Chapter 440 Rodneys words made the skilled fighters behind him burst into raucous laughter.

The students stopped their practice to stare at Lauren with strange expressions.

Rodney, I told you years ago that I wasnt interested in you, Lauren said calmly, showing no sign of anger

Your persistent pursuit might be romantic to some, but even if you offered me the entire Madblade Martial Academy, I wouldnt give you a second glance.

Rodneys face darkened immediately.

He had tried to embarrass Lauren, but her sharp tongue had turned the tables on him instead.

A hulking man beside Rodney sneered, Ms.

Rhodes, if youre going to reject Mr.

Sanford, why are you even here? For our money, Lauren replied curtly.

Dean scoffed

Atlas owed Rhodes Corporation money, not me.

If hell

I want it, go ask him in Lauren smirked

Atlas may be dead, but not all Northern Districts people are gone.

I know you cleaned out Atlass accounts

Dean, are you really going to pretend you dont owe us? Dean laughed arrogantly, glancing at Rodney for approval before continuing.

Youre right, Lauren

I do have all of Northern Districts money now.

But why should I give it to you? Whe have you ever heard of someone from the underground voluntarily paying their debts? Go home, Lauren

That 60 million from Rhodes Corporation? Sorry, but youre not getting it back.

Think carefully, Lauren warned icily.

Youre just a stray.

Who are you to steal from Rhodes Corporation? Dean retorted, Before, I wouldnt have dared take money from the Rhodes family.

But Im no stray anymore Im Mr.

Sanfords man now.

You might look down on me, but do you dare disrespect Mr.

Sanford? Laurens expression changed slightly.

Dean was cunning, deliberately shifting the conflict toward Madblade Martial Academy.

However, she was not one to be intimidated so easily.

Jerry, she commanded sharply, since this dog wont behave, teach him a lesson ! Jerry stepped forward with a blank expression.

Dean, do as Ms.

Rhodes says, or III beat you to a pulp.noveldrama

Jerry, dont try that intimidation routine with me, Dean snarled

Were both martial artists, but youre the real dog here a spineless guard dog for the wealthy elite.

Who do you think you are to lecture me? Jerrys face turned sinister.

Since youre asking for death, III grant your wish.

I was going to let you live, but now Ill send you to join Atlas !
