprised, he looked angrily at Wang Ruoshui, who was as fast and spooky as a ghost! This woman had landed a strong slap on his face in an instant, and then returned to her seat in a flash!
This series of movements were completed within a blink of an eye, and without a single wasteful move. Goode was unaware of anything until he felt the burning pain on his cheek!
Chapter 1504: Misunderstanding Leads to Suffering
Holding his face in great shock, Goode looked at the woman in front of him. She had dared to slap him, and she was extremely fast! He thought, Sure enough, a family that is qualified to marry the Butterfly Family will not be a pushover What a fierce woman!
However, Goode wasn't afraid of Wang Ruoshui at all. He thought that no matter how powerful her personal strength was, she alone couldn't save her fallen family. In the face of a superfamily like his, such personal strength could be ignored.
"Who are you? How dare you slap me?" Although Goode minded his manner in front of Wang Songshan, he was impatient while facing Wang Ruoshui. He put on a scary look like he was about to kill someone. Growing up as the only son of the underworld godfather in his city, it was rare for him to get beaten by anyone other than his father, let alone getting slapped in public by someone!
The young masters or even their parents who headed the noble families in Ello Town were respectful to him, and they would treat him like a prominent figure. Even the prominent Wang Songshan, the Butterfly Family's head, treated him the same. Wang Songshan hadn't been pissed off by his arrogant speech just now.
So, the young master Goode, who was respected even by the Butterfly Family's head, was slapped by a fallen family's woman. How could Goode not be mad at such a situation?
"What's wrong about me slapping you?" Wang Ruoshui was keeping her cool, not influenced by Goode's anger at all.
"Ha!" Goode took her words as a ridiculous joke, Is this woman out of her mind? Doesn't she know who I am? "Do you know who I am? The fate of your family will be destroyed because of your stupid act today!"
"Aren't you the whatever Goode? You've said it before. I know your name." Wang Ruoshui sneered, "Do you think you have the power to put us Butterfly Family in any danger?"
"Your Butterfly Family?" Goode hesitated after hearing it, but he put on an amused expression the next second. Obviously, he was experiencing a misunderstanding. He misunderstood the woman's words, "Your family? Your family hasn't even married into the Butterfly Family yet, and yet you call yourself the Butterfly Family? It was indeed quick for you to take advantage of them! Are you planning to let your son change his last name to Wang to follow the Butterfly Family? However, I will make this clear for you now. Don't ever fantasize about the marriage between your family and the Butterfly Family for as long as I am here today!"
It was obvious that Goode had regarded Wang Ruoshui as a member of Yang Ming and Fang Tian's side. He mistook her as Yang Ming's mother, someone who came for the marriage discussion with the Wang Family. Goode believed that it was because they were going to marry the Butterfly Family that they had referred to themselves as the Butterfly Family.
"What do you mean by taking advantage? Who are you calling as my son?" Wang Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, but she blushed the next instant with endless anger! She was still an unmarried virgin, how was it possible for her to have a son? This was an insult to her!
Wang Songshan was also confused by Goode's sudden remarks. Did Goode get hit in the head by a door? Otherwise, why is he saying all these illogical remarks?
Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui were confused by him, but Yang Ming and Fang Tian on the side quickly understood Goode's remarks! Apparently, this dumb young master has mistaken Wang Ruoshui as Fang Tian's wife, and thinks I'm her son!
Yang Ming glanced at Goode mercifully and felt really sad for this stupid man. It was okay for him to insult anyone else, but he insulted Wang Ruoshui, a woman who was feared even by me. No wonder Goode got hit, he asked for it.
Seeing Wang Ruoshui's face at this moment, it seemed that she would freak out soon. Sure enough, Wang Ruoshui was at it again. She was even fiercer this time since she directly delivered a punch into Goode's face. Although Goode wanted to guard subconsciously by turning his body to the side, he still did not escape the tragic fate of getting hit in the face.
How fast and skillful was Wang Ruoshui? Would Goode be able to block her punch? In fact, if it wasn't for Wang Ruoshui taking into consideration the Butterfly Family's social status and Goode's background, Goode would have been killed a long time ago.
"Ouch—" Goode let out an ear-shattering scream in pain. His mouth was twitching and he spat out two of his front teeth. Although Wang Ruoshui's punch was not enough to kill him, it still hurt him quite badly.
Goode's face was covered in blood and he was extremely furious. He struggled to get up from the ground, pointing at Wang Ruoshui, "I don't care who you are, you'll have to pay a great price for everything you did today! The Douglas Family will not go easy on you all, you're doomed!"
