A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 618

The man's face was swollen like a pig's—it was quite the hilarious sight.

Cordy had to restrain herself from laughing out loud, and she turned back to Lucas.

That minor bruising on his face was really nothing in comparison.

"I'm not." Cordy denied it then.

"Whatever. He's either apologizing to me, or I'm suing!"

"What I did was legal self-defense," Lucas retorted slowly and sharpply.

"Self-defense?! When you left me like this?!"

The man became even more agitated, and the officer nearby had to bark, "Keep it down!"

The man calmed down a little but still growled indignantly, "How is it self-defense if I ended up like this?"

"It's self-defense even if the other guy is dead," Lucas said coolly.

"S-See?! Officer, he wants to kill me! Why should I settle?!" The man appeared relentless.

"Enough!" The officer barked at the man impatiently before turning toward Cordy. "Your friend got drunk and got involved in a fistfight at the bar, and he refused to apologize or pay compensation. If this continues, we'll have to hand this over to a court of law and keep your friend in custody until then."

"Alright, I'll talk to him."

The officer nodded, while Cordy turned toward Lucas.

The man seemed to read her intention the instant he saw the look in her eye, and he promptly said, "Don't even think about it."

"Whatever. Get over here. We need to talk alone."

Cordy walked over to a corner.

Lucas hesitated for a moment, but he eventually followed.

"Why won't you apologize?" Cordy asked.
