I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

Lu Ge thought, Count Facco was at least a respectable and elegant man, so how come his son was so unlike a human being?

The two species belong to it.

"Please, young lord! For my father's sake! Just one gold coin!"

Scott raised his head, his voice filled with genuine pleading, tears glistening in his eyes, like a desperate and lost dog.

Passersby around have begun to stop and watch, and some people are even pointing and talking.

Lucius: ...

"Quack! Don't call me!"

I don't want to have anything to do with a guy like you!

After some thought, Lucius decided to give Scott the gold coin.

First, he didn't want Scott to be embarrassed in public again, and second, there might be some unknown talent hidden under this sloppy appearance.

Maybe this is just Scott's disguise. He might be investigating something secretly, so he deliberately made himself look like this.

Thinking of this, Lucius took out a glittering gold coin and handed it to Scott, who was still hugging his thigh tightly:

"Here, take it."

Seeing this, Scott immediately let go of Lucius' thigh, took the gold coin like a life-saving straw, kissed it hard, and his whole state was lifted.

"Oh, thank you, young lord! Thank you, benefactor! You are truly my savior!"

Scott exaggeratedly kowtowed and bowed, like a fawning man who had received a favor.

Then, changes happened.

Under the shocked gazes of Lucius and Ivilia, Scott underwent a miraculous transformation.

He gently weighed the gold coins in his hand, then licked his cracked lips. His hunched back straightened up and his dull eyes flashed with confidence.

He seemed to have shaken off all his decadent temperament in an instant, and walked towards the strong men at the door of "Rose House" with a swagger.

"What are you looking at!"

Scott suddenly shouted at the big men, his voice so loud that almost everyone on the street turned to look at him:

"You've never seen this young master's style, have you?"

His steps became larger and larger, and an inexplicable arrogance arose spontaneously. Even his walk had an exaggerated and humorous sway, like a rooster that had just won a battle.

He held the gold coins in his hand high, sparkling in the sun, almost deliberately showing them off to everyone.

"Did you see that?"

He raised his chin, shook the gold coin at the fierce-looking leader, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"What a golden one! I have a wealthy sponsor! Do you think you can bully me?"

Lucius: ...

Six hundred and sixty-six, how to play face changing without deducting beans?

Scott walked up to the big man, threw the gold coin at his chest, and said arrogantly:

"It's just a few bucks! Take it!"

The big man caught the gold coin steadily, but did not show joy as Scott expected. Instead, he looked at him with disgust, as if he was looking at a mentally ill poor guy.

"Master Westbender."

The big man's voice was low and cold, with a hint of contempt:

"This is just Miss Katie's payment alone. There are still more than a dozen other girls whose expenses have not been settled."

"If that's all you're going to pay back..."

The big man paused meaningfully, and glanced curiously at Lucius and Iveliya standing in the distance:

"Then I'm afraid we'll have to invite you to stay there for a while until your relatives and friends come and redeem you."

Lucius:? ? ?

A dozen girls?

Turtle, you are better than Brother Lu.

A sense of absurdity arises spontaneously.

Scott, who had been so arrogant just now, was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water. He became listless again, with his shoulders drooping, as if all his strength had suddenly been drained away.

Seeing several burly thugs coming out from behind the big man, ready to drag Scott back to the "Rose House" again, Lucius sighed helplessly and strode forward.

"Please wait a moment."

He raised his hand to signal the men to stop, his voice calm and powerful:

"I'm here to pay off Mr. Westbourne's debt."

The big man looked Lucius up and down, and seeing his luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament, his attitude immediately softened a lot:

"You are...?"

"I am only a passer-by, and I happen to know Mr. Westbourne's father."

Lucius was vague and deliberately avoided revealing his identity.

It's not that they were afraid of having their family associated with such places of entertainment. The Clovis family has never had any reputation in this regard.

His great-grandfather, Grand Duke Gaius, even made the famous outrageous statement "Officials should not compete with the people for power" and banned Clovis' children from entering low-end places.

The reason for hiding his identity at this moment was purely because Scott's behavior was really embarrassing for the nobles of the East Territory. Lucius was embarrassed to admit that he was the warden of the East Territory.

The big man nodded, seemingly accepting the explanation, then took out an account book and gave Lucius a detailed list of Scott's debts.

Looking at the densely packed items on the bill, Lucius couldn't help but gasp.

This frequency and this variety are really enjoyable.

Although there were many items, the amount was not large, only more than 200 gold coins in total, so Lucius paid readily.