"Douglas Family? The underworld family in this town?" After listening to Goode, Wang Ruoshui thought for a short while and she recalled the business of this family. After all, the Douglas Family was already in control of the town's underworld when she left as a young woman.
"So you know about it?" Goode snorted. "Since you know about it, you just wait for the Douglas Family's crazy revenge! Uncle Wang, you should be able to make your decision now? They chose to oppose our Douglas Family. Would you still marry them? Just think about it, my grandfather is the current head of the Lancer Family! "
At this point, Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui had finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Goode had mistaken Wang Ruoshui as Yang Ming's relative, and this had led to his illogical remarks!
It wasn't difficult to explain his misunderstanding, as Goode had not been born yet when Wang Ruoshui left home. It would be strange if he knew Wang Ruoshui.
Wang Songshan smiled bitterly and helplessly. Wang Ruoshui's actions had seriously offended Goode, but Wang Songshan wouldn't give in! Wang Songshan was usually willing to treat the Douglas Family differently because of the Lancer Family.
However, Wang Songshan did not think that the Lancer Family would stop supplying firearms to them just because they had offended the Douglas Family. After all, the two families had been partners for many years, and the Lancer Family would not wish to offend the Butterfly Family for such a minor matter!
The Lancer Family was not weak; they had their own secret defense force that could be regarded as a mysterious trump card. But even then, they wouldn't want to become an open enemy of the mysterious assassin Butterfly Family. It could only cause harm to themselves!
"Goode, I think you misunderstood." Wang Songshan said calmly, "This is my younger sister, Wang Ruoshui, and she is Little Butterfly's aunt. You were being rude to her, so it's understandable for her to beat you up! Since you are willing to become an enemy of us, the Butterfly Family, I won't mind it. I, Wang Songshan, will be right here waiting for you!"
"What? She is… Little Butterfly's aunt?" Goode widened his eyes. He never thought that this woman turned out to be Wang Ruoshui, the daughter of the Wang Family who left home twenty five years ago! It was too dramatic! And I mistook her as a relative of Little Butterfly's fiance!
At this point, Goode knew that he could never seek revenge for the slap and punch he had just taken. As long as I'm still interested in Little Butterfly, I can't afford to offend this woman in front of me! She is Little Butterfly's aunt!
Goode thought, I'm so unlucky, looks like I have no choice but to suffer until the bitter end. Goode took a deep breath, "Aunt Wang, I didn't know who you were before this. I'm terribly sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."
Wang Ruoshui snorted coldly, her impression of this Goode was very bad. He's totally different from Yang Ming, who's neither haughty nor humble! Although Yang Ming is also trying very hard to fight for his rights, he relies on his own strength. On the contrary, this young master Goode knows nothing but the Douglas Family.
Stripping away his relationship with the Douglas Family, this Goode is nothing more than poop. Wang Ruoshui would never agree to marry her niece to such a man.
"Aunt Wang, my feelings towards Little Butterfly are deep and had made me talk nonsense. I hope that aunt can consider my sincerity towards her and agree to our marriage!" Seeing how Wang Songshan had turned a blind eye to Wang Ruoshui beating him up in the dining hall, Goode had derived that Wang Ruoshui must have a high status in the Wang Family. If she were to agree to their relationship, he would get much closer to success! Therefore, Goode changed the way he addressed Wang Ruoshui from 'Aunt Wang' to just 'aunt'.

