Yohan finished every bite of the meal his mother had provided. It was incredibly flavorous, surpassing any dish he had ever tasted back on Earth.
"I've completely stuffed myself with that delicious food, so what's next on the agenda?" he mused. Stepping out onto his room's balcony, he noted the darkness that had already settled over the land. As he scanned the area outside the window, his attention was suddenly drawn to a specific spot on the street outside the clan, where several men were violently assaulting a woman.
"What the hell are those bastards doing to that lady?" he thought, his blood beginning to boil at the sight. It infuriated him that no one was stepping forward to assist her.
He squeezed his fist tight, watching the bystanders who were merely observing the scene, none of them willing to intervene on her behalf.
"Those bastards are just watching and won't even bother to help. What kind of world have I been incarnated into?" He muttered to himself before suddenly leaping from his window. Despite the height being roughly 20 meters, he landed on the ground with ease, suffering no injuries. Even though his Cultivation was considered trash, the fundamental training he had received from his grandfather allowed his body to react instinctively, overcoming the height barrier effortlessly.
Without hesitation, he began sprinting toward the street to rescue the woman.
Meanwhile,
.
The maid who had served his lunch just moments ago witnessed the Young Master jumping from the window. Her jaw practically hit the floor as she watched him leap.
"What is that shameless bastard planning now? Why would he suddenly jump out of a window?" she whispered, quickly glancing around to ensure no one had overheard her insult.
"Thank god. I almost lost my composure. If anyone heard me saying those things, I would be in serious trouble," she thought, swallowing hard.
"But what kind of stunt is he pulling this time? He seemed different to me somehow," she whispered. Driven by curiosity, she began to follow the Young Master. She had cared for him since he was an infant and used to play with him, but as the years passed, he had grown shameless. He usually showed total disregard for those of lower status, discriminating against and chasing away anyone who didn't belong to a wealthy family or Sect.
He had treated Ana no differently. She was one of the most reliable maids, trusted by his mother more than anyone else, which was why she was put in charge of Young Master Yohan. She handled his meals, his wardrobe, his laundry, and every other necessity.
Yet, that bastard never showed any gratitude for her hard work; instead, he lusted after her and constantly pursued other women.
"Sigh, why am I even following that shameless bastard?" she sighed, trailing behind him at a distance.
Meanwhile,
"You b*tch! How dare you try to sneak out of the brothel? We paid a fortune to buy you from your family, yet you refuse to comply? Do you have any idea what happens to people who defy Lord Nicholas?" one of the men growled while pinning the woman down.
"Please, just let me go. I don't want to do those things. I'll pay you back, please leave me alone! I refuse to go to that place!" she begged, tears streaming down her face.
"Shut up, b*tch!" one of the men shouted, striking her across the face. She collapsed to the ground, blood beginning to leak from her nose.
"Hey, you four spineless bastards! Leave her alone right now or you're dead!" A voice suddenly rang out through the area. The four men assaulting the woman froze as they heard the shout.
"Which bastard thinks he can interfere in our business?" one of them roared, clenching his fists. The other three quickly moved to stand beside him, forming a line.
The surrounding crowd, who had been watching the event unfold, were equally shocked to hear someone actually challenge these men.
Yohan didn't hesitate, approaching the four thugs directly. Both the crowd and the men noticed the young man walking toward them.
As the young man came into view, the crowd began to whisper intensely. Ana also arrived, watching Yohan from a safe distance.
"What's happening? Who is this kid?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Does he have a death wish? Who goes against Lord Nicholas?" another person whispered.
"Wait, isn't that the shameless bastard of the Lin Clan? The one who fools around and ruins his clan's reputation?" someone else remarked.
"Has he finally gone retarded? Why is he meddling in their business and challenging Lord Nicholas's authority?" another voice added.
As the gossip spread, Ana's heart skipped a beat.
"Has he lost his mind? What is he doing going up against those four? They are Lord Nicholas's men!" Ana whispered, her heart pounding faster and louder as she watched her master, Yohan.
Meanwhile,
The four men glared at Yohan with pure killing intent. The woman behind them also looked up, noticing the young man who was confronting these monsters for her sake.
Her heart throbbed seeing Yohan stand up for her, but she immediately became filled with worry for his safety.
"Hey, you four big fat monkeys, let her go and get the fuck out of here. Otherwise, I'm going to kick your asses," Yohan said, staring the four guys down.
Upon hearing Yohan's words, every jaw in the vicinity dropped. One person in the crowd even fainted from the sheer shock of Yohan's boldness.
The four men traded looks of disbelief before turning their gaze back to Yohan. A moment later, they burst into laughter, as if Yohan had just told the funniest joke they had ever heard.
