Rylee puffed up her cheeks and screamed regardless, “What the hell is wrong with you, old man.
You’re as assiduous as a school counsellor, but you are not satisfied with my apologies. Don’t you just
want to kill me? Then come on! Come on! Do it!”
Rylee shouted, even tilting her head towards Timothy as if calling him to chop her head off.
Timothy couldn’t help but laugh out.
Before he could speak, Rylee suddenly jumped up and stomped Timothy’s shoe, then raised her arm to
hit Timothy on the chin. After that, she turned around and ran away like a squirrel.
She panicked as she ran away.
Rylee was running in the direction of Armand.
Kenneth widened his eyes in disbelief.
Gosh, what had he just seen? The greatest warrior, Timothy Wheeler, had taken a beating?
Who was Timothy?
He was a warrior with extraordinary powers!
He could even take out dozens of special forces soldiers with his bare hands!
Had that naive girl just beaten up Timothy just now?
“Hey! Damn girl! You, uppity brat! Do you know who you hit? You want your ancestors to get killed?”
Kenneth shouted behind Rylee.
“Her ancestors have long died.” Timothy corrected Kenneth with a smirk.
Kenneth froze, “You’re right.”
Only after saying that did he think of another problem and shouted over to Armand, “Armand! Stop that
brat! Get her!”
The girl was running in the direction of Armand.
Armand was just about to make his move, but he saw Timothy raise his right hand to keep him from
moving. So, Armand pretended to be a passer-by again and watched Rylee ran past him.
“Hey! Boss! What’s wrong with you! Why didn’t you let Armand catch her? Why let her go?” Kenneth
was so anxious that he was stamping his feet and scratching his head.
When he looked up at the tall and powerful Timothy, he saw that the boss had a slight smile on his
face.
‘No way! Is the boss smiling?’
Timothy narrowed his eyes, looking at the fading figure of Rylee, gently opened his mouth, “She looks
like a middle school student.”
“Oh… What? Boss, what did you just say?”
Kenneth picked his ears and looked askance at Timothy.
Only then Timothy turned to look at Kenneth, flicked his index finger at Kenneth’s forehead and said,
“Will you die if you don’t speak?”
Kenneth looked aggrieved, “Boss, I haven’t even spoken at this point. It’s only you nagging with that
brat.”
Timothy no longer looked at Kenneth, walked towards Armand and ordered faintly, “Take the vehicle to
repair.”
…
“Of course it needs to be fixed! The Bugatti is still new and it’s like this now. That little brat is so
damned! I’ll make sure to squeeze her family to fix the car if I find out who she is!”
Kenneth babbled as he followed Timothy.
Timothy corrected him as he walked, “Not the Bugatti. It’s the mountain bike to take to be fixed.”
“Oh… ah? Why! Why would that brat’s shitty car need to be repaired? Is it worth it? It’s just a bunch of
junk! It’s not even enough to pay for the time it takes to fix it!”
Timothy stopped talking to Kenneth.
Kenneth thought about it with a frown on his face. He suddenly took a few quick steps to stop Timothy,
“Boss! Let me ask you, you could have dodged that brat’s kick and punch. Why did you let her get
away with it?”
Timothy looked at Kenneth seriously and replied to him earnestly, “I’m happy to do so!”
After saying that, he bumped Kenneth’s shoulder and continued to stride forward.
Armand had already opened the car door and was waiting respectfully for the boss to get in.
Kenneth scratched his head and shouted unsatisfactorily, “But why, boss? Why did you let that brat get
away with it? There has to be a reason, right? Is there a reason, boss?”
Snap! Armand taped a piece of transparent tape over Kenneth’s mouth, “Boss ordered you not to
speak or make a sound for an hour.”
“Uhhhh…” Kenneth waved his hands in great anger.
…
Rylee ran out far away in one go, better than her best time when she participated in the rally.
After running several blocks, she made sure there were no catchers behind her, and only then did
Rylee dare to stop, patting her chest and panting heavily.
“Luckily that I’m smart and skilful, otherwise I would be dead for sure this time… Whoo, so tired.”
Rylee found a stool to sit down, fanning herself with her hand. Her legs were almost cramping for such
an escape this time.
Bugatti!
That was a Bugatti!
Even the money for one of its wheels was an astronomical figure!
