CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: APPETITE FOR MORE

"Who? Damn it! Who dares to hit me? Do you want to die?"

Lucas Hughes was heavily drunk, and being smacked onto the ground, he jumped up in anger.

"Me! I hit you!"

At this moment, a woman, more than 1.7 meters tall, fat and strong, and also drunk, stood up.

Lucas saw the woman in front of him and instinctively swallowed: "You! Why did you hit me? What did I do to you?"

"You did provoke me! Damn it, you think we big women are easy to bully, huh? I wonder which unlucky big woman, blind as a bat, married a piece of trash like you!"

"Being a big woman myself, I just wanted to vent! A scumbag like you, slapping you is already being lenient. What’s wrong? Not convinced, huh? Let’s step outside for a fair fight!"

"Don’t be fooled by the fact that I’m a woman, I grew up in a martial arts family. Even if I haven’t practiced in years, dealing with you is a piece of cake!"

The woman spoke as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to brawl.

The mention of a martial arts family made Noah Woods’ heart skip a beat as he stood on the side.

Fortunately, the woman’s friend quickly rushed over.

"Oh dear, I say granny, you really are something. Have you forgotten how many days you spent in the station last time after taking down a group of men? Still so impulsive! Let’s go, time to head back!"

"Sorry, my friend is drunk. She recently got divorced and is in a bad mood. Please bear with us!"

The woman’s friend kept apologizing, and Noah quickly responded, "It’s fine, it’s fine."

What else could he say? After all, they couldn’t really match up to her!

"Damn it! Men are really spoiled! Guys like that, if they can get divorced, we should thank Buddha with eight generations of incense!"

The woman kept mumbling as she left.

Lucas Hughes was completely sobered up now.

"Damn! What did I do to deserve this?"

But his face was indeed in bad shape, a slap from a martial arts family is no joke.

In less than a minute, his face swelled as if he had grown an extra face.

Harry King stood on the side watching all this, feeling somewhat relieved, but recalling Lucas Hughes’ words, he still frowned.

"Lucas, what you said was indeed a bit too much just now."

He chimed in after hearing Lucas Hughes swear.

"Really, Harry? Whose side are you on? If we didn’t know each other for so long, I’d almost think you’ve taken a liking to Chloe Simpson, otherwise why always take her side!"

Lucas Hughes, fueled by alcohol and the fresh slap he received, was burning with anger! Hearing Harry King say that, he snapped right back.

"Since you’ve put it like that, there’s no need for me to stay any longer."

Harry King clenched his fists, nodded heavily, and turned to leave.

However, after leaving Red Dust Alley and getting into his car, he just sat there and didn’t start the car for a long time.

He just sat at the driver’s seat, with Lucas Hughes’ words echoing endlessly in his ears.

Ha!

For some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of regret at that moment.

Back then, it was indeed he who first met Chloe Simpson.

Yet he always had a clear understanding of his position.

Though the King Family wasn’t exactly top-tier in Kyohai, they were noteworthy in the high society circle.

For families like theirs, marriage almost always equaled a business alliance.

Even if he wanted to be with Chloe Simpson, it would only be a fling.

He couldn’t marry her, nor defy his father or family.

But if he had known, even if Chloe being with him was just a non-marital fling, it would have been better than marrying Lucas Hughes, lacking joy for a lifetime and being passed around like an item.

At least, he took feelings seriously; even if it was just a fling, he wouldn’t have gone to other women while being with Chloe.

Also, unable to marry her in the end, he would definitely think of a way to compensate Chloe.

He could foresee that being with Chloe would mean pampering and doting on her.

Anything she wanted, as long as he could give it to her!

Even if it were stars in the sky, if he could get them, he would pluck them for her.

Since young, he navigated through various circles with his father, seeing all kinds of women.

Chloe Simpson was the only one who attracted him at first sight.

He couldn’t quite describe the feeling, but it was as though, although she seemed pure on the surface, she was someone who knew well the ways of the world and could drive a man crazy.

Yet, unexpectedly, she ended up with Lucas Hughes...

Thinking of all these, Harry tightly clenched his fists, the bones making a cracking sound.

He didn’t know how long had passed, but it felt like an eternity of inner struggle; finally, he made a major decision, abruptly opening his eyes.

He picked up the phone and made a call: "Young Mister Johnson, about the matter you mentioned tonight, I’ve decided to agree. But there’s one thing, I hope you will show mercy and at least spare his life."
