Infinite Rebate: I Get Richer Every Time I Spend

Tharok would never forget that day.

The day Lucas had casually kicked open the solid bronze doors of his loan company as if they were made of cardboard.

That scene had haunted him ever since.

So the moment he recognized the man walking toward him...

His face instantly turned pale.

His legs almost gave out beneath him.

"Mr... Mr. Lucas!"

His voice cracked.

He hurried over with a stiff smile plastered across his face, looking more like he was attending a funeral than greeting someone.

Lucas frowned slightly before finally remembering.

"Oh..."

"It’s you."

Tharok’s eyes lit up.

"You still remember me!"

"I’ve actually been thinking about you ever since we~"

Lucas raised a hand.

"Stop."

"I don’t care."

Without another word, Lucas grabbed Tharok by the shoulder and dragged him several steps like he weighed nothing.

He stopped directly in front of Maya and Cassandra.

"They’re my friends."

Lucas’s eyes narrowed.

"Apologize."

There wasn’t the slightest hint of negotiation in his voice.

Only command.

Cold sweat immediately soaked through Tharok’s expensive designer shirt.

His heartbeat skyrocketed.

He had offended the wrong women.

Again.

"M-Mr. Lucas... I..."

Lucas smacked the back of his head.

Smack!

The loud crack echoed across the lakeside.

"I didn’t tell you to apologize to me."

Lucas looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Are your ears decorative?"

"I’m telling you..."

"Apologize."

"To."

"Them."

Each word hit harder than the slap.

Tharok nearly cried.

He immediately bowed so deeply his forehead almost touched the ground.

"Miss Maya!"

"Miss!"

"I’m sorry!"

"I was blind!"

"I deserve to die!"

"I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that!"

"I sincerely apologize!"

"Please... forgive me!"

Maya blinked.

Cassandra blinked.

Neither of them had expected the arrogant thug from seconds ago to transform into a terrified puppy.

Cassandra couldn’t help staring at Lucas.

So...

This is what it feels like...

To have someone protect you.

A notification quietly appeared before Lucas.

[Ding!]

Cassandra Favorability +5

Cassandra Favorability +5

Current Favorability: 45

Lucas barely glanced at the notification.

He wasn’t interested.

His eyes never left Tharok.

Especially after remembering Debbie.

He had already let this bastard off once.

And now...

He was harassing another girl.

Lucas sighed.

"It seems I was too merciful last time."

"If I don’t teach you a lesson today..."

"You’ll keep doing this for the rest of your life."

Tharok felt his scalp go numb.

"W-Wait~"

SMACK!

Lucas slapped him so hard that he spun nearly half a circle before collapsing to one knee.

His left cheek instantly ballooned.

Before he could recover~

SMACK!

Another slap.

This time from the opposite side.

Now both cheeks matched perfectly.

Lucas looked down at him.

"Good."

"Now we’re symmetrical."

Several students couldn’t help biting their lips to keep from laughing.

Even Maya looked like she was trying incredibly hard not to smile.

Lucas spoke calmly.

"From now on..."

"You’ll keep slapping yourself."

"When you finally think you’ve forgiven yourself..."

"You can stop."

Tharok didn’t dare hesitate.

Smack!

"I’m sorry, Miss Maya!"

Smack!

"I’m sorry, Miss!"

Smack!

"I was wrong!"

Smack!

"I’m a complete idiot!"

Lucas folded his arms.

"Didn’t eat breakfast?"

Tharok froze.

"...Huh?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow.

"Those slaps sound weak."

"I’ve heard mosquitoes hit harder."

Tharok nearly burst into tears.

"I understand!"

Then~

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

The sound echoed nonstop across the lake.

His own hands were moving so fast they almost blurred.

Within seconds, both sides of his face were swollen like he’d stuffed golf balls into his cheeks.

The students watched the unbelievable scene in complete silence.

Just minutes ago...

Tharok had been acting like he owned the entire lake.

He ignored Maya.

He didn’t care about Bryce.

He even shoved Cassandra aside without hesitation.

Yet now...

He was standing there...

Beating himself senseless because Lucas had told him to.

Bryce swallowed hard.

His entire worldview felt like it had just been shattered.

Who...

Exactly is Lucas...?

Not far away, Silas frowned.

He had been waiting for Tharok to come back for several minutes.

Instead...

He saw his younger brother kneeling on the ground...

Slapping himself so hard that it echoed across the entire lakeside.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

"...What the hell?"

Even the three glamorous women fishing with him stopped laughing.

One of them blinked.

"Is... is he practicing?"

Silas shoved them aside.

"Move."

He strode over with a dark expression.

