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


    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 Madde Martial Academy , I wouldnt give you a second nce .


    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 .


    As owed Rhodes Corporation money , not me .


    If hell .


    I want it , go ask him in Lauren smirked .


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


    I know you cleaned out Ass ounts .


    Dean , are you really going to pretend you dont owe us ? Deanughed arrogantly , ncing 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 Madde Martial Academy .


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


    Jerry , shemanded sharply , since this dog wont behave , teach him a lesson ! Jerry stepped forward with a nk expression .


    Dean , do as Ms.


    Rhodes says , or Ill beat you to a pulp .


    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 , Ill grant your wish .


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