The two of them glared at Jason. They got even angrier when they didn't find any policemen, and it was just Jason's ploy to stop them from hitting the old man.
"Who are you?" asked one of them.
"I am a nobody! But I won't let people like you torture old people like this," Jason replied.
The two burly men laughed.
Bugs! Bugs!
Without warning, the two men attacked Jason brutally. With a little martial arts training, Jason fights the two men. It wasn't easy for Jason to beat them; even the corners of Jason's lips were injured from the attacks of the two men. However, Jason finally managed to defeat them and repel both of them.
"Get out of here! And don't come back again!" drive Jason away angrily.
Jason helped the grandfather stand up and carried him into the rickety house. The grandfather lived alone.
Jason began to help care for grandfather's weak body. With the ability that he had attended first aid training at his college before, Jason began to clean the blood on the corner of grandfather's lips when Jason examined his teeth until they fell out because of the rough treatment of the two people earlier.
Jason felt that Grandpa's condition was really bad, so he looked for the doctor closest to Grandpa's house and invited him to check on Grandpa's condition. With the little money left, he paid for the grandfather's medical expenses. So now Jason really doesn't have a penny. It didn't matter to him; the most important thing now was that he had to save the old man.
The two people turned out to be messengers from a man named Addison, who was none other than the grandpa's son. He asked for a certificate of property owned by the grandfather.
Jason just shook his head because he thought the grandpa's son was really cruel. Grandpa, who lives in a shabby house, starts to decrepit. His son still wanted to drain his wealth, and Jason was sure that the grandfather's only treasure was a house that was almost collapsing.
"What's your name, son?" asked the weak grandfather.
"Jason, Grandpa."
Jason introduced himself, and for some reason he later explained why he came to this city: he was told by his father to look for someone named Dagfinn.
While his grandfather was in a weak condition, he only nodded and watched Jason from head to toe.
"Where is Eadric now?" asked the grandfather, mentioning the name of his father, Jason.
Jason was surprised to find that the grandfather knew his father.
"Grandfather knew my father?" asked Jason curiously.
The old man just nodded and tried to smile as he stared into Jason's eyes. He then told me that they were old friends. Incidentally, which is God's destiny, the grandfather who was helped by Jason turned out to be Dagfinn, the person he was looking for.
"Father passed away, Grandpa, one year ago," Jason replied, looking down.
"Before he died, he left a message for me to look for my grandfather in this city," continued Jason.
With a weak body, Grandpa Dagfinn hugged Jason's body tightly. Even he sobbed.
"I'm sorry," Dagfinn's grandfather said many times, which made Jason even more confused by Dagfinn's grandfather's apology.
Until a few days later, Jason took care of Dagfinn's grandfather and came to live with him. Jason realized he didn't have any more money. His current treasure is just a simple cell phone. Jason wasn't sure if he should sell his phone or what. Because she couldn't stay at Dagfinn's grandfather's house forever either.
"Grandpa, Jason said goodbye today, Grandpa. Jason wants to find a job," Jason said after Dagfinn's grandfather's condition had really improved.
Finally, Dagfinn's grandfather was unable to persuade Jason to stay with him, even though Dagfinn repeatedly tried to persuade Jason to stay. But Jason refused. He didn't want to be a burden to Dagfinn, who was also old.
Jason promised in his heart that he would still help Grandpa Dagfinn, and he would come often to make sure Grandpa was okay. and now he needs a job that can make him a living.
After leaving Dagfinn's house, Jason chose to apply for jobs that pay immediately so he could eat. As for where to live, Jason chooses wherever it is important not to get wet and flooded. He has experienced his adoptive father living in slum houses and even cardboard houses for decades.
Jason arrived at a traditional market, hoping that one of the stores would accept him.
"I want to apply for a job; can it be anything?" Jason asked the owner of a very large and busiest grocery store in the market.
After paying attention to Jason's appearance for a while, the shop owner finally accepted Jason to become a porter in his shop, whose job was to carry the store's goods to consumers or wherever the boss requested. He worked freelance daily, so he could get paid immediately to make a living. Every afternoon, Jason would get paid thirty thousand.