"Tharok!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

By now, Tharok’s face had swollen into something resembling a steamed bun.

His lips were so puffed up that he could barely move them.

"Bo... Boss..."

"I... Mr... Loo..."

"It’s... misunderstanding..."

"I can... explain..."

The words came out like someone trying to speak with marbles stuffed into their mouth.

Silas didn’t understand a single sentence.

All he saw...

Was his little brother crying.

His face swollen.

Looking utterly miserable.

Silas’s expression instantly darkened.

Someone had beaten his brother.

And now...

They were forcing him to slap himself.

If word got out...

How was he supposed to keep his reputation in Slivermont?

If he couldn’t even protect his own people...

Who would still fear him?

His eyes slowly swept across the students before locking onto Lucas.

Only Lucas stood there calmly.

Hands in his pockets.

Looking completely uninterested.

Silas pointed directly at him.

"...You did this?"

Lucas didn’t even bother answering.

That silence...

Only made Silas angrier.

Bryce’s heart skipped a beat.

Crap...

This is bad.

He knew exactly who Silas was.

A ruthless enforcer.

The kind of man who solved problems with broken bones instead of conversations.

The students unconsciously backed away.

Everyone...

Except Lucas.

Silas exploded forward.

His heavy footsteps pounded against the wooden dock as he threw a vicious punch straight toward Lucas’s face.

The fist cut through the air with enough force to knock out an ordinary man.

Lucas didn’t dodge.

He didn’t even blink.

At the last possible second~

SLAP!!

A single backhand.

Clean.

Simple.

Brutal.

Lucas had only used around ten percent of his strength.

Yet the sound exploded across the lake like a firecracker.

Silas’s entire body spun almost one hundred and eighty degrees before crashing face-first onto the wooden dock.

BANG!

The entire dock shook.

For several seconds...

Nobody moved.

Silas slowly raised his head.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

He instinctively stuck out his tongue.

Something felt...

Missing.

He spat.

Clink.

Two teeth landed on the dock.

Silas stared at them blankly.

"..."

"...Those are my teeth."

Lucas looked down at him.

"You figured it out."

"Congratulations."

Several students immediately turned their heads away.

Their shoulders were shaking.

Nobody dared laugh out loud.

But it was getting really hard.

Silas’s face twisted with rage.

"You little~"

Before he could even finish...

Lucas grabbed him by the collar like he was lifting a child.

"What~"

The next second~

SPLASH!

Lucas shoved Silas’s entire head straight into the freezing lake.

Water exploded everywhere.

Silas immediately struggled violently.

His arms flailed wildly.

His legs kicked like a fish that had just been dragged onto shore.

He grabbed Lucas’s wrist with both hands.

Trying desperately to pry it away.

Nothing happened.

Lucas’s arm didn’t move an inch.

It felt like trying to bend a steel pillar.

Thirty seconds...

Forty...

Fifty...

A full minute later...

Lucas finally pulled him back out.

Silas gasped desperately.

"COUGH!"

"COUGH!"

He vomited mouthful after mouthful of lake water.

Lucas tilted his head.

"Feel better?"

Silas kept coughing.

Lucas crouched slightly.

"I really hate people like you."

"You don’t ask questions."

"You don’t think."

"You just swing your fists."

"Unfortunately for you..."

He smiled.

"I hit harder."

Tharok finally crawled over.

Ignoring his burning cheeks, he leaned close to Silas’s ear.

"Boss..."

"It’s... him..."

"The Mr. Lucas I told you about..."

"The one..."

"...who kicked open my company’s bronze doors..."

"...like they were cardboard..."

Silas’s entire body froze.

His eyes slowly widened.

Now he remembered.

Tharok had reported that incident month ago.

A mysterious young man.

Ridiculously rich.

Ridiculously strong.

Someone they absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.

Silas looked back at Lucas.

Then looked at the two missing teeth lying on the dock.

His face immediately changed.

The murderous expression disappeared completely.

It was replaced by the brightest smile he had ever forced onto his face.

"Mr. Lucas!"

"Hahaha!"

"What an incredible misunderstanding!"

"I was blind!"

"I deserve that slap!"

"No..."

He quickly corrected himself.

"I deserved ten more!"

Lucas looked at him expressionlessly.

Silas immediately bowed.

"I’m terribly sorry."

"I’ll take my people and leave immediately."

"We’ll never bother your friends again."

Bryce stood rooted to the spot.

His mind had completely stopped working.

He knew exactly who Silas was.

Even the powerful Durnik Family rarely received this level of respect from him.

Yet now...

Silas was practically bowing to Lucas.

Bryce swallowed hard.
