Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 352 Was It A Scam All Along?

Chapter 352 Was It a Scam All Along?

The mischievous kid actually spat at him?

What a brat! Clearly not taught any manners!

But Lachlan couldn't stoop to the level of a seven or eight-year-old, so he looked towards the kid's dad.

As the saying goes, "If you don't teach your child, it's your fault as a parent."

If his son spat at someone else, shouldn't the dad apologize?

However, at this moment, that bald-headed man in his thirties just smiled and looked at Lachlan without any indication of apology.

He even glanced greedily and jealously at Miranda.

Lachlan's face immediately darkened and he spoke coldly, "Dude, your kid spat on me. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Miranda also glared angrily at both father and son.

Nora clenched her fists with an angry expression on her face as if ready to fight.

"A child doesn't know better. You're not going to argue with a child, are you?"

"That's being too petty," said the baldy man nonchalantly.

He even turned around and accused Lachlan from his moral high ground for being unreasonable when his own child was young and didn't know better.

Upon hearing this remark, all three of them showed anger in their expressions.

Nora had an especially fierce look on her face as she wanted to hit the chubby boy.

Lachlan protected Nora by pulling her back, "Nora, don't hit anyone." He didn't want Nora getting into trouble for hitting someone despite how much training she had undergone under him which made her stronger than most martial artists in their early stages of training.

Lachlan repeatedly warned Nora not to fight with other kids in kindergarten easily but still felt uneasy about what could happen if she punched this chubby boy now that they were out here causing trouble.

"What are you doing? Little girlie! Do you want me to beat you up?" The chubby boy raised his chin arrogantly while speaking out loud.

The baldy man sneered contemptuously while looking down upon Lachlan, "What? Can't handle playing games like ring toss so now we have real-life combat?"

Lachlan snorted coldly, "Who told you I can't handle it?"

"Oh? Then let's compare. Who can wrap more and better things?"

"Dare you?"

"What's the point of talking here? If you have the guts, win some good stuff for your wife and daughter!"

"Everyone, what do you think?" The man challenged, shouting at the onlookers.

The crowd was just there to watch a show and didn't mind getting involved in something big. They immediately joined in with cheers.

At this moment, the vendor exchanged glances with the man before walking over with a smile on his face. He tried to act as a mediator and advised Lachlan, "Bro, we're all here to have fun. Don't get angry now."

He continued, "Why don't you two compete? If you win against him, it'll be considered winning some face for your wife and daughter too! Isn't that better than nothing?"

"That's right! Let's compare! Dare you?" The man sneered.

Lachlan remained calm but looked meaningfully at both the vendor and man after their brief eye contact earlier couldn't escape his notice.

Ha... so this guy was working for this vendor? Lachlan guessed correctly that they were working together to incite customers' spending by provoking them further if they came with their wives or children.

There was once a guy who spent over 800 dollars because of his provocations.

"Daddy..." Nora tugged at Lachlan's hand expectantly while looking up at him with her big eyes.

"Lachlan, why not compete against him? What are we afraid of?" Miranda gritted her teeth as she wanted Lachlan to help his daughter win back some pride.

"Okay!" Lachlan nodded smilingly before taking off what he had hanging around his body temporarily.

In no time he said coldly towards the man, "Just comparing like this is boring; why don't we bet something?"

The man raised an eyebrow curiously while sizing up Lachlan from head-to-toe before asking disdainfully, "What do we bet?"

"How about buying an equal number of hoops; then let's see who can wrap more things better! If I win, then I'll take your son's Transformers toy for my daughter; then ask your son to apologize on behalf of himself."

"If you win," added Lachlan confidently, "I'll give you one thousand dollar cash instead."

Hearing these words made the man's eyes light up greedily as he agreed without hesitation.

A hint of greed flashed across his face when he heard about money being involved in addition to winning toys.

He worked under the stall owner, and his accuracy in throwing the hoops was much higher than that of an average person. He had absolute confidence that he could beat Lachlan!

The guy sneered inwardly, thinking that he never expected to earn extra income tonight besides getting paid by the stall owner.

"Alright! Boss, give me ten dollars' worth," Lachlan smiled and said to the stall owner.

Upon hearing this, there was an immediate chorus of boos from the crowd.

The stall owner replied coldly, "Bro, are you really going to buy just ten dollars' worth? Three hoops for ten dollars. What can you even catch?"

The guy also mocked him, "Exactly! Are you too scared to compete with me properly? Ten dollars for three hoops. You won't catch anything at all. You'll just say it's a tie then? Hahaha..."

"Your dad is such a coward! Ptooey...," added the chubby kid as he taunted Nora again.

Lachlan remained expressionless and said calmly, "Let's start with ten dollars' worth. If we don't succeed in catching anything, we'll continue until there's a winner."

Hearing this proposal made the guy laugh out loud, "Sounds good!"

With disdainful eyes towards Lachlan, the stall owner gave both him and the guy three hoops each.

In his mind, he thought that Lachlan looked like someone who pretended to be rich but was actually poor?

What a pity, such a beautiful wife beside him too. She must have been blind!

At this point not only did he think so but many onlookers also had similar thoughts about Lachlan looking cheap while playing with only ten-dollar rings.

Looking at Miranda next to him...

For someone like her goddess-like beauty-wise how many big bosses would kneel down and lick her feet? Why would she choose such an ungenerous man?

"Daddy, go for it!" Nora shouted towards Lachlan full of confidence in her father as always. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Miranda also looked at Lachlan with anticipation-filled eyes; although it was just a small game, it felt fresh and exciting for her as CEO of their company mainly because she wanted Lachlan to win back some pride by beating up those two guys who were mocking them earlier on.

"I mean which one do you want?" The guy asked jokingly now.

"If I'm going for one," replied Lachlan nonchalantly while smiling faintly now. "It will definitely be one that is most valuable."
