The Last Voyage

Chapter 3: Regret

The next morning, Kent went to work in a very good mood. He didn't go to the office, but went straight to the manager's room - Steve.

Kent walked into the room, saw Steve hugging Ann Reed in the office, not at all thinking that this was a workplace.

Seeing Ann Reed being embraced by Steve with such affection, but inwardly Kent only felt a little sad and then calmed down.

Since last night Kent has thought through everything, so now he is only a little sad, then he does not pay attention to Ann Reed and Steve anymore. What's not mine isn't mine anyway, plus he has a lot of work to do in the remaining 6 months, not enough time to pay attention to hateful things.

Kent glanced at the two of them, Steve and Ann Reed when they saw Kent enter the room, they showed more emotional actions, seemingly mainly for Kent to see.

Kent frowned, knowing what these two were thinking felt funny. These two are like children, thinking that doing this will make me angry, will make me lose control?

Kent shook his head and said, "I want to quit."

When Steve heard that, he frowned and shouted: "Retire? You think this place is a market, you can come if you want to come, you can go if you want to go?"

Ann Reed sitting next to Steve hastily rubbed Steve's chest and said, "Darling, don't be angry."

Then, Ann Reed turned to Kent and yelled at Kent: “How's it going? Do you regret it? If he gets on his knees and apologizes to me, I can tell Steve that I won't give him a hard time, so he can work here safely. Kent, you should know there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who are willing to do anything to get a job in this company. Think again."

Kent laughed and said: "No need to think, I want to quit. Besides, working for a stupid manager is not what I want.”

"W-what did you say?" Angry Steve stood up. Steve's appearance is a bit small, about 170cm tall, blond hair, a bit thin, wearing a white suit, his appearance is extremely handsome. Steve's appearance is typical of the rich guys who have attractive looks to women.

Kent didn't say anything, his fist swung out and punched Steve in the face. Steve was hit suddenly and couldn't resist and was knocked backwards.

Don't despise Kent, you must know that he is an orphan, soon went out into the society to make money, so there have been many conflicts, even fights.

So, although Kent has never studied martial arts, he still has very good reflexes and fighting ability. A man living in luxury like Steve can't be equal to Kent.

Steve was hit with a punch and spit his nose, his teeth fell out, his mind was dizzy and didn't know what was happening around.

Ann Reed was startled and shouted: “K-Kent! What are you doing? Do you know who Steve is? It's the CEO's son. You will surely die, you will be…”

Ann Reed who was speaking also had to be quiet because Kent's current face was too scary. His expressionless face looked straight at her and said, “Ann Reed, you should be glad I didn't hit you. Well, not because I still love you but because I feel like hitting you will dirty my hands.”

“I-I…” Ann Reed stammered, unsure of what to say.

Kent smiled scornfully and said: “I quit, not out of anger, but because I felt this company didn't deserve someone like me. If a scum like you could be in this company, I wouldn't want to be here either."

After saying that, Kent immediately left, even when Kent was gone for five minutes, Ann Reed was still surprised, did not shout to call security.

…

Kent walked out of the company then sighed, feeling extremely relaxed. Of course it's comfortable, Kent can hit the person he hates most with his own hands, point at the face of the woman who betrayed him and scold him, making her not dare to refute a word.

Those things make Kent feel very comfortable.

And even more comfortable is that now he is not bound by anything whether it is work or love.

Completely free.

Although Kent is about to die, now he feels like he is living a completely different life. A life that is completely free, a life that is completely free from the things that one has to deal with every day.

Looking at the line of people walking on the street, everyone is busy with work, everyone is rotated by the money wheel.

Kent thinks that the other people must have forgotten their own dreams, forgot that they themselves had dreams, had crazy dreams. But now they have let go of all those dreams, accepting to do jobs they don't like, doing things they don't want to do so they can find one thing - Money.

Kent smiled because he was already out of that cycle, then he immediately went home.

At this time, Kent is also not free because he is selling all the stocks and cryptocurrencies that he is holding.

Kent is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart in his dealings. Six years ago, he saw the cryptocurrency Scoin and realized that it could be very valuable, so he bought a large amount.

When Kent bought it, the value of a Scoin was only 5 dollars, after six years, the value of 1 Scoin has increased to more than 70,000 dollars. It can be said that this deal brought him a tremendous profit, plus the number of shares he sold, the total amount he was holding in his hand was more than billions of dollars.

An absolute fortune.

There are many people, even if they work for a lifetime or for a hundred years, they cannot earn a tenth of this amount. But now, Kent is holding this money in his hand.

Put all the money into a personal account and then start sitting still, thinking about what you want to do.

…

This time, at the company where Kent had just quit.

On the top floor.

A middle-aged man suddenly stood up, looking at the computer screen with an unbelievable face, almost fainted.

“N-it can't be… Why? Why did the price of Scoin drop so much?”

If you pay attention, you can see this middle-aged man's nameplate on the table.

[David - General Manager]

Yes, this person is the CEO of the company that Kent has just quit, and Steve's father.

