Chapter 431
As Charlie, his wife, and Loreen were bathing in the hot spring pool, Marcus, who had had the
words'' pathetic jerk’ engraved on his forehead and his stic girlfriend who now had a crooked
nose had hitched a ride in a dpidated van back to the city.
At this time, Marcus, who was sitting inside the van, kept his bloodied forehead covered out of fear
that the van driver would see the words engraved on his forehead. 4
Both of them had stopped the van on the way out of the Champs Elys Spa Resort. They had
negotiated with the van driver ande to an agreement that the van driver would send both of
them home for two hundred dors. Right now, all Marcus wanted was to get home as soon as
possible. He did not want any more trouble!
However, the van driver could see the blood that was oozing out of Marcus''s forehead from the
rearview mirror.
After observing him for a long time, he could not help but ask in surprise, "Young man, are you
hurt?"
Marcus replied angrily, "This has nothing to do with you! Just continue driving safely and stop
asking me s o much nonsense!”
The driver felt a little unhappy at this and said, "Do
you honestly think that I am worried about you?! I am only asking you because it seems as though
your forehead is bleeding continuously! I don''t want you to stain my car seats with your blood!" 1
As soon as Marcus heard the van driver’s words, he exploded and burst out immediately, "D*mn it,
you pathetic jerk! Your van is worth only about forty to fifty thousand dors at most! Are you really
afraid that I will dirty your pathetic van? You are ridiculous!" 5
Marcus was already used to using his catchphrase,'' pathetic jerk'', and it seemed as though he
would not b e able to kick this habit even if he had the words '' pathetic jerk’ engraved on his
forehead. This was the reason why it wasmonly known that it would be easy to reform a
country, but it would be almost impossible to change a human''s nature! 3
The van driver never expected to be scolded by a person who was hitching a ride in his van.
Therefore, he lost his temper and he blurted out immediately," Are you seriously uneducated?! How
can you possibly use such foulnguage!"
Marcus was so annoyed at this time that he felt as though he wanted to die. When he saw the angry
expression on the van driver''s face, he burst out recklessly, "D*mn it! Don''t you admit that you are
just a pathetic jerk? Who the f*ck do you think you are to talk to me in this manner? Do you believe
that I can get someone to take your pathetic life with just a single phone call?! No one would call
about a pathetic jerk like you even if you were to die today!" 5
The van driver was really very angry when he heard Marcus''s words. At this time, he was driving
through a n intersection in the city center when he saw a traffic police car parked on the corner of
the intersection as there were police officers on duty. The van driver quickly drove toward the police
car before he stepped out of the van and said, "Officer, there is a person who i s hitching a ride in
my van, and he just threatened to kill me. I suspect that he might be carrying some weapons on his
body. This is a serious threat to my safety!" 4

When the police officers heard this, they quickly stepped out of their car and surrounded the van.
After opening the back door, they shouted at Marcus and the stic face who was sitting inside the
van. "Put your hands up over your head and get out of the van immediately!"
Marcus then realized that he was in trouble.
This was the downtown area!
If he had to put his hands over his head to step out of the van, wouldn''t it be absolutely impossible
for him t o hide the fact that he had the words ''pathetic jerk'' engraved on his forehead?
Therefore, he made up his mind that he would never step out of the van, dead or alive! 3
Marcus then said to the police officer, "What are you doing? I''m just hitching a ride home, so how
am I bothering you in any way? Can you hurry up and ask the van driver toe back and drive me
home right now? Otherwise, I will not let him off!”
When the police officers saw how arrogant and domineering Marcus was, they knew that he was
definitely not a good man. Furthermore, the police officers could see Marcus covering his forehead
and the blood that was constantly oozing out of it. Thus, they could only assume that he had just
participated i n an aggressive fight involving weapons. This kind of person typically had a criminal
record, and most of them were fugitives. The police officers felt that if they were lucky, they would
be able to catch one of the fugitives today! 5
The police officers exchanged nces with one another before one of them took out the pepper
spray that was used by police officers forw enforcement purposes. After that, they said to Marcus,
"I am giving you onest warning. Put your hands over your head and step out of the van for
inspection purposes now. Otherwise, we have no choice but to deal with you in ordance with the
law!" 3
Marcus was extremely annoyed and blurted out, ”D*m n it! I know the captain of your team, Officer
Wiles! He i s a good friend of my dad. If you are not convinced, you can call him immediately and
ask if he knows Marcus, the son of the owner of the Lloyd Group!”
The police officer sneered before he said, "The son of the Lloyd Group? You are really good at
bragging! You are already hitching a ride in a van, and yet, you dare t o say that you are the son of
the Lloyd Group? Are you telling me that the Lloyd Group cannot afford to give you a car and you
have to hitch a ride in someone else''s van?" 1
Marcus really hated it when anyone doubted his identity and status. Moreover, he hated it whenever
anyone tried to talk back to him or taunt him. When h e saw the police officers ridiculing him, he
yelled immediately, "D*mn it! You are just a bunch of pathetic jerks, but you actually dare to doubt
my identity? Do you believe that I am going to call your captain right now?"