After paying off the debt, the big man bowed politely to Lucius, then handed him a VIP card of the "Rose House", welcoming him to visit often in the future.

Under Iveliya's murderous gaze, Lucius awkwardly took the card and quickly stuffed it into his pocket.

Lucius himself would definitely not come to such a place, but this thing can be kept and used to frame Lao Deng in the future.

Hehehe, Brother Lu is truly a genius.

The big man turned and left with his other men, leaving only the woman named Katie standing at the door.

She looked at Scott, then at Lucius, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. Finally, she shook her head slightly and turned back to the "Rose House".

Lucius turned around and was about to say something to Scott when the guy pounced on him again in an extremely exaggerated manner and hugged his thighs tightly.

"Benefactor! Great benefactor!"

Scott burst into tears, his eyes and nose streaming:

"Timely rain in the imperial capital, Jade Unicorn of the Eastern Territory!"

"My Lord, you are my adopted parent! Scott's life is yours from now on!"

"You tell me to go east, but I won't go west. You tell me to climb a mountain of swords, but I won't go down a sea of ​​fire..."

"Gurgle..."

A loud and persistent sound suddenly came from Scott's stomach, interrupting his impassioned speech.

Lucius: ...

Scott let go of his hand slightly embarrassedly and slowly stood up.

He touched his protesting belly and smiled an embarrassed yet innocent smile:

"Um... Young Lord, I haven't had a proper meal in five days..."

"Help others to the end, can you give me another meal?"

Lucius looked at him speechlessly, and finally nodded:

"Let's go."

Considering Scott's hunger, the three decided to find a nearby restaurant that looked relatively clean to eat.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a restaurant called "Big Pineapple" and sat down by the window.

The restaurant was dimly lit and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue and beer. Most of the customers were casually dressed businessmen and craftsmen. They sat together in groups of three or four, talking in low voices and occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

In the corner, there were a few women dressed up in fancy clothes, wearing bright lipstick, and occasionally casting seductive glances at the male customers passing by.

Soon, the waiter brought the food they ordered.

As soon as it was placed on the table, Scott immediately grabbed a piece of barbecue that was as big as his palm and swallowed it whole without chewing it.

Then he gobbled up the rest of the food on the plate, using both hands. His movements were so fast that it was almost impossible to see. He completely lacked the etiquette and cultivation that a noble should have.

Lucius and Iveliya were stunned. Even the diners at the next table stopped talking and turned to watch Scott's amazing "performance".

Scott's eating style was really exaggerated. He held the barbecue in one hand and the bread in the other. His mouth was stuffed full, his cheeks bulged like a squirrel, and he hummed with satisfaction from time to time.

Oil stains flowed down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto his already dirty plaid shirt, adding a few new stains.

Even a homeless person who has been hungry for three days would probably look better than him.

Oh yes, according to this guy, he has been hungry for five days.

That's fine.

Lucius tried to find some topics to make the atmosphere at the table less awkward:

"How have you managed to survive these five days?"

Scott nodded vaguely, his mouth still full of food:

"Hehe, I've been living off the fruit plates from Rose House for the past five days. Later, because I owed too much money, those guys stopped even giving me the fruit plates."

He finally swallowed the food in his mouth, took a long breath, then grabbed a glass of beer, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and a few drops of malt liquid slid down the corners of his mouth.

When he put down the empty cup, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"I almost starved to death in a brothel."

Lucius frowned, the confusion in his eyes deepening.

He leaned forward and asked in a low voice:

"You are the only son of the Wesbin family and a student of the Imperial Royal Academy. How could you have fallen to such a state?"

Hearing this question, Scott's movements suddenly stopped.

He put down the food in his hand, raised his head, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Then he burped loudly and spoke in an unexpectedly calm tone:

"Yes, I did have a good life once."

His voice was low and self-deprecating, his fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup:

"Excellent grades, a beautiful girlfriend, a bright future... but that was over a year ago."

"What happened over a year ago?"

Iveliya couldn't help but ask.

Her eyes sparkled, and she was obviously very interested in this gossip.

A shadow flashed in Scott's eyes, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"I messed with someone's cake, and my ex-girlfriend and her new lover teamed up to set me up."

"They falsely accused me of committing misconduct at the academy, which nearly got me expelled and even sent me to jail."

"If my mentor hadn't done his best to protect me, we would probably be meeting in the Imperial Capital Prison right now."

Lucius and Iveliya exchanged surprised glances. They didn't expect that this seemingly bohemian guy had such a story behind him.

"From that day on, I saw through it completely."

Scott continued, the light in his eyes gradually dimming:
