As David Bennett was about to leave the bank, Edward Cooper spoke in a low voice.
David Bennett nodded. He had also heard about the body-strengthening potion, and it even came with an instruction manual.
“Oh right, Mr. Bennett, I think, given your situation, you also need a computer!” Edward Cooper clapped his hands, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
A computer. David Bennett didn’t have much of an impression of them. After all, in Donglu Town, most people struggled just to eat and drink, let alone use electricity in every household, so naturally, no one had even heard of computers.
“This thing only costs ten thousand yuan. If you need one, Mr. Bennett, I can help you buy a laptop in the city, and you can charge it at our bank.”
“As for internet access, your Elite Card will do.”
After David Bennett walked away, Edward Cooper pumped his fist hard. At this moment, he was even more excited than after closing a big deal.
“Manager Cooper, he’s just a kid. Is it really necessary for you to be so polite?” a beautiful woman said to Edward Cooper in confusion.
This woman’s looks were among the best in all of Donglu Town, which had made her a bit proud.
Usually, Edward Cooper was polite to her as well, but not as flattering as other men, which she had noticed.
Just now, seeing Edward Cooper being so accommodating to a young boy, she found it odd.
Edward Cooper sneered, “Remember, he’s an elite, understand? Even though he’s only a G-level elite, youth itself is an asset.”
“In the future, when Mr. Bennett comes by, you all need to treat him well.”
Of course, David Bennett knew nothing about the bank staff’s discussion. At this moment, he was walking happily, his heart full of joy.
Although he had imagined this day ever since becoming an elite, actually holding fifty thousand yuan in his hands felt completely different.
“Gurgle gurgle!”
Hungry. Time to get something to eat, then go visit Grace Howard's house, and have someone buy a better house in town.
Although David Bennett's goal was to bring his mother and sister into the city, the environment of their small house still needed to change.
“Stop right there, you brat!”
A loud shout suddenly rang in David Bennett's ears. He looked up and saw Grace Howard running toward him in a panic from afar.
Chasing after Grace Howard was a burly, greasy-faced man.
He was over forty, with his belly exposed, but he could still run pretty fast.
“Grace Howard, what’s wrong?” For this female classmate who had given him steadfast support at his lowest point, David Bennett naturally felt obliged to help.
“This has nothing to do with you, just go!” Grace Howard said, giving David Bennett a look, then turned to the burly man and said, “Dad, slow down.”
This was meant for David Bennett to hear—she wanted to let this handsome boy know she wasn’t in any danger.
But vaguely, David Bennett felt that Grace Howard's predicament might be related to the energy bar he had eaten.
“You little brat, do you think it’s easy for your dad to make money? Huh? And you, five hundred yuan, just like that…” The burly man slowed down, but his scolding grew louder.
Hearing her father’s words, Grace Howard's face instantly turned red.
Of course she didn’t want David Bennett to see her like this!
By now, Grace Howard had reached David Bennett's side. She was about to pass by, but found her way blocked by David Bennett.
“Who are you?” The burly man seemed to sense something from his daughter’s embarrassed expression, so he was quite unfriendly toward David Bennett.
“I’m David Bennett. Hello, Uncle Bennett.” David Bennett smiled gently and greeted the burly man with utmost politeness.
The burly man’s face turned from red to ferocious in an instant. He pointed at David Bennett with his carrot-like finger and said, “You… you’re that brat, aren’t you? You… at your age, you dare to seduce my daughter? I’ll beat you to death!”
As he spoke, the burly man was about to charge forward.
David Bennett naturally wasn’t afraid of an ordinary person who wasn’t even a martial artist, but this was Grace Howard's father, so he couldn’t just fight back.
“What are you doing? Why are you hitting my son!” Just as David Bennett was about to dodge, his mother Emily Sullivan rushed out.
Usually, Emily Sullivan was timid and afraid of trouble, but now she looked like an angry lioness.
The burly man recognized Emily Sullivan. After all, there were only a few thousand people in Donglu Town. He pointed at Emily Sullivan and said, “Old Shen’s daughter-in-law, not only did your son seduce my daughter, he even made her buy him an energy bar! Tell me, how does that make sense?”
“Tell me, who does things like that?”
The burly man chasing his beloved daughter had already attracted a crowd, and now, hearing this, everyone was happy to watch the commotion.
Emily Sullivan glanced at David Bennett, then said solemnly, “I don’t want to say who’s right or wrong between the two kids.”
“But as for the money, I’ll definitely pay you back.”
