Newton frantically searched his pockets but found nothing, his anxiety growing. He looked back to see the doctor and nurse behind him, both wearing sheepish smiles."Is there a problem, sir?" the voice behind the counter asked."Not at all," Newton replied, continuing his fruitless search.Suddenly, a realization struck him. He wasn't coming from home; he had just escaped a war zone, stripped of his belongings."Can I use your phone for a moment?" Newton asked the doctor with a hopeful smile."Sure, anything for you, sir!" the doctor replied kindly.Newton dialed Grinch's number, desperately hoping for a solution."Grinch, this is Newton," he said urgently.Before Grinch could respond, Newton blurted out, "Bring fifty thousand dollars in cash to Green Tree Hospital!""Okay boss," came the swift reply.Newton turned to return the phone to the doctor, a glimmer of hope in his eyes."I'm sorry, we don't accept cash here. You should deposit the cash before paying with your card," the voice
Newton and his men regrouped inside the Maybach, which they had entered after his injury had been treated. A heavy silence enveloped them, but it was broken by Grinch, who expressed their relief at having Newton back. He apologized for what Newton had endured at the hands of the Lees, referring to them as "filthy."Curiosity sparked among the men, and they asked about "Big Boss," seeking an update. Newton, avoiding direct eye contact, deflected their question, mentioning that he would discuss it later. His heart sank as the haunting image of his father being shot by Drax replayed in his mind like a movie.Another member of the group inquired about Drax, as if they were able to read Newton's thoughts and wanted to know what had become of him. Newton remained silent, not offering any response, and they respected his silence, sensing his inner turmoil.After a while, they arrived at their destination, Newton's home. As Newton stepped out of the car, he was greeted by a legion of Nort g
Newton arrived at school on Monday morning, just in time for his class to begin. However, as he took his seat, his classmates greeted him with taunts of "Broke boy!" and mocking remarks about his absence from school. They joked about him getting caught up in the construction site and forgetting about his studies. One classmate even sarcastically asked for his autograph, commenting on his supposed popularity as the "broke" student.Amidst the laughter and jeers, Robert approached Newton, trying to shield him from the unwanted attention. He asked, "Hey Newt! Tell me about your little break from school." Newton chose not to respond and quietly returned to his seat, hoping to escape the scrutiny.During class, the instructor assigned a group project that required teams of twelve students. Newton's group was changed five times before the instructor settled on one. Some students complained about having Newton in their group, claiming he would slow them down or that he couldn't afford the
Newton and Robert arrived at the SID automobile company, only to find their friends stranded at the gate, being denied entry.Curious about the situation, Newton and Robert walked over to join them at the gate."What's the problem?" Newton inquired, seeking clarity."Why don't you go sit somewhere while Jeremiah works on it?" Tonya snapped at Newton, her words filled with hostility.Newton stared at her blankly for a few seconds, not fully comprehending the animosity directed towards him. Tonya, realizing her harsh response, felt a pang of embarrassment."Yeah, go sit somewhere, broke boy!" Jeremiah chimed in, his tone dripping with disdain.Taking a deep breath, Newton tried to diffuse the tension. "Relax, we are all here for the same reason."Newton couldn't help but wonder why Jeremiah had chosen the SID automobile company to obtain the necessary parts for their digital scale. Surely they could have found what they needed at smaller shops and at a more affordable price."Do we even
Nicolas raised his hand to ask a question."What is the lowest price of a car produced by SID Automobile?" Nicolas inquired.Engr. Theo responded, "The lowest-priced vehicle we offer is $30,000, and it happens to be a forklift. Our vehicles are designed to be affordable while maintaining the highest quality for everyday uses.""Affordable indeed," Nicolas snorted sarcastically.Engr. Theo glanced at him but chose not to provide a direct response. Instead, he spoke in general terms, emphasizing that the pricing reflects the value customers receive.Jeremiah chimed in, "I think you should raise the prices of your cars. They are too cheap!"The girls looked at him with admiration, while Allison added, "That means Newton here will be able to afford one after sixty years!"Engr. Theo looked at Allison quizzically, seeking clarification."Who is Newton?" he asked.He wanted to ensure she wasn't referring to his billionaire boss."This broke-i-o right here," Allison replied, pointing her fing
"Where will you get off?" Robert inquired as the taxi continued its journey."Before I get home," Newton responded, intentionally vague."Why? Are you not going home today?" Robert probed further, his curiosity evident."Does it matter?" Newton countered, not revealing his true intentions.Despite passing Robert's street, Robert seemed unfazed by the fact."Robert, we passed your street," Newton reminded him, hoping to redirect the cab."Oh, I know. I want to stop over there," Robert replied, gesturing vaguely to an ambiguous location."...Okay," Newton reluctantly agreed, playing along with Robert's nosiness.As minutes turned into thirty, the cab continued on its way, and Newton's suspicion grew. He had initially planned to disembark near his house and take another cab to Green Tree Hospital without Robert's knowledge. However, it appeared that Robert was determined to stick around.Both men remained silent in the cab until Newton finally broke the silence."Where exactly is the 'ove
"What kind of stupid question is that? Who are you to ask me such a question?" the receptionist furiously lashed out at Newton, incensed by his inquiry.Attempting to diffuse the situation, the nurse intervened, advising the receptionist, "Calm down, this is a hospital. You shouldn't raise your voice like that."Unrelenting in her anger, the receptionist continued berating Newton, "Who does this guy think he is? You don't employ me, okay? You have no right to talk to me like that. You can't come in without a visitor's pass. I would have felt sorry for you and let you in, but your stupid arrogance made me change my mind," she shouted at him.Newton was taken aback and rendered speechless by the receptionist's outburst. He was stunned by the intensity of her reaction."There must be different kinds of people in this world," he thought, contemplating the diverse range of personalities he encountered.Unable to find words to respond, Newton remained silent.Refusing to back down, the recep
"Boss, the Lees set fire to one of our clothing factories in Bayfield," Grinch reported to Newton.Newton inquired, "Any casualties?"Grinch responded, "None reported, sir. However, the entire factory and all the equipment inside were burned to the ground. They were looking for something, sir."Newton contemplated for a moment and then turned to Grinch, asking, "What do you suggest we do?"Grinch exclaimed, pounding his fist against his palm, "I think we should fight back, sir. Let's destroy five of Mr. Lee's restaurants around Bayfield."Curious, Newton questioned Grinch, "Are you certain it was the Lees?"Grinch replied, "Eyewitnesses claim to have seen the Lee boys attack the factory today after ransacking the place in search of an item, sir."Newton responded, "First, we need to ensure their responsibility. Starting a senseless gang war would be unwise. I intend to confront Mr. Lee, but not in this manner."Grinch asked, "What are your orders, sir?"Newton emphasized, "First, we ca
