An Ascendant Dominance

Chapter 3

Arion felt an overwhelming rage when he saw those thugs intimidating Olafia. The surge of anger inside him made him want to beat them up. “Now, with the Demon-Sealing Sword, I must deal with this street gang properly,” he thought.

Arion’s eyes had already turned sharp, as if sparks were shooting out from them due to his rising emotions. He respected Olafia as a good and honorable woman. It was just that she had the misfortune of marrying a vile man who only deceived her—useless and cowardly.

“Arion, this isn’t your business, go inside quickly!” Seeing how furious Arion was, Olafia was startled and immediately grabbed his hand, but Arion didn’t budge. She was worried about his future if he were to be destroyed by those terrifying thugs. After all, Arion shouldn’t be defending her—his safety should come first.

Yet Arion simply gave Olafia a calm smile. “Sister, don’t worry. Just watch today—I will stand up for you.” He even spoke to Olafia with full confidence.

Affected by Arion’s confident smile, Olafia couldn’t help but trust him. In her eyes, there also appeared a firm resolve—that Arion would surely be able to handle those vile thugs. Olafia then stepped aside to let Arion take action; somehow, she simply chose to believe in him.

“Arion, you brat, how dare you interfere in our business?!” the fat man glared angrily at Arion, then turned to his men behind him. “This kid is too bold, beat him up, beat him to death!”

Arion clenched his fists tightly. His movements were so fast that the fat man couldn’t even see what happened. All of his underlings who had rushed forward were knocked down, one by one, lying helplessly on the ground.

Arion nodded with a satisfied smile. “This Demon Sealing Spell is truly incredible!” he said enthusiastically in his heart.

The fat man was stunned. “Is this really the Arion I know? There’s no way that snot-nosed kid could do something like this,” he wondered to himself.

Finally, Arion wasn’t about to let the fat man go. He raised his leg and kicked hard toward him, sending the fat man crashing to the ground. Arion walked up, stepped on his chest, and shouted angrily, “If you want to cause trouble here, then be ready to face the consequences! Yesterday, you hit me, but today, I will repay you tenfold!” Arion said coldly, glaring sharply at the fat man.

The fat man’s face immediately turned pale. Yesterday, he hadn’t realized Arion’s strength at all. But now, with Arion’s foot pinning him down, he couldn’t even speak.

Bugh, bugh, bugh!

Arion mercilessly delivered ten hard slaps to the fat man’s face without an ounce of compassion.

After venting his anger, Arion finally lifted his foot and saw the fat man’s face, swollen and disfigured, barely able to speak. When the fat man struggled to stand, he spat out two molars along with blood.

At first, Arion intended to step back to avoid being splattered with blood. But the fat man misunderstood. Seeing Arion’s movement and thinking he was about to hit him again, he immediately dropped to his knees before Arion.

“We know we were wrong, please forgive us, we won’t dare again!”

The villain who had always bullied him was now kneeling before him. This feeling was truly exhilarating for Arion. All of this was thanks to the Demon Sealing Sword!

“Will you dare cause trouble here again or not?!” Arion asked coldly.

“We won’t dare again, not even in our next life!” said the fat man, swearing, even if only to deceive.

“What are you waiting for, get lost now!” Arion said, raising his leg again.

The fat man was so scared he almost wet himself. He immediately gathered his terrified men and ran off as fast as lightning.

After making sure the street gang had left, Arion finally turned and asked Olafia, “Sis, are you okay?”

Olafia hesitated. She couldn’t believe that the powerful man before her was the same Arion she had always known.

When Arion turned back, Olafia quickly grabbed his hand and rushed him into her room. Inside, she busied herself at her desk drawer, pulling out some money and handing it to Arion. “Listen, Arion, take this money and go somewhere else to avoid disaster from those bad men.”

Olafia knew well that the thugs just now were Garry Kalandra’s men. Garry was notorious as a top gangster in the area. For anyone bold enough to beat up his men, Garry would surely never let it go.

Arion understood that Olafia was worried about him. In such difficult times, her care warmed his heart.

But he chose to put the money back into her hand. “Sis, what will you do if I leave?”

“I… I’ll also go hide at a friend’s house. Besides, I can report this to the police,” Olafia replied. In truth, she just didn’t want to burden Arion and drag the good man into her trouble.

“Sis, where else can you hide? Besides, hiding isn’t the solution. I won’t leave. You took me in when I was at my lowest point, so I won’t abandon you. Don’t worry.”

Arion remembered the time when he couldn’t pay his rent and had been evicted by his former landlord, leaving him confused and homeless. It was Olafia who had taken him in. He was always grateful for her kindness.

“But Arion…”

“That’s enough, sis, don’t worry anymore. Listen, I’ll go out for a while to take care of something, then I’ll come back soon, and after that, I’ll take you to face them and settle this once and for all,” Arion said. He turned around and left the house.

Arion knew that even though Garry wouldn’t easily give up after his men had been beaten, he himself wouldn’t act rashly. But he also realized he now had an enemy. Arion needed to find Sifa first. He had to meet her and clear things up about their relationship. Because he also couldn’t let Martin Winoto keep belittling him.
