"Of course not. It's just that I should pay back my debts as well."
"You too understand this policy?" Reid held the cup in his hand and said, "It seems that you are not stupid after all."
Lothar laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Perry, you've already got your men to come beat me up. I didn't call the police either. I will surely return you the money. I know that it's more than easy for you to kill me. So please, have mercy on me, just let me off this time so you wouldn't have to get blood on your hands."
Ever since Lothar's mother passed away, he had taken on the responsibility of taking care of the family. He had to take care of his sick sister. Hence, in order to survive in the society, he had learnt to speak so.
"I don't intend to do anything to you," Reid looked at Lothar sinisterly.
Lothar's eyes lit up for a moment.
"Your house is too damaged. How about I give you a bigger one? You can just choose any nice place in Agaphen City that you fancy. However big you want it to be, I'll give it to you."
The gleam in Lothar's eyes instantly faded away.
He immediately got nervous and said, "Mr. Perry, you don't have to do that. I don't deserve such blessings from you. I know how poor I am."
Reid's eyes became more and more gloomy, "Lothar, are you sure that you don't want it?"
"I don't want it."
"Bam!"
Reid suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand on to the ground.
The shards of glass and the hot tea splashed onto Lothar's feet.
As a result, Lothar's feet swelled and became red immediately.
It was so painful that his heart ached.
But he still forced himself to on a smiley face, "Mr. Perry, it's a pity that your tea is spilt. Do you want me to pour you another cup?"
Reid stood up.
He stared right into Lothar's eyes and said, "Lothar, I can see that you have a glib tongue. It's not like you don't understand anything at all. As long as you stay by my side, you'll be able to get anything you want, and you don't have to live in such a small house. Why are you being so
stubborn?"
Lothar did not say a word.
"Is it because of Selina?" Reid added, "What can she give you? If she can give you money, you wouldn't have to live here anymore. For the sake of your feelings? Will Selina fall for such a man like you?"
Lothar's heart felt as if it had been pricked by needles.
"I am nothing but worthless. I definitely don't deserve a lady like her. But we are friends, and I will not ever do anything that might bring harm to her anymore!"
Reid burst out laughing.
His laughter was cold.
"Friends?" Reid said in a peculiar tone, "Did I hear it wrong? Your house is not even bigger than a bathroom in her house, how could you be friends with her? Stop dreaming, you're not even worthy to be her pet dog!"
Lothar's eyes turned slightly red.
He couldn't suppress his emotions anymore and he glared at Reid.
Reid stared into Lothar's eyes, "What? You've finally decided to reveal your true colors to me? Lothar, you'll be courting death if you still refuse my offer even after I personally came to look for you."
He paused for a bit before lowering his voice, "I heard that you have a beautiful sister?"
Lothar froze immediately on the spot.
He grabbed onto Reid's collar directly, "What are you trying to do?"
Reid pushed away Lothar's fingers in disgust and cried, "I'm warning you not to touch me again, or I'll chop your hands off!"
Lothar was breathing heavily.
"If you dare do anything to Yesseca, I'll kill you! I'll be sure to kill you!"
Reid didn't take Lothar's words seriously at all.
"It's really unnecessary for us to fight and kill. There is a bright journey ahead of you. To embark on it or not is your choice," Reid gave Lothar a deep look, "Since we were acquaintances back then, I'll give you three more days to think about it. I'll come to you again three days later. As long as you make the right decision, I'll guarantee that you'll live a wealthy and comfortable life."
