Chapter 64 My Fist is Tougher Than Yours
"Hahaha... Look at that, the handlebars of your bicycle are rusty. Seriously, it's killing me!" Ivan clutched his stomach as he squatted on the ground laughing. "Are you such a loser that you can't even afford an electric bike? Are you from one of those refugee countries in the Desert Continent?"
Noah couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Ivan.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you're feeling miserable inside because you rode a bicycle to pick up your wife?" Ivan looked at Noah sarcastically. "Noah, you should ask yourself if you're living up to your responsibility as a man and the head of the family. Do you really deserve Lisa?
"Lisa works at the company to support the family, but you just loaf around all day. Fine, you came to pick her up, but you're even... riding a bicycle!"
"What does it have to do with you? I like my bicycle, I can avoid traffic and get some exercise. It's environmentally friendly," Noah said calmly.
"Come on, if you can't afford a car then just admit it!" Ivan exposed Noah. "Look at my Audi A4L, it’s top of the line and costs over three hundred thousand. I’m using this car to pick Lisa up after work, how prestigious is that? There's also the ninety-nine roses I just bought inside!
"You’re her husband, but you rode a bicycle to pick up your wife. lf Lisa's coworkers see this, won't they make fun of her? She’ll be embarrassed at work, how can she face anyone!
"Noah, think it over, is what you’re doing right?" Ivan put on a concerned look. "In my opinion, you should divorce Lisa as soon as possible. You’re making her suffer by being with her!"
"Can you stop buzzing around me like a fly?" Noah furrowed his brows, feeling a bit annoyed by Ivan's nagging.
"Am I buzzing around you? I am just educating you on how to be a real man," Ivan said, his gaze flickering as if he had thought of something. "I know why you don't want to divorce Lisa!"
After saying that, he went to the driver's seat and took out a thick envelope, casually throwing it in front of Noah on the ground.
Rustle...
The envelope's seal opened, and a large amount of US dollars scattered out.
"In today's society, who isn't motivated by money? You’re refusing to divorce Lisa because of money, right? Is it all about money?" Ivan sneered at Noah.
"Noah, there's a total of one hundred thousand dollars in that envelope. You should take it and divorce Lisa!" Ivan said contemptuously.
Noah looked at Ivan, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt.
"I don't quite understand, are the interviewers at Noah Capital idiots? Why would they hire someone like you to work for them?"
"What? Are you calling me an idiot?"
Ivan suddenly became enraged. "I have a Ph.D. in finance, what's your educational background? What right do you have to call me an idiot?
"You called the Noah Capital interviewers idiots. If you have the ability, why don't you work for Noah Capital? You probably don't even know that Noah Capital is one of the top 50 investment companies globally, you trash! You're just trash to Noah Capital, you’re not even worthy of being called garbage, you’re just a speck fo dust!
"How dare you insult the Noah Capital interviewers!" Ivan spat on the ground, contempt on his face.
"In terms of education, you can't compare to me, I have a Ph.D. in finance!
"In terms of wealth, you can't compare to me, I own five houses in Oceanbridge City!"
Ivan's voice kept getting louder.
"In terms of work, you can't compare to me, my company is one of the top 50 in the world!
"In terms of future prospects, you, a waste, are even worse off. In the next twenty years, I could step into the core senior management of Noah Capital, with an annual income surpassing billions!"
Ivan pointed at Noah.
"In terms of education, wealth, work, and future prospects, how can you compare to me, you waste of a man? How dare you! Why won’t you divorce Lisa?"
"Noah had enough of the nonsense and punched Ivan directly in the nose.
"Bang!"
Blood immediately started gushing from Ivan's nose.
He fell to the ground, feeling as if his butt had been split in half, in immense pain, gritting his teeth.
"Ah! It hurts so much!"
"You waste, how dare you hit me! How rude!" Ivan covered his nose, shocked and angry as he looked at Noah.
"In terms of fists, mine are harder than yours, that's enough." Noah massaged his fist, smirked, and felt much better.
"Noah!"
They heard a voice.
Lisa had finished work and approached them, skipping and hopping.
"What happened to him?" Lisa saw Ivan lying on the ground, blood covering his nose, mouth, and chin. His clothes were stained and there was blood all over the floor.
"He accidentally fell on the ground." Noah didn't even glance at Ivan.
"Oh, I see," Lisa nodded without asking any further questions. She held Noah's arm affectionately.
"Let's go home!"
"Go home?" Ivan exclaimed loudly. "Lisa, I’m deeply in love with you. Let me drive you home! There are roses in the car too!"
He picked up the roses from the ground and approached Lisa, suppressing the intense pain in his nose and forcing a smile.
"These roses are for you. There’s a total of ninety-nine of them, representing my love for you, which will last forever."
"Thank you, but I don't want your gift," Lisa said politely, but her attitude was icy cold.
"What? Why?" Ivan was dumbfounded. He thought Lisa had rejected him before at the Jade Lake Villa because she was shy.
But now, he was here in an Audi A4L while Noah had come on a bicycle, and the difference between them was apparent.
Why was Lisa still rejecting him?
"Lisa, let me drive you home! Are you going to ride the bicycle back?" Ivan said again, "It’s dangerous, and it’ll be embarrassing if your colleagues see you!"
"Go get the car, Lisa," Noah said calmly.
"Okay, honey, wait here!"
Lisa went to the garage.
As Lisa left, Noah punched Ivan in the nose.
Bang!
Blood spurted out, and Ivan fell to the ground, the roses scattered all around him.
Ivan cried out in pain, covering his nose.
"Ah!"
"You’re rude and barbaric, you just hit me again!"
"My fists are harder than yours, so I’ll hit you if I want," Noah said, feeling much better.
A short while later, Lisa drove out in a Mercedes-Benz E350L.
"Honey, what happened to him?" Lisa poked her head out of the car and looked at Ivan on the ground, bewildered.
"He accidentally fell again." Noah smiled and put the bicycle in the trunk.
"He fell again?"
Lisa looked deeply at Noah, feeling that something was not right.
But she didn’t think about it too much and left the company with Noah in the car.
"A Mercedes-Benz E350L?"
Ivan was dumbfounded as he watched the car go further away.
Daniel had told him that Lisa didn't have a car, but she had just bought a Mercedes-Benz and had given it to him.
How was Lisa driving a car again? And it was a higher-grade Mercedes-Benz E-Class, much fancier than his Audi A4L.
'Could Daniel have lied to me?' Ivan wondered.
'And Noah was so rude and barbaric, he relied on his strength to just hit me! People like him who are simple-minded and strong, can only live at the bottom of society, they’re the scum of society!
Ivan was filled with hatred as he thought about Noah.
