Translator: 549690339

“Young Master.” Fishy Wells hesitated, turned her head to glance at Finn Lewis and started to speak.

“That police officer.” Finn Lewis helplessly shook his head, then headed towards the three traffic officers.

“Mr. Lewis, just state whatever demands you have.” Harvey Clarke glanced at Uncle Turner, then couldn’t help but say, “Looking at the situation, why don’t you think about lessening the punishment a bit.”

Finn Lewis shook his head, just about to speak, when he heard Harvey Clarke urgently interject, “Mr. Lewis, even if you don’t reduce it, he can’t afford the compensation.”

Finn Lewis didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because that was not what he meant by shaking his head. He quickly spoke up, “Err, Officer, you misunderstood me, I didn’t mean that. Here’s what, can I handle this?” After saying this, he didn’t wait for the policeman’s response and walked straight towards the middle-aged man.

“Uncle… Uncle Turner.” Finn Lewis came in front of the middle-aged man. He wanted to call him Mr. Turner, but it didn’t sound right, so he changed it to Uncle Turner, which he found easier to say.

The middle-aged man didn’t seem to have heard Finn Lewis. He remained hunched over with his hands over his head, whimpering quietly.

“Mr. Lewis, wait a moment.” The foreman next to them quickly waved at Finn

Lewis, then briskly patted the middle-aged man’s shoulder, “Mr. Wells, hey,

Mr. Wells, he’s calling you.”

“Huh?” Mr. Wells finally released his hands and lifted his head, appearing somewhat dazed as he looked around. Only then did he see Finn Lewis. “Uncle Turner, look, I’m the owner of that car. You see, these tools fell off your cart, and although it was unintentional, it can’t be ignored that you were careless. Let’s do it this way. I know you can’t afford the compensation. So, tell me, how much money do you have?” Finn Lewis asked with a smile.

“Uh…” Mr. Wells looked panicked, not understanding what Finn Lewis meant by his words.

However, the foreman beside him already figured it out. Finn Lewis clearly had no intention to make things difficult for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come over to talk. The foreman swiftly kicked the middle-aged man a couple of times and hastily said, “He’s asking you, how much money do you have on you?

Quick, take it out.”

“Ah, right. I… This is all I have.” Mr. Wells finally snapped out of his daze, hurriedly taking out a stack of money from his worn-out pocket. Surprisingly, it was quite a hefty sum, around four to five thousand Flame Nation coins. “I… this is all I have.” Mr. Wells looked at Finn Lewis nervously.

“Mr. Lewis, I can vouch for him, that’s all he has. We happen to have received our wages recently, just this morning.” The foreman quickly explained.

“This is all I have… I didn’t have the chance to deposit it. It’s all the money I have.” Mr. Wells quickly agreed,

A few of his co-workers standing behind them also fished out piles of money from their pockets and quickly handed them over. Even the foreman took out six to seven thousand dollars from his pocket and handed it over. “Mr. Lewis, this is all we managed to gather.”

Looking at the stacks of Flame Nation coins littered with dust, Finn Lewis knew these were probably one or two months’ wages for these workers. But they had all handed them over just like that.

Finn Lewis squatted on the ground, tilted his head, and thought for a bit, then pushed back the money from the foreman and Mr. Wells’ other co-workers. He took the stack of money from Mr. Wells’ hand, split it in half, and stuffed the other half back into Mr. Wells’ hand.

After doing this, he started to speak, “Uncle Turner, although it’s an accident, let’s just treat it as an accident. You don’t need to compensate for my car, but I still want to take this money from you as a reminder. This is about 2000 yuan. For you, Uncle Turner, it might take half a month’s work to earn, so taking this money will probably make you be more careful in future. Consider it a paid lesson. As for my car, you don’t need to compensate me, I will handle it myself. ”

Having said that, Finn Lewis stood up, smiled and put the money into his pocket. Seeing Mr. Wells still looking stunned, the foreman couldn’t help but kick him again, “Aren’t you going to thank him quickly? Thank you, Mr. Lewis.” He took the initiative to thank Finn Lewis on behalf of Mr. Wells.

“Thank you, thank you… thank you, Mr. Lewis.” Mr. Wells finally snapped out of his trance, hastily got up from the ground and rushed to thank Finn. While thanking him, he continuously bowed to Finn Lewis.

Amidst the crowd of onlookers, a sudden cheer of “good!” was heard, followed by warm applause. Others quickly understood and soon there were successive cheers and applause. Even the traffic officers couldn’t resist clapping.

Finn Lewis chuckled, saluted the crowd around him, then returned to his car where the two Alpha Martin owners were still standing. After consideration, he reached into his pocket again, drew out a check, quickly wrote on it and smilingly handed it to one of the Alpha Martin owners: “Here’s 50,000 yuan. I’m not sure how much it’ll cost to repair your car, but it doesn’t look too serious, it should be enough. I’ll foot the bill.”

“Buddy, you’re very magnanimous. I won’t accept your money. I’ll fix it myself, after all, I have insurance. The damage wasn’t too severe, just a few thousand yuan. I can handle it myself.” The Alpha Martin owner was also interesting. Seeing Finn wanting to give him money, he refused with a smile.

Finn Lewis grinned, “Well, just take it. After all, I was the one who hit your car. You shouldn’t be the one bearing the cost.” He pushed the check into the Alpha Martin owner’s hand.

“However, I don’t have any cash, so all I have is this check. You can call the bank to verify it.” Finn Lewis said again.

“No need, well then, I’ll accept it.” The Alpha Martin owner hesitated for a moment and then accepted it readily.

“Officer, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first. The car workshop guys, can you come over? We will be moving the car now. It doesn’t affect the car’s driving, we have some business to attend to. You can come and collect it later once we’ve reached the destination.” Finn Lewis turned and spoke to the traffic officer and the car shop attendees.

“Sure, sure, Mr. Lewis, you just need to call us and we will pick up the car.” The car workshop staff naturally had no objections.

“Officers, we’ll get going then.” Finn Lewis said.

“Mr. Lewis, since you’ve decided not to pursue this matter, could you please provide your contact details and fill in the accident handling form? This will allow us to keep a record.” Harvey Clarke smiled as he spoke to Finn Lewis. While Harvey had seen many wealthy individuals, very few were as magnanimous as Finn Lewis..
