Tall as Luis was, he was immature. Like a newly raised poplar, he was tall yet not strong enough. Therefore, the man didn't take him seriously.
When he saw that Alison had left, he thought she ran away in anger. He laughed when Luis suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The pain came from the man's wrist and changed his countenance. "You brat, let go! “ snapped the man.
With a snort, Luis shook the man's hand.
The man quickly covered his wrists and looked down. "How dare you! You're in trouble!"
As the man said, he picked up a ruler from the shopping cart and charged at Luis.
One of the onlookers let out a scream, attracting the attention of Alison, who was on the phone. She was startled and looked over, and her face paled at the sight of the scene.
The young Luis was quick in response and shouldered his way to dodge the man. He quickly grabbed the ruler with both hands from the man's hands and threw it back at him.
"Hiss!"
The man gasped. Seeing this, his wife, leaving her son alone, took a mop from the side and gave Luis a sharp prod. "You son of a bitch. You dare to beat my husband. I'll kill you!"
What Luis couldn't bear was that someone cursed Scarlett, while the woman was just doing so.
In a fit of anger, Luis dodged the mop, grabbed it, and threw it at the child. The child who had just been coaxed was shocked and cried again.
