The Heir's Revenge

Special Savings Book

Axel's steps were halted as a middle-aged woman not only called out but tugged on Axel's hand, "Looks like you dropped something, here." The woman pointed an item towards Axel.

    Axel turned his head and nodded because what had fallen was a passbook that Mr. Bastian had given him this morning.

"Thank you, ma'am."

    Axel grabbed the item as he smiled kindly at the woman, while Katrina who saw it frowned. She remembered that Axel didn't have any money, let alone savings, but Katrina didn't think much of it; whether Axel had savings or not was none of her business.

    Once at the bus stop, Katrina and Axel walked up some stairs. Katrina's apartment was a little further from the city. When they arrived at the door of her apartment, Katrina thanked Axel for his kind gesture.

"Where are you going after this, Xel?" she asked, giving him a glancing at him.

"You don't have to think about me, go inside. It's so cold."

    Katrina nodded slowly and waved her hand as the handsome man was about to leave.

    The next day, the sunlight was able to dazzle her eyes which were closed. Axel who was sleeping under a city bridge woke up, it felt like only a few hours ago he had closed his eyes but now the morning was approaching.

"Where do I go now? Will there anyone be willing to hire a fugitive like me."

    He was getting dizzy. His head hurt so much thinking about the endless problems that had befallen him. The next second, he suddenly remembered the passbook Mr. Bastian had given him. Then, he reached into his pants pocket. pants that he had not changed in almost two days. He took out the passbook that he had wanted to throw away.

    Axel rushed to check it and was surprised when he saw the nominal numbers written in the savings book. There were so many zeros in the passbook.

"This is serious..."

    In disbelief, the man kept rubbing his eyes, if only he was still affected by his subconscious.

    After checking the passbook, Axel began to wonder if he should go to the bank to make sure the passbook was real or not.

    On the one hand, he was afraid of being pranked by the man named Bastian. But on the other hand he also thought about Berry's demands on him, it was very dangerous not if Katrina had to serve the man to alleviate his punishment. Axel knew very well what a girl like Katrina was like especially since the girl felt indebted to Axel.

"I'm afraid Katrina will do something stupid."

"Ah, what a fool! Whether I'm being played by Mr. Bastian or not it's to pay Berry's demands so Katrina won't do anything."

Quickly, Axel rushed from the bridge to Morghan Bank as indicated in the passbook. After arriving there, Axel just stood there. Staring silently at the skyscraper in front of him. He was completely dumbfounded by the huge, super-luxurious building. Never in his life had he entered such a tall building.

    It was different from other banks, he had once accompanied his wife to the bank but not as grand and luxurious as this. Morgan Bank was designed for the elite only, they had at most a billion dollars in their accounts.

"Is this savings account real?"

    Axel wondered as he continued to look at the savings book he was holding. He hesitated, looking at the rectangular object again.

    At first, he was so pessimistic, that he was worried. He would be humiliated by the bank staff. A poor man claiming to have savings of over a billion dollars. Axel could already imagine what kind of ridicule he would probably receive when standing in front of the teller counter later.

    Berry and Katrina's faces filled his head again and again, just how urgent Berry's demands were yesterday. Axel was sure that the man would punish him severely with a lot of evidence that he had manipulated.

Axel also determined his steps to approach the Morgan Bank building as soon as possible, after going inside, Axel's presence had become the center of attention because the people present there looked so elegant, unlike Axel with a shabby appearance. Some of them sneered at Axel.

"Isn't it wrong that Morghan Bank can be missed like this? How could a beggar enter here," said a woman.

"I don't know, this place will stink because of that beggar," continued her friend. The two women fanned their hands while covering their noses.

    But their pouting didn't last long as Axel looked at them sharply, making the two women frightened. Surely the two women wanted to leave Axel's presence.

U"Let's get out of here quickly, instead of catching the stench of a hobo." Then the two women disappeared from Axel's sight.

    After facing the two women, Axel would now face other shabby humans, especially the bank tellers, none of whom wanted to serve him because they saw Axel's shabby appearance. He was shuffled here and there

"Excuse me, I'm serving a customer," a woman snapped at first when there was no one in front of her.

    Axel was a bit surprised but could understand it considering everyone was wearing fancy clothes while he wasn't, so he tried to move to the next table.

And so on until the five tellers he explored, what infuriated Axel the most was that the first and second tellers were even accepting customers who had just arrived, making Axel's emotions.

"Damn it! You guys are looking down on me, just because I look like this, huh."

    Axel got up from his seat, approached the teller, and pulled the male teller's collar. Axel had been trying to hold back his emotions since earlier but the sickening thing just happened again and again until it made his patience disappear.

    Seeing the incident, one of the male teller's friends called security until Axel finally took out his savings book and threw it at the woman.

"I came here to withdraw money, not to make a scene."

    Axel's emotions were already starting to boil in his head, he felt ostracized because of his shabby appearance. He had just found out that this Morgan Bank was a conglomerate but that didn't mean he was treated like that by the tellers.

"Is it just because I look like this that you are reluctant to serve me, huh."

    While the female teller quickly took a good look at the passbook Axel threw at her, her eyes rounded so completely at the sight that her mouth gaped open.
