We investigate a four-impurity Anderson model where localized orbitals are located at vertices of a regular tetrahedron and find a novel fixed point in addition to the ordinary Fermi liquid phase. That is characterized by unscreened scalar chirality of a tetrahedron. In this phase, parafermions emerges in the excitation spectrum and quasiparticle mass diverges as 1/|T log^3 T| at low temperatures (T). The diverging effective mass is a manifestation of singular Fermi liquid states as in the underscreened Kondo problem. Between the two phases, our Monte Carlo results show the existence of a non Fermi liquid critical point where the Kondo effects and the intersite antiferromagnetic interactions are valanced. Singular behaviors are prominent in the dynamics and we find that the frequency (omega) dependence of the self-energy (Sigma) is the marginal Fermi liquid like: Im Sigma \sim |omega|.
