Heather's adoptive parents froze imdiately. Guns have a pretty big effect on regular folks.
"Hey, hey, take it easy! Killing soone is illegal!"
Roy handed Heather the Smith & Wesson M625 revolver and told her to aim it at her adoptive parents.
"Texas has the Castle Doctrine, you know. Heather could shoot you both and it'd be fine since you've invaded her property!"
Actually, what he said was a bit misleading, but Heather's adoptive parents were too uneducated to realize the issue, so they just backed away a few steps.
"Heather, do you really want to treat us like this? After all, we raised you to adulthood!"
Hearing that, a look of pain crossed Heather's face.
Her adoptive parents hadn't been great to her, but they had saved her life. Otherwise, she might have been burned to death like the other mbers of the Sawyer family.
Roy made a suggestion.
"Heather, you could just give them so money and cut them off."
The mont the couple heard they'd get money, they imdiately agreed.
"Okay, okay!"
"But you have to sign a legally binding agreent before you get the money!"
Heather's adoptive parents' faces fell. This ant the gravy train was over. But for these two, getting any money was better than nothing.
In the end, Heather called the lawyer who had previously handled the Sawyer family's estate to draft the agreent. She didn't know any other lawyers.
"I really didn't expect this to happen."
Lawyer Nord seed a bit moved, but he still ca to help Heather draw up the agreent.
The old man obviously knew Heather's biological grandmother, which is why he was helping.
Once the agreent was signed, Heather wrote a check without showing any emotion. It was for $100,000.
This amount wasn't a huge chunk of Heather's inheritance, but she was still a little unhappy about it.
Roy nudged Heather's arm to comfort her.
"Heather, think about the good things. You won't have to put up with them anymore!"
This made Heather smile.
"Yeah, I can finally get rid of them!"
Heather's adoptive parents were initially pretty happy to get the money, but when they heard what Roy said, they realized their free ride was over, and their faces dropped.
At the rate these people spent money, how long could $100,000 possibly last?
And so, a very strange scene unfolded in the cafe: Heather, who had given the money, was all smiles, while the couple who received it had long faces.
"Alright, you two can get lost! Don't let see you at Sawyer Manor again, or else!"
Roy slamd the Smith & Wesson M625 revolver on the table, startling Heather's adoptive parents.
"You, aren't you afraid we'll call the police?"
"You can call them. I happen to be very familiar with the sheriff. Should I call him over for you? Hey, Sheriff George!"
Just then, Sheriff George was patrolling outside the cafe. Hearing Roy's voice, he smiled and walked into the cafe.
Seeing this, Heather's adoptive parents had no choice but to slink out of the cafe.
"Roy, what can I do for you?"
Sheriff George pretended not to see the revolver on the table.
"It's about the case from last night. Heather and I wanted to make a statent, and we happened to see you."
Seeing that he wasn't needed anymore, Nord stood up to say goodbye to Heather.
"Ms. Sawyer, my work should be finished. I will send you the bill."
Heather didn't try to keep him, after all, many lawyers charge by the hour.
"Thank you, Lawyer Nord."
After Nord left the cafe, Sheriff George spoke.
"In that case, let's go to the police station."
After making the statent, Roy also helped Heather hire a local middle-aged woman as a maid.
That night, Heather and Roy continued their passionate encounter.
After their first ti, Heather's 'riding skills' had clearly improved. This ti, their 'battle' with Roy lasted until late into the night, earning Roy another agility point.
Not bad. It proves that consistent 'harvesting' is possible. As long as they do it often enough, he can get more attribute points.
On the third day, Roy had to go to school, even though he was a little reluctant to leave the passionate and unrestrained Heather.
As an excellent 'sea king', even if he was reluctant to leave, he had to, otherwise the fish in his 'pond' would swim away!
"You finally decided to co to school?"
Jennifer and Needy looked at Roy with their hands on their hips. The two girls looked a little angry.
"What's wrong?"
"Needy and I heard that you injured your back, so we specifically went to your house to see you. But we didn't see you at your house, and your parents didn't know about your back injury!"
Roy took out a dical certificate and put it on the desk.
"That's because I didn't want my parents to know I was injured, I was afraid they would worry! You didn't see either because I went to the hospital to check my back."
The diagnosis stated a lumbar muscle soft tissue contusion. This injury could be minor or serious; if severe, it would be very painful.
However, Roy's back injury had already recovered a lot. As long as he didn't do strenuous exercise, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Seeing the diagnosis, Needy touched Roy's waist with a look of concern.
"So serious? Roy, does your back still hurt?"
Roy seized the opportunity and imdiately showed a painful expression.
"Ouch, don't touch my back!"
This startled Needy. Looking at her expression, it seed like she was about to cry.
"I, I didn't an to!"
Jennifer, as a forr cheerleader who had also experienced injuries, could tell at a glance that Roy was faking it.
"Needy, don't fall for this guy's act! His back injury isn't that serious. He didn't even co yesterday, probably out on a date with so girl!"
Seeing that he couldn't keep up the act, Roy quickly apologized with a smile.
Realizing that she had been tricked, Needy playfully punched Roy's shoulder with her small fist.
This kind of attack had no destructive power; it was more like a massage.
"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy!"
After hitting him, Needy started to worry about Roy again.
"Roy, will this back injury affect your competition this weekend?"
This Cowboy Cup competition was very important, as it was related to whether Roy could go to college, so Needy was very concerned.
"No big deal. With my strength, I can win even if I'm injured."
"Really?"
"Really!"
Roy was quite confident about this.
Moreover, by the ti of the competition, Roy's back injury would probably be almost healed.
Jennifer gave Roy a charming eye-roll.
"Needy, this kid is clever. He definitely wouldn't say that if he wasn't sure of winning."
Recently, Roy felt that Jennifer's whole deanor was becoming more and more charming, and her personality was also becoming more cheerful. When he talked to her, she didn't have the cold, aloof feeling she used to have. He wondered if it was because of his 'developnt'.
However, Jennifer was still cold and aloof towards other mbers of the opposite sex.
Ring ring ring, the class bell rang.
Elizabeth walked into the classroom holding textbooks. Jennifer and Needy quickly returned to their seats.
Roy breathed a sigh of relief. He had managed to get through this one.
