chapter 5 I am the background

It's Delfina!
Delfina's sudden appearance shocked everyone.
He put down the fruits and gifts on his hands. He took some time to choose presents before going to the Residential Community, because he wanted to pass it to Aunt Gentry when he dropped by. Therefore, he was a bit slower than Nagnoloa.
However, as he walked into the house happily, he was surprised by the scene.
Delfina looked across the room, ignoring Bernard who were still on the ground. He was relieved when saw Hibiscus unharmed. However, Nagnoloa was still in shock.
He hadn't expected to meet her again.
Three encounters in one day – what kind of fate was this?
Of course, it might also be a fateful misfortune.
"Kid!"
Scarface bent his neck. He did not expect so many interruptions when trying to collect a debt. He was getting annoyed, glaring fiercely at Delfina. "Look at you, young but talking big, huh? Do you also want to be like the so-called hero on the ground?"
Obviously, the "hero" on the ground was Bernard, who was now feeling embarrased from Scarface's mockery.
"Don't compare me to rubbish."
Delfina approached slowly with a strange rhythm in his footsteps, inexplicable and intriguing.
Bernard's face turned even redder as he endured the pain and stood up. "Who are you calling rubbish?!"
Delfina said calmly, "Whoever speaks is the one."
"You!"
Nagnoloa suddenly rushed over and grabbed Delfina's arm with a frightened expression, "Delfina, you can't beat them!"
"These people are very formidable; even Bernard, a black belt in karate, couldn't fight them. How can you fight them alone?"
"I don't mind you've been following me all this way. It's good that you came to protect me, but don't be foolish. Look at the situation!"
"Quickly! Call the police!"
When Bernard knew Delfina was Nagnoloa's friend, he was even more unhappy and dissatisfied with Delfina.
However, he didn't want Delfina to run away just like that. More, he wanted to see Delfina got beaten up, or even beaten to death! Then, he wouldn't feel as embarrassed.
Scarface and his sidekicks wore mocking expressions. Although Delfina was tall, standing at a height of 1.85 meters; however, compared to Bernard he appeared somewhat slender. They didn't really take him seriously.
Scarface sneered even more disdainfully. "Kid, look yourself at the mirror. What can you do to us?"
Delfina pushed Nagnoloa aside, giving a faint smile, "I can beat up all of you."
"You're quite arrogant!"
Scarface grinned maliciously and said, "You've got some nerves! Let me teach you..."
Before he could finish his words, Scarface suddenly felt his wrist being gripped.
"What?!"
He was surprised and didn't know that Delfina had already approached him and grabbed his wrist.
Scarface attempted to break free, but Delfina's slender and fair hand was like an iron plier, grabbing stiffly.
"Crack!"
Delfina effortlessly let go of his hand. Scarface screamed in pain and he was thrown against the wall. A cracking sound resonated, causing even the wall to tremble.
Scarface lost consciousness instantly.
What had just happened left everyone in stunned silence.
"Now, which one of you wants to be next?"
Delfina gazed calmly at Scarface's sidekicks.
"You..."
They immediately realized Delfina's strength. Yet before they could react, Delfina had already seized their wrists.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The wrists of two men were simultaneously broken by Delfina. Before they could scream in agony, Delfina swiftly delivered two kicks and sending them flying, causing them unconscious.
Done!
He walked the talk!
Nagnoloa was completely stunned, it was like he was a superhero who suddenly appeared in a movie to rescue her from the danger.
On the other hand, Bernard was utterly dumbfounded. He was unable to believe what happened before his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Delfina beat them all up. A piece of cake for him.
Nagnoloa's eyes were now filled with complex emotions as she looked at Delfina, who stood with one hand in his pocket while remaining calm.
She felt that Delfina purposely followed her to Residential Community.
Maybe Delfina did that was to stay at her home and to impress her.
Although Delfina was poor, he still had some value considering his somewhat handsome appearance and impressive skills. It wouldn't be too difficult to reluctantly let him stay at her place.
"Delfina..."
She was about to say something but Delfina didn't even look at her. He walked straight past her.
Delfina stood in front of Hibiscus. "Hibiscus, do you still remember me?"
Hibiscus hadn't reacted yet, looking somewhat dazed as she stared at the handsome face in front of her.
She couldn't really remember Delfina. But he did look a little familiar upon closer look.
While she was hesitating, Delfina smiled. "Hibiscus, don't you remember me? I helped you get rid of the bad guys in the alley."
Delfina's voice was gentle that made Hibiscus's beautiful eyes shook.
After a moment, she joyfully grabbed Delfina's arm as she recalled something, "Are you Delfina?"
In that dark alley years ago, when she was about to be bullied and followed by bad guys, it was Delfina who came to her rescue.
Seeing the gentle brother from her childhood memories, tears instantly welled up in Hibiscus's eyes.
"Delfina!"
Delfina patted Hibiscus's back gently and said, "It's alright now. There's no one dares to bully you. I'll protect you."
"Alright..."
Hibiscus choked up a bit.
This reaction from Hibiscus left Bernard dumbfounded.
It was a totally different person because Hibiscus was cold and didn't really interested in men before this.
Meanwhile, Nagnoloa was still feeling awkward.
Her eyes were flickering as she looked at Hibiscus and Delfina.
As Hibiscus's best friend, she knew about this matter. Hibiscus had mentioned this good-hearted guy who had helped her from bullying several times.
She never expected that this guy was actually Delfina.
Now, Delfina had returned.
Soon, Scarface and his sidekicks were taken away by the police. Few of them helped Hibiscus to tidy up as the room was in disarray. In the end, Hibiscus invited them to a small restaurant as a gesture of gratitude.
Although Nagloloa wasn't accustomed to the atmosphere of a small restaurant, she still enjoyed the meal.
During the meal, Hibiscus and Delfina chatted and laughed. Nagloloa feeling a bit uncomfortable as she could hardly join their conversation.
Delfina enjoyed chatting with Hibiscus, but treating Nagloloa with a stern face.
"Hibiscus, even though today's issue has been resolved smoothly, but Scarface might come back to cause trouble again."
Nagloloa looked at Hibiscus with a serious face, "I think someone is behind them. They even dare to mess with the Harper Corporation and inflate the prices. Someone powerful is definitely backing them up."
Hibiscus looked troubled.
Delfina said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you. From now on, I am your backing."
Hibiscus was touched, but Bernard snorted, "What's the use of fighting? Besides fighting, what kind of background do you have?"
Hearing this, Hibiscus felt a bit upset. However Delfina patted her hand to signal her not to care.
There was no need to let everyone know his background and what he was able to do.
Delfina spoke with a hint of authority, "I don't need any background because I can lift myself up on my own!"
"Only incapable people rely on their family!"
