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 .
