Liam had been watching them in the crystal ball. He also heard their conversation. It looked like this arrogant woman was flaunting her wealth to bully them.
He had heard enough. He couldn't turn a blind eye knowing that a child was abused and bullied by her own relatives.
Meanwhile, Zu Wan frowned after seeing Liam. He could sense a powerful vibe with this man. Zu Wan hated the way Liam was gripping his shoulder. It seemed that he wanted to stop him from hurting Ella's Aunt but at the same time, he offered them help.
"And who are you?" Ella's Aunt asked Liam. She was glad that he appeared or else, Zu Wan would have done something to her.
'But wait? Is he helping them? Providing them an attorney? What is Titania's relationship with this handsome guy?' Ella's Aunt pondered to herself.
Even Titania was wondering who this handsome stranger who suddenly appeared.
Liam smiled at Ella's Aunt before introducing himself. "I'm Liam Clark, a professor from the University of Imperial Knight."
Ella's Aunt and Titania were taken aback when they heard that. University of Imperial Knight was one of the prestigious universities in the City of Empire.
'What is he doing here? A professor from that Prestigious University?' Titania asked herself, eyeing Liam with amusement.
Zu Wan removed Liam's hand on his shoulder. For some unknown reason, he didn't like this guy although he was helping them.
It did not take long when the smile on Liam's face disappeared and he became serious. He turned to Titania.
"I heard that you need an attorney to sue them for bullying and abusing your daughter. Mam, I can help you with that," Liam said, glancing at Ella with his softened expression.
Ella's blue eyes lit up meeting Liam's emerald eyes.
'He is so handsome. I want to marry him when I grow up! He has a nice name… Liam,' Ella thought to herself.
"But I can't afford to pay and hire an attorney," Titania meekly said.
"Don't worry. The attorney is my friend. Free of service. I will help you."
Ella's Aunt clenched her fists. She was fuming in rage right now. Another stranger stepped up to protect Ella and Titania.
"You bitch! I knew it. You are a whore. Did you seduce these men that's why they are helping you? Did you sleep with them? My brother shouldn't have chosen you!"
"Mam, watch your words," Liam warned her with his sharp gaze.
It did not take long when the police officers arrived. Two police officers approached them
"We heard a report that someone is abusing a child here." The police officer said.
Zu Wan just looked at them indifferently. He had no idea that in this world there were laws to follow. And police officers were the ones maintaining the peace and order.
In this world, if he killed a human, there would be no guardian warrior to fight him, but police officers would hunt him down and put him in jail.
"Yes! They are trying to hurt me and my daughter! I am the one who called the police." Ella's Aunt put on a pitiful act, playing a victim role in front of the police.
"See, my guards there! He beat up my guards and he tried to hurt me!" She added, accusing Zu Wan. She also introduced herself as part of the Tang Family known for their Military power and influence.
But Liam intervened, telling the police officers that they were the ones who trespassed in Titania's house, bringing two bodyguards.
"She slapped me first! See officers, there is still a red mark on my face!" Ella's Aunt insisted.
But Liam spoke up again on Titania's behalf. He was like her spokesperson and her lawyer right now, defending them.
"Officers, Titania did it because she found out that Mrs. Tang here was abusing her daughter. We are planning to file a complaint against Mrs. Tang. We can provide evidence about our claim so we will just see her in court."
Ella's Aunt couldn't believe what she was hearing!
'Seeing me in court? As if they are gonna win against our Tang Family! Titania, you are delusional! I will ruin you!' Ella's Aunt had sworn to herself.
"We are not yet done here. The next time we see each other, you will beg for our forgiveness!" Ella's Aunt said to Titania before turning to leave. The bodyguard followed them while carrying his unconscious comrade.
The police officers also said goodbye to Liam and others. Liam had already explained to them the situation.
When they left, Titania and Ella approached Liam and thanked him.
"Mr. Clark, thank you for your help. Although we didn't know each other, you helped us today. By the way, how did you hear our conversation?" Titania asked him in puzzlement.
Zu Wan was observing Liam suspiciously as well.
"Oh, it just so happened that I was passing by here and saw the commotion. I heard it since Mrs. Tang was raising her voice at you. I just figured out the situation. Besides, I don't think that our little angel here will tell a lie." Liam explained, patting Ella's head.
Ella smiled at him. She was a little bit shy to speak to Liam. She was starstruck by his beauty.
"About the attorney, I can really help you with that. The Tang family is indeed influential and powerful but justice will prevail. Don't hesitate to fight them."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Clark. We really appreciate your help!" Titania cheerfully said.
Zu Wan just arched his eyebrow. He was still in doubt about Liam's intention of helping them.
They were still talking about the attorney when Liam noticed that someone was watching them. After a few seconds, Liam immediately pushed Titania to the ground.
"Stay down! There is a sniper!"
Liam was hit by a bullet on his right shoulder. He was now bleeding. Someone was trying to kill Titania. Zu Wan immediately grabbed Ella to protect her.
There was another gunshot but the sniper missed. Liam pulled Titania towards the house while Zu Wan carried Ella in his arms.
"Someone is trying to hurt you. Come with me. You should leave this place." Liam suggested to them.