After all, for people who were born into noble families, marriage was all about complementing each other's social status.Besides, the Butterfly Family attached so much importance to Butterfly Wang's marriage out of consideration for their family's future! If this marriage could be prevented, then Goode would have no rivals in the entire Ello Town!Although Ello Town was just a town, it was not an ordinary small town. In fact, Ello Town was even bigger than some first-tier cities and even some counties! Therefore, the Douglas Family's strength was actually quite daunting!The Douglas Family was one of the top noble families in not only Ello Town, but the entirety of Europe. This was because the Douglas Family was the prominent underworld family in Ello Town, and his father, Elt Douglas, was the godfather of this town!Moreover, Goode's grandfather Thomas Lancer was the current head of the Lancer Family and was one of the largest firearms suppliers in Europe. The Lancer Family was ranked in the top five of the European noble families!With such a strong background, Goode was confident that he had a great opportunity as long as the Butterfly Family and the mysterious fiance agreed to break the engagement!Of course, Goode didn't know how scary Butterfly Wang's fiance was, and didn't know that the fiance was the King of Assassins' disciple. These were all part of the assassin world's secrets and were not something that non-assassin families could understand.What Goode learned was that Wang Songshan's father had decided upon this marriage. Besides, he learned that Butterfly Wang's fiance was from the same family as Wang Ruoshui's fiance back in those years.The reason why Goode broke into the Butterfly Family so boldly and insisted on voicing out his thoughts even though he knew that he would offend Wang Songshan, was exactly because of Wang Ruoshui! Since Wang Ruoshui was able to break her engagement, then Butterfly Wang should have every right to do the same!Moreover, Wang Songshan's father, the maker of this marriage contract, has deceased. So the marriage contract should be invalid by now! This was why Goode had risked everything to break in. In his opinion, the reason why Wang Songshan insisted on the marriage was nothing more than to protect the older generation's faces. He believed that Wang Songshan would eventually support him if he insisted.After all, the marriage should be based on the overall interests of their families! Perhaps the family that had engagements with the Wang Family was once glorious, but Goode did not think that they were still glorious now! Goode could be sure because he had asked his grandfather Thomas to help him spy on the noble families. Although the European noble families and most of their outstanding children of the right age had already signed marriage contracts, none of them had signed it with the Butterfly Family!In other words, the Butterfly Family was not marrying a top noble family! Goode was confident knowing this information. After all, the Douglas Family could be considered as exceptional among the families that the Butterfly Family could choose for marriage.The key point was that as an assassin family, they needed a lot of top-quality firearms every year. Many of these were prohibited goods on the market as they were supplied exclusively to the military! The assassin itself was a profession that challenged the law; it was impossible for the Butterfly Family to purchase those top firearms through regular channels!Of course, the Butterfly Family also had its own channel. Their supplier was the Lancer Family headed by Goode's grandfather. The Butterfly Family had worked with the Lancer Family for a long time, and they bought many special firearms from the Lancer Family every year.Although it was a win-win business, frankly, the firearms ordered by the Butterfly Family were all in high demand. Even if they didn't sell to the Butterfly Family, the goods would still have excellent sales. Therefore, the Butterfly Family was in the weaker position of this business. Although they had a special position as an assassin family, the Lancer Family was not any weaker than them. The Lancer Family was definitely qualified to be on an equal footing with the Butterfly Family as they had a high social position and were running a firearms business.It was also for this reason that Wang Songshan took the Douglas Family in Ello Town relatively seriously, and treated them better in any matters. Otherwise, the arrogant Butterfly Family would never look at any of the families in Ello Town.This was Goode's trump card. He believed that Wong Songshan had no choice but to make careful considerations about the interests involved as long as he was holding this trump card. With this in mind, the pale Goode regained his self-confidence, "Uncle Wang, although Butterfly Wang may not have the same feeling towards me, you can't deny that I know her the best among the other families' sons. Even if it's a marriage contract, I believe it will be an ideal situation if you sign it with us, the Douglas Family. I think Butterfly Wang will be more likely to choose me over that fiance that she has never met before, right?""I will respect Butterfly's choice. So Goode, please go back first." Wang Songshan glanced at Goode who kept nagging at him. He said, "No matter who she chooses in the end, I will support her choice.""You will respect her choice? Then why did she run away from home?" Goode did not believe what Wang Songshan said, as he did not know that Wang Songshan had reached an agreement with Wang Xiaoyan.Wang Songshan frowned. He didn't expect that Goode would be so presumptuous. Although Wang Songshan was a little blunt at first, he was trying to maintain etiquette. Now, this guy was acting arrogantly and had even dared to judge him!"Are you finished yet? He