Chapter 140: How much to beat the shit out of you

"Another random guy!." David sighed and clicked on the fourth option, deciding to choose next time.

"Look at him. He clearly doesn't have the money to pay upfront. That's why he isn't speaking up," Rin Morgan said after she found David staring into empty air with a dazed expression on his face.

A frown automatically appeared on David's face when he heard the girl's words.

Even Nemo was looking at David with a difficult expression on his face. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't interested in the deal.

He would any day choose to rent the building to an established family in the city over a random young man.

"Ahem! Mr. David, I can show you better C-Grade buildings if you want," Nemo suddenly turned his head toward David and spoke with a smiling face.

Hearing Nemo, a smile of victory appeared on Rin's face, while the young man just shrugged his shoulders and coldly snorted as if he had expected such an outcome beforehand.

David looked at Nemo with a plain expression and, without saying anything, he nodded and turned his head back to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head back and said, "Mr. Nemo, I will remember today's incident and will also make sure that you don't forget it either."

Although David's voice was without any emotion, as if he was muttering those words to himself, these words sent a chill running down Neom' spine.

After hearing those words, Nemo only smiled and didn't take David's words to heart. He could understand David's reaction. If someone had done the same to him, his reaction might have been even more intense.

After saying those words, David didn't want to stay at this place any longer and turned to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, the young man who had kept quiet all this time spoke, "Hold up! Are you threatening Mr. Nemo right in front of me, a Law and Order officer?"

"And I will just allow you to leave like this?" The young man grinned and said while turning towards David.

The Morgan woman tried to stop him, but he just shook her hand away.

It looked like David's attitude had really pissed him off.

"Mr. I-don't-know-your-name, you will have to come with me to the nearest Law and Order office and pay the required fine."

Lucas grinned and looked at Rin standing some distance away from the corner of his eyes.

Today he had finally gotten the chance to impress a young miss from the Morgan family. He was not going to miss it at any cost.

Lucas was someone who had recently managed to join the prestigious Law and Order department responsible for maintaining order in Nightblade city.

That was an impressive feat, as the minimum requirement to join the Law and Order department was to have Golden Core realm cultivation.

And you still have to clear one exam as well, that lasts for almost a year.

But all the hard work was worth it, and the pay was decent as well.

Today he was tasked here to guard this young lady from the Morgan family. Lucas realized this was his chance.

If he managed to win the heart of this young lady, his life would be set.

Of course, David wasn't aware of Lucas's internal thoughts, or he would have laughed out loud.

"Fine! You say, but for what?" David looked at Lucas deep in the eye and smiled, his smile a little strange.

Nightblade City was indeed weird; they used a weird fine for most of the crimes committed in the city.

David had heard about it from someone one morning while having his breakfast in the Inn. Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r

You can even get away with murder if you have enough money. It was as if the city wasn't even trying to stop the crimes.

It looked as if they were encouraging people to commit crimes and pay a hefty fine later on.

At David's words, Lucas smiled and flicked his wrist. In the next moment, a thick book with a blue cover appeared in his hands.

"According to section 4.7 of the Nightblade penal code, threatening someone is a cognizable offense with a punishment of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Rin Morgan looked at this scene with an annoyed expression on her face, not expecting the officer to waste so much of her time here.

However, suddenly her eyes flashed with interest; she found an interesting thing.

She couldn't tell the young man's cultivation.

"Interesting!" She muttered under her breath and walked close to both of them to get a better feel.

Lucas, who was keeping an eye on her, suddenly broke out in a wide smile, thinking his plan was finally working.

He became even more excited.

"Oh! You really seem well-versed in the laws. Can you tell me how much I will have to pay to beat the shit out of you?"

David innocently smiled and looked at the book in Lucas 's hands with curiosity.

"500,000 spirit stones,"Lucas subconsciously answered. Mid-way, he seemed to have understood, and his facial expression turned ugly.

Neom, who was watching the scene seriously, almost fell to the ground in shock.

Even the serious-faced Rin giggled at David's words.

"What did you say, bastard?" Lucas turned even more furious, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.

David was already super annoyed, so without answering his question, he directly launched a punch precisely aimed at Lucas's face.

This simple action of his caused the air around his fist to ripple like a chaotic lake.

Not just that, even the formation below his feet seemed to light up as it noticed his sudden actions.

Before Lucas even realized it, the fist was upon his face, and in the next moment, he was blasted backwards like a broken doll.

It was only after Lucas struck the beautiful violet wall of the B-grade Building that he stopped.

Rin Morgan's beautiful eyes were wide open in surprise, and a hand was on her little mouth to hide her shock.

Neom, on the other hand, rubbed his eyes twice to confirm the scene before his eyes.

"What did you do, Mr. David? How can you raise your hands on someone from the Law and Order department?" After the momentary shock, Neom shouted and rushed towards the unconscious Neom with a panicked expression.

He wanted to cry, but no tears came out of his eyes.

"Oh no! He is seriously injured," Neom shouted as he turned Neom's body around.

Due to the sheer force of the punch, Lucas's face had caved inwards as if it had been struck by a hammer. Blood was flowing out of his broken teeth, and his nose had been completely destroyed.

"Mr. David, hurry up and take him to the hospital, or else the consequences would be unimaginable," Neom spoke in a serious voice. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He was panicking inside; all the joy that he had felt before had vanished like a puff of smoke. He was bound to get implicated in this situation and suffer the wrath of the Law and Order department.

David, however, didn't seem to care about Neom' words and prepared to walk away from the scene.

Although Lucas's condition looked serious, all of these were, in reality, minor injuries. A Golden Core Realm expert's vitality should not be underestimated; he should be completely fine in a few hours.

After watching David's disinterest, Neom' expression turned livid in frustration. "Mr. David, you..."

After saying those words, he picked up the unconscious Lucas from the ground and rushed towards the nearest hospital.

David didn't even bother looking back at the human ambulance; he continued to walk away as if he wasn't the one who had punched Lucas a moment ago.

"Mr. David, wait." Rin also ignored the duo and rushed towards David.

Hearing the feminine voice from behind, David stopped and turned his head back.

"What do you want?" His voice sounded slightly annoyed. If it wasn't for this girl, he would have already gotten this building, and the drama could have been ignored.

"Mr. David, I am really sorry for the inconvenience, but I really need this building. If you want, I will show you a C-grade building that will not lose out to any B-grade building," Rin Morgan tried to act polite.

David raised an eyebrow after hearing her words; she sounded genuine.

So he just nodded and followed her along.

At this time, both of them seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident a moment ago.

David silently walked with Rin Morgan ahead of him.

"He is really weird," Rin looked at David from the corner of her eyes and commented in her head.

Even after getting so close to him, she failed to distinguish his cultivation level.

If such words were to reach the Family Head's ears, she would surely spit blood in anger.

A Morgan who couldn't even tell a person's cultivation was not a Morgan.

After taking a couple of twists and turns, she finally stopped in front of a one-story tall building with walls made out of gold.

"Oh! Little Sister, you're finally here," Suddenly, a young man in his late twenties rushed out of the building while speaking loudly in excitement.
