Chapter 1125

~6 min read 1,183 words

The man opened the car door while holding the gun in a standoff, got out of the car facing forward, retreated a few steps, then turned and rushed into the crowd, running into a nearby alley.

"Phew... phew..."

"Damn it!"

The man cursed while panting, and then a bang was heard, and blood splashed instantly.

He exploded!

"Drive, drive quickly!"

Lucy urged in a low voice. After the car drove far away, she let out a long breath, and her whole body slumped down.

"Phew... you saved me once, and I saved you once. We're even!"

Su Quan's lips curled up slightly: "Even? Fine, if you say we're even, then we're even. But I'm very curious, didn't you run away? Why did you come back?"

"Don't you have any idea why I ran away? If I didn't run, should I wait for you to take me home? No, a rich person like you probably wouldn't easily take a woman from the outside home; you'd probably go straight to a hotel, right?"

Lucy blinked and preempted him: "Don't deny it, do you dare say you didn't have those thoughts about me?"

Su Quan chuckled: "I've been very gentlemanly, haven't I?"

"A so-called gentleman is just a wolf with patience; a so-called lady is just a fox with a plan—people nowadays are too hypocritical."

Lucy pouted, looking cynical and realistic about the world.

"A poor man's gentleman is worthless, a rich man's rogue is exceptionally charming," Su Quan added casually.

Lucy glanced at Su Quan: "You are quite charming, and as a person, you're not bad, otherwise I wouldn't have risked saving you."

After finishing, she took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the cigarette, and pulled the trigger.

"Click!"

A flame sprayed out from the muzzle and lit the cigarette.

Her gun was fake; it was a pistol-shaped lighter.

No wonder she kept saying she risked saving Su Quan, and after the incident, she was completely slumped in the chair.

"You really are incredibly witty!" Su Quan praised.

Lucy put her feet on the center console, smoking, and said lazily and triumphantly: "Nothing is better than just right."

This statement was indeed very fitting for the situation just now.

The breeze was gentle, the cigarette smoke was curling, the fiery red sun was ahead, and a lazy beauty was by his side. In this scene, at this moment, there was an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Hey." Su Quan suddenly spoke.

Lucy gave a lazy "Hmm" like a cat.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"Don't you feel lonely?"

"I've never felt lonely. To put it romantically, I am completely free."

Su Quan glanced at her and smiled: "Cool."

"What about you?" Lucy asked back.

"I don't have one either."

"I don't believe it," Lucy snorted: "How could a man like you, who is rich and has money, and is also not bad, not have a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? Wasn't it boyfriend just now?"

"..."

Lucy rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Don't play dumb, I'm asking about a girlfriend."

Su Quan said with a light laugh: "In the past, carriages and horses were slow, and letters were far away; one life was only enough to love one person. Now that transportation and information are so developed, I think I can love a few more."

"Scumbag."

"Hmm."

"Is that it? Don't you plan to defend yourself?"

"What's there to defend?" Su Quan said dismissively: "Love comes from willingness, no regrets after the fact, don't let down the encounter, don't talk about owing. Isn't this good?"

Lucy nodded in agreement: "As long as you can justify it to yourself, leave the rest to karma."

"..."

Su Quan hissed. This little punk was not only witty and realistic about the world, but her mouth was also quite poisonous.

"Every cause has an effect, and your karma is me."

Lucy gave a "Tch" and didn't speak again.

For a long, long time, the car had been driving aimlessly for a long way, and Lucy suddenly said: "Five hundred dollars."

"Hmm?" Su Quan didn't react for a moment.

Lucy turned her head to look out the window: "I don't have money to pay the rent."

Five hundred dollars?

Don't have money to pay the rent?

The meaning of putting them together is...

Su Quan was a bit surprised, but also felt it was a matter of course. Punk girl, this thing is just like playing rock, being poor and destitute is the norm of life.

Besides, don't think five hundred dollars is little.

Let's put it this way, the exclusive Spider-Man photos Peter Parker sold to the Daily Bugle were only a hundred or so dollars each.

When Peter Parker was in a financial crisis, the money Aunt May gave him was only twenty dollars.

When the fledgling Peter Parker went to participate in a cage fight, it was to use the prize money to buy a second-hand sports car to date Mary Jane. The prize money was three thousand dollars, and he only got one hundred dollars in the end.

From this, it can be seen that for people living at the bottom of society, five hundred dollars is already a significant amount.

Su Quan didn't tease her for calling him a scumbag one second and then asking for five hundred dollars the next. It could be seen that this decision was very difficult for her.

In fact, no one has any secrets in front of Su Quan.

Lucy is the kind of person who says, "I smoke, I drink, I perm my hair, I get tattoos, I curse, but I am a good girl."

"You don't want to? Then pretend I didn't say anything," Lucy said, feigning calmness after a brief silence.

Su Quan smiled and said: "You're in a band, right?"

"Hmm."

"A private band, are you interested? I have a very excellent lead singer here. If you're interested, I'll cover all your food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and playing, and there's also a generous pocket money... salary every month!"

Lucy turned her head to look at Su Quan: "You let it slip, didn't you?"

Calling pocket money a salary, heh, I'm embarrassed to expose you? Are you recruiting band members? You are...

Hmph.

Lucy refused flatly: "Not interested."

"Don't you want to hear about the benefits?"

"No, my freedom is priceless!"

"Fine."

Su Quan didn't force her and directly turned the steering wheel, changing direction.

The next day, early morning.

Su Quan disappeared silently by teleporting, and the next second, he appeared in his car in the hotel parking lot.

Since she had already made her choice, there was no need to dwell on other things. He wasn't a sentimental person!

Sitting in the car, Su Quan didn't start the car, but squinted his eyes, sensing Galactus outside the distant galaxy, and then slammed his mental power over.

I allow you to develop secretly, but that doesn't mean I will ignore you forever. Occasionally attacking suddenly can also give him a sense of urgency. ===== CHAPTER 1127 =====
