Chapter 439 Inside Madde Martial Academy, hundreds of students were practicing martial arts with loud shouts.


    They barely nced at Lauren and Andrews group before turning away, disying obvious arrogance and dismissal


    Lauren was unfazed by their attitude.


    She exined, The students here are all from Jayrodales wealthy families.


    Most of them are spoiled rich kids who couldnt seed


    academically, so their families sent them here to learn martial arts.


    Over time, theyve developed quite a superiorityplex.


    Andrew did not mind.


    After all, it was natural for martial artists to have some attitude.


    Whether it was looking down on others or being arrogant, this kind of temperament came with this lifestyle.


    As long as they were not all talk and had no skill, he could tolerate their pride.


    A young man in casual clothes approached them with a smile, his paleplexion suggesting a life of extravagance


    He was nked by about four clearly skilled martial artists.


    As he passed the practicing students, they all shouted in unison, Mr.


    Sanford ! Please, skip the formalities.


    We wouldnt want to frighten our guests! Rodney Sanford, the heir of Madde Martial Academy, said with exaggerated ir


    He stopped in front of Lauren with a smile.


    Lauren, what a rare honor to have you visit our academy.


    To what do we owe this pleasure ? Mr.


    Sanford, please show some respect, Laurens face turned cold.


    Rodneys eyes roamed over Laurens figure as he licked his lips.


    I dont see anything inappropriate


    Everyone in Jayrodale knows I once pursued you.


    Since you acknowledge its in the past, lets keep it that way, Lauren said coldly.


    Ill be direct Im here with one request.


    Please hand over Dean Mayer


    Rhodes Corporation has some business to discuss with him.


    At these words, a tall, thin man with a darkplexion standing beside Rodney tensed visibly.


    Andrew nced at him, suspecting this was Dean, As senior and Northern Districts second -inmand.


    What do you want with Dean? Rodney frowned.


    Rhodes Corporation has an outstanding 60 million dor project payment with Northern District. We hope Mr.


    Mayer can settle this debt, Lauren stated bluntly.


    Rodney snapped his fingerszily.


    Dean, theyre here to collect money from you.


    The tanned faced elder stepped forward with a cold smile.


    Mr.


    Sanford is my master now.


    Asking me for money is like asking Mr.


    Sanford, and everyone knows he only collects debts- he never owes them! +26 BONUS Chapter 439


    Well said! Rodneyughed.


    Lauren, dear, you heard him.


    Dean is under my protection now.


    Asking him for money is like asking me for money


    His eyes gleamed with malice as he continued, Unless, of course, youre here to discuss a different kind of payment.


    Id empty my ounts if it meant having you as my bride.