If she had a Bugatti and any guy touched it a little, she would probably be mad enough to kill that
person.
Rylee wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and let out a long sigh.
She cocked her head in thought and wondered again.
Even beautiful than a woman, that old man didn’t look mean, but why was she so scared when she saw
him?
After thinking about it, Rylee finally realised it. Perhaps the kind of brutality on that old man was the so-
called aura.
…
Pfft.
The mouthful of wine in Manfred Shawn’s mouth spurted out.
“What did you say? Old man? You said the thing you’re torn about is that girl calling you old man?
Hahaha…”
Manfred stared at Timothy incredulously, “Timothy, you don’t look like this kind of person. You’re not the
kind of person who cares about what others think of you. Even if someone called you gramps, you
wouldn’t bother about it. But why do you mind so much when this girl calls you old man?”
No matter how many people scolded Timothy for his cruelty, he never took it seriously and just did what
he had to do.
…
“Timothy, you don’t look like this kind of person. You’re not the kind of person who cares about what
others think of you. Even if someone called you gramps, you wouldn’t bother about it. But why do you
mind so much when this girl calls you old man?”
Timothy’s slender fingers played with his wine glass and lowered his eyes, “I’m only twenty-six, am I
very old?”
How odious that girl stubbornly called him an old man.
Thinking of the way Rylee spoke, Timothy lifted his glass and finished the wine in one gulp.
Manfred smiled gently, “Timothy, what you mind is not how she called you, right? But that girl’s
perception of you.”
Timothy didn’t reply but merely raised his eyebrow and finished a glass of wine again.
Timothy was cold by nature, unlike Manfred, who was always so polite and gentle. Timothy rarely
smiled and was naturally cold.
Manfred glanced at Timothy and took the initiative to change the conversation, “Are you going to my
sister’s wedding?”
“When is it?”
“This Saturday, man! Didn’t I tell you a long time ago? I can’t believe you didn’t take it to heart.”
“Alright, I’ll try to go.”
Timothy grabbed the dart on the table and threw it as he turned around.
The dart went firmly into the bullseye of the dartboard seven metres away.
Manfred raised his brow, took a dart and threw it too.
The dart was right next to the one Timothy had just thrown, almost at the bullseye too.
Manfred joked, “Look, if you hadn’t taken the bullseye first, I wouldn’t have struck outside the centre.”
“Not necessarily.”
Timothy said that succinctly and threw three darts consecutively as if he was just playing.
Armand sat at a distance couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
The three darts Timothy threw after him all hit the bullseye, all four of them close together.
Manfred couldn’t help but applaud admiringly, “Timothy, you’re always so damn tough.”
…
Rylee had lost her mountain bike, so she had to get a taxi to go back.
What a pain! She bought that mountain bike after working at a café for the summer. Just because she
bought that mountain bike, Joseph bought one too.
And now, Joseph’s mountain bike was still new, while hers was abandoned on the street by her…
The taxi suddenly stopped, startling Rylee.
“What’s wrong? Why did it stop suddenly?”
Rylee asked the driver irritably, rubbing her forehead.
She had just been in a daze, and her forehead had hit the front seat because of the sharp braking. It
really fucking hurt!
What a lousy day!
“Oops, young girl, I can’t give you a lift. The car’s water tank is empty. It will have a problem if I drive
any further! Get out of the car and I don’t want your money either. I have to call a tow truck now. I really
don’t dare to drive anymore.”
“Huh? Seriously?” Rylee widened her eyes in disbelief, “What can I do stopping here?”
The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and got out of the car, “Sorry, young lady. I can’t help it. It
would be horrible if the car explodes.”
‘Explosion? How could it be that easy? You’re bluffing!’
Rylee pouted, reluctantly got out of the taxi and stood on the quiet rural road, sighing.
“What a bad day!”
…
‘What day is it today? I must check the calendar when I go back. It’s okay to be brave and run into a
dangerous old man, and it’s okay to lose the mountain bike too. But how come I have to be so unlucky
even when taking a taxi!’
Gosh, she had just run several kilometres in one go to escape from Timothy!
“It’s a bad time to go out today…”
Rylee shook her head while strolling on the rural road.
Why did the rich want to build their mansions in the suburbs?
It’s just a show-off!
The sun had already set, and the lush woods on the roadside looked so eerie.
