Rodney declared, “If my side loses, then you’ll get their 60 million, handed over without question. But if you lose, I don’t want anything else except…”
At this point, Rodney suddenly stopped, his eyes gleaming with Just as he licked his lips in an incredibly vulgar manner. Behind him, his martial arts students joined in with sleazy snickers.
Lauren felt goosebumps all over her body. She asked with disgust, “What do you want?”
Rodney smiled. “Don’t worry, my request isn’t too outrageous. I just want your stockings, Lauren. And specifically, the ones you’re wearing right now I want them while they’re still warm!
Then, he burst into laughter.
Lauren’s face turned slightly pale, clearly suppressing both rage and humiliation. She controlled her emotions well, though, and turned to look at Jerry.
Don’t worry, Miss. I can defeat these petty thugs with one hand tied behind my back,” Jerry
said coldly.
Lauren turned to Andrew, blushing slightly. “Dr. Lloyd, my stockings are only for you. So you better make sure we don’t lose.”
Andrew replied, “Don’t worry. We won’t lose while I’m here. Though you should keep your stockings on–I don’t share his peculiar tastes.”
Lauren let out a small huff and insisted, “No, if you win, they’re yours!”

my notice. Don’t worry, Miss. It’s time to put Magblade Martial Academy in its place. With Atlas dead and gone, there’s hardly anyone left in Jayrodale’s martial arts circle who I need to be wary of.”
Lauren remained silent, as she had always trusted Jerry’s abilities. After all, she was not the only one in Rhodes’s family who believed in Jerry–even Tiana knew how formidable he was. Dealing with Rodney and the other experts from Madblade Martial Academy should be no problem for Jerry, especially since the head of the school himself would not interfere.
“Ollie, you’re up first. Remember, show no mercy. I want to slap Rodney’s face and send a message to his father. I may have lost to him years ago, but now he’s aged while I’m in my prime. If we were to fight again, he wouldn’t stand a chance!”
