C18 – His Assets Increased Sharply

Lachlan squinted his eyes.

Claude was indeed a man with great ambition. He could quickly abandon his woman, and his ruthlessness was not something an ordinary person could compare with.

However, since he had already made his request, Lachlan would not go back on his word.

Lachlan took the bank card and said, “I won’t cripple you.”

“Master Yilmaz, thank you!” Claude was full of gratitude.

Actually, he had thought of taking revenge, but he was facing a martial artist. He really did not dare to take revenge, so he could only endure this humiliation.

Seeing that Claude was about to leave, Lachlan said again, “Although I won’t cripple you, my hand is swollen. How can I take revenge on you?”

Claude’s face turned desolate.

It was obvious that Lachlan had become addicted to blackmailing. He was not satisfied with the four million yuan.

“Master Yilmaz, what should I do? How much more do you want?” Claude was prepared to take out a lot of money until Lachlan was satisfied.

“As a man, it doesn’t matter if I get injured. The main thing is that Miss Windsor was frightened. Wake up Kimberley, and the two of you kneel down and apologize to her!”

As Lachlan spoke, Alyssa cooperated with Lachlan’s words and pretended to be pitiful. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if they would fall at any moment.

“Can I…”

Before Claude could finish, Lachlan interrupted impatiently.

“Are you going to kneel down or not? Stop talking nonsense.”

Claude felt very painful in his heart.

After all, he was the boss of an entire region. If the news of him kneeling to someone was spread, how could he continue to develop his career?

Would there still be people who would be afraid of him?

However, Lachlan was a martial artist. He simply could not withstand the anger of a martial artist.

Claude opened a bottle of mineral water and woke Kimberley up.

He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet as he knelt on the ground.

“Master Yilmaz, Miss Windsor, I have let you guys be frightened today. I am in the wrong. I hope you can forgive me!”

Kimberley was at a loss for what to do. Seeing that Claude had already surrendered, she did not dare to not kneel.

“Lachlan, I’m sorry! I hope you don’t get angry because of my lowly life. I was rude when I spoke, so please don’t break my arms and legs.”

Then, Kimberley slapped herself in the face.

“Humph, I hope you can take care of yourself!”

In fact, Lachlan could have extorted Claude another sum of money, but he chose to make Claude kneel down.

After all, Alyssa had made a bold declaration to make those who offended Kimberley to kneel down and apologize.

No matter what, he had to fulfill his promise.

Lachlan pulled Alyssa and left the district.

Along the way, Alyssa’s gaze never left Lachlan. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through Lachlan.

They walked to the entrance of a cafe.

Lachlan said indifferently, “You haven’t seen enough? Let’s go in and have a seat.”

“Are you dating me? This is our second time meeting, so is it a bit too fast?” Alyssa’s face was flushed red as she teased.

“It is indeed a bit too fast.”

Lachlan nodded and said, “Then we will part ways here. Let’s go back to our homes.”

“Hey, why are you so unromantic?”

Alyssa quickly pulled Lachlan back. She had a request from him, so how could she let him leave so easily?

“Let’s go. Since we have already arrived, let’s go in and sit down.”

Lachlan naturally wouldn’t leave, he was just teasing her.

The two of them sat down.

Alyssa said seriously, “Lachlan, thank you for saving me last time. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have already died.”

Lachlan shook his head and said, “Saving you was just a piece of cake. You don’t need to thank me.”

“It’s not that easy. I know my own body. It is almost impossible to cure Innate Cardiopathy. I have always lived in the pain of being sick.”

Alyssa said, “Yesterday, I went to the hospital to check up on my body. All the indicators of my heart are normal. In other words, you have completely cured my illness.”

Alyssa said, “Do you know how happy I am? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am today. You have undoubtedly given me a new life.”

Lachlan touched his nose.

Alyssa’s words seemed to be a bit emotional.

He quickly changed the topic, “How did you replace my house?”

“With your reputation, I only needed to ask around a little and I would know your information. Your grades are the best in the entire city.”

Alyssa intimately leaned against Lachlan’s side. That faint fragrance kept stimulating Lachlan’s hormones.

This made a man like him blush.

No matter if it was his previous life or his current life, he was still a virgin. Alyssa was very beautiful, so how could he resist such temptation?

“You’re not just here to thank me, right? What else do you want?”

“You’ve already guessed it! You have medical skills, good grades, and even martial arts. You are simply a recluse. I want you to be my boyfriend!”

“No! You can’t joke around like this.”

Lachlan did not dare to easily respond.

Alyssa was the daughter of the Windsor family, a typical daughter of a rich family. She was very beautiful, and there were many people who pursued her.

Lachlan did not have the time to deal with so many love rivals.

“How do you know that I’m joking? What if I say the truth?”

A hint of resentment flashed across Alyssa’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

She said seriously, “I have two things to ask of you. The first is to ask you to treat my father. You know that most of my illnesses are hereditary, and my father is getting worse and worse.”

“No problem. As long as uncle trusts me, I can treat him.” Lachlan nodded in agreement.

“Hehe, I knew you were the best.”

Alyssa took out a bank card and handed it to Lachlan. “Here is ten million. It’s the money to thank you for saving me. As for the compensation for saving my father, you’ll get another sum of money.”

“I know you don’t lack money right now, but this is my gratitude to you. So, you must not refuse.”

Lachlan calmly accepted it. He did not feel that it was wrong to use his medical skills to earn money.

“The second thing is my birthday. I want to invite you to the birthday banquet. Do you have time?”

Alyssa’s eyes were filled with hope. This was a private matter.

Lachlan had no reason to reject her invitation.

She did not know if an expert like him would agree to her invitation.

Lachlan grinned, “Miss Windsor, I naturally cannot reject your invitation.”

“Yeah!”

Alyssa cheered, “From now on, just call me Thousand NIght. You call me Miss Windsor too far away.”

When the two of them parted ways, it was already close to noon.

Lachlan sneakily returned to the classroom. When the teacher saw that it was Lachlan, he did not make a sound.

After all, his results were the best in the entire city. As long as he did not make any serious mistakes, the teacher could cover for him.

“Lachlan, you actually skipped class? This is really out of my expectations!”

Fat Ballard whispered.

Although Lachlan’s previous studies were average, he was a good kid. He had never skipped class before.

“I am late, not skipping class,” Lachlan explained.

“It’s eleven o’clock in the afternoon now. There is still half an hour before school starts. You said you were late?”

“Is there a problem? Fatty.”

Seeing Lachlan’s unfriendly gaze, Terry smiled awkwardly.

Previously, Terry felt that Lachlan’s body was thin and weak, and he even hit Lachlan a few times.

However, he had been taught a harsh lesson by Lachlan, so he naturally did not dare to disobey him.

“Right, brother, tomorrow is the weekend. Do you want to come with me to the History Town near the school?”

Lachlan pondered for a moment. There was a huge business opportunity in the Antique Market.

If he could buy a suitable antique, it would not be a dream for him to become rich overnight.

Now that he had some money in his hands, he naturally wanted to make use of it to create a higher value.

Lachlan immediately nodded his head, “Alright, let’s go together tomorrow.”
