Instead of stepping back, Ren actually walked towards him and pointed at his own face.
"Here! If you want to hit someone, hit me here. Go on!"
The man hesitated.
Ren gave him a challenging smile.
"And I promise you, I'll walk straight outside afterwards. Then we'll see who gets divorced first, you or me. Will I be the one getting scolded, or will you be the one whose wife breaks his legs?"
The man's raised hand stopped in midair.
Ren folded his arms.
"Have you already forgotten what Lady Heena did to the timber guild leader? Or have you forgotten what happened to that guard? She beat the man so badly that even watching it was enough to make people think twice before provoking her."He leaned forward slightly.
"So, imagine what would happen if I went outside and told everyone what you've been saying in here. What do you think your wife would do when she heard about it?"
The man's expression changed immediately.
