Now that Valentina had already established the fact that she was close with him, Damien felt that it wouldn't be much of a difference if he acted unfamiliar with Valentina.
Even if it might mean more trouble, he decided to act as he usually would with Valentina. He already got enough of trouble and didn't think that any more would make much of a difference.
Seeing Damien walk away while holding Valentina close, Roy Clive's features shook as he clenched his teeth. Not only was he insulted in front of everyone, but Damien also took away the woman he never before desired so badly in his life.
Most of the time, women would gladly throw themselves upon him, or at most, he would have to use coercion by using his influence. Never he had to face such blatant rejection.
"Hold it, Damien!" Roy Clive shouted as his silhouette flashed in front of Damien, "You think this is the Rong Empire where you can just spit on me and leave? Fairy Valentina, how can you not show me face? I did you the favor of cleaning up your mess and even make sure that Luke doesn't file a complaint against you. If I, for some reason, didn't want to stop Luke from reporting to the discipline committee, you might have to face a lot of consequences as Luke is coming from a noble family. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Roy Clive had enough after seeing how close these two were. He decided that if he cannot woo Valentina to his side, he will use coercion. As long as he gets to enjoy such a heavenly beauty, it didn't matter to him which method he had to use.
He already sent a mental transmission to his men and ordered them to disperse the crowd away, not to let them hear things he didn't want them to.
Damien thought inwardly how stupid Roy Clive was to use a backhanded threat. But he thought it was quite natural as youngsters like Roy Clive had become too arrogant because of not tasting defeat or facing a rejection ever in their life. One would usually become more complacent and conceited when everything in their life goes as they wished.
Valentina indifferently replied as she gave a death stare, "Why should I? I never asked for any favor, and you can do whatever you want. I am not coming with you nor anyone else. Besides, the real loser here is you. Now, get out of my sight!"
Roy Clive's expression blackened as he said in a hard tone, "Then what will happen to your precious Damien if I pin whatever you did on to him? Do you really want him to suffer the consequences of what you did? He is nothing but trash from the Rong Empire, whereas Luke is from the noble family. Who do you think the elders of the disciplinary committee are going to listen to? Especially when I also put in some words." As he finished, an evil grin emerged on his face.
Roy Clive had used the same tactic to steal away numerous women from wealthy families who were girlfriends or wives of other men. Usually, their boyfriends would have a relatively lower status, and he used that weakness to blackmail their girlfriends.
If he sets sight on some girl and likes her, he would surely play with her for a night or as long as he wants and then throw them away.
But now that he saw Valentina with his own eyes, he didn't feel like playing with any other women until he had Valentina first. He wondered how much he would enjoy breaking a cold girl like her.
'Didn't take long for him to reveal his true colors.' Damien snickered inwardly.
Valentina's brows furrowed for a moment, but when Damien tightened his grip around her shoulders, she relaxed, and her face had a confident and determined expression.
She had absolute trust in Damien. If he assured her that it was of no issue to him, then she would completely believe him.
Roy Clive inwardly grinned when he saw the change in Valentina's expression first. But when her expression again changed back to her usual confident self, he became disconcerted.
He became infuriated as he realized that Damien must have said something to her. From the beginning itself, a weakling was standing in his way.
Deciding not to be the fool anymore, he decided not to let Damien go scot-free, especially when Damien beat up his younger brother.
A wave of ethereal energy exploded from Roy Clive's body, which startled Damien as he was astounded by the power behind his energy. He instantly sensed that Roy Clive was at the Sixth Level of the Earth Ethereal Realm and realized how powerful someone ranked in the Eternal Hall of Fame is.
Roy Clive's hand formed a claw as he tried to grasp Damien's neck like a hawk. But before Damien and Valentina could react, a silver whip coiled around Roy Clive's arm and pulled it back.
Roy Clive was startled as he felt an immense pull on his hand.
He turned his head in vexation, "Who the—" But his mouth froze when he saw the silver whip.
He turned back to see a seductive beauty with loads of makeup on her face. Not only she had a seductive charm; even her dress looked seductive to the point people would wonder if she was a prostitute, especially how her dress highlighted her half-naked bosom.
The azure armband on her arm glimmered with three stripes, which implied that she was a third-year Elite disciple just as Roy Clive.
But those who knew her didn't dare to think of her as a prostitute. Even if they did, they would try their best not to show it on their face. However, the men who saw her couldn't help but drool over her figure for the first time.
'Great, another nut job.' Damien didn't expect everyone to gang up on him today. He also sensed that she had the cultivation as Roy Clive, which meant that she was also in the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings.
Roy Clive frowned and said in a piqued tone as he undid the whip around his arm, "Dennisa, what is the meaning of this? Why the hell are you butting into my business all of a sudden?"
Despite her looks, Roy Clive didn't want to be anywhere near her as he knew best, that she was not a normal one.
"Fu fu, little Roy, just because your Clive and my Rivers Family are having good ties now doesn't mean I can't cross paths with you if I wanted to. Especially when you were going to hurt my poor prince." Dennisa Rivers said in a casual tone as she sashayed towards Damien with an alluring smile.
When Roy Clive heard her call him as 'little Roy' again, he winced, but when he heard the last part of her sentence, he wasn't surprised anymore why she was here.
He laughed inwardly, thinking that probably this was the best situation as even he couldn't imagine what all things Dennisa Rivers was going to do to Damien now that she had her sights on him.
"My prince, do you have any idea how long I have waited for you?" She asked with an adoring gaze as she looked at Damien.
Seeing his picture-perfect handsome face, she licked her lips as she slowly moved her hand towards his face to touch him. She had never felt her body become so hot from just seeing a face.
The more she looked at him, the more she wanted to taste him. She wished that she had caught him sooner and decided to punish her 'toys' later for not informing her about Damien sooner.
Damien frowned but before he could do anything...
"Don't you dare touch him!" Valentina shrilled as she caught Denissa River's hand.
Dennisa Rivers slowly moved her eyes towards Valentina, and when she saw her picturesque beauty, she felt so inferior that she felt threatened for the first time in her life. Seeing Valentina's face, she felt like scaring her flawlessly beautiful face permanently.
She wrinkled her nose and tried to shake off Valentina's hand.
"Huh…" But surprisingly, Valentina's hand was still firmly gripping her.
Her face scowled as she yelled, "You bitch dare to touch me!" She used her maximum body strength as she forcibly shook off Valentina's hand.
Just as she shook off from Valentina's grip, she raised her hand to slap her face.
