Many people’s eyes widened in shock when they saw Hades strike the female.

In the entire Black Domain, females were outnumbered by Beastmen by a ratio of three to one.

This meant it was normal for a female to have three or four Beast Husbands, with some even having five or six. Coupled with the high status females enjoyed, it was almost unheard of for anyone to hit a female, no matter the circumstances.

If someone did strike a female and was reported to the Female Alliance, they would be sentenced according to the severity of the act.

Even for someone like Hades, who held great power in the Black Domain, hitting a female was an act that would earn him universal scorn.

And among the crowd that had come out, there were quite a few females.

He had already lost the people’s support, and now, by striking a female, he had thoroughly enraged everyone.

The crowd, which had originally come out to find the source of the fragrant aroma, now forgot all about it and marched menacingly toward them.

The Beastmen took charge of restraining Hades, while the females went to help Tina, who was still dizzy and crumpled on the ground from the slap.

Some held umbrellas over her, others helped her up.

Hades, restrained by several Beastmen, thrashed furiously. "Don’t touch me! Get off! I said don’t touch me!"

Just then, one of the females supporting Tina asked, "Are you all right?"

Tina’s head was still spinning, a dull ringing in her ears.

After they helped her to her feet, she shook her head, still feeling faint.

The movement revealed the angry, swollen mark on her cheek. A massive handprint was clearly visible on one side of her face.

All the females gasped when they saw it.

’No wonder this female couldn’t get up for so long. She was hit that hard. A blow like that could leave you dizzy for hours.’

The other females, filled with righteous indignation, said, "Don’t you worry, we all saw him hit you! We’ll report it exactly as it happened!"

But when they got a clear look at her face and realized it was Tina, they all froze.

By now, Tina was feeling a little better. The stinging pain on her cheek made her instinctively reach up to touch the injury. "HISS—"

The moment she touched it, she grimaced in pain and shrieked, "Hades, you’re finished! You’ve really pissed me off now! I’m going to have my Beast Husband kill you!"

Hearing this, Hades’s already savage expression twisted into a bloodthirsty smile. He struggled violently and roared, "Then let him come! Hahahaha..."

Veins bulged on his neck as he thrashed. He was brimming with a rage that had nowhere to go. ’I’m going to die anyway, so I might as well take everyone with me!!’

Hades’s mind was consumed by Tina’s betrayal at the most critical moment. Rather than continue living like this day after day, he’d rather make everyone his funeral sacrifice!

That way, even in death, he wouldn’t be alone.

His original plan was to take Sang Mo down with him if his plea for peace failed, but dragging all of them into it sounded even better now.

The Beastmen holding Hades back were startled by his crazed appearance. Tina, however, was too consumed by the fear of being disfigured to care about anything else. Though Hades had slapped her before, that time was just to snap her out of a daze; he hadn’t used his full strength, not even a third of it.

But just now, blinded by rage, he had held nothing back. That was why it had taken Tina so long to recover.

Tina immediately placed a video call to her fiancé.

The moment he answered, she showed him her horribly swollen cheek, tears welling in her eyes as she cried, "Silver Moon, I’ve been hit! I’m so scared I’ll be disfigured! You have to kill him for me!"

The Beastman called Silver Moon responded immediately, "Where are you? I’m on my way."

Tina shared her location with Silver Moon, then proceeded to call her father and her doting uncles to tell them what happened.

After she finished her calls, she couldn’t resist touching her cheek again, and the pain was still unbearable.

Tears streamed down her face, but as they ran over her cheek, the stinging made her cry even harder. The tears irritated the swollen skin, causing more pain and more tears. This vicious cycle went on and on, leaving her sobbing uncontrollably for a long while.

The other females and Beastmen watched Tina’s dramatic reporting, utterly dumbfounded. Given how formidable Tina was, not to mention how much her family doted on her, she hardly needed their help...

They had heard before that Tina’s family had latched onto Hades, so in their eyes, Tina was basically Hades’s female.

But what had they just heard?

’Tina has a new Beast Husband?’

Putting that together with Hades’s current state, some of them guessed that Tina’s family must have seen Hades was about to fall and quickly found someone new to cling to.

Kicking him while he was down like this... no wonder Hades was so enraged.

Suddenly, the Beastmen holding Hades weren’t sure whether they should keep restraining him or let him go.

As Beastmen themselves, they knew they wouldn’t be in a good mood either if their own female eagerly ran off with another Beastman at a time like this. But hitting a female was definitely crossing a line.

Hades watched coldly as Tina made her calls. He had long known what kind of people her family was, and strangely, he began to calm down.

Bai Zhi and the others were completely unaware of the situation downstairs. They were currently enjoying a steaming hot pot.

Compared to the chaotic scene that morning, this meal was wonderfully relaxing.

Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen were fighting over the last meatball. "You’ve already had so many!" Yue Junxiao said urgently. "This one should be mine!"

Yan Yichen shouted back, "You haven’t eaten any less than me! Finders keepers!"

They both timed their lunge, chopsticks extended, but a third pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared between them and snatched the last meatball away in an instant.

Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen whipped their heads around to see Sang Mo holding the final meatball. Seeing their stares, he raised an eyebrow and, under their furious gazes, popped it into his mouth.

Yue Junxiao and Yan Yichen: "..."

After eating the meatball, Sang Mo didn’t forget to add a sneer, taunting, "Git gud."

The two of them, infuriated, let out a piercing shriek in unison, "Ahhh! Sang Mo!!"

Bai Zhi hadn’t realized the meatballs would be so popular. Hu Yan had placed one in her bowl to cool, which she hadn’t eaten yet. Seeing them fight so fiercely, Bai Zhi wondered, ’Are they really that good?’

So, she picked it up and put it in her mouth, thinking that maybe she should make more next time.

The moment she bit into it, juices exploded in her mouth. It tasted pretty good, but probably not so good that it was worth fighting over, right?

But the joy of hot pot was eating it with a lively group. Seeing how much they enjoyed it gave the cook a great sense of accomplishment.

She just didn’t expect that halfway through their meal, several loud BOOMS would suddenly erupt from downstairs.

Yue Junxiao immediately ran to the window, only to see a jaw-dropping scene unfolding below.
