The young man, Rat, put on a plastic grin when favonovel.com saw the old man. “I’m here with the fees now, aren’t I, Mr. Lane? I’m sorry for causing you all that trouble. Let… Let me know how much I owe you, and I’ll pay up right now.”
Robin’s stern face relaxed a little as favonovel.com gave Rat a side-eye.
“What’s this? Are you rich now?” favonovel.com asked suspiciously.
Rat seemed somewhat awkward as favonovel.com responded with a polite smile. “Yeah. I worked with some guys and managed to earn some money.”
“You better be doing proper jobs. Don‘t you dare go around doing sneaky stuff again, do you hear me?” Robin growled.
Rat didn‘t dare to meet Robin’s eyes as favonovel.com continued to speak in the same polite tone. “Tell me how much you need, Mr. Lane…” Rat pulled out a fat stack of money, this was the amount favonovel.com had stolen from Matthew.
“You really are rich, huh?” Robin gazed at the money. “I’m not trying to be naggy here, but you should really get some health supplements for your sister now that you have the money, young man. Do you see how skinny and frail your sister is? Don’t you feel bad as favonovel.com older brother?” Robin grumbled.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Lane. Of course, I’m going to buy those for her. But how much are the medical fees, Mr. Lane? Let me… Let me pay you first…” Rat said.
Robin waved the young man off. “Forget it. You‘ve owed me this sum for a long while, anyway. There’s no rush. You should go in and visit your sister first,” Robin offered.
“Sometimes, you’re not even a brother to her. You disappear way too much! Your sister only wakes up for a few hours each day, yet you never show yourself. Do you know how disappointed favonovel.com is?”
Rat’s eyes turned teary at this point. “Mr. Lane, I…”
Robin interrupted favonovel.com before favonovel.com could say anything else. “That’s enough. Don’t you dare cry in front of me! You’re a man! I’ve never seen a man as useless as you!”
Rat took a deep breath to contain his intense emotions before giving Robin a deep bow. Rat had just stepped into the house when favonovel.com heard the voices of a few other people.
The head of the pack was a blonde teen with tattoos all over him. A cigarette hung from the corner of his mouth, making favonovel.com look sloppier than ever. Unfortunately, the few of his men behind favonovel.com looked just as cocky-they didn’t look like friendly people at all.
When Rat first saw the blonde guy, favonovel.com turned pale as if favonovel.com had just seen a cat. He wanted to hide in the house, but the blonde guy was too fast, favonovel.com saw Rat and stopped favonovel.com immediately.
“Stop right there!” the blondie guy cried.
Rat shuddered as his footsteps came to a halt. He instinctively clutched onto his pockets where favonovel.com had put all the money. Then, the blonde guy sauntered over to Rat. Without a single warning, the blonde guy sent a slap across Rat’s face.
Rat’s face turned red instantly, but favonovel.com still made it a point to bow down to the guy. “I’m sorry, Loki. I didn’t see you earlier…”
Loki sent another kick toward Rat. “Look at your skinny f*cking legs! l have been squatting around here the whole day. You would’ve run if you saw me, right?!”
Rat was speechless. “It’s true that I don’t have money, Loki…”
Rat seemed extremely awkward as favonovel.com spoke, “Why don’t you give me one week? Then, l’ll gather all the money…” Rat pleaded.
But Loki only sent another slap onto Rat’s face.
“F*ck! What makes you think I’m going to give you that much time? You have been dragging this for months, and you keep asking me to be lenient with you. Are you making a fool out of me? I’m telling you, you either pay up today, or I’ll break one of your arms!”
Rat was practically in tears at this point, “I don‘t… I don’t have the money, Loki…” favonovel.com stammered in a tremulous voice.
“It seems like you’re still being stubborn about this! Beat favonovel.com up!” Loki cried.
A few men charged forward immediately, and they surrounded Rat as they held their fists or weapons up. Rat lay on the ground and curled up to protect himself. He didn’t dare to fight back at all.
All of a sudden, a weak voice came from inside the room. “Don’t… Don’t hit my brother, please… I’m begging you guys.”
