Chapter 78 I'm Engaged
"How dare you smash my car? Can you afford to pay for it?" Garpy's voice was loud to reach Jack's ears.
But, since he had destroyed his car, Jack had to return the favor. Although Garpy had only smashed the rear windshield, Jack was going to make sure that this car turned into nothing other than scrap metal that couldn't be repaired.
Bang! Crash! Smash! Boom!
With Jack's current strength, with the help of the fire extinguisher container, he easily turned the body of the Lamborghini into nothing but waste metal. Currently, it was almost flattened.
On the other hand, Garpy was hopping mad. Someone had just destroyed his car that was worth millions of dollars. If he didn't make him repay that with an interest, then he wasn't Garpy at all.
He took out his phone and made a call, "Hello, you guys get down here at this moment. There's a punk that doesn't know his place."
"We'll be there in a moment." A reply came from the other side before the call was ended.
Garpy looked at Jack who hadn't stopped even after the car's body had been flattened. He was already destroying the tires! Although Garpy could buy another car, it would surely affect the way that the family thought of him. In any case, he had only recently bought the car. If he bought another, they would think that he was misusing the money.
"Punk, you're not going to get out of here! Just you wait!" The girl with thick make-up shouted at Jack. She was enjoying moving around in such a cool sports car. Now that it had been destroyed, it was obvious that she could no longer enjoy it unless Garpy bought another car.
Not long after Jack finished his masterpiece, a group of around twenty youths rushed out of the elevator. All of them were young men wearing branded clothes.
They immediately rushed towards Jack's direction and surrounded him before they began sneering at him. "You sure have guts kid!"
"Do you know what you've done? We're going to make sure that you won't leave this place alive."
"To dare smash Garpy's new Lamborghini, I don't know if you're brave or an idiot."
Jack ignored the young masters that had surrounded him. If this was before he gained the professional combatant ability, he would surely be flustered being attacked by over a dozen people at the same time.
Nevertheless, at that time, although he was strong due to visiting the gym on a daily basis, there was no way that he could deal with these guys if they attacked him at the same time.
But now, even if they attacked him at the same time, considering the fact that most of them had weak physiques as they didn't train at all, Jack could beat them up without a problem.
So, he simply looked at the watch in his hand and saw that time was running. He still had to change his clothes before Edwin arrived. Otherwise, he would be late.
Thinking of this, he decided to leave. If they dared to try stopping him, he wouldn't mind teaching these brats a good lesson.
….
On the other hand, the elevator opened again. This time, over a dozen girls with exquisite make up on and branded clothes rushed out.
Looking at the far end of the parking lot, they saw the boys had surrounded someone and it seemed that a fight would start at any moment.
This group of youths came from the capital to have fun. They had decided to meet in Venture city before going to different other cities to enjoy the scenery.
They were supposed to meet up here and plan about what they were going to do. Now, they were just about to start discussing when Garpy told them that there was a person that had caused him problems.
As a group of friends, they would always stand for each other. So, they all rushed out of the suite that they had just gathered in.
Since the elevator was small and it couldn't fit all of them, they decided that men would go out first before girls followed them.
Amongst the girls that were heading to the scene, there was an absent minded girl. If Steve was here, he sure would have recognized her as the girl that had gone to Alfonso family for the engagement with Jack.
Currently, her thoughts were wondering around, wondering when she was going to meet Jack. She couldn't help but blush from time to time the moment that she thought about the marriage that was to occur a little over a year from now.
"Wendy, what's up with you today? You've been blushing since you came. Have you found a boyfriend or something?" A girl with her bangs blocking her left eye asked as they walked towards the scene.
"Ah? Oh, what were you saying?" Wendy looked at the girl but it was obvious from her question that she had been absent minded not long ago.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" The girl asked with raised brows.
"Ah, what are you talking about? You better stop spouting nonsense." Wendy blushed as she thought of Jack. She had met with Jack before and she happened to fall in love with him since a year ago.
She could remember how it was that day. She had gone to Crystal city together with this group of friends at that time just like what they were planning to do now.
At that time, she had a problem with her stomach. As a result, she had stayed in the washroom for a long period of time in that by the time that she came out, she found that her friends had already left.
*Flashback*
As she was leaving the restaurant, she was just about to cross the road to the other side where her friends were, when she was pulled back and she landed into a guy's chest.
The exact moment that she was pulled back, a car sped past. Had she not been pulled back in time, that car would surely have knocked her. With the speed that the car was being driven at, it would be a miracle of she managed to survive after the accident.
Although she was just about to lash out at the person that had pulled her back and made her land onto his chest, she was forced to swallow her words as her body shook the moment that she felt the breeze that came with the passing of the speeding car.
There was no need to ask about anything. She had just been saved from getting killed. After a few seconds, the person that had saved her held her shoulders as he pushed her back from his embrace.
She raised her head and looked at his face for the first time. She noticed that well carved face, those blue eyes and the unique short silver hair. This guy was so handsome.
"You better be careful when you're crossing the road next time." And with that, he left, not waiting for her thank you nor asking for anything in return for saving her.
The thing that she noticed was that, other than his clothes that looked cheap, his figure was good. When she was on his chest, she felt his chest muscles clearly.
From that moment, she had gotten smitten by him. She fell in love with him and this love continued growing till she couldn't hold it in anymore. Since she hadn't thanked him all this while, she decided that she would marry him as a thank you. So, she asked for her grandfather's help.
*End of Flashback*
"Look at your expression, it's obvious that you have a boyfriend and you're trying to hide it, aren't you?" The girl with bangs asked again.
"You changed a lot since we went out last year. What happened to you? Your behavior has been particularly strange since yesterday, and today, it has gone a step further." The girl continued.
Wendy wasn't a shy girl that she was at this moment. She was a decisive girl back then. If a person dared to tease her, she would definitely make him pay for it. But suddenly, her character changed suddenly a year ago.
Now, she would sit absent minded for a long time revealing a smile from time to time. It was as if the previous Wendy and the current one were two different people.
Wendy pulled the girl closer and whispered to her ears, "Angy, you better keep what I'm telling you a secret or else, I won't be your friend anymore. Look, I just got engaged two days ago. I'll be married when I turn twenty one."
Angy's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard these words. She was just to shout in surprise when Wendy tightly closed her mouth using her hand. She gave her a stare and Angy was forced to swallow her scream.
Upon noticing that she had calmed down, Wendy let go of her mouth. But immediately after that, Angy whispered back, "How come you're engaged to someone and I know nothing about it?"
"Sheesh, such a gossipy person. Anyway, the engagement party will be arranged once I meet him." Wendy replied with a smile.
"You mean that you haven't met him yet and you're behaving in such a manner? What kind of guy is he to make you change this much?" Angy couldn't help but ask.
Wendy was just about to reply when they arrived at the scene. She could see that at the center of over fifteen youths, there was a young man with blue eyes, silver hair and a handsome face.
The moment that she saw him, her movements froze as she stared at the young man in a white suit, wide eyed. Her cherry lips parted as she stared at the young man in disbelief.
Angy happened to see her reaction. She couldn't help but look at they young man and size him up. Then, she looked at Wendy and said, "He's just a handsome guy, what's up with that exaggerated expression on your face?"
