“My father is in charge of all the construction projects in the Holy City! Now that all the workers have quit, my family has to cancel the contract! The termination fees is 30 billion federal coins!”
“My family's food distribution company used to enjoy an endless supply of customers! However, business has plummeted since your brother's stunt! I demand 30 billion federal coins in compensation!”
“A magistrate died in the incident! It was my uncle! How will our family get any benefits from the federal court in the future? I demand 50 billion coins in compensation!”
“I'm the only male left in the family! You must pay for each family member I lost! I require payment of 70 billion federal coins!”
“And my son and his pet, 20 billion…”
“And my family…”
“And the accounts of the Kane family…”
They were demanding payment for dead pets as well. This was not longer a negotiation, it was basically an extortion!
These nobles were just robbers in fancy clothing!
However, Adrian had no other choice. His sister was his only remaining family member, and he needed to protect her!
Under the threat of the nobles, Adrian signed compensation agreements one after another.
It had cost him over 200 billion federal coins!
He had sold off many of the White family's assets!
In the blink of an eye, the White family, which was once the top noble family in the Holy City and was one of the wealthiest family within the Federation, had sunken into the abyss!
The uninvited “guests” looked at the agreements in their hands and burst into laughter. They immediately headed to the federal court, in hopes that they would be able cash in their earnings!
“There's no need to worry, Alice… We have enough money to live the rest of ours lives in peace…” Adrian did not receive a grateful reply for his comforting reply, and instead, he had received a heavy slap!
“Smack!”
Alice's eyes were burning with anger as she shouted, “Coward! How can you think about our wealth at this time! We must take revenge! For our father, for our brothers, and for the White family!!”
“Locke!! I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR I'll KILL YOU!” A shrill cry echoed in the empty castle!
A person who was within the vicinity of the White family's castle dug his ears and complained, “Dammit! Who's shouting so loudly? How rude of them!”
Alice was just about to seek the help of the judges in the federal court, when suddenly, the person she had just cursed out loud had appeared at her front door!
“Hmm… What's your name again?”
Worse still, the enemy in front of her did not even remember her name!
Her humiliation and rage conflicted with one another, and she was at a loss at what to do!
'Should I go up and challenge Locke to a fight to the death?'
'No, that's stupid!'
'This was the guy who executed my brothers!'
'Plus, I've already lost my Battle Beasts!'
Alice was driven insane by Locke's smug expression!
In the end, fear still overcame her other emotions.
She turned around and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Adrian! Come out quickly! Save me!”
Worried that something had happened to his sister, Adrian spun his wheelchair's wheels as fast as he could to reach Alice.
“You!!” However, upon arriving at the scene, Adrian was so terrified that he fell onto the ground together with his wheelchair!
If such an incident had occurred under normal circumstances, the passersby would definitely come to Adrian's aid.
However, the White family had committed grave sins, and there was not a single citizen in the Holy City who did not despise them!
The passerby's eyes were cold. They had turned a blind eye to his plight and they just walked past him!
“Your name is easy to remember. Say, Adrian, how about we settle the score once and for all, huh?” Locke squatted down and asked with a fake smile.
Adrian looked as if he had seen a demon. His entire body trembled and his eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Settle the score? Settle what score?”
Alice was even more cowardly. She was unable to withstand Locke's presence and she had already fainted on the grass!
“Don't you feel guilty at all? You hired so many people to conspire against me! I could not even sleep well during that period! My life was constantly in danger, you know?! Don't you think that I deserve compensation?”
Those were blatant lies on Locke's part.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this was the best excuse that he was able to come up with!
He knew that the White family was rich, and as such, he wanted a cut of their riches!
Had Locke's parents learned about this, they would have persuaded him to forgive the White family.
However, forgiving was contradictory to Locke's character!
The word “forgive”, simply did not exist within his dictionary!
Moreover, the White family was constantly out to get him, and they had even gone as far as to take his life!
They deserved it!
Locke felt that Principal Hobrick would support him in his endeavor had he not fainted.
Upon this thought, Locke's confidence grew even more.
With a razor sharp gaze, Locke stated, “Think carefully before you speak your next sentence. Otherwise, you might never speak again in the future…”
Adrian's head was covered in sweat and he constantly trembled while he cursed Locke mentally, “Bandit! Hoodlum! Scoundrel! Locke, you despicable b*stard! You'll pay for this!”
Adrian's heart was filled with rage, but fear had penetrated deep into his bones!
“Please… Please try to remember that we used to be classmates. Don't hurt me. If you want money, then I can give it to you… How much do you want? Tell me…” Adrian was certain that he had answered correctly.
Locke snapped his fingers, indicating that Adrian's answer was correct!
Adrian heaved a sigh of relief.
“How about this? Since you say we're classmates, then I guess it's okay for me to ask for more, right?”
Following that, Locke stretched out a finger. However, he suddenly regretted it! He stretched out another finger!
Looking at this posture, Adrian swallowed his saliva and said, “20 million? I agree! This is enough for many ordinary families to live their lives…”
Locke shook his head, still maintaining a smile.
“Th-Then 200 million?” Adrian felt that Locke was too greedy. He was no different from a robber!
This answer made Locke unhappy. He immediately frowned, “This will be your third attempt. Let me warn you beforehand, you won't get a fourth chance…”
Two billion?!
After compensating all the nobles, Adrian only had a little over two billion coins left in his family's coffers!
Adrian did not expect Locke's demand to be that precise!
Looking at Locke's “sincere” smile, Adrian realized that in order for him and Alice to live a carefree life, he would need to sell the treasures within the castle.
“I also want the skill tomes on the Beast Fusion technique…”
Seeing that the other party was nodding with a blank expression, Locke stood up happily.
“Let's go! I've already drafted the contract!”
With his body's strength enhanced by Stage 2 Body Tempering, Locke picked up Adrian from the ground like a little chick, and waltzed directly into the castle!