Tonight Jason rested his body in a small flat room located behind the market, which he rented daily as a place to rest his body from the tiredness of working all day. He missed Esme, but every time he called, Esme's number was always off. And Jason was sure that Esme's cellphone would have been confiscated by Damien.
"I hope you are doing well, Esme. Right now, I can't afford to come pick you up," Jason muttered to himself as his eyes closed in the middle of the night.
The harsh life has trained Jason to be able to adapt wherever he is. After only a few days of working in the market, Jason already knows so many fellow scavengers in the market. A market where there are many opportunities for crimes to occur, including when a luxury car was mined by thugs. I do not know what the purpose of the luxury car that crossed the traditional market was.
A man who Jason knew very well got out of the car; his car tire burst, and he did not realize it was the intention of the market thugs to destroy the victims' property, with the mode of helping to replace the car's tire with a spare tire.
The man who owns the luxury car is Damien, his father-in-law. And at that time, several thugs began to launch their actions towards Damien.
Jason couldn't let this happen, and this time again he came closer and shouted to stop the thugs from looting Damien's property.
"Hey you guys, stop!" he shouted.
****
"Why? You know him?" asked one of the thugs while frowning.Jason just nodded weakly. He was racking his brain to get the right reasons for the thugs. Because he couldn't possibly admit that the person was his father-in-law, of course the thugs wouldn't believe it.Jason walked closer to the side of the road."Who's he?" asked the others to Jason. They were also surprised that the new kid working in this market even knew someone rich with a luxury car."He was my former employer before I worked in this market; he is a good person. Please don't disturb him; I'm sorry he's seriously ill right now," said Jason.Damien looked wide-eyed when he heard what Jason said; his trash son-in-law even said he was sick. Though he was in good condition. Damien was very emotional hearing this, but he also felt that his current condition was being threatened. Damien understood what Jason meant when he saw some of the thugs starting to look into his valuables and also into his car.One of them asked for
"What kind of joke is this?" muttered Jason as he read the message.Jason still looked confused, but a smile appeared on his face. He knows this world is getting more sophisticated. Even the impostor does not discriminate in his intentions."He doesn't know that his target is poorer than them," chuckled Jason as he turned off his cellphone screen and put the simple cellphone into his trouser pocket.He was about to continue his work, finishing up by lifting a few more sacks of rice. Jason hopes that this job will be finished quickly; his shoulders and hands feel so numb, and it's like he can't finish this job. Lifting tens of sacks of rice, which was only done by the three of them."Huft, finally finished," Jason muttered as he finished lifting the last sack.He will soon give his body the right to rest. Waiting for the afternoon, they will usually lie down on a bamboo bed provided by the shop owner next to the shop under a cherry tree. They usually enjoy drinks and food provided by t
Jason still chose silence, and he sighed heavily. There was a feeling of tightness and anger that he was currently holding back.According to his heart, his emotions could no longer be contained because of the insults from the two security guards.While the two security guards were still holding back their laughter, they saw Jason, who was nervous."It's been said that Ms. Ainsley won't want to be disturbed; she still wants to force it. You are nobody in Ainsley's eyes," said the security guard, who was greeted with insults from his colleague."Has Mrs. Ainsley come?" Jason asked later, still trying to be friendly to the two security guards.They even laughed uproariously."Yes, that's clear. Mrs. Ainsley is the person who is the most on time and arrives the earliest!" replied one of the security guards.Jason looked like he was sighing; he was a little surprised when Ainsley came because, while he was at the post, he didn't see Ainsley come and enter the office."And it seems that yo
