Andrew and his three friends grinned. "Oh, you're pretty smart, too, for knowing what we want." Andrew raised one eyebrow, looking at Lucas with a condescending gaze. "Basically, we just want to warn you. You can't be so arrogant and pretentious because you've managed to date the prima donna of the campus. "You should realize who you are.""Oh." Lucas rolled his eyeballs at having them come over like Cole last night because of the prima donna issue yesterday."Just because you've dated the campus belle, you've become a popular pretender, huh?" Andrew's friend mocked Lucas with a faint grin.Lucas looked at the four people. Two of them were Mike's friends, but they weren't in Mike's gang yesterday. So Lucas let it go."Didn't you guys learn well from what happened yesterday?" Lucas tried to remind them.Andrew snorted in annoyance. He also witnessed what happened to Mike after dealing with Lucas, but now the problem was different because it was about the prima donna on campus, Lora."W
They were all quite surprised when they saw that the figure standing before them was the person they were talking about."Hi, Lora." Andrew immediately put on a friendly face, smiled at the woman, and approached her familiarly. "What's wrong? Why are you here?" She seemed to chuckle. "Shouldn't you be in class?"Nick caught a hint from Andrew, so he nodded with a friendly smile. "Yes, Lora. Are you trying to skip class? And again, what are you talking about? Why are you suddenly saying that?"Nick and Andrew were stunned, as if they were caught off guard by Lora. Of course, their behavior made Lora snort and roll her eyes in disgust."Stop your nonsense." Lora looked sharply at the two men in front of her. "I heard what you guys said." She stepped forward to Andrew and Nick, pointing her index finger boldly right in front of the two men's faces. "What you're doing is very bad. Threats could fall under the campus council. That act also falls under the violence section." He pointed at A
Andrew pulled Lucas' shoulder roughly and was about to hit the man, but Lucas quickly dodged and turned around, catching Andrew's hand, which made the two stare at each other.Andrew stared intently. He moved his hand, trying to slip out of Lucas' grasp. "How dare you touch me.""This form of violence could get you a severe warning." Lucas held Andrew's fist, telling the man about the risk he would be taking. "You could even be expelled from the college."Andrew set his jaw, glaring at Lucas. "You still don't understand the situation, do you?""Enough!" Lora spread her hands, centered between them and looking at the two men with annoyance. "I don't want a fight here. So stop this."Andrew pulled his hand from Lucas firmly, which made Lucas immediately release his hand. The two were still looking at each other with sharp eyes. There was even a horror in Lucas' eyes that made Andrew feel a little shudder.Andrew pointed his index finger in front of Lucas' face. "You have to think about
Lucas looked at Andrew with a cold and deep gaze. "You have to compensate me for the damage to my car.""What? Your car?" Andrew burst out laughing again. "Even if you say it with that kind of face, I'll never believe you fool!" Andrew shook his head. "What a cheater."Andrew had a very annoying look on his face. The man thought that Lucas was a madman obsessed with being rich. How could a scholarship student own a car? Even if it was just an old and worthless car, Andrew was sure it didn't belong to Lucas."It turns out the rumors about you being a liar were true. Lucas, Lucas... you are a shameless man, aren't you." Andrew chuckled. What a poor guy in front of him, he thought. "Besides, if it is your car, I don't want to compensate you, especially since it's your employer's car." Andrew raised both hands with a big smile, just like a crazy psychopath. "Oh, I'll be thrilled to have you scolded by your employer.""Yeah, and you're going to get fired from your job eventually," Nick add
The front of Andrew's car was not fine. The bumper of his car was slightly dented. The man was shocked to the point of not being able to say a word. Even his heart was racing once for a few seconds.In a completely chaotic situation, he also panicked and immediately turned his steering wheel, dodging Lucas' attack. Andrew tried to control himself."Damn it. Damn it." His voice trembled, muttering under his breath. The look on his face was now deathly pale. Even his hands holding the steering wheel were shaking violently."Are you out of your mind, huh?" Nick half stood up in his car. He grumbled loudly in protest of Lucas' actions.Nick and the other two men looked at Andrew, and they, too, had the panic of witnessing how hard Lucas had crashed Andrew's car.Andrew drove the vehicle back, measuring a step back to avoid Lucas' attack, but the man attacked again. Andrew's car was hit again, hit in two consecutive strikes that left Andrew inside shaken violently. His seat belt was tightl
Hearing the amount of money mentioned by Lucas made one person incredulous. The four men burst into laughter, mocking Lucas."You're completely out of your mind." Nick waved his arms in the air. He clutched his stomach, which hurt from laughing too much. "What kind of nonsense is that? How could a junker like that cost more than 75 million dollars? If you want to dream, you should sleep at home, not wandering around in the daytime like this."Andrew shook his head, thinking Lucas was too brilliant to think of such a thing. He had seen his uncle's antique car overseas, and it was highly luxurious despite being decades old and costing 100 million dollars. It's very different from that car owned by Lucas, it doesn't even look elegant but looks like a junk car that deserves to be scrapped and destroyed in the iron shredder."Ouch, Lucas. What do you think we are, that we can be lied to like little children?" Andrew chuckled, clapping his hands to encourage the man before him. "That's grea
