*****

Even before Rebecca, her mother, and her new boyfriend were spotted, everybody had already rushed toward the vehicle that brought them over.

They were all utterly amazed by the expensive car which none of them had seen before in real life except in movies.

Their eyes began to glow as they waited for the car’s door to open, and as soon as it did, they circled the three and started giving the short and not-so-handsome Gab idolization gazes

“Is that the wealthy young man?”

“So handsome!”

“Welcome, Young master, my name is…”

“Young master, I am…”

Ignoring Mark and his problem, everybody there began to throw all sorts of flattering words at the young man, praising him to the peak.

“Ahhh!!” With his tears mixed with his snorts, Mark's sob increased upon witnessing the scene that was going on.

Although he didn't want to accept the reality, Mark ultimately understood why everybody, despite having a good relationship with himself and his family refused to offer any hand of help.

It was because he had offended someone as powerful as Gab, and since they were scared that they would become Gab’s enemy and offend the other party by helping him, they all ignored his pleas for help.

Mark lost all hope and his heart shattered into countless pieces to never become whole again.

He was so devastated and greatly anguished.

‘This was my fault!’

'Everything was my fault!'

He clenched his fists with all the strength he could muster, cursing himself in his mind for bringing about his family's doom.

Mark felt that everything was still a nightmare.

While he was doing this, Rebecca, her mother, and boyfriend, who acted as though they couldn’t see the crowd, ignoring them finally got to him.

“Is that blood tears I’m seeing falling from your eyes?” Gab suddenly asked with a hint of playfulness, immediately making everybody look at Mark’s face.

They were all shocked at the sight they saw.

As Gab had stated, the tears falling from Mark’s eyes were no longer the normal tears; instead, they were blood-red tears.

The heart of almost everybody, Rebecca included, trembled.

“This…” Some people swallowed hard.

“For someone to sob blood tears, this…”

“How could a person sob blood? What sort of experience could they have gone through, a young one who isn’t even twenty yet at that?”

A trace of pity finally appeared in the eyes of many for Mark, and they felt like helping him.

However, Gab became deeply infuriated when he saw all this, making Rebecca’s mother, who had been paying attention to him instantly notice, making her nervous.

She discreetly pinched her daughter.

“This is what you deserve, scoundrel. Is it still blood you are crying? Hahaha. How dare you lay your filthy hand on my future son-in-law?”

“That’s right.” The traces of pity in Rebecca also disappeared as she realized that she had almost made her new cash cow dissatisfied. “If anybody must be blamed, it is you. You said I was cheating on you when I have never even dated you before, and you even dared to lay your hand on my man, thinking he was a nobody like you.”

“This…”

Everybody was stumped.

‘She has never dated him before?’ They couldn’t think, recollecting the lovey-dovey couple they once knew who would never part from each other.

A moment later, everybody understood what was going on, and nobody blamed Rebecca.

It was the hope of everybody living in the slum to encounter a wealthy person who would elevate their financial position and status, and now that Rebecca had snagged a lucky person who wasn’t just slightly wealthy but incredibly wealthy, they all felt that they would do the same as her and deny someone like Mark who had nothing without any hesitation.

‘You should have focused on how to get out of this slum instead of being in love.’ The few ones with human emotion in the crowd sighed after a while.

Although they pity Mark, the slum is a place where the wealthy ones are placed high and treated like gods, so they all soon ignore Mark and resume flattering the young man, Gab.

“That’s what he deserves…”

“The scoundrel…”

Mark’s pale and dried lips trembled. His blood tears increased, and he finally ignored everybody when he realized that they wouldn’t help him, then after a lot of effort, he eventually carried his mother on his back and his sister in a bridal position in his arms.

Done after multiple pains compared to the one he got while he was getting beaten in the police station, Mark finally forces himself to stagger forward, with each step causing blood to ooze out of the countless wounds on his body.

Looking at him like this, the fragile-hearted ones in the crowd finally weren’t able to hold it again.

They sobbed.

Some even tried rushing to Mark to help him, but they were furiously stopped by their family, getting infuriated that they were trying to put them in trouble like Mark had done to his mother and sister.

As for Mark, while he was passing through Rebecca and her accomplice, he swore in his mind, swearing to make them pay even if he were only left with just a single life.

The heart of the trio trembled slightly, but then they became furious again.

“Scoundrel! You still want more?” Gab glared at Mark.

