Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women

Chapter 349: Connections

”It is okay, it is okay. A furious outburst for the sake of a beauty.”

Luis knew she was truly terrified. Comforting her seemed somewhat useless, so he simply let her cry it out properly.

Sometimes women are troublesome creatures, especially young girls when they are panicked and distraught. When you ask them anything, they just know to shake their heads and do not speak to you, only crying incessantly.

But Luis also enjoyed it. His usually tsundere sister-in-law had become more dependent on him. The beating he took tonight seemed almost worth it.

Of course, overall, Luis definitely did not come out at a loss. After the System loaded the Combat Specialization, his body’s reactions were unusually fast. While he looked somewhat sorry, there was a bit of a deliberate ’bitter flesh strategy’ involved.

The bottle that hit his head had glanced off sideways. It did hit, true, but it only scraped the skin, causing no real flesh wound. The so-called stitches were just one or two scattered ones, and a concussion was completely out of the question.

His sister-in-law, hiding in the restroom, was indeed scared out of her wits, but pressed against the door, she also knew that her Brother in law had come charging in all by himself.

Amidst the torrent of curses and shouts, he immediately started fighting fiercely with Dominic and the others. What stunned Leah the most was that even when the security guards arrived, they initially sided with Dominic.

She knew Dominic’s family was wealthy and influential, but she never expected they were also shareholders of this place. What difference was there between this and a lamb entering a tiger’s den?

By then, she was utterly terrified. She had heard others say that Dominic’s family was very powerful, that they could even get away with murder. At that point, she was completely broken and despairing.

After the shock and fear, Leah felt drained. After finishing her cry, she drowsily fell asleep in Luis’s arms.

Luis, on the other hand, felt very fortunate that, in the end, it was a scare but no real danger. If he had not gone along, if he had not been idly waiting at the hotel, his adorable sister-in-law would likely have already fallen victim to that little bastard’s vile actions.

Judging from the arrogant and confident manner of those young ruffians, it was clear they had done this kind of thing many times before.

What was somewhat puzzling was that Luis had somewhat overestimated that Combat Specialization. He had spent one blind box and his only attribute point to exchange for this Combat Specialization.

He originally thought dealing with that group of drunk thugs should be easy, that he could pull off a hero-saving-the-damsel act with full style points, and then capture their adorable hearts.

Reality, however, harshly slapped him in the face. It proved the old saying true, two fists are no match for four hands, and that combat skills and street brawling are two completely different things.

That gang of hooligans were already in a very excited state, and they were thoroughly experienced in this kind of group fighting.

The confined space limiting his movements was one thing, but mainly, those bastards kept grabbing beer bottles and smashing them over. In such a chaotic situation, Luis simply could not utilize his skills effectively.

This Combat Specialization felt almost pointless, and the style points for the heroic rescue were significantly downgraded.

However, Luis could confirm that if it were a one-on-one fight, or against only two or three people, he absolutely could have crushed that chicken-framed guy, Dominic.

He let Leah rest properly. Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and Blanche pushed it open and entered, her face full of anxiety.

Seeing Luis, she first froze, then her face filled with astonishment. Luis also pretended to look very surprised at her, then quietly placed a finger to his lips in a ’shush’ gesture.

Blanche, after a moment of stunned silence, came to herself and nodded, then walked to the bedside to look at her sleeping daughter, and also checked the medicine bottle with the dripping IV.

By now, Luis had already placed Leah on the attendant’s chair. He walked over, patted Blanche, and signaled for them to go out and talk.

Blanche was dressed quite provocatively today. A purple dress further accentuated her mature charm and her plump, alluring curves.

Especially her beautiful legs, sheathed in black stockings, and wearing a pair of black high heels. They were not name-brand, but she was a natural clothes hanger, exuding a full sense of femininity and sexiness.

Out in the corridor, Blanche said with some emotion, ”I truly never imagined that Leah is your sister-in-law.”

”What a twist of fate. I bet she doesn’t even know that her best friend’s mother is her eldest sister’s teacher.”

People passed by the emergency room corridor from time to time, so there were no intimate gestures, and the atmosphere wasn’t really suitable for it either.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Blanche anxiously pressed for details on what exactly had happened. Her daughter had said she was going to stay at a classmate’s house this weekend, so how did it suddenly escalate to the point of needing to come to the hospital?

She had met her daughter’s best friend a few times, knew the girl was a top student and liked her very much, so she had felt quite at ease.

Weekends were actually her busiest time, and she felt a bit guilty for not having much time to spend with her daughter, so she very much approved of her daughter going to stay at Leah’s house.

”Drugged?”

Upon hearing this, Blanche’s face instantly flushed red with anger.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with these kinds of glamorous, decadent places, nor was she a naive newcomer. Having struggled to make a living in the city for so many years, she had seen things far worse than this.

But for this to happen to her own daughter, who was still in high school, Blanche was immediately burning with rage. ”Then why didn’t you call the police?”

Faced with her aggressive questioning, Luis just gave her a meaningful look and joked, ”Even if I’m not your sugar daddy, I did just save your daughter. This attitude isn’t very good, you know.”

Blanche also realized her attitude was indeed poor, and smiled somewhat apologetically.

Setting aside their sugar daddy arrangement, just the fact that Luis had rescued her daughter meant her attitude shouldn’t have been so harsh.

Luis roughly explained the course of events, including how they were tricked into going to the private room. Of course, he had to conceal the fact that he also had an extremely ambiguous sugar daddy relationship with her daughter.

Blanche didn’t think too much of it, only sighing, ”This child, why is she so troublesome?”

Her daughter was in the rebellious phase of adolescence. Having a boyfriend at this age couldn’t even be considered early love anymore. Even if Blanche found out, there wasn’t much she could do about it, mostly just worrying that her daughter might suffer some serious harm.

But this kind of incident was entirely a man-made disaster. One has to ask, what mother could remain calm under such circumstances?

Especially given her particular situation—a completely single-parent family. Her daughter was her life. If something really happened to her, how could she go on living?

”As for not calling the police, it’s because it would have been useless.”

Luis shook his head, lit a cigarette, and sighed, ”I was alone. Luckily, I knew the owner of that place. Being able to get them out was already difficult enough.”

”That young punk father is Dominic. Don’t tell me you don’t know him.”

Blanche was also stunned when she heard that name. For anyone trying to make a living in Bathek City, regardless of whether you are from all walks of life or an ordinary citizen.

You might not know who the mayor is. As a student, you might not know the principal’s name. But it’s impossible not to know the name.

In Bathek City, he was absolutely a local power with connections in both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds. It could be said that no one from any walk of life dared not to show him respect. He belonged to the category of the wealthy and powerful old-money elite.
