Rich In a Brief
75

It might be because it was getting late, but there was no one around the alley. Only the yellow light from the shining street lights illuminated the area.

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, someone appeared before Luis.

................................

The man's face was covered with cloth, revealing only his red eyes. Looks like this guy hasn't slept in days.

"Bro, why are you carrying a knife in the middle of the night? Who are you trying to fear here?" Luis frowned as he looked at the knife in the man's hand.

"Give me all your money now!"

The man looked nervous as if this was his first time doing this. He could only muster up courage by swinging the knife in his hand.

Even so, Luis still saw fear in the man's eyes.

"Well, are you planning on going to jail so you can eat for free every day?" Luis simply stretched out his hands and shrugged with a careless expression on his face.

Fear was seen in Logan Lex's eyes, but then he remembered his daughter, who was still lying in the hospital. He slowly fixed his gaze. "Stop that shit! There are no surveillance cameras around here, and people rarely pass through this alley. So you better give up all your money if you don't want to die." Logan swung the knife in his hand, as if that would give him more courage.

"Okay, calm down and put the knife down. I'll act like nothing happened, and we can part ways" Luis said with a smile.

"What's? You don't think I have the guts to do it? I'm really gonna stab you!" After saying that, Logan used the knife to slash his own hand, and blood flowed out.

Luis scrunched his eyes when he saw Logan's blood. If someone is cruel to others, it does not mean they will also do the same to themselves. However, if one was also cruel to themselves, then that person was truly someone evil.

Logan must have been different, seeing how he could have cut himself like that.

"Hey, what's your name? Looks like you're an interesting guy." Luis glances.

"It's none of your business!"

Logan was still swinging his knife towards Luis. "It looks like I have to hurt you to make you self-conscious!"

"I don't care about that, but to me it seems like you're the one who's unconscious!"

Luis only watched as Logan pointed at him with a knife. With Luis' abilities now, he wouldn't be afraid even if Logan had a machete instead of a knife, because he had great fighting ability.

Of course it's another story that Logan had a gun, but they're now in Cania, not Ardania. Even the criminals here did not have the authority to use a gun.

Luis just reached out, and Logan had already lost his knife.

Logan could not even react as Luis swung the knife into the air before gripping Logan's wrist, rendering him unable to move.

Luis then extended his other hand to the side and the knife he managed to grab.

"Oh, no. He's a veteran!"

Logan's pupils widened at the thought of that. He never expected his fate to be this bad as he met a trained fighter on his first robbery, and Luis looked like an expert, not an ordinary fighter.

"It looks like you need to check your eyes." Luis still clutched Logan's wrist while playing his knife. "I can take down ten people at once with abilities like you."

"I never thought I'd meet a trained fighter on my first robbery. All right, I'm losing." Logan could only smile wryly.

"So? Whatisthis? Do you just test your courage or do you have a criminal record?" Luis scrunched his eyes as he asked.

Hearing Luis' question, Logan just laughed and shook his head. His eyes look tired. "Well, whatever you think."

"Oh? Did something happen? Say."

"What to tell? Everyone has their own story." Logan laughed, but his laughter sounded sad.

"Is that so?"

Luis simply smiled and threw the knife on the ground and then removed Logan's wrist. He then leaned his back against the wall of the alley.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run?" Logan is shocked and doesn't understand why Luis just let him go.

Luis looked at Logan and replied, "Although you are young and have good stamina, I still won't worry."

Logan is over 40 years old, and had he been younger than that, Luis could still have gone after him. The physical body of an ordinary person really could not compare to Luis' body.

Finally, Logan sighed and took off the cloth that covered his face. He looked skinny and unkempt with a beard on his face. It seems he hasn't shaved for a few days.

"So? What's yourname?" Luis grins.

"Logan. Logan Lex."

"Good name, but the guy looks a mess." Luis laughed and pulled out his phone.

Logan wanted to reply, but no words came out of his mouth. It was as if Logan agreed to what Luis said, and what he did today was not something to be proud of.

Robbery has become a wrong thing. Not only that, he had even failed while doing so, it was extremely embarrassing.

"You don't like it?" Luis then glanced at the marketplace at Shopazon. He grinned when he realized that the information about Logan was worth 450 dollars.

"I admit defeat. What you said is true." Logan nodded and remained silent.

"Logan Lex, man, 45 years old, you have a daughter, your wife died at 35, and you're not married yet. Am I right?"

"You know me?" Logan's face changed upon hearing that. All the information is correct.

"No, but it's not hard to find someone's information" Luis replied.

"You were once vice president of the U. S. Company, but were fired after offending one of the directors. You were framed and almost broke. Things got worse because your daughter had leukemia, and she needed a lot of money for medical expenses."

"Why should? I'm nobody now." Logan smiled, not caring.

"No, you mean." After saying that, Luis pointed at the knife he had just thrown away.

"Did you know robbery isn't a misdemeanor? You tried to commit armed robbery. I don't know if you know this, but you're gonna be sentenced to 10 years in prison for armed robbery. Even if the robbery attempt fails, you still have to go to jail for at least 3 years. After 3 years, I think your daughter will ..."

"What do you want?!" Logan's face finally changed.

He doesn't care what happens to him. She was in a bad mood, but she loved her daughter very much. He is the fruit of Logan's love with his wife.
