"Y-You're lying!" Mandy, a short-haired girl mustered her courage to speak up just then. "You molested Kat! That's why she hit you!" Cid glared at the girl right then, leaving her too scared to speak again. "I only touched her face. Is it my fault she refused to respect me?!" Nash forced a smile as he said, "Look, this is all just a misunderstanding, and there's no need to make things worse. Why don't we all just take a step back?" "Take a step back?" Cid laughed in utter scorn and leapt forward to slap Nash across the face. "Who do you think you are, tellingwhat to do?! Take a step back?! What gives you the right to tellwhat to do?!" Nash stumbled and almost fell from the slap.

Nash stopped her, however. "You're a girl, Kat! Don't do it!" "What, you want a fight?! Con, hit me!" Cid sneered. "None of you will leave this place alive if you even laid a finger on me!" "Please calm down, sir. It's really all just a misunderstanding." Nash kept trying to make peace and kept smiling apologetically. "We can talk about this." "Talk about this?!"

While Nash stood, fidgeting helplessly, Cid eventually sighed. "Forget it—I could tell that you beggars could never afford it, but | won't push you either." He pointed at Kat then. "Have your daughter spend the night with me, and I can forget about the three hundred grand. How about that?" "Dream on!" Kat spat.
Nash mused to himself for a while and eventually looked up, speaking sincerely. "S-Sir, don't worry— just givea few days, and I'll get you the money." "lI want it right now!

Not even B-list celebs get paid that well!" "I've had enough!" Kat flipped out as Cid continued to abuse her father.

"What...?" Cid was actually stunned by the blow and reached up to touch his head.
When he saw that he was bleeding all over, he cto his senses. "Y-You bitch! You hit me!"