Lucas nodded his head. "I'm fine."The man's tone was still cold, and he wore a flat face. He glanced around and saw how the once clean parking lot was now cluttered with debris from his car and the four men's damaged cars.Lora exhaled while puffing out her cheeks. "Ah, this is such a mess." She looked at Lucas with an awkward look in her eyes. "It's my doing again."Lucas immediately looked at the woman. "No, it's not. It's not because of you."Lora smiled as she heard the same answer as before. "If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have done something like this."Lora still felt guilty about last night's incident at the festival and the threatening incident until this incident in the parking lot, which made her guilt even greater. Lora didn't think that Andrew and her friends would still bother Lucas when it was clear that she didn't like what they were doing, even though their alibi was to protect her from Lucas, but she didn't feel threatened around Lucas at all.Lucas didn't resp
Lucas immediately got into the car, started the engine, and drove to the repair shop recommended by Lora according to her directions. They finally arrived at the repair shop.Lucas glanced at Lora. Lora understood the man's gaze and nodded her head. "Just get in."Lucas drove the car into the large workshop. There were three people there who were mechanics. At first, the three 30-year-old men frowned at the car's arrival, but their faces instantly changed when they saw the woman inside."Lora." One of the men called out Lora's name excitedly, followed by the other two men, who seemed to welcome her."Wait!" Barley, the workshop owner, raised both hands when he saw Lora open the door.The man in the blue jumpsuit rushed to one corner of the room and picked up a large plastic bowl, then threw small pieces of paper at Lora as she got out of the car as if she was sprinkling flowers on a princess who had just gotten off a carriage."Welcome back here, Princess Lora. The belle of the ball."
There are many types of people. Some people only focus on the facts, and some people keep searching for something because they are not satisfied. Some people do things differently.In this life, some humans want power. That's why it became something that sometimes didn't make sense, especially focusing on the hidden treasure. they had been doing this for more than 25 years because they believed the Carter family was hiding something. After all, the Carter family had tremendous wealth."We'll go here." The person in the secret society in the center of the small hut gave directions while the others nodded."We will be at points A and B. Make sure the others are at the designated points." The order became the centerpiece of the discussion. Everyone nodded in understanding and immediately carried out the order.They searched and studied the Carter family's data secretly to be able to rival the Carter family, such as wealth and other fields; in the end, they found out if it was related to
Everyone watching was shocked. They all widened their eyes, unable to believe the masked man could finally be taken down and even hit the wall. Of course, this was Black Pearl's first defeat by a novice fighter."He... managed to defeat the champion." People began to whisper, stunned in disbelief at what they were seeing.Amazed by what he saw, the host was speechless because he initially thought Julian would lose."No way. Even though he almost won earlier, he lost to the new guy." Complaints from black pearl supporters began to complain about their confidence in voting for the man."The champion who has won consecutive arena battles is now limping. He's been using a weapon, and that sword is very sharp." People started talking about Black Pearl's defeat.All the admiration and cries of disbelief uttered by the bidders made Black Pearl look down in shame, wringing his hands tightly."Ah, damn it!" The other man looked frustrated as he grabbed his hair and shouted loudly. "I have noth
The match started again. His time in the fight was a little different than before. suddenly, two weapons were lowered from the stage, making everyone surprised to see that."Okay, this time, the match will be made even more challenging because we already have a winner, and the winner wants the match once again, so we will make the fight even more interesting to end the night." The host explained the rules and the different fights.Everyone who participated in the auction became increasingly interested and increased their bets, which made the event organizers even happier."There are swords and baseball bats here." The host headed towards the two weapons that had just been lowered onto the stage. Alright, we'll have a vote on who gets the sharp or blunt weapon."Another person brought two numbers written on paper. The paper was folded properly, and no one knew which number Julian and the person he challenged would choose. The paper was shuffled so that no one knew where it was until th
