"Mandy, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Hey beauty, let's go have some drink, okay?"
Two hooligans blocked Mandy's path, said some nasty words, and even reached out to pull Mandy.
Mandy was like a bullied primary school student. She was scared and weakly rejected. She tried her best to dodge, but was blocked either in front or back, and had no way to escape.
The front man stretched his hand directly towards Mandy’s fair face while suddenly his could not be stretched out, and he let out a scream that sounded like his vocal cords were being torn apart.
Ashburn grabbed his wrist, used a little skill clicked it, and dislocated his wrist bone.
Then he kicked him in the chest and kicked him directly into the drainage ditch next to him.
"Damn!"
Another hooligan rushed over, and Ashburn immediately pulled away, swung his left hand, and moved hands like clouds. Then Ashburn reached out with his right hand and hooked his head.
Embrace the Tiger and Return to the Mountain Style of Tai Chi!
The opponent's head was like a basketball in Ashburn's hands with his hands rotating, the hooligan’s body could only rotate accordingly.
Suddenly he let go, and due to the strong centrifugal force, the man flew out spinning and fell to the side of the road.
Now the world in hooligan’s eyes was spinning, he was dizzy, and he couldn't help but vomited a column of filth out of his mouth.
Ashburn was very satisfied with the results. He had just practised the Thirteen Styles of Tai Chi and was able to achieve such results. He couldn't help but feel happy.
"Get out!"
The two supported each other and fled.
Mandy was stunned. She had met Ashburn several times before, and she only thought he was a plain person but did not think he was hidden.
After coming back to her senses, she timidly walked towards Ashburn, "Thank you so much for that."
Ashburn smiled and said, "It's just a little effort. Are you going to work?"
"Yeah."
"Then see you."
Mandy nodded slightly and walked to the bus stop in front.
Ashburn returned home, used the internal vision, and bravely helped when they saw unfair added two more years of spiritual cultivation, for a total of 482 years.
There were still 18 years away from the five hundred years of spiritual cultivation that a person bought when people were born. However, unlike ordinary people, he could develop the power of this spiritual cultivation. However, ordinary people who were not enlightened couldn't do this.
Then, he continued to figure out how to pay off Gina's debt.
According to the ordinary method, he had to find a job, but how long would it take to pay off one million? This was a question that Ashburn needed to consider. It would take at least ten years, which was too long.
After a bunch of deliberation, he could only go with Norton to the west hill to collect medicines. With the skill of looking at Qi, he could easily find some precious medicines.
…
In two days, Ashburn did dig up a lot of valuable herbs such as pseudo-ginseng, gastrodia elata, and poria cocos in the west hill. Because they were wild, the selling price was slightly higher.
Norton helped to do the sales, splitting the profits 50-50.
But it was still a drop in the bucket.
On the way back from the west hill, Ashburn suddenly received a call from Gina.
"Ashburn, come home now."
"Is something wrong?"
"Lucas's son was born. Ma and Dad don't want to visit, so let us go." Gina sighed worriedly. She knew what would happen if this kid was a son.
This meant that grandma had her first great-grandson, and the Trocy's family could completely override their family.
Therefore, Gina’s parents didn't want to face such a scene, but they were still relatives, and they had to congratulate her on such a happy event, otherwise, they lost etiquette.
"A son?"
"Yes."
Ashburn knew that Lucas's wife Roxanne Dunn was pregnant. It was a big event for the Willow family to celebrate, so he naturally heard about it.
Calculating by the time, it was indeed time to give birth.
But the problem was... She shouldn't give birth to a son.
When Ashburn was in spare time these days, he had been cultivating. In addition to the Thirteen Styles of Tai Chi, he was also reviewing other methods to consolidate and deepen them. He calculated the fate of some people, including Lucas's fate.
Last year, on Mrs. Willow's birthday, the whole family went to a banquet, and Lucas was also there. A fortune teller even gave Lucas a prediction, saying that he would have a promising future, which made Trocy's family and Mrs. Willow very happy.
Therefore, Ashburn wrote down his birth time. After his calculation, he found that the fortune teller was simply an ignorant swindler.
Lucas, destined to have no son!
This was a bit interesting.
Ashburn narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a playful smile.
Walking to the bus stop next to him, because the west hill was quite far away, he didn't ride the electromobile, otherwise, he would have to charge it midway, which would be troublesome in that he chose public transportation.
An hour later, he arrived at the Willow family mansion.
Katrina went back to school. Hyman and Hebe sat opposite each other, their faces a little twisted, and Gina also sighed.
"Dad, Mom."
"You still know how to come back?" Hebe said indifferently. She was annoyed when she saw Ashburn and felt uncomfortable if she didn't tease him.
Ashburn smiled lightly, "Mom, It’s you who asked me to go out."
"You!!" Hebe’s eyes widened in shock as if she didn't know Ashburn, she never thought Ashburn dared to talk back!
"Okay, now we family were in a pickle, and you still in the mood to make a fuss ."
Hyman looked impatient, took out a cigar, and pulled out one. When he was about to smoke, he glanced at Ashburn and handed it to him.
Ashburn was stunned for a moment, feeling that Hyman's attitude towards him had changed somewhat. It was probably because of the incident of saving Gina last time that left a good impression.
"Thank you, dad." Ashburn took the cigar.
"Although I hate Trocy, your grandma is still here, so this superficial work still needs to be done. Ashburn, get there with Gina. Now there's a grandson in the Trocy’s family. Hey, your grandma is tickled pink. " Hyman puffed out smoke dully and glanced at Ashburn and Gina again.
The meaning in his eyes was apparent. They had been married for two years, and Gina was never pregnant, while Trocy’s wife had taken the lead.
Gina lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't even dare to look into her father's eyes. If he knew that she and Ashburn had slept separately for two years, wouldn't she make him angry?
"As the fourth-generation grandchild is born, Ma will host a big feast to celebrate in a few days, and then people will laugh at us again." When saying this, Hebe was still a little aggrieved.
Hyman was also annoyed but didn't want to say more about it, so he waved his hand, "You go ahead. If they ask, just say that your mother is sick and I have to be busy with the company."
Ashburn stood up and followed Gina to leave.
Suddenly Hebe stopped again, "Wait a minute! Ashburn, I almost forgot to ask, where did your five-star black card come from?"
"Mom, I told you, I didn't give this card to him." Gina gave Hebe a helpless look.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Did Scenic Group give it to him?"
"Ashburn saved Chairman Taylor last time. Maybe they gave him a consumption card to say thanks. That's normal."
Hebe was still suspicious, "He? Saved Frederic Taylor? You couple join forces to deceive me? Do you think I'm stupid? How could he have anything to do with the Taylor family? Ashburn, take out the card, Oswald needs it."
