"So? What's the point of us coming here if we are just going to sit here?" Zaki's voice was filled with boredom as he stuck his face to the car's window. His lazy eyes focused on the crowded place across the road.

"How about you stay here and I go?" he continued, but Sei instantly answered him with an intensely sharp glare, telling him that he would lose his legs the moment he stepped out of the car. Zaki's face fell as though he was about to die from boredom and let out a deep and disappointed sigh.

But after a few minutes, Zaki just couldn't keep his mouth shut and started talking again.

"Do you really intend to just wait here forever? You see, women take forever when they go out shopping, okay? How about I go after her and take a video of her in secret while you watch here? Here, I'll use thi---,"

"No need."

"Huh? Listen to m---," Zaki couldn't continue talking because Sei suddenly lifted his phone and a live video of Davi, talking happily to a few lively vegetable sellers, was already playing on it.

"Who the hell did you send?!"

"YiJin."

"Why that brat instead of me? Why?" Zaki tugged his brown hair looking so damn disappointed. He wailed like a kid who just failed to get the role he wanted for their primary school stage play, while Sei completely ignored him and just focused on the girl on his phone.

After an hour, Zaki was already at his limit and was about to burst when Sei finally put his phone down and looked out the window without any expression. Zaki also abruptly awakened and his boredom instantly disappeared as he stuck his face to the window.

A girl in commoner's clothes was walking with bags of vegetables in her hands. Her long black silky hair was tied up and she was completely barefaced, yet people around her couldn't help but stare, as if a goddess suddenly appeared in the middle of the noisy market. Her white, porcelain skin glowed even whiter under the sun making her appear as though she was Snow White.

Watching her somehow made Zaki felt refreshed, as though she was an oasis in the vast, dry desert.

However, what happened next slowly made the car's temperature drop down to below zero degrees. Seeing that the oasis was about to be muddied by some filthy creatures, Zaki's fist instantly clenched, turning his knuckles white.

Davi was walking nonchalantly when three men suddenly walked beside her, appearing to offer her help to carry the vegetable bags in her hands. The girl was obviously troubled, as she seriously shook her head at them.

Zaki, who was bursting with anger couldn't even talk nor make a move. It was because he felt a sudden and extreme cold chill coming from the man beside him. He slowly turned his face towards Sei, like a robot, and the moment he saw Sei's face, Zaki's darkened face instantly turned radiant. Stars almost appeared around his face.
And the reason was because Sei's expressionless face just now, turned a bit angry. His sharp eyes were locked onto the guys in front of his wife and he was emitting a sudden and intense bloodlust.

Meanwhile, Davi's face turned sour and her bright eyes turned sharp as the persistent men just wouldn't leave her alone. She was starting to make a move and escape from them when one of the guys bumped into an old woman. The impact was strong enough that the old woman fell on the ground and the fruit she bought scattered all over the ground. What was worse was that the guy responsible didn't even glance at her.

Davi instantly halted. Her already sour face turned deadly in an instant as she threw daggers at the man responsible with her intensely piercing eyes. She put her bags down and helped the old lady.
