Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 139

Wally sensed trouble and tried to sneak away.

Violeta was quick on her feet. She grabbed him on time and said, "Mr. Wally, don't even think about leaving.

"You've trashed the shop. Aren't you going to pay for the damages?"

Wally was terrified. He had thought this woman was just good at fighting, but she had taken down the wrestler he brought from home.

This is terrifying!

She's a beast!

"I'll pay! I'll pay!"

Wally stammered, "How much? I'll send the money over in a bit."

Violeta shook her head and said, "No way. You're staying here. Call someone to bring the money."

Wally, now completely subdued, agreed, "Alright."

They walked into the pen shop.

Cyril had already found the pen for her and said, "Here's the one you wanted."

Violeta took the box and opened it. Inside, the pen lay perfectly. Its body was beautiful, made with the finest materials.

Hayden saw the pen and immediately recognised it, saying, "It's the Umber pen."

Cyril praised, "You have a good eye."

Violeta turned to Hayden curiously and asked, "How did you know its name?"

Hayden replied, "My family used to have one."

Cyril narrowed his eyes and questioned, "That's impossible. A pen like this is made exclusively for the palace. The only other one is in a museum."

Hayden smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Did you make this pen? Are you a member of Hum family?"

Cyril nodded and revealed, "Yes, I'm Cyril Hum, the 23rd-generation heir of the Imperial Pen Makers."

His response enlightened Violeta.

No wonder Cyril's name sounded familiar. He was the heir of the Imperial Pen Makers.

No wonder this old man dared claim his pens were the best in the nation. His eccentric personality made sense, given his background.

Many wealthy families asked Cyril for a custom pen.

To avoid them, he opened a small shop here.

It was by sheer luck that Violeta found him.

Wally was squatting nearby. He had already made a call.

He then waited for his family to come and pay for the damages and take him home.

Wally had been clever. He called his uncle, who loved him and held a high position in the city.

Once his uncle arrived, Wally was confident that this woman would no longer be a threat.

When his uncle found out he'd been beaten, not only would the shop not be compensated, but these people would be in serious trouble.