Suddenly, it made Julian the center of attention of the others, and the people there immediately moved to support him. "Wow, he's really very good. I want to vote for him this time." The comment of one of the auction participants made the other people choose the same thing. They immediately spent money and wanted to fight again to choose Julian, who was called the Black Knight of Steel. "But he's an emissary of a nameless person and he said his emissary was after the goods in this place."The people around him who heard that looked at each other with frowns on their foreheads, wondering what the nameless person wanted and what items in this auction site had caught his attention."What kind of items is he after?" one of the men with a thick mustache asked, casting his eyes toward the items being auctioned in front of the stage."There are many items here and not just one, there are many items that are indeed valuable That's why we are conducting the auction to get a fair price." The
More participants gathered at the venue to participate in the auction, and the fighters who were going to participate in the auction also stood behind the stage in an orderly manner to fight in the order in which they registered. The system and rules at the auction site required everyone who participated in the auction to send people who could possibly win the fight. The winner of the battle would have the advantage of being able to auction off the first item they wanted. Of course, it would have superior rights compared to others.It could be said to have more exclusive buyer's rights. Even if there were people who offered a higher price than the winner in this match, the money could not be used to buy the item at all because the rights were held by the winner, and the winner was free to buy or sell the item he got from this auction event."Well, everyone has gathered, and the participants in the battle are also here. The battle is about to begin." The host on the stage signalled to
Julian finally arrived at the town of Mardlin, where the Widow Family was. He strolled through the area and oversaw everything.Several shops were crowded with people and dominated by men. The men were dressed quite messily, with half-unbuttoned shirts and dishevelled hair. They also had a very pungent smell coming from their mouths as they shouted and talked."You're cheating again. If we couldn't divide it evenly, we should have taken all the money in the shop." One of the men looked so proud, counting the money from robbing other people's shops.Julian frowned when he looked across the street, where a clothing store looked messy as if it had been robbed. Apparently, the men had taken money from the shop on the other side. Surprisingly, the people around seemed to be expected and ignored it.Julian saw that the clerk and the woman who owned the shop that was robbed seemed to be tidying up the mess that had occurred even from the look on their faces, not looking panicked or sad as if
Wanda looked at Julian, who was packing up his room. She leaned back against the doorway and stared at him coldly."It's so good to be you." He exhaled. "Today you'll also be doing a job."Julian grinned, full of confidence. "I'm a great man, so it's only natural that I work and become Master Lucas's confidant." He boasted proudly in front of Wanda. "You have to admit that."That made Wanda tilt her head, staring intently at Julian while snorting in annoyance. She felt jealous that Julian could get a job in the field while Lucas did not trust her to do the same job. She couldn't wait to fight and move her body again. However, Lucas did not allow him to come together with Julian."You've also got your own assignment, right?" Julian raised one eyebrow, remembering the task Lucas had given Wanda before returning to their country.When Lucas gave Wanda the assignment in the country of Bouzi, Wanda immediately did it quickly, even beyond the estimation that Lucas had predicted before. So s
Lucas stopped his dinner and looked at Lora. "I'm done." He held up a hand for Lora to wait. "Just continue eating without me."Lora just nodded her head with a deep frown on her forehead. She was curious about what Chris was going to tell Lucas, but Lora was afraid that it would make Lucas uncomfortable because if Lucas finished his meal before she did and chose to leave, that meant it was something important.Chris bowed slightly before Lora, excusing himself from the dining room. He approached Lucas, handing him his tablet which contained an article with a photo that was quite shocking to Lucas."This is news that was published just a few seconds ago, Master." Chris zoomed in on the tablet screen.Lucas saw a large scroll and a familiar logo. There was an heirloom related to his family. It was most likely the Carter family treasure that had been talked about for generations."Widow's family got it from the excavation." Chris opened another article that stated the location of the ex
Applause filled the grand ballroom. Lucas stepped onto the stage and accepted the award presented by President Marshall, which consisted of a plaque and a small trophy made of 24-carat gold and diamonds, shaped like the country's coat of arms and bearing Lucas Carter's name.President Marshall extended his hand to Lucas. "Congratulations and thank you for all that you have done for our country."Lucas accepted President Marshall's hand. He came down from the stage, and after receiving the award, many important people approached him and hugged him proudly."Congratulations on your award and you deserve it." One of the country's important guests also greeted Lucas."You are indeed a hero of our country and I heard that you are also a hero in Bouzi." The rest of you also complimented Lucas."No, I'm just doing what I can to help others." Lucas responded humbly to all the praise he received.Other compliments and congratulations followed. He returned to Lora, who was waiting for him with
