My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start-Chapter 509 - His Name Is Watson
Chapter 509 - His Name Is Watson
"Master Lawrence, you're here!"
Deena's expression darkened when she saw the man. She recognized him as someone who occasionally appeared in her family manor. He ran a casino, and he always looked at her creepily. Meanwhile, her father, Byron, had a look of ecstasy on his face as he quickly walked to the door to welcome him.
"I was just about to bring Deena to see you. Since you're here, I'll leave Deena to you! Oh, right! You said that as long as I introduce Deena to you, you'll give me 100,000 gold coins. So, about that—"
"Don't worry; I'm a man of my word." The man named Lawrence gestured at the burly men behind him. One of the men immediately brought in a huge box. He opened the box and revealed the gold coins in it. It was precisely 100,000 gold coins.
Byron looked happy when he saw the gold coins. The reflection of the gold coins in his hands dazzled his eyes.
"Deena, come here and let me take a look at you. The last time I saw you were a few months ago. I did not expect you to become so beautiful after only a few months! I heard that you've enrolled in the Royal Academy recently. That's not bad. I haven't congratulated you yet. I've prepared a small gift for you. I hope you'll like it."
Lawrence clapped his hands again, and his subordinate immediately took out a gorgeous gown.
"This gown cost me a thousand gold coins. I specially customized it for you. Do you like it?"
Deena could feel Lawrence's greedy gaze on her, making her frown uncomfortably. She felt like Lawrence's gaze was like a pair of giant hands, wanting to peel off her clothes.
"Byron, what are you doing? How can you sell your daughter to someone else?" Deena's mother asked as she rubbed her red and swollen cheeks.
"Sofia, your words are too unpleasant. What do you mean by selling? How can you sell things between the noblemen? This is called a transaction. In any case, our family's current circumstances can no longer support Deena's education, and Lawrence is willing to take over that. We can get the money, and Deena can also get the funds to continue studying at the Royal Academy. It's killing two birds with one stone, right? Lawrence assured me that Deena would graduate from the Royal Academy. He will also pay for all the potions, weapons, and everything else that Deena uses in the process. Lawrence, didn't you agree to that?"
Lawrence nodded his agreement.
"Enough! What do you mean we can get the money? You are the only one getting the money, Father. And you'll gamble all of that way. You are giving me to someone else to fund your gambling habit. Is that what a father would do?"
"No matter what you say, Father, I will never agree to such a thing! Mom, we will leave this house later. You can live with me."
She had gone home to give her mom the salary Watson had paid her. She did not expect her father to do such a thing. She might as well take her mother away from Byron.
Byron chuckled. "Deena, do you think you can still be so willful? Lawrence, I will leave Deena to you. I will not stop you, no matter what you do."
"Go and get Miss Deena. Be careful not to hurt her."
Lawrence waved his hand, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes as he looked at Byron. He had been coveting Deena for a long time. Deena was too charming. As a nobleman, he had played with many young girls, but none were as beautiful as Deena.
Previously, he had vaguely mentioned that he was interested in Deena. However, at that time, the Byron family had not gone bankrupt and had mercilessly rejected him. Then, Byron owed the casino a lot of money due to his gambling habits.
'Byron does not know that the reason he has been losing in my casino is that the gambling table has a mechanism that I designed, allowing the dealer to change the dice at will! Selling his daughter for gambling is really pathetic, but I can get Deena this way.' Lawrence thought.
He had already started fantasizing about what would happen after he got Deena. With Deena's beauty, he would get to enjoy her in bed every night. He had given her the gown for her to wear at night. After a few months, he might share her with his friends.
Lawrence was breathing heavily, and his eyes were filled with lust as a few guards behind him had already walked toward Deena. Their bodies were emitting a gold-tier aura.
Even though Deena was a top gold-tier student at the Royal Academy, he did not care because she had barely passed the Royal Academy's test. He had spent a lot of money to hire the warriors behind.
"Miss Deena, I hope you won't resist me. We don't want to hurt you."
A few guards came in front of Deena. The leader spoke in a low voice. His eyes flickered with the desire of a man. Very few men could remain calm in front of Deena. Furthermore, their boss had already agreed to let them enjoy her when he had finished playing with her.
"Stay away from me! All of you! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Deena's expression darkened. She clenched her fists tightly. It seemed like she wanted to resist. Unfortunately, her appearance made the guards present feel an overwhelming desire to conquer her. They grinned hideously and extended their fists toward her.
There were four guards. They were gold-tier warriors and possessed a fire-elemental combat aura. They attacked at the same time. The four fists covered in flames attacked Deena from different directions. The fire turned into a storm that swept toward Deena—a layer of charred black was left on the ground.
It was apparent that the four guards were good at attacking together. At that moment, the powerful pressure was not inferior to that of a peak gold-tier warrior. They were afraid of hurting Deena and being criticized by Lawrence, so they held back.
Facing such a powerful attack, Deena was about to fall to the ground and be captured.
Right at that moment...
"Get lost!"
Six white wings suddenly appeared on Deena's back, and a transparent halo appeared above her head. A holy light appeared beside her, along with the chanting of the gods. Following that, a huge translucent light barrier appeared and covered her surroundings.
The four guards' flaming fists landed on the light barrier in front of Deena. Not only did they not cause any harm to Deena, but their bodies tumbled and flew outward, their faces filled with disbelief.
"What kind of power is that?"
'Fortunately, Young Master Watson gave me a Blessings of the Gods and Demons potion at the Severed Fingers Gang's headquarters, transforming me into a platinum-tier angel! If I did not have an angel's reflexes, I might not have been able to defeat those people.' Deena sighed as she felt the surge of power in her body.
At the same time, a cry of surprise came from the opposite side.
"That form and that holy light—there's the power of an angel. Recently, the Abedor family has introduced a potion called the Blessings of the Gods and Demons which can transform a person into a platinum-tier angel. But that potion is worth ten million gold coins. How could you have afforded it?"
Lawrence looked at Deena in a daze. He knew about the potion. Deena looked exactly as they described. However, he could only watch with envy as others bought the potion worth ten million gold coins. So, how could Lord Byron's low-income family buy it?
"Ten million gold coins? Deena, tell me how you got that potion." Byron's face darkened. He has suspected Deena of selling her body to get that bag of gold coins. He got even more furious when he heard about the ten million gold coins potion. Why did she not give him some? She was not a good daughter.
"I didn't buy that potion. It was given to me by someone else." The wings on Deena's back flapped gently as she said that.
"Stop talking nonsense. Who would be willing to spend ten million gold coins to give such a precious potion to someone else?"
Deena pouted her lips disdainfully, "Ten million gold coins is just a small amount to him.. His name is Watson."
