chapter 40 : Arrogant Thomas Liu

Mr. Lawrence's name was Lawrence Lynch. During Benjamin's high school days, he had always been the boss in the school. He was quite public and many of his classmates were following Lawrence Lynch at that time. At that time, Benjamin was focused on studying and was unwilling to get involved with this group of people. He was always treated as an alien by them, excluded and isolated in various ways. Looking back, it was really a sad period. It was precisely because of this that Benjamin had rarely attended high school reunions over the years. Amid the adulation of everyone, Lawrence Lynch hugged the woman beside him and sat on the main seat. Looking at the woman next to Lawrence Lynch, Ryan, who was sitting next to Benjamin, gave a thumbs up and whispered to Benjamin, "Lawrence is awesome. He changed his girlfriend again!" Benjamin smiled and shook his head. He was not interested in these at all. His goal was not these things in the world, but to continuously enhance his strength and stand on the top of the world. "Sorry, there was a traffic jam just now, so I'm late," Lawrence Lynch said to everyone with a smile, "I'll pay the bill later. Don’t be polite to me!" "How domineering, Lawrence!" "Haha, it seems we have a chance to eat for free today." "I'm going to have a big meal soon, Lawrence, don't feel bad!" Everyone smiled and held Lawrence up, making him even more proud. At this time, Lawrence's eyes were on Elizabeth aside. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, with his expression full of shock. The temporary girlfriend next to him could be considered very beautiful, but compared with Elizabeth, she was simply vulgar. He had never seen such a beautiful lady before, and his heart was filled with excitement for a moment. A smile immediately appeared on his face, "Who is this beauty? Introduce it to me!" Natalie hurriedly said, "This is Benjamin's girlfriend, Elizabeth!" "Benjamin's girlfriend?" A trace of contempt flashed across Lawrence's expression, and he looked down on Benjamin from the bottom of his heart. He smiled and said, "As for Benjamin, he suffered a lot at our hands back then. I remember that we poured water all over his quilt, and he still slept all night on the cold quilt in the middle of winter. He even got a cold the next morning.” Lawrence said this deliberately because he wanted to talk badly of Benjamin's background in front of Elizabeth, and to attack Benjamin's self-esteem. He wanted to show Elizabeth Benjamin's true face by despising him. In this way, he would have a chance. However, Elizabeth didn't care what Benjamin was like before. She only knew that Benjamin was a potential now, and his future was limitless. Benjamin's brows were furrowed, but soon, he was relieved. He smiled and said, "Why are you bringing him up about the past?" Benjamin's unwillingness to care was seen by Lawrence as cowardice, timidity, and fear. Lawrence focused his eyes on Elizabeth and said with a smile, "Beauty, nice to meet you. Let's have a drink!" Elizabeth didn't want to drink with Lawrence Lynch, but because the other party was Benjamin's friend, she had to pick up the glass and have a drink with him. After that, Lawrence kept talking about Elizabeth, constantly asking about Elizabeth's family background, work and other things without paying attention to Benjamin at all, as if today was a blind date between the two of them. This made Elizabeth very unhappy, but she didn't say anything. But who knew that Lawrence went too far and directly asked to change seats with the classmate on the other side of Elizabeth, and sat next to her. "To be honest, Elizabeth, my family runs a factory, and still owns tens of millions of money." Showing off, Lawrence said proudly, "I said, following that loser, Benjamin, will earn nothing good. This loser was bullied by me when he was in school. He didn't even dare to fart, not to mention that he didn't even have a father! Compared to an orphan, why don’t you just follow me and enjoy the fame and wealth? How great would that be!” "Slam!" Elizabeth could no longer suppress the anger in her chest, and slammed the table vigorously, "I don't allow you to talk badly to Benjamin!" Lawrence was startled, then glanced at Benjamin with disdain and hummed, "Look, this kid doesn't even dare to fart in front of me. Don’t you think he is a waste?" Benjamin took a deep breath before he stood up. Looking at Lawrence, he said coldly, "Lawrence Lynch, what happened between us at school in the past is because we are both young and not sensible, and we are still classmates. I didn't care about it at first, yet, you were aggressive today and even insulted my parents, so I have to argue with you!" "Argue with me?" Lawrence Lynch sneered, "You are just a loser, how can you argue with me?" Everyone panicked when they saw this scene. Natalie stood up quickly, "Lawrence Lynch, that's enough. Today is our class reunion day. We all come here hoping to share happiness, but you keep bullying Benjamin! What do you want?" Lawrence Lynch's expression was still full of disdain, "He is such a loser, why do you still stand with him?" Benjamin grabbed the wine bottle on the table and hit directly to Lawrence Lynch's head. "Pang!" The beer bottle exploded and scattered. In an instant, blood flowed from Lawrence's head. "Ah!" He was in unbearable pain, and the hand he covered the wound felt hot. When he looked at it, he saw that it was all covered with blood. "Damn it, damn it! You loser, you dare to hit me! You are looking for death!" Lawrence became mad. He then grabbed the wine bottle on the table, and was about to smash it at Benjamin. But how could he beat Benjamin now? Benjamin reached out and grabbed Lawrence's shoulder and pressed down. Lawrence's arm immediately lost its strength, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground. "Lawrence Lynch, you have gone too far. Do you think I am still the same as before, letting you bully me?" Benjamin said coldly, "Now, kneel down immediately and apologize, and let this matter be over. Otherwise, I will break your limbs today!" "You want to break my limbs?" Lawrence let out a mad laugh, "Benjamin, I haven't seen you for so many years, and are you rebelling against me? How dare you speak to me like this?! Okay, okay!!! I must teach you a lesson, and let you know how powerful I am!” With that said, Lawrence immediately took out his mobile phone and was about to call someone. Natalie saw this scene and hurriedly came to Benjamin's side, saying anxiously, "Benjamin, you'd better leave quickly, in case something troublesome happens!" At this time, Natalie was still on Benjamin's side. Benjamin smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. I will wait and see who he calls!”