told you to go back first, did you not hear that?" Although Wang Songshan had not yet replied, Wang Ruoshui could no longer keep quiet. How dare this little fellow makes some arrogant speech after breaking into the Butterfly Castle. Wang Songshan actually put up with him for so long. In Wang Ruoshui's view, this was unacceptable! Has the Butterfly Family gone downhill over the past few years? Is it so bad that even such an unimportant family's son dares to talk to us like this?During the heyday of the Butterfly Family, even the heads of these families did not dare to act recklessly! But something's wrong now? Wang Ruoshui hadn't heard of any changes in the assassin ranking of the Butterfly Family. Over the years, they had been ranked second and this had not changed at all."Women like you should keep your mouth shut when a man is talking!" Goode hadn't met Wang Ruoshui before and he didn't know that Wang Songshan's sister had returned. Therefore, he instinctively grouped Wang Ruoshui with Yang Ming. In other words, he regarded her as a member of Butterfly Wang's fiance's family and the so-called VIP for Wang Songshan!Goode was being extremely rude because he had discerned that none of the top noble families had the marriage contract with the Butterfly Family. So, he was eighty percent sure that Butterfly Wang's fiance was from some fallen family. Of the people sitting at the dining table, apart from Wang Songshan, there was a middle-aged couple, Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui. It was only natural for Goode to see them as husband and wife, while the young man, Yang Ming, had to be their son!This family of three is definitely the family that Butterfly Wang will be marrying into. The middle-aged man and the young man had not interrupted, yet the middle-aged woman had spoken before them unexpectedly. So, Goode was quite angry at her.How could they let a woman speak on such an important matter? Goode despised the rumored fallen family of the fiance even more. So, he did not take them seriously, and he was not afraid to offend them.That was why Goode was extremely rude when he spoke to them, and did not worry at all about the consequences of offending them. For him, it was totally fine to offend these unimportant families, as they wouldn't dare to talk back.The more prestigious a person was, the more he believed in his strength. The stronger a family got, the more arrogant they became. They looked down on other small families.After a crisp slapping sound, Goode covered his swollen face. Surprised, he looked angrily at Wang Ruoshui, who was as fast and spooky as a ghost! This woman had landed a strong slap on his face in an instant, and then returned to her seat in a flash!This series of movements were completed within a blink of an eye, and without a single wasteful move. Goode was unaware of anything until he felt the burning pain on his cheek!Chapter 1504: Misunderstanding Leads to SufferingHolding his face in great shock, Goode looked at the woman in front of him. She had dared to slap him, and she was extremely fast! He thought, Sure enough, a family that is qualified to marry the Butterfly Family will not be a pushover What a fierce woman!However, Goode wasn't afraid of Wang Ruoshui at all. He thought that no matter how powerful her personal strength was, she alone couldn't save her fallen family. In the face of a superfamily like his, such personal strength could be ignored."Who are you? How dare you slap me?" Although Goode minded his manner in front of Wang Songshan, he was impatient while facing Wang Ruoshui. He put on a scary look like he was about to kill someone. Growing up as the only son of the underworld godfather in his city, it was rare for him to get beaten by anyone other than his father, let alone getting slapped in public by someone!The young masters or even their parents who headed the noble families in Ello Town were respectful to him, and they would treat him like a prominent figure. Even the prominent Wang Songshan, the Butterfly Family's head, treated him the same. Wang Songshan hadn't been pissed off by his arrogant speech just now.So, the young master Goode, who was respected even by the Butterfly Family's head, was slapped by a fallen family's woman. How could Goode not be mad at such a situation?"What's wrong about me slapping you?" Wang Ruoshui was keeping her cool, not influenced by Goode's anger at all."Ha!" Goode took her words as a ridiculous joke, Is this woman out of her mind? Doesn't she know who I am? "Do you know who I am? The fate of your family will be destroyed because of your stupid act today!""Aren't you the whatever Goode? You've said it before. I know your name." Wang Ruoshui sneered, "Do you think you have the power to put us Butterfly Family in any danger?""Your Butterfly Family?" Goode hesitated after hearing it, but he put on an amused expression the next second. Obviously, he was experiencing a misunderstanding. He misunderstood the woman's words, "Your family? Your family hasn't even married into the Butterfly Family yet, and yet you call yourself the Butterfly Family? It was indeed quick for you to take advantage of them! Are you planning to let your son change his last name to Wang to follow the Butterfly Family? However, I will make this clear for you now. Don't ever fantasize about the marriage between your family and the Butterfly Family for as long as I am here today!"It was obvious that Goode had regarded Wang Ruoshui as a member of Yang Ming and Fang Tian's side. He mistook her as Yang Ming's mother, someone who came for the marriage discussion with the Wang Family. Goode believed that it was because they were going to marry the Butterfly Family that they had referred to themselves as the Butterfly Family."What do you mean by taking advantage? Who are you calling as my son?" Wang Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, but she blushed the next instant with endless anger! She was still an unmarried virgin, how was it possible for her to have a son? This was an insult to her!Wang Songshan was also confused by Goode's sudden remarks. Did Goode get hit in the head by a door? Otherwise, why is he saying all these illogical remarks?Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui were confused by him, but Yang Ming and Fang Tian on the side quickly understood Goode's remarks! Apparently, this dumb young master has mistaken Wang Ruoshui as Fang Tian's wife, and thinks I'm her son!Yang Ming glanced at Goode mercifully and felt really sad for this stupid man. It was okay for him to insult anyone else, but he insulted Wang Ruoshui, a woman who was feared even by me. No wonder Goode got hit, he asked for it.Seeing Wang Ruoshui's face at this moment, it seemed that she would freak out soon. Sure enough, Wang Ruoshui was at it again. She was even fiercer this time since she directly delivered a punch into Goode's face. Although Goode wanted to guard subconsciously by turning his body to the side, he still did not escape the tragic fate of getting hit in the face.How fast and skillful was Wang Ruoshui? Would Goode be able to block her punch? In fact, if it wasn't for Wang Ruoshui taking into consideration the Butterfly Family's social status and Goode's background, Goode would have been killed a long time ago."Ouch" Goode let out an ear-shattering scream in pain. His mouth was twitching and he spat out two of his front teeth. Although Wang Ruoshui's punch was not enough to kill him, it still hurt him quite badly.Goode's face was covered in blood and he was extremely furious. He struggled to get up from the ground, pointing at Wang Ruoshui, "I don't care who you are, you'll have to pay a great price for everything you did today! The Douglas Family will not go easy on you all, you're doomed!""Douglas Family? The underworld family in this town?" After listening to Goode, Wang Ruoshui thought for a short while and she recalled the business of this family. After all, the Douglas Family was already in control of the town's underworld when she left as a young woman."So you know about it?" Goode snorted. "Since you know about it, you just wait for the Douglas Family's crazy revenge! Uncle Wang, you should be able to make your decision now? They chose to oppose our Douglas Family. Would you still marry them? Just think about it, my grandfather is the current head of the Lancer Family! "At this point, Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui had finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Goode had mistaken Wang Ruoshui as Yang Ming's relative, and this had led to his illogical remarks!It wasn't difficult to explain his misunderstanding, as Goode had not been born yet when Wang Ruoshui left home. It would be strange if he knew Wang Ruoshui.Wang Songshan smiled bitterly and helplessly. Wang Ruoshui's actions had seriously offended Goode, but Wang Songshan wouldn't give in! Wang Songshan was usually willing to treat the Douglas Family differently because of the Lancer Family.However, Wang Songshan did not think that the Lancer Family would stop supplying firearms to them just because they had offended the Douglas Family. After all, the two families had been partners for many years, and the Lancer Family would not wish to offend the Butterfly Family for such a minor matter!The Lancer Family was not weak; they had their own secret defense force that could be regarded as a mysterious trump card. But even then, they wouldn't want to become an open enemy of the mysterious assassin Butterfly Family. It could only cause harm to themselves!"Goode, I think you misunderstood." Wang Songshan said calmly, "This is my younger sister, Wang Ruoshui, and she is Little Butterfly's aunt. You were being rude to her, so it's understandable for her to beat you up! Since you are willing to become an enemy of us, the Butterfly Family, I won't mind it. I, Wang Songshan, will be right here waiting for you!""What? She is Little Butterfly's aunt?" Goode widened his eyes. He never thought that this woman turned out to be Wang Ruoshui, the daughter of the Wang Family who left home twenty five years ago! It was too dramatic! And I mistook her as a relative of Little Butterfly's fiance!At this point, Goode knew that he could never seek revenge for the slap and punch he had just taken. As long as I'm still interested in Little Butterfly, I can't afford to offend this woman in front of me! She is Little Butterfly's aunt!Goode thought, I'm so unlucky, looks like I have no choice but to suffer until the bitter end. Goode took a deep breath, "Aunt Wang, I didn't know who you were before this. I'm terribly sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."Wang Ruoshui snorted coldly, her impression of this Goode was very bad. He's totally different from Yang Ming, who's neither haughty nor humble! Although Yang Ming is also trying very hard to fight for his rights, he relies on his own strength. On the contrary, this young master Goode knows nothing but the Douglas Family.Stripping away his relationship with the Douglas Family, this Goode is nothing more than poop. Wang Ruoshui would never agree to marry her niece to such a man."Aunt Wang, my feelings towards Little Butterfly are deep and had made me talk nonsense. I hope that aunt can consider my sincerity towards her and agree to our marriage!" Seeing how Wang Songshan had turned a blind eye to Wang Ruoshui beating him up in the dining hall, Goode had derived that Wang Ruoshui must have a high status in the Wang Family. If she were to agree to their relationship, he would get much closer to success! Therefore, Goode changed the way he addressed Wang Ruoshui from 'Aunt Wang' to just 'aunt'.
