Being beaten for no reason naturally made me angry, but I was helpless.
After all, this is the final test.
A group of people came to me and started punching and kicking. I curled up on the ground and let the stormy attack hit me.
I felt pain at first, but later, I was numb. Through the gap in the crowd, I saw Hector sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He tasted the wine in his glass and looked at me jokingly. It seemed that he no longer doubted me. The reason why he hit me was totally fun.
At the end, Hector ordered to stop until my vision was blurred.
The intense pain in my body made me gnash my teeth. Hector leaned down with a smile, patted my face, and said to me playfully, "You are such a trash, don't you dare to fight back?"
I gnashed my teeth and said with angry eyes, "No, I don't!"
Hector sneered, "You have some self-knowledge." After saying, he poured the wine in the glass on my head and said calmly, "Although this wine is very bad for me, it is very good for you. Have a good taste"
I said tremblingly, "Thank you master Lam."
Hector gave me a disdainful look, stood up and left the bar.
I laid flat on the ground and stared at the ceiling blankly. My tight nerves completely relaxed. I felt the strange gazes of the people around me. I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it. In the smoke, my heart was beating. I clenched my fist and wished to rush out to tear Hector into pieces.
But I held back! I couldn't do a foolish thing! Hector had believed me. From now on, I had nothing to do with him.
After I figured it out, I sighed deeply, put out the cigarette and left the bar.
I was in a mess. There were footprints all over the clothes and I was beaten black and blue. But the pain was insignificant to me. I didn't go back to the supermarket, I went straight home.
I went to the bathroom and took off my clothes. The cold water washed away the dirt on my body and even this humiliation. I looked at myself in the mirror blankly. My chest was covered with scars, it was very hideous. Every scar on it represented the supreme glory. Those were what I had done for the country!
I never regretted stepping on this road. Maybe Peter Hussain gave me a lot of temptation. But he was ruined. I didn't know how many families in danger were saved.
I didn't know how long it took. There was a sound outside the bathroom. I recovered, wiped my body, put on new clothes and went out.
"Jayden?" Emelia frowned and looked at me, her eyes flushed suddenly. She came to me and held my face, "Who hit you?"
My face was black and blue, it looked very ugly. I smiled bitterly, "It's okay. I hurt myself by accident."
Emelia said unhappily, "Can you hurt the whole face? Is it Hector?"
I squinted and nodded without denying. Emelia said angrily at once, "It's really him! His favorite person is Nora, and Hector will definitely not let you off if you show up with her."
I smiled in frustration, "Forget it. Let it be a lesson! I won't be with Nora anymore."
Emelia nodded, "Are there any problems with your body? Do you want me to check?"
I frowned, "No, nothing serious."
I really didn't want Emelia to see the scars all over my body, she will be scared.
Emelia didn't say anything. She sat on the sofa angrily, folded her arms around her chest and ignored me.
I was very helpless. I took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator and handed it to her. She turned a blind eye and stared at the TV in a daze.
"Don't be angry." I pretended to be pitiful and said.
Unconsciously, Emelia's eyes turned red. She said to me earnestly, "Jayden, we must have self-knowledge. Even if you and Nora truly love each other, do you think it is possible? Her family conditions are so good, but we…"
I was silent for a while and said seriously, "Emelia, I was wrong."
Emelia shook her head, "Jayden, will you listen to me? Don't make trouble for Hector anymore, we can't take him on."
A shadow flashed in my eyes, couldn't I take him on? If I wanted to play with Hector seriously, killing him was easier than trampling an ant to death!
Despite all this, I smiled obsequiously and said, "Ok! I promise you. I will never provoke Hector."
Emelia showed a relieved smile and hugged my arm, "I know you are the best."
Looking at her beautiful and flawless face, I smiled stupidly. Facing Emelia, I always obeyed unconditionally。
She was all my life, without her, my world would be eclipsed.
In the afternoon, Emelia still had a class and left first. I promised her to pick her up as usual at night.
After three o'clock, I came to Globle Group in the new area of the city.
This was a newly built building. But it was not sold out when it went on sale like a normal community. The people who lived here were either rich or honorable. It was said that many officials and nobles had bought houses here. And I also planned to buy a villa as a gift for Emelia.
I hid the clothes I bought at JQK that day. It would be Emelia's birthday in a few days, and I planned to give her the villa and clothes as a surprise.
After entering the sales office, the sales staff didn't ridicule me like the TV series. A girl greeted me warmly and smiled at me, "Hello sir, are you here to see the house?"
I nodded. Then under her guidance, I came to the construction sand table. She said to me, "There are currently six new villas not for sale, and one resale."
After she finished explaining patiently, I pointed to the most central one and said, "Just buy this one."
The smile of the sales staff suddenly stopped and said to me, "Sir, this is villa No. 1, the most expensive one in Globle Group."
I said amusedly, "Do I look like I have no money?"
The sales staff shook her head hurriedly and explained to me, "Sir, you are misunderstood, because the scenery of villa No. 1 is very good. Through the balcony on the second floor, you can overlook the scenery of Swan Lake, so the price is higher, and the transaction price may be around $4. 45 million."
I smiled, took out the bank card from my pocket, handed it to her, and said," Pay by card directly."
The sales staff covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Sir… you…"
I said calmly, "After paying, can I visit?"
"Yes, of course." The girl's excited eyes flooded with tears, this villa had been empty for a long time. If I bought it, she maybe got a lot of commission.
The girl came to the front desk with trembling hands, as if suddenly thinking of something, she turned her head back and asked me, "Sir, do you want to pay in installments? We have 15 years and 30 years. We need the bank to handle it."
I tasted the dessert and said, "Full payment!"
In this era, people who bought a house with full payment were either rich or foolish. For example, when you had 1500 dollars 20 years ago, others would say that you were a local tyrant and a household of myriad dollars. But now, 1500 dollars was not worth mentioning. Of course, this truth would not change in the future.
After charge, the POS machine slowly spitted out the bill. Under the envious eyes of everyone, the sales staff drove me to villa No. 1 in Globle Group.
The bright sunshine shined on the villa, sending out a light luster, and the surroundings were quiet and full of vitality. It was densely surrounded by many luxuriant plants. The overall style was red and white. It looked like a huge palace and showed the luxury but low-key temperament.
After the sales staff took me in, I found that the decoration style tended to be simple and classical. Emelia once told me that if she had her own house in the future, it must be decorated simply, not golden.
The villa was two-story and contained five bedrooms and three halls. In the yard, there was a huge swimming pool and a plantation garden where you could plant flowers and plants.
Standing on the balcony on the second floor, opposite me was the most famous Swan Lake in D City, which was not far away. Unfortunately, this was the afternoon. At night, if you looked at it from here, the scenery must be very beautiful.
"Sir." he sales staff stood behind me and said respectfully, "If you are dissatisfied with the decoration and the surrounding environment, you can tell me and I will contact the workers to rectify."
There were some flaws in some places. After I explained it, I didn't stay here because Emelia was about to leave school and I needed to pick her up.
When I left villa No. 1 and was about to get in the car, a voice suddenly came from behind me, "Jayden Hunter?"
I frowned. Was there anyone who knew me here?
