Chapter 47 She Wants to Take a Stroll There
"We live in a society where the rule of law prevails. Why right do you have to hit someone?" the woman exclaimed loudly, and then shouted, "Come look, this guy’s hitting someone! Come take a look!"
At this time, several residents were taking a stroll and enjoying the cool air, and they all gathered around when they heard the commotion.
"It's him, he killed my dog and now he's hitting people!" the woman pointed her finger at Noah and said, "Everyone, come and judge for yourselves. Why right does he have to hit me? Waaah..."
As she said that, the woman started crying, looking very aggrieved.
"It's wrong to hit people, young man!"
"Yes, even if there is a misunderstanding, you shouldn't hit anyone!"
Several old men reprimanded Noah.
"They didn’t leash their dog, which caused it to almost bite someone. They even said that people are inferior to dogs. Don’t you think my husband was right to hit her?" Lisa said, standing up in anger.
"What, there's more to this?"
The onlookers were stunned.
"I remember now, that lady often walks her dog without a leash. A few days ago, someone advised her to put a leash on her dog, but she responded sarcastically, saying that if her dog bites someone, she can afford to compensate for it!" a middle-aged woman said.
"It's a bit harsh to say that people are worse than dogs!"
"Yeah!"
"This young man doesn't seem like a wealthy person, but no one should be picking on him!"
"Even if they are rich, he should walk their dog with a leash!"
The onlookers immediately directed their remarks towards the woman, showing that they were more rational in their thinking.
Lisa sighed in relief. It would have been trouble if the onlookers had taken the woman’s side,.
"Why are you all blaming me? I’m the victim!" the woman cried.
Her husband looked unhappy as more people gathered around them.
He stared at Noah directly.
"Let's forget about this, kid. After all, Lucy’s already dead. But you were wrong to lay your hands on my wife. Apologize to my wife immediately, otherwise I won't be nice to you."
He clenched his fist, making a cracking sound with his knuckles, ready to strike at any moment.
"Apologize?" Noah sneered at the man. "Your wife has a foul mouth and insulted my wife. If she weren't a woman, that slap would have just been the start."
The man's gaze turned cold instantly. He hadn’t expected this skinny young man in front of him to dare to say that.
"If you won't apologize, I’ll make you apologize!"
The man sneered, and he swung his fist harshly toward Noah's head!
"He's hitting someone!"
The onlookers' faces changed.
"That young man is too impulsive. The dog owner is rude, but he shouldn't have said such arrogant things. He must be someone important!"
"Yeah, the dog owner already took a step back. Wouldn't it be better if the young man just apologized?"
"This is turning into a big deal over nothing!"
"He's just asking for trouble!"
"He’s hot-headed and reckless!"
The onlookers shook their heads repeatedly at Noah, as if they could already see Noah being beaten up.
But suddenly, they froze.
They saw Noah lift his right hand and make a clawing motion!
Swoosh!
The claw landed fiercely on the man's hand.
"It hurts..."
The man's face twisted in pain. He felt as if his wrist bones were about to be crushed, causing him unbearable pain.
"That kid is so strong!"
"The young man knows martial arts too?"
"I couldn't tell!"
"That family is so arrogant, but they met their match today. They deserve it!"
The crowd exclaimed in admiration, dazzled.
"Are you alright?" the woman shouted, still clinging to the German Shepherd in her arms.
"Just you wait, kid! I’ll make you regret this!"
The man raised his head, his gaze cold as he glanced at Noah, and he limped away, enduring the pain.
"Husband! Husband!"
The woman picked up the German Shepherd and chased after him, but he turned his head and glanced at Noah again.
"This isn't over, kid!"
Noah didn't pay any attention to his threat, but Lisa's eyes showed a hint of fear.
"Noah..." Lisa looked at Noah.
"It's fine, I've got everything under control." Noah smiled slightly at Lisa.
"Uh-huh!" Lisa nodded, feeling a great sense of security from his smile.
...
The next day.
The top floor of the No. 1 building at Oceanbridge City Wealth Plaza.
Noah stood with his hands behind his back, expressionlessly watching the bustling activity down below.
"Sorry I'm late, Noah."
A man with a square face in a silk suit walked in briskly. His deep gaze revealed that he was Samuel, the CEO of Noah Capital in the Eagleland region.
"How has Noah Capital been developing recently?" Noah asked casually.
Samuel's whole body trembled. Did Noah's question mean that he was preparing to intervene in the family business?
"Noah Capital has been developing steadily recently." Samuel immediately lowered his head and said, "In recent years, the company's capital growth rate has been consistently above ten percent. In addition to emerging industries such as technology media, healthcare, consumer goods services, and finance, our company has also been involved in investment and national engineering projects."
Noah nodded.
Samuel continued, "During this period, Noah Capital has been in talks with the Oceanbridge City government regarding the renovation of the slum area, which is a billion-dollar investment project. It involves compensation for slum area residents, relocation, and construction of housing, among other things.
"The core senior management of the company unanimously decided to have Lisa take over as the overall leader. Of course, we will all be there to support her."
The fact that Lisa was Noah's wife was no longer a secret to the core senior management of Noah Capital.
"Of course, this slum area renovation will be a two-year project, but we have already made preliminary decisions. As the renovation project progresses, Lisa's position in the company will be enhanced and she will move closer to the core." Samuel added.
Noah nodded and then said, "By the way, buy me a unit at Summit Retreat Oasis."
Samuel was taken aback and said, "Noah, while Summit Retreat Oasis is a high-end villa, I feel like the location is not ideal. It's not in the city center and it’s not suitable for you to live in."
"How about Golden Summit Peak? I checked it out, the scenery is pretty good there. It’s away from the city center and quiet." As Noah looked outside the window at the bustling traffic, a gentle look appeared in his eyes.
"She would love to take a stroll there."
"Alright, Noah, I'll start working on it immediately!"
...
On the way back home from Fortune Plaza, Lisa told Noah that Daniel had invited them to dinner at his house tonight.
Noah wasn't surprised. Since entering the Wilson Family, Daniel often invited Lisa and Sarah for dinner at home.
