Kyle Vespera had assaulted a woman from a noble family and nearly killed her younger brother.

That was the talk of the day, on the streets in the houses and Zhan made sure to make it big. 

He was casually sitting in the garden sipping his tea when a servant came and told that to him.

While A-Yuan and A-Xiang taking the rounds of the grounds, Simon came and sat down in front of him, "Gosh, these kids are so energetic."

Zhan smiled, "You are talking like an old man.

Zhan poured him some tea, while Simon sighed and drank his tea, "I am the oldest here by the way, out of everyone, of course, I will feel like an old man after all."

Zhan laughed, and watched the two kids happily running, "They look so happy even after such a harsh training."

"Hmm...they see to truly enjoy it. And they always ask me to teach them something new every day gosh!"

"Brother you have also troubled our master a lot."

"what are you saying I was a very obedient child."

"Yeah, yeah, you were so good in everything that you wouldn't eat yourself, you would keep on training till master came and took your weapon away, or you would spend hours trying to train azure, and once again master would have to come and forcefully drag you away.

What a bothersome child you were."

Simin laughed, "Shut up, I have trained so hard that's why I am better than you."

Zhan cannot say anything against this statement, "Indeed brother you are the best, no one can defeat you in being the best."

Meanwhile, Baron Vespera face huge problems the customers had stopped coming to his shop and his business was declining.

No matter how hard he tried no one wanted to invest and no one wanted to do any business with him.

So much stress was taking a toll on his health, no matter what he did wherever he went everyone would just look at him with disdain.

It was no better for his family, his wife couldn't even go out and even Adeena would have to go through harassment.

The matter soon escalated when Kyle told the police that how vicious and scheming Adeena was and it was soon revealed to the public as well, and then more gossips spread because Adeena was once a candidate for the saintess.

She can't even raise her head in front of the crowd.

Her family wanted to ask for help from Zhehan but he was not in the town but his mother did help them but it was not enough.

And it would never be enough because Zhan had made sure that no one would help them.

~~~

One day Baron Vespera just collapsed on the floor he completely broke down and cried his heart out, "Father!!"

Adeena held her father's hand as she saw him cry Adeena's mother was there as well.

Her father cried, "My years of hard work, have gone waste, ah!! I had worked so hard to raise my standard and become a baron, "The baron slapped his head again and again, "everything is gone!! my life's work my savings haaah!!!"

His wife who was beautiful and a kind woman cried as well, she had been with him since the beginning and she had seen her husband work day and night before he can stand up on his own feet.

Her husband had to work for years and years before he gained today's success but now it was all gone.

Adeena couldn't see her father like this, "Father let's go to duke WeiXiao, maybe he can help us."

"I will be a Villain in this life."Where stories live. Discover now
