Joan threw the alcohol bottle on the floor, which sent a chill down Raquel's spine. His daughter-Rosa was standing on the other side eating an apple. She looked bored like she was expecting this. Raquel- their assistant felt frightened but she really hoped her face didn't show it. Joan does so many wrong things when he is drunk that Raquel was aware of since childhood. Obviously, he won't harm Rosa but Raquel knew there was a chance that he could harm Raquel.

'What do they think of themselves? I can destroy them in seconds.' Joan clicked his fingers and staggered near the window.

'Then why don't you?' Rosa asked as if that was the simplest thing ever. Joan stared at his reflection, his face revealing regret as his hand scrunched into a fist on the window.

'That, I have to do while following the...stupid law.'

He spat and turned; his eyes directly looked at Raquel. Raquel didn't move and stayed still. A bead of sweat trickled down her neck. She gulped. Joan staggered forward in Raquel's direction.

He came so close to Raquel that she could actually smell his breath. He raised a finger that touched her on the side of her forehead and went down from the top side of Raquel face to down to her chin. When his hand reached below her chin he moved her face up. A normal response would be to move but Raquel stayed still. She swallowed and looked directly in Joan's dark, oily black eyes.

'You tell me pretty and wise girl. Do you want me to break the law?'

Raquel knew better than to reply to Joan when he was drunk. When she didn't reply he placed a whole fist on her neck and pushed her to the wall.

'Why don't I just kill 'Xander? Why can't I be the KING OF THE WHOLE DORIAN?'

'Breaking the law would...only mean that... you would lose your current crown.' Raquel managed to say some choked words. The tightness of his fist was loosened and he turned away. Raquel massaged her neck and looked at Joan.

He drank more alcohol with the other bottle that was on the table.

'If I kill him, I will lose my crown, right? Then I won't kill him. I will pay to kill him.' The thunder of the sky roared as Joan laughed.