He even failed to see the pitiful look being given to himself by the doctor. “Will… will my mother and sister be okay?”The doctor, “_”He couldn’t help but keep quiet for a brief moment, then he shook his head. He had been extremely curious before, but since Mark didn’t want to say anything, he couldn’t be bothered. Well, it wasn’t that he was bothered in the first place anyway.“That’s right, however, before any treatment could be performed on the patients, Mister will need to deposit a small amount of money.”“I…” Mark turned into a statue for a moment. “Mo… money?”The doctor, “_”He couldn’t help but suddenly gaze at Mark s though he were a fool. “Yes, money.” He responded again, giving Mark a gaze that asked; ‘Don’t you know that you will be paying money in the first place when you bring over a patient?

You are returning three fucking days after you’ve asked for just one day off and you still dare to ask me for the money I was owing you? Even daring to tell me to borrow you some money to it, do you take me for a fool who could be easily duped?”Mark’s heart pounded in his chest and he became greatly nervous again.He had thought that luck had finally decided to shine upon him when he saw the usually hateful and furious supervisor smiling at him, which prompted him to ask what he needed, but…Mark swallowed hard. “Sir… sir Supervisor, it’s… it’s okay not to borrow me any money again, but… but the money you were owing me, could… could you return that first?”“Did you hear yours

    ***** After searching for a moment but seeing no other person who looked like they had spoken apart from Mark, all gazes were directed at Mark again. Nobody could talk for a brief moment, and then slowly, everybody exchanged blank gazes. “Did that… that homeless-looking boy did not just claim to have the ability to treat a person, did he?” “This… hahaha, what a joke.” “I will rather eat my shit than believe that someone like this, who resembles a person who had just been dehumanized for committing a theft is a doctor.” “What a fool?! Does he think we are joking here?” “The punk!” Everybody resumed discussion with a changed topic, having zero belief that Mark could do a single thing. Even the jade beauty, her revitalized expectancy instantly dashed, and her eyes became filled with hopelessness once again.“Grandfather, please, wake up! Wake up” She resumed shaking the old man while pleading for him. Like everybody else, her conclusion as soon as she saw Mark's appearance was

    ***** As soon as the words left Mark’s mouth, he was left aghast, as though he had never expected to utter such words.Literally, Mark was the one who had spoken, but it wasn’t out of his will, it was the arrogance of the high medical skill now present in his head that influenced and subconsciously let the words out of his mouth. After a moment of stupefaction, Mark’s face slowly returned to normal, since the question he just asked was nothing but the right thing to inquire. It was as though he had just spoken the most reasonable thing on earth. Nevertheless, nobody would react for a moment after he had spoken, and then very slowly, with a great shock, every head turned in Mark’s direction. Seeing that it was him, they gasped in astonishment. “It’s this beggar again,” someone mumbled, then before the old man, bodyguards, or the jade beauty could speak, they brought it upon themselves to act, trying to make the Jackson family owe them a favor. “Bastard, what did you just say?”

I did exactly what I should have done!” The doctor became incredibly nervous in the blink of an eye and beads of sweat covered him as he watched his patient having a tremendous seizure while releasing a massive amount of foam from his mouth. Being a doctor, a high-level one at that, he shouldn’t have been that affected and he should have quickly thought of a solution, given how this wasn’t the first time a situation would get out of hand. He however failed to maintain his rationality once he recalled Mark’s words, together with what he was witnessing right now.He was greatly nervous and terrified.He started fidgeting around, not knowing what to do again.Meanwhile, watching her grandfather trembling hysterically as though he were about to kick the bucket, the jade beauty had become completely pale. She was so agitated that goosebumps had covered her skin. “My… why does my grandfather’s condition suddenly get wor

Back to Mark. After a moment of astonishment, his face gradually returned to normal, then he slowly heaved in and out before finally scrutinizing the patient whose seizure was only increasing by the moment, to check whether he could still treat him.After a second, Mark nodded his head slightly with a look of certainty a

    ***** At first, nobody could understand what Mark was doing, since it just looked as though he was merely sticking out needles randomly on the patient’s body, but eventually, someone realized what was different and called out. “Why… why does it look as though an image of a dragon is appearing every time he is about to insert the needles? Could… could I have seen wrongly?’ “Huh…” Everybody was confused when they heard this person, causing them to quickly squint their eyes at what Mark was doing, but when they still ended up seeing nothing different from what they were seeing before, some people thought that the speaker had exaggerated greatly, causing them to glare at him. “Could it be that you are in partnership with that swindler?” One of the on-lookers glared. “That’s right, ‘cause I’m still looking for the dragon you said to have…” “Ah… I’ve seen it. I’ve really seen it. Look very well at the top of each needle. Dragon seemed to always appear for a brief second before disappe

