The Marvellous Mafia Xavier Alonso

Chapter 6

Supersystems are systems that have a broader relationship than the system. If a system is part of another larger system, the larger system is known as a supersystem.

***

Back to Xavier's childhood, where at that time, he was still not in school and living in a garbage dump.

[It's a super system, not an ordinary system]

"What do you mean?

[You can activate the super mafia system]

"What is it?"

[A system that will change everything]

[Ring]

Sigh!!! Sigh!!! Sigh!!!

Xavier woke up from his sleep. This repeatedly happened when Xavier was young and not yet in school.

"What was that? System? Super system?"

All sorts of questions, Xavier asked. But of course, he didn't know the answers either.

At that time, Xavier was only four years old. He didn't know anything about the system. Little Xavier's daily life before school was to help his mum collect used items around his house to sell. Or if an item could be used again, they could use it for their needs.

They lived in a slum close to a garbage dump. At the time, Xavier's father had just left to migrate because he wanted to have his own house. One that was more decent than the current one.

The daily sight of little Xavier was the frail scavengers. And their children, too, are just like Xavier.

But in places like this, violence is also common. Not just between adults and adults. But also adults with children. In fact, between children too.

And more often than not, misunderstandings between one child and another will lead to disputes between adults. So it ends in violence. Either mental or physical violence.

"Xavier! Xavier! Your mum got beat up!"

Little Xavier, playing in front of the house, didn't quite understand the meaning of the person who brought the news.

"Come on!"

That person pulled Xavier's hand to see how his mum was doing. Who was said to have been beaten up by someone?

Little Xavier looked at his crying mummy, shaking his head several times.

"No, I'm not. I'm not a thief! Waah."

"How can a thief confess? You poor person! All you can do is steal. No hard work!"

"No. No, I didn't. I didn't steal. Waah."

Xavier heard and saw how his mother was forced to admit to a mistake she didn't make. That stole a gold ring from the chief thug who ruled this neighbourhood.

In every place, no matter where it is, rulers or thugs are bound to exist. And they will always do whatever they think is favourable for themselves.

In the end, the money from the sale of his mum's second-hand goods, which was not much, was taken away by this person.

"This is still not much. You must deposit daily to pay off the ring replacement debt!"

No one dared to defend Xavier's mum, Emma, even though many people witnessed the incident.

Those who saw the incident were of the same social status as Xavier's family, only as scavengers in that place. Meanwhile, the one who accused Emma was the chairman and ruler of the place. So, there is no way anyone would dare to go against him. Because he also has men with tall and strong stature.

Xavier hugged his mummy as the man left in a very arrogant manner. That is, by rummaging through the basket near Xavier's mummy. And indeed, the basket belonged to Xavier's mummy.

"Mummy."

Xavier called out to his mum while in the arms of his crying mum. Limping due to the wound on her leg, Emma's mum invited her son to come home.

"I hope your dad comes home soon. And we'll buy our own house. Even if it's small, we'll be much better off than living here."

Xavier's hand, which was in his mother's hand, felt the vibration felt by his mother. It was sadness, resentment and hatred for their current situation.

Xavier was similarly determined. He didn't want to see his mum in the state she was in.

"We'll be rich someday. We'll be strong, right? We won't lose to that guy, right, Mum?"

On the way to the house, Xavier asked his mum many questions.

And Emma just nodded without answering question after question asked by Xavier.

Tonight, they couldn't buy food or ingredients to cook. So to cope with their hungry stomachs, they drank warm water.

***

Xavier's father, Ajax, returned from his travels a few weeks later. He smiled happily, seeing that his wife and son were doing well.

"Papa's home, sweetheart. Mummy, Xavier."

The three of them embraced with emotion and sadness. But Emma didn't immediately tell them about what happened a few weeks ago. She didn't want her husband to get angry and then retaliate against the chief thug from yesterday. That would create new problems for their own family.

"Look, Papa has a lot of money. We're going to buy a house in the neighbourhood. Not in a place like this."

Emma smiled with almost tears in her eyes because, in the end, they were going to leave this place. A place that was not comfortable to live in at all. It was also not good for their child's future development.

The three of them hugged each other tightly. Then began the last dinner in this place. Because tomorrow morning, they will leave to buy a house in another village.

***

The next day, Ajax's family left. The three-headed towards the village far from this rubbish dump.

Pushing the cart, Ajax looked at his wife and child, who were all smiles.

"I'm sorry if the house we'll live in isn't big. Papa's money is only enough to buy a small, not very nice house."

"It's okay, dear. The important thing is your own home. Not a makeshift building like the one we left behind."

Emma didn't make many demands on her husband for something Ajax couldn't do and fulfil. She knew that he was just a manual labourer in the city. That was only during the spring and summer months. The rest of the time, Ajax would be at home. Accompanying her to look for used items that could be sold or used for their needs.

Arriving at the new house, it turned out that the person who told Ajax was waiting. Because the house, indeed, belonged to the brother of his friend.

After completing the payment, Ajax invited Emma and Xavier to enter the house.

"Welcome to our home!"

The house is small, with one room and a kitchen that is shared with the bathroom. The living room is used as a dining room too. But this is more than enough for Ajax's family, instead of having to live in the rubbish dump yesterday.