However, at this time David no longer has the demeanor of a General Manager. His face was pale, as if there was no more blood left, sweat was gradually pouring out.

David plopped down on the chair, his head in his hands, screaming in his heart, wondering why the price of Scoin had dropped so much.

“Rumbling!”

The office door was suddenly violently opened, and a young blond man burst in. That's Steve.

"Dad!" Steve shouted with his face swollen, his mouth still bleeding, behind him were a nurse and Ann Reed.

“Someone hit me. Dad! Dad must…”

David saw his son being beaten so badly, he also couldn't stabilize his mood. He said annoyed: “Who was beaten? It's strange that you're just playing around like that and not getting beaten up."

"Dad! I was beaten by Kent."

“Kent?” Suddenly hearing this name David seemed startled, he shouted: "Say it again! Who hit you?"

Steve saw that his father was so aggressive, suddenly happy, thinking that his father saw that he was beaten, so he wanted to help teach Kent a lesson. Ann Reed who stood in the back also chuckled. She was startled by Kent's screams earlier, of course, she also wanted Kent to pay the price.

"It's Kent!" Steve said Kent's name again.

David frowned and asked, "Is it Peter Kent?"

“Yes, that is it.” Steve once again confirmed.

David suddenly felt a crazy anger, he suddenly understood why the price of Scoin had dropped so terribly. Unable to contain his emotions, he swung his hand and slapped Steve with a loud slap.

“SLAP!”

Steve was stunned by his father. He was hit with a punch by Kent, who was already stunned, but now he was suddenly slapped by his father, Steve couldn't stand it and fell down, lying on the ground.

Steve looked at his father in surprise, he didn't understand why his father slapped him. Ann Reed also looked at David in surprise, not understanding what David was thinking. Steve is his son anyway, Steve has just been beaten to the point of fainting by someone, and now he's slapping Steve again.

“Idiot!” David pointed directly at Steve's face and shouted: "Why do I have a stupid son like you?"

“W-cha… why…”

David gasped angrily and said: "Why do you think I always use Kent, unconditionally bringing him to my company?"

Steve shook his head as if he didn't know.

David angrily held his laptop close to Steve's face and asked: "Do you know how much the price of Scoin has dropped? From $70,000, now it's just over $40,000."

“Drill!” David looked back at his laptop in surprise. Yes, it was $50,000 before, now it's $40,000, in just five minutes the price of Scoin dropped another 10,000 dollars.

“AAA! Damn it!” David angrily shouted: “Damn it! Damn it!”

David was angry to the extreme, he broke the laptop in his hand.

"Dad!" Steve asked, “What is this? What happened? How does the price of Scoin relate to Kent?”

David looked at his son, deeply annoyed. David tried to calm down and then said: "I invited Kent to my company to work because Kent has 10,000 Scoin in his hand."

David's words just made Ann Reed and Steve surprised.

Everyone knows David's company, although it has many investment categories, in which the biggest investment is cryptocurrency. And of course, Scoin is also one of the company's major investments.

Although not an investor, but all over the world most people know about Scoin because it is so famous, so famous that even children know about it.

Everyone knows that Scoin is only available to financiers and billionaires who hold a large amount of money, most people can only invest a little.

However, the value of Scoin goes without saying because it is extremely large. Even, the value of Scoin continuously increases day by day, hour by hour. There are many people who buy Scoin with the main purpose of getting rich.

“No way…” Steve shook his head and said, “How could that poor guy have so many Scoins? Impossible! He's just an orphan."

“Idiot!” David couldn't help but shouted: "You're just a playboy who knows nothing but women and your stupid friends."

“The current price of Scoin is falling so sharply because there is a large amount of Scoin flowing into the market. This means they are losing a lot of money. If this continues, we will face the risk of losing more than 50% of the value of the Company.”

When David finished speaking, he gasped. The principles of the market, of course, he understood better than anyone. That's why David quickly calculated the disadvantages that the company had to face.

David continued: “Currently the value of Scoin is going down so Scoin holders will continuously sell to get their capital back. If this situation continues, the price of Scoin will decrease further and further.”

Steve suddenly realized something and asked: "Dad! Idiot Kent…”

"Hmm?"

Seeing David glaring at Steve when Steve said "stupid Kent" he knew he shouldn't have said it. Steve took a deep breath, trying to suppress the sting of his father's slap, then asked: “Kent sold 10,000 Scoin when the price peaked, which means…”

"Right!" David said angrily, "Which means he's now a billionaire with nearly a billion dollars."

Steve and Ann Reed were surprised to hear that, not knowing what to say. Only Ann Reed at this time regretted to the point of wanting to die. Not thinking about the person she considered poor, always despised by her, is now a billionaire with a fortune of nearly a billion dollars.

“N-no… no way.” Ann Reed muttered. Suddenly she remembered what she said to Kent when Kent kicked her out of the house.

"You will regret."

But now, the one who regrets it is her, Ann Reed.