Nonsense.”The driver, a grumpy-looking man hissed angrily, then not allowing Mark to finish his words, he pressed hard on the pedals, almost stepping on Mark’s feet.“Why are people always angry these days, anyway?”He shook his head and turned around, just in time to see the jade beauty who had been running toward him reach him.“Mister Mark!” She called gently, looking as though she would tear up.Mark was confused and he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable and a bit irritated by this sight that made h

After driving Mark away, although the rude security guard did not feel entirely satisfied that he wasn't able to fulfill his desire to oppress and break a few of his limbs as he had intended, he still felt invigorated. It was as if he had just taken a refreshing, cold bath after enduring days of scorching heat and dirt. “When last had it been since I was able to use my power as a security guard to this level of satisfaction? The feeling is so great and amazing!” As though he had just achieved something great, the rude security guard still sighed with contentment, still standing before the gate and looking through the rectangular window on it. “I’ve always been respectful to every single person I come across ever since I began to work as the security guard of this estate, because a single word from any of them could ruin my entire life completely, but tonight, I finally managed to slightly curb my hunger of using my power... but how much I so much wish for

    ***** Immediately following the echo of the abrupt voice, silence enveloped the area outside the gate. It was so profound that one could hear a pin drop. A moment later, the few people present there shifted their vacant stares toward the direction from which the scornful voice, which was filled to the brim with disbelief, emanated. In the luxurious car parked outside the gate, the driver, a short middle-aged man, turned his blank gaze towards the rear. His mouth hung open in bewilderment for a prolonged moment the next second, until... “You little troublemaker. Haven't we made a conclusion before we left home to do our utmost to avoid causing any disturbances here today?!” The short man emitted a low growl, barely audible to the person seated in the back seat of the car, looking completely helpless and frustrated. Upon hearing his father's voice and sensing his deep concern, Gab directly understood his fear, which was that he might have offended someone he shouldn't have offende

  • Chapter 083 – The Rude Security Guard 

    ***** “Who are you, and why are you on the property of the Jackson family?” Mark, who had been standing in confusion in front of an incredibly tall and massive black gate, was suddenly startled back to his senses. He quickly looked around, trying to search for the source of the sound, but no, he saw nothing. “Brat, are you deaf or what? What are you looking for?” Mark, “_” He couldn’t help but suddenly frown slightly after a second of blankness, but then he sighed. “I’m here for the banquet of the old master of the Jackson family,” he said calmly, finally locating a tiny sound system, where the rude voice that was speaking to him had originated. The sound system was incredibly small, but Mark was amazed by its quality, projecting sound in a way that one would think was coming directly from the speaker and not from a projector. After Mark’s slight amazement, he waited for a response to his words, but he saw and heard none coming. This silence, however, persisted for several

    ***** “That stupid and useless wretch actually dares to hang the call on me?! What the audacity? How dare she?!” At this moment, an aged man, who was radiating nothing, but strength, power, and authority was consumed with intense fury. He paced about, his body emitting a strong killing intent that could make anybody die from fear. He began to puff heavily, feeling like going on a killing spree. The old man with grey hair was Mark’s grandfather, Maria’s father. He had never liked Maria since the beginning of time, instead, all his love had always been toward her stepbrothers and stepsister. He had mostly always acted indifferent toward her and would never praise her, no matter how many positive things she had contributed to the family or how much she worked for its growth. The hatred and intense disgust towards her began when Maria declined to marry the man of his choice. The man he believed would have elevated his family to a position of great power and prestige in the co

Just a small apartment where I could slowly pay back in the future will do!”Mark's mother spoke rapidly, acting as though she was eating something incredibly hot without pausing or punctuating her words.It was as if she was fearing that she might lose the courage to convey her purpose for calling if she ever stopped even for a moment.Once she had finished explaining her purpose, however, a prolonged silence that made her feel a great discomfort followed. She waited patiently, but no response came. This led her to suspect that her father had disconnected the call.Just as she was on the verge of checking the cell phone’s screen, to ascertain her thoughts, though, a burst of hysterical laughter echoed through the cell phone.“Kakakakakaka!!!”The laughter wasn’t only long, it was loud as hell and fi
