Upon witnessing Fabien’s strength, the yellow-haired hooligan who had looked down on him earlier also became cautious and shouted for everyone to attack together.
Facing the gangsters who were charging at him together, Fabien did not panic. Instead, he focused on dealing with them calmly.
For some reason, the movements of these gangsters became especially clear in his eyes. He could clearly see every move and action they made.
Before he had the time to think about the reason, one of the hooligans came in front of Fabien and smashed his fist fiercely towards Fabien’s face.
If Fabien got hit, he would probably be in a daze for a few seconds which the hooligans would take advantage of and beat him up.
However, Fabien had already seen through his movements. The moment the hooligan threw out his punch, Fabien raised his leg and fiercely kicked the hooligan’s abdomen.
The thug let out a blood-curdling scream as he was sent flying by the powerful kick and he had almost crashed into the other hooligans.
Fabien was delighted. It seemed that not only had his physique improved, but his reaction speed had also increased by quite a bit!
He immediately regained his confidence and rushed forward in large strides, coming face-to-face with another hooligan.
This hooligan’s reaction speed was not slow either. Seeing that Fabien had rushed over, he immediately sent a horizontal kick towards Fabien’s waist.
Fabien sneered and turned his body, easily avoiding this kick. At the same time, he opened his right hand and struck the back of the hooligan’s neck.
As a doctor, Fabien naturally knew which part of the human body was the most vulnerable.
With this strike, the hooligan did not even have the chance to scream as he collapsed directly.
Fabien did not stop and once again charged forward, casually knocking down the other two hooligans with two punches. At this time, the yellow-haired hooligan’s subordinates had all been knocked down by Fabien, leaving him as the sole commander.
The hooligan’s face was filled with panic. He obviously did not expect Fabien to knock out all of his subordinates so quickly.
Gritting his teeth, he took out a dagger from his pocket and pointed it at Fabien as he threatened, “So what if you can fight, I’m not afraid of you! If I really put in all my effort to fight, you won’t have it easy either!”
By saying this, he was already admitting defeat.
Fabien smiled, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to beat you! I just want to have a good talk with you!”
“Talk? What do you want to talk about?” The blondie was stunned.
“It’s very simple, how much does Mary owe you?” Fabien asked in a serious voice.
“Adding the interest… it’s more than 9,000 dollars!” The blondie said after some thought.
Fabien’s face turned cold, “I don’t care about the interest! I’m not paying the interest on the gambling debts! Tell me how much does she owe exactly!”
At the end of his sentence, Fabien’s tone became even more fierce, scaring the hooligan so much that he couldn’t help but take half a step back.
“Fi… fine! Then it’s 7,500 dollars!” The hooligan hesitated for a moment before replying.
This was what Mary had said!
Fabien nodded, “Alright, since that’s the case, then I’ll take over the debt of 7,500 dollars! I’ll pay for her later! You guys are not allowed to cause trouble for her again! If I find out that you did, I won’t be as lenient as I am today!”
Hearing Fabien say that he was lenient, the blondie’s expression immediately became strange as he lowered his head to glance at his subordinates on the ground.
He thought to himself, if this was being lenient, then how ruthless could he be? Would he end up breaking his limbs?
“Fabien, you… how can I let you do this! How can you pay back our family’s debt?” Mary hurriedly ran over and said.
Fabien’s heroic performance just now had shocked Mary. This was the first time she knew that Fabien could actually fight so well.
Only after Fabien said that he would help Mary pay back the money did she recover from her shock.
“Hehe, Mary, you don’t have to be so polite! It’s not like you don’t know my relationship with Howard. Howard has already passed away so his debt is my debt!” Fabien said with a smile.
Mary was stunned for a moment, secretly pondering the meaning of Fabien’s words.
Not long after, her beautiful face suddenly turned red. She raised her head and glanced at Fabien, her eyes filled with shyness.
Howard’s debt was Fabien’s debt, but what about Howard’s woman?
Could it be that Fabien was intentionally hinting at her like this?
Otherwise, why would he help her, a widow, and her daughter to pay off their debt?
Thinking back to the scene at the clinic, Mary was even more certain of her guess. No wonder Fabien was so lascivious back then, he had long since decided that she was his woman.
While Mary was still deep in thought, Fabien and the hooligan continued their conversation.
“Alright! I have no objections since you’re willing to pay off her debts!” The hooligan nodded. “But you can’t delay it indefinitely, okay? If you do, I won’t be able to explain it to our boss!”
Fabien knew that the hooligan’s boss was the head of the town’s hooligans and was known to be hard to deal with.
Even though Fabien was currently very good at fighting, he did not want to provoke such a troublesome person.
“Then… How about a month?”Fabien asked casually.
The hooligan immediately shook his head, “No, our boss said that we have to get the money back within three days. Otherwise, he will make us forcefully snatch this woman away and send her to the county to be a prostitute!”
“What? Three days? No, that’s too short!” Fabien rejected, “One week. If you don’t agree, then we can’t come to an agreement and you won’t be able to return in one piece as well!”
Being threatened by Fabien, the hooligan was shocked and instinctively brandished his knife.
When he realized that Fabien did not make a move, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright, one week then! This is my limit! You have to return the money within one week. If not, our boss will lose his temper and it will not be something that either of us can handle!” The hooligan said seriously.
“Alright, you guys can leave! Don’t disturb Mary anymore! Oh right, don’t forget to leave your phone number!” Fabien said.
A moment later, the blonde-haired man left with his group of hooligans. Before they left, the hooligans looked at Fabien with fear in their eyes. It was obvious that Fabien had left a deep impression on them today.
After the hooligans left, Fabien turned to look at Mary.
“Mary, don’t worry. Everything is fine now! You don’t have to worry about paying back your debts in the future!”
Mary had a worried look on her face. “Fabien, you don’t have much money in your hands, right? Where are you going to get 75 thousand dollars in one week?!”
Fabien was silent. He had no other choice. Although he was not afraid of those hooligans, he was also worried that if he forced them into a corner, they might do something that would harm Mary.
Thus, he could only shoulder the debt first. As for how to repay the debt, he hadn’t thought about it yet.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do,” Fabien said with a smile. As he spoke, he patted Mary’s shoulder to comfort her.
When Fabien patted her shoulder, Mary’s pretty face couldn’t help but turn red again.
At this moment, her heart was pounding. Was Fabien helping her so much because he wanted something from him?
