The Immortal Emperor Returns for His Daughter

4

"How dare you?" Aruna was very angry and looked at them both with red eyes.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" One debt collector answered with a contemptuous and sneering look.

His friend even began to look toward Arya with a very dismissive gaze, and chuckled.

"I don't know how you could choose a poor and pathetic man like him as your guest? Compared to Young Master Danan, isn't this man completely useless?"

"If you had accepted Young Master Danan's offer to make you his woman, not only would your family's debt be paid off, but you could even live luxuriously than before."

"No need to live in this cattle pen anymore to raise an illegitimate child, and waste your life on that useless little girl all the time! I already said, just sell the child—"

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. Not stopping by choice, but because someone had lifted him and stopped him from speaking.

Arya, who was previously several meters away from him, was now in front of him. Holding his neck with one hand, and lifting him into the air.

Looking at the man who had just called his younger sister a slut, and insulted his daughter as an illegitimate child, Arya's face became very cold. Both his indifferent eyes stared at the man in his hand with a cold gaze as if looking at a corpse.

"Say that again!"

"Ughh...."

The 80 kg man being lifted in the air like a garbage bag appeared to struggle, trying to release Arya's wrist. However, he felt that what was gripping his neck was not a human hand, but a steel clamp.

No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to release the grip on his neck.

"Bastard! What are you doing!" The debt collector's friend shouted angrily at Arya.

But Arya didn't look at him at all, he just slightly increased the grip on his wrist, and once again said to the person in front of him, "Insulting my sister and cursing my daughter, who gave you the courage to do that?"

"Ughhh... I-I... arghh..." The man in the air wanted to say something, but Arya's grip became stronger, cutting off the oxygen supply to his brain. Making him choke with bulging eyes, and struggle with a face turning blue.

"Bastard! Let him go!" This time the other debt collector didn't just shout, but also pulled out a knife from under his shirt.

With an angry face and cruel expression, he lunged toward Arya.

"Ahh!!" Causing Aruna to scream in fear when she saw it.

But Arya's facial expression didn't change at all, remaining relaxed and cold, not even looking at the man attacking him with a knife. He just glanced at him with disgust, and stayed in place.

When the sharp knife with a cold glint was only a few centimeters from his cheek, finally Arya moved. His free left hand seemed to flash, and the knife's movement instantly stopped.

"You?" Shocked, the debt collector's face changed, he wanted to pull back his hand so he could attack again.

However, his wrist was held tightly by Arya's hand. No matter how much he tried to pull or move it, all his efforts were in vain.

"Let go— arghh!!!"

A pitiful scream accompanied by a "click" sound of breaking bone suddenly rang out.

"Click!"

"Argh!!"

The knife in the debt collector's hand fell, and tremendous pain came from his shattered wrist. Even when Arya released it, his palm could no longer be moved or felt, except for its appearance which was crushed and dangling. Looking horrible and terrifying.

"It seems you both want to die!"

But that wasn't finished, because with Arya's cold voice coming, a hard strike suddenly came, hitting his stomach hard as if hit by a truck, the man weighing no less than 80 kg flew out of the house through the door.

Then crashed into the wall with a loud "bam" sound, and no longer moved. Whether alive or dead.

"This..." Aruna's face and the debt collector being choked by Arya turned pale when they saw it.

Fear and horror appeared on the debt collector still hanging in the air.

Turning toward Arya, and staring at his indifferent, cold and completely emotionless gaze, the word "death" instantly appeared in his brain.

"Now—"

"Daddy?" A childish voice sounding sleepy stopped Arya's next words!

And when he saw the little girl who still looked lethargic and sleepy rubbing her closed eyes in front of the bedroom door, his heart instantly became peaceful. The anger and murderous intent in his body instantly vanished.

His expression softened again, but he didn't say anything, and only turned toward Aruna who was now staring at him with an empty gaze.

"Take Ara back to the room!" Arya's command immediately awakened Aruna. Making the woman immediately run toward Kiara, and carry her, bringing her back into the room.

As for Arya himself, he looked back at the person still trembling with fear in his hand, and threw him out the door, like throwing a piece of trash.

Then approaching them both, and closing the door, Arya looked at them both with a gaze full of real threat.

"You're lucky! But remember, if I see or hear that you dare come disturb my family again, it won't just be broken bones and shortness of breath. Do you understand!"

The debt collector who was previously thrown by Arya and was sitting on the floor bowing his head hurriedly nodded. Understanding very well.

After the incident just now, he was truly terrified of Arya. If the little girl he had previously insulted hadn't come, perhaps his body would have become cold and lifeless now.

He didn't doubt that Arya would kill him, because from his gaze just now, he could see a look of extreme indifference toward life and death. As if human life was nothing more than mere ants.

"If you understand, immediately leave here!"

Not waiting for the command a second time, the man immediately stood up, then dragged his still unconscious friend, and ran away.

Without looking back even once, he panicked and ran as fast as he could while dragging his friend, as if his life was at stake.

After everything, when Arya returned inside the house, Aruna and Kiara were waiting for him in the living room with different gazes.

Especially for his younger sister, Arya saw that her gaze had now become complicated, between fear, shock, disbelief and curiosity. Her lips seemed to move when the girl looked at him, as if wanting to say something, but in the end didn't say anything.

Arya might be able to guess what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything and only turned toward Kiara, who was currently staring at him with wide eyes.

"Daddy's so cool!"

Without fear or awkwardness, the little girl shouted happily and approached him.

While clenching her small fists, she began to chatter, "Daddy is so amazing! Successfully defeated the bad men who have been bothering Mama and Ara all this time! These bad people looked scary, but Daddy hit them so hard! Like... Like heroes on TV. So cool!"