"What is this?" asked Jason in surprise while accepting the paper in Ainsley's hand."You can read, right?" asked Ainsley sarcastically.Jason took a deep breath, then began to read the message on the single sheet of paper.How shocked Jason was when he read the letter. It turns out it was a letter from Grandpa Dagfinn saying that the Dalton Company and its other subsidiaries started at that time under the leadership of Jason Mairer. And all property ownership is in Jason's name, such as a luxurious house located on the side of the main road, including a rickety house adjoining the luxury house.After reading the letter, Jason looked at Ainsley sharply."Is it serious?" Jason asked, not believing what he was reading."You have a brain to think, right? You think this is a joke?" Ainsley was annoyed as he stomped his pen on the glass table."But why?" muttered Jason in surprise.Jason couldn't stop thinking about everything. It turned out that Dagfinn's grandfather was a rich man, and v
"You are crazy?" Jason asked Ainsley."I didn't make it! Don't be careless; I'm just conveying a message!" shouted Ainsley angrily. She actually didn't know anything about it because, indeed, he was just conveying a message from Mr. Dagfinn."How can I be asked to return to the wrong person's path when I don't even know his path?" Jason was annoyed while brushing his hair roughly.Ainsley watched Jason's face with a smile, then just shook his head."You don't know Mr. Dagfinn's son yet?" asked Ainsley then. Because almost everyone in Dalton knows Addison, the only son of Dalton's owner. Not even a small amount of property had been spent by Addison, and at this time, if Mr. Dagfinn did not give Addison the inheritance rights, it was very reasonable. Moreover, Mr. Dagfinn told Ainsley that Jason was a good man and was the one who dared to help him when he was almost finished off by Addison's hired thugs."I don't even know who it is!" answered Jason, frustrated."Later he will definitel
"Later you will know who Mr. Dagfinn is; it is clear that he believes in you," said Ainsley with a smile.After feeling that there was nothing to talk about, Ainsley motioned for Jason to leave his room. And in order to immediately come to Dalton and not let DaltonAfter Dalton, Jason returned to the market where he worked. He wanted to leave the shop; however, when he arrived at the shop, he had not had time to explain the purpose of his arrival; the shop owner had ordered him to pick up flour sacks.Without arguing, Jason continued to do his job, even though the clothes he wore were slightly different from usual. While lifting the flour unexpectedly, Esme suddenly came to the market."Jason," Esme repeated as she drew closer.Jason's face reddened when their eyes met. Jason was embarrassed by his current state in front of his wife. Jason felt like a useless husband.Meanwhile, the burden that is on Jason's shoulders has been taken over by Budi because it was indeed the last sack for
"That's your money, Esme," Jason said quietly."Aren't we husband and wife? We have the right to live together and enjoy the money we have," Esme said, still persuading Jason.Jason seemed speechless hearing Esme's request, for Jason returning to the Damien family's house was the same as licking his own spit. Jason will never return to the Damien family's home."Sorry, I haven't been able to return to your family home, and I also can't use your money to rent a house. Give me time to find a home on my own, and I'll come get you, honey," Jason said, looking at Esme lovingly.However, Jason didn't dare touch Esme in the slightest. He was insecure about his dirty and smelly body, whereas Esme looked clean and smelled good."Jason, I know you are a hard worker, but for now, let's use the available money. You can think of borrowing if you don't want to be seen as borrowing money from me. You can pay at any time, and most importantly, we will live together. Isn't it true that husband and wif
Who?" asked Esme in a half-whisper while smoothing her messy hair.Jason shook his head. He took the clothes hanging on the wall and put them on in a hurry.Jason then made sure that the clothes worn by Esme were neat again; there were no exposed parts. Because Jason didn't want anyone to see some red marks made by him on Esme's white and smooth body,"I'm scared," Esme said softly, holding Jason's hand tightly."Don't worry, no one can hurt you. I will protect you, even if it costs your life," Jason answered softly, then kissed Esme's forehead gently. Jason hugged Esme tightly to give his wife peace."Quickly open the door!" shouted a voice from outside for some time.The rented door kept banging on many times before Jason opened the door. Jason approached the door, followed by Esme's footsteps from behind, who held Jason's arm tightly. Esme's hands seemed to be sweating coldly from fright."Could it be Papa's messenger?" whispered Esme again, who kept clinging to Jason's body
