Chapter 142 My Wife is Priceless
Not long after, Troy loosened his tie and took off his jacket and shirt, revealing his upper body.
Lisa's face changed. She saw a fruit knife on the table and immediately reached out to grab the fruit knife, placing it on her own neck.
Her gaze was resolute as she coldly said, "Troy, if you dare take another step forward, I will die in front of you!"
Troy was stunned, his face puzzled. "Lisa, don't you want to be my woman? Is that worthless Noah worth your infatuation? What do I lack compared to that worthless Noah?"
"You lack everything compared to my husband!" Lisa's voice was icy.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Troy's eyebrows arose in anger. "What does that worthless Noah have besides some brute strength and a little skill?
"Career-wise, I am the president of a bank, with a promising future. In terms of family background, my father is a prominent figure on the list of Eagleland’s richest people. In terms of looks, I don't think I’m inferior to Noah! I really don't understand why you’re so infatuated with Noah!"
"It’s love, who knows? I just like him! I just love him!" Lisa chuckled sadly, tears flowing in her eyes. 'Even if I die, I will never let that beast Troy defile me.'
With that in mind, Lisa held a fruit knife against her neck, gently scraping it against her skin.
Suddenly, a dull sound rang out.
It was the sound of the room door being kicked open.
Alex had just reached the doorway, but before he could open the door, he was sent flying by the force of it.
"Ah!"
"It hurts so much!"
He let out a scream of pain, falling to the ground, teeth clenched, forehead covered in cold sweat.
Troy and Lisa turned toward the outside of the room.
A young man was standing there, wearing a plain t-shirt and carrying a suitcase in his left hand. He had a slightly thin figure and resembled a weak scholar.
"Noah!" Lisa blurted out. Her eyes lit up and tears streamed down her face.
"Noah?"
Troy's brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Noah to actually make it.
Creak...
Noah stepped on the collapsed door and walked toward Troy.
"Here's five million, count it."
He tossed the suitcase in front of Troy. The lid flew open to reveal stacks of US dollars inside.
Troy, who worked at a bank, took a quick glance and surmised that there was around five million dollars, all genuine cash.
"I didn't expect you to have some skills. You actually managed to gather five million in cash within an hour."
Troy looked at Noah, full of surprise. "I'm curious, how did you manage to get this money? If the banks were closed, even I might not be able to gather five million in cash within an hour."
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Noah's expression was neutral as he spoke. "In my eyes, my wife is priceless. If you asked me to get you ten billion in cash within an hour, I would find a way to get it even if the banks were closed."
"My wife is priceless..."
When Lisa heard those words, her heart warmed, and her tears continued to flow uncontrollably. She felt enveloped in deep love.
"Noah."
She put down the fruit knife, ran toward Noah and embraced him tightly.
"I'm here now, don't worry, you're safe."
Noah patted Lisa's back gently, comforting her in a soft voice.
Troy observed all of this coldly and mockingly said, "You really have a big mouth, Noah. You're not afraid of your lies being exposed. You dare to say you can gather ten billion in cash within an hour. Do you even realize how many houses it would take to hold ten billion in cash? Does your family run a bank?"
Noah couldn't be bothered to answer that question. He locked eyes with Troy and coldly said,
"You brought my wife here because I was not prepared. It shows just what you’re capable of and it’ll teach me a lesson about not protecting my own wife. Take the five million, I'll think of it as spending money to learn a lesson. But this will not end so easily."
Troy became enraged and shouted, "Noah, you useless coward, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that? Where do you get the audacity to talk to me like that?
"I’m the one who should be saying that! You humiliated me in public at the Golden Luxe Hotel, causing me to be embarrassed at the reunion. I will not settle this matter with you!"
As Troy said that, he raised his hand and slapped!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
There were footsteps outside the room.
Ten burly men entered one after another.
These men held machetes in their hands, and their bodies were adorned with tattoos, each with an evil and menacing appearance.
As soon as they entered, all their eyes locked onto Noah.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop.
"Noah, do you think that the Blue Sky Building is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Troy smirked when he saw the men. "I am well prepared for your arrival. These men are all from the underworld, skilled in combat. You’re pretty strong, right? I don't believe that you can defeat ten men by yourself!"
"Noah..." Lisa's heart tightened and her palms began to sweat when she saw the men.
"It's okay." Noah shook his head. He didn’t even considering those men a threat.
"Kneel and beg for mercy now, Noah. If I'm in a good mood, I might spare you. I don't want my room to be stained with blood," Troy sneered coldly. "I still can't understand why Lisa is choosing you. In terms of family background, my father is a prominent figure on the list of richest people, in terms of work, I am a bank president, and in terms of appearance, I am not inferior to you. Why are you so infatuated with him, Lisa?"
"Is family background, work, and appearance something you should be proud of?" Noah's voice turned chilling. "haha, my family background, work, and appearance far surpass those of my peers. If I'm not proud, then who can be? I will destroy all of your pride, Troy."
Noah spoke indifferently, a cold aura emanating from him.
Lisa was the most important person in his heart, no one could touch her, and he would not allow anyone to harm her!
Whoever dared to lay a finger on Lisa would be met with Noah's most furious retaliation!
"What do you mean?" Troy was confused and completely bewildered.
But Noah had already made his move.
Swish!
He appeared like a ghost in front of one of the burly men.
Before the man could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest as Noah's foot came crashing down like a cannonball.
Boom!
The burly man's chest visibly caved in at a speed visible to the naked eye, and crackling sounds echoed as his ribs shattered one by one!
He flew backward, landing on the ground, blood spewing from his mouth. His neck tilted, and he fell unconscious without even a scream!
However, this was not the end.
Whoosh!
Noah appeared behind two other burly men, and his fair hands shot out!
Splat!
His hands grabbed their hair from behind!
Their foreheads violently collided, and blood rushed out. Their heads felt like they were exploding, and they fell on the ground motionless.
"He’s so fast!"
"That kid is so fast! I didn't even see anything!"
It all happened too quickly. The remaining burly men hadn't even reacted.
When they snapped out of it, they found three of their comrades lying on the ground.
