Chapter 415 How Dare You

As Joseph noticed Lucian getting nearer to them, he glanced at his friends who were standing not far away. Joseph steeled himself and stood in front of Lucian. "Do you know this woman?”

Lucian slowly came to a stop as his gaze emotionlessly swept over the man in front of him before returning to Roxanne's face.

The woman in question had cast her gaze downward, and her lips were pursed. She did not seem to want his help at all.

Noticing her reaction, Lucian felt like he was being mocked.

Even at this stage was Roxanne still trying to avoid him.

Since that was her wish, Lucian would grant it.

Upon thinking of that, Lucian looked away. "I don't know her."

Joseph inwardly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words.

The man on the floor scrambled to get up. He pointed at Lucian's back and exclaimed, "Why did you kick me?" His voice was full of anger.

Lucian only shot him a cold look.

The man on the floor suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He zipped his mouth sheepishly.

It was after a while that Lucian replied in a cold voice, "You were in my way."

The man who had been kicked opened his mouth indignantly. However, he did not dare to say much for he knew he was no match for Lucian. Thus, he walked back into the crowd. Lucian turned to look at Joseph. "Please continue," he said, although his tone seemed like he was commanding Joseph instead.

As soon as Lucian spoke, both Roxanne and Joseph's expressions changed.

Roxanne never expected Lucian to say something like that. Surprise flashed across her eyes as she clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to look at him.

She refused to believe that Lucian meant what he said.

Joseph, on the other hand, looked at Lucian in doubt. He frowned at the latter.

If Lucian had not appeared, Joseph would definitely have continued.

However, now that there was a domineering man looking from the side, there was no way he would be able to continue his act.

Yet, that domineering man's eyes seemed to be boring holes into Joseph. It seemed like if Joseph did not continue, that man would not leave.

I bet he was lying about not knowing her!

Nevertheless, Joseph submitted to Lucian's domineering pressure and turned back to face Roxanne. He slowly walked toward her.

Roxanne had originally thought of a plan to handle Joseph, but Lucian's gaze unknowingly made her panic.

Looking at the man inching nearer to her, Roxanne's pupils constricted, and she instinctively took a step backward. She then raised her hand and slapped Joseph.

The crisp sound of a slap rang in everyone's ears.

The young men who were standing not far away were stunned at what happened.

Joseph's eyes widened.

He did not manage to react as he was oppressed by Lucian's domineering aura.

How dare she hit me?

He quickly snapped back to reality and glanced at Lucian. The latter's expression did not change. It seemed like Lucian did not plan on interfering at all. At once, Joseph's expression darkened as he roared, "How dare you hit me?" He took a large step toward Roxanne and raised his hand to hit her.

Roxanne subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.

However, that hand never came into contact with her skin.

There wasn't even any sound.

After a while, Roxanne slowly opened her eyes and noticed an arm stretched across her. Lucian's large hand had grabbed onto Joseph's wrist, stopping him.

Joseph, who was still standing in front of Roxanne, gritted his teeth silently. His face had turned ashen.

Although the one whom Roxanne had slapped was Joseph, Lucian seemed to have been shaken. He finally realized what he had done.

He then saw that Joseph was about to hit Roxanne.

All of the suppressed rage and guilt erupted within him as the aura around him became even more terrifying than before.

When Joseph's wrist was grabbed by Lucian, he was about to scold the latter when he met his eyes. Joseph instantly shut his mouth. Even though Joseph's wrist felt like it was about to snap at any second, all he could do was break into a cold sweat. He didn't even dare to make a sound at all.
