Kaiden stood up and took the little boy named Sam into his arms, while giving Daniel a sharp look."What the hell is going on?" Kaiden asked."None of your business! Now give him back." Daniel tried to snatch Sam from Kaiden's hands.However, Sam cried as soon as Daniel approached them.Kaiden hated being in that position, he didn't want to interfere either, but what could he do. He couldn't let a child get involved in complicated matters."I don't want to interfere with you either, but this boy doesn't want to be with you! Where's his mother anyway?" Kaiden asked."I told you it's none of your business!"Kaiden rolled his eyes in disgust. He couldn't let go of Sam, as the boy held Kaiden firmly."Why don't we talk about it at my house?" Diana asked.Daniel turned to Diana, and was surprised to see who was with Kaiden.Daniel's attitude changed drastically, he smiled and respected Diana well. His attitude was much different from his attitude towards Kaiden. It made Kaiden very upset,
The heavy rain that had been falling for the past five minutes or so, had washed away the tears and blood from the hard blows that the frail young man in shabby clothes had received without a fight.The punches were still being thrown at the frail young man by some thugs who were known to be accomplices of a notorious loan shark in the small town called Mastaka."Looks like he's dead, boss," said one of the big thugs with a tiger tattoo on his left arm."I don't care if he's dead or not, his fault is that he was born into a poor family that doesn't know themselves, let's go and let him freeze to death in the rain," said the man called boss.One of the thugs kicked the body of the young man who was lying helplessly until he rolled a few centimeters from where it was."What if he's still alive, boss?" asked another thug."That means he has to pay his family's debt, if he can't, we'll take his kidney and sell it."The young man, who had no energy left, could faintly hear them all laughin
After a few hours in the hospital, Kaiden was finally able to go home. All of Kaiden's treatment costs will be paid for by the police. Kaiden was even escorted home by the police.During the trip, the policeman questioned Kaiden about how he could be in a deserted place behind the market in such a battered state.Kaiden told them everything that happened, about his brother who liked to cause trouble, about his mother who was stressed out because of his brother's actions and owed so much money to loan sharks, and about his brother and mother who suddenly died by suicide."So, they committed suicide without you, huh? I didn't know because I was just transferred to this city." The policeman said.Kaiden nodded, "That's right, they did it while I was sleeping, so the next day I already saw the bodies of both of them. After that, I worked all kinds of jobs, no time to rest at all, just to pay off the debts that kept piling up. Three months later, I only managed to collect $200 and even tha
"Now, what should I do?" Kaiden asked himself.He had eaten and now felt full.He had gone back to his house because he didn't know what to do. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with any ideas at all.Kaiden had heard that poor people and rich people had different mindsets. The rich would find any opportunity that could be turned into money. And Kaiden now felt he had the mindset of a poor person, because he couldn't find any opportunities that he could turn into money.[In that case, the system will give some hints that might help]How happy Kaiden was to see the notification from the system.[Try going anywhere, either on foot or on a bicycle, and look for ideas from there]Kaiden's smile faded instantly, as it turned out that the system didn't give him any ideas. Maybe the system wanted Kaiden to figure it out on his own. But Kaiden thought it was better, if he depended on people's help all the time, how could Kaiden progress and get better?Kaiden went out again,
[You get a reward for getting a trustworthy person to help with business][200$ successfully entered inventory]Kaiden smiled at the notification from the system, meaning that he could indeed trust Mr. Toni to help him. Since Kaiden would be starting business tomorrow in the morning, this afternoon he went to the place where he last worked. He wanted to let his manager know that he was no longer able to work.Kaiden's previous workplace was a seafood restaurant, located near the beach. Kaiden was taking a look at the beach for tomorrow's business. It was a weekend, so there would definitely be a lot of visitors.Kaiden parked his bike in the employee parking lot, then entered through the back door as usual.Kaiden's job at the place was to help the chef in the kitchen. I already told you, right? Kaiden would do any job, even if he had to be humiliated every day. The kitchen was a scary place, you couldn't play around there. Profanity and insults were so common.Kaiden actually felt lu
Mr. Randy is the owner of the restaurant, he is the father of Robby, his second son, who is a chef in his restaurant and will one day inherit the restaurant business.But it cannot be denied that Robby is very lacking and has a lot to learn. Especially after knowing that Robby fired and beat Kaiden just because he was jealous of Kaiden.Randy really couldn't understand what made his son jealous, who had never been in trouble in his life, from Kaiden, who had been miserable since childhood. It made no sense to Randy.He was currently facing the two boys in his room. One was very haughty, unwilling to admit he was wrong, though now looking somewhat frightened. The other looked very resigned, but there was no look of fear on his face that Randy could see. Kaiden wouldn't be afraid if he wasn't wrong."So you took it for granted when Robby fired you, then you wanted to leave, but then Robby beat you up?" Asked Randy, he briefly glanced at his son Robby, his eyes showing that he was scared
Kaiden didn't care about the others, he just focused on himself. He knew the others were laughing at him, including someone he was familiar with.He was Fabiano, the son of the owner of the resort near the beach, and Kaiden's previous classmate.Bian, as he was usually called, was the class president who was known to be very kind and considerate to all students. However, not many people knew that Bian was actually still part of the school thugs who liked to bully other students.Bian does maintain his image, lest his parents know that he likes to bully other students, likes to smoke, skip school, and other juvenile delinquencies.He did look very handsome and like a good guy, but the truth was the opposite.Kaiden clearly didn't like Bian, as he often bullied Kaiden at school. Then Bian and his friends threatened Kaiden not to tell anyone after being bullied. Kaiden had a lot of trouble because of them.Once he almost broke his leg because he was beaten by them, but fortunately Kaiden
Kaiden was very happy when a new smartphone was brought out by the pretty employee, it was black in color. The blonde employee explained about the smartphone to Kaiden patiently, Kaiden himself asking a lot of questions because this was the first time he had seen such an expensive smartphone."It's useless for you to explain in such detail, because he won't be able to pay for everything," said Citra, the bitchy employee who used to be Kaiden's classmate. Citra had just served a customer who was well-dressed and looked rich, but didn't end up buying a smartphone."Even if he doesn't buy, we should still serve him well, that's what the shop owner said," said the blonde-haired girl."I warned you, he's a hobo, he has no money, he can't afford such an expensive smartphone." After saying that, Citra left again.The blonde employee turned back to Kaiden, "Do you want to buy or not? If you do want to buy, I can insert the SIM card as well."Kaiden nodded, "I'll buy it, here's the money, plea
