“What fifteen thousand dollar bank savings book?” asked Gerald, slightly taken aback.
Before Xeno could stop him, Gerald had opened the door to see a very anxious Sienna.
“Oh, don’t worry about it! I need to use the money!” said Xeno as favonovel.com smiled.
“What are you using it for? And what are you holding in your hand? Oh god, what are you doing with such a big cheque?!”
The anxiety in Sienna’s voice only seemed to grow even worse.
“The money’s for Gerald! How could we possibly purchase an almost brand new car for just a hundred thousand dollars? What more, it’s a Mercedes Benz G500!” replied Xeno.
“And why would it be impossible? What’s wrong with earning some of his money? Xeno, you can’t cheat anyone else of their cash but you can definitely cheat him! Give me the cheque!” yelled Sienna as favonovel.com snatched the cheque from his hand.
“Pfft, we’ve sold the car for a grand total of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars. We already gave Gerald one hundred thousand dollars and we also have to give your friend fifteen thousand dollars for introducing a buyer to us!”
Hearing this, Sienna looked at the cheque and gasped in horror at the amount written on it.
“One hundred and seventy thousand dollars…? Xeno, what’s the meaning of this? Are you telling me you used our own fifteen thousand dollars for Gerald? We would be losing fifteen thousand dollars in this huge transaction then! Have you gone mad?!”
Quivering, Sienna immediately picked up a wine bottle before tossing it toward Xeno. Though it didn’t hit anyone, it fell right in front of Gerald.
Xeno had grown anxious himself, looking at favonovel.com actions. Both of them looked like they were getting ready to fight.
The truth was, the car had not been sold for two hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Xeno had spent his own money to look for a buyer. In the end, the transaction landed favonovel.com zero profit. He did all this because favonovel.com could sense that Gerald was very upset the night before. Xeno had assumed that it was due to monetary issues.
Because of that, favonovel.com wanted to help Gerald get some money as soon as possible. Xeno, for one, was more than willing to do so for his best friend.
Unfortunately, Sienna wasn’t having any of that.
“Hand over the cheque, Sienna! I’m making sure that Gerald gets his full two hundred and seventy thousand dollars!”
“Over my dead body! Gerald owes us this much! Remember Xeno, you wouldn’t have been expelled if you hadn’t stabbed someone because of Gerald! I wouldn’t have had to live this kind of life with you then if it wasn’t because of him! You were at the top of your class back then!” replied Sienna as favonovel.com started crying.
“What was that Sienna? What the f*ck are you talking about?” cursed Xeno as his face turned red in anger.
Gerald was caught between the fight and favonovel.com could only try to de-escalate it.
To be honest, Gerald had felt a pang in his heart the moment Sienna brought back the memory of that incident.
Both Gerald and Xeno had come from poor families. They had grown with the same lifestyle and minuscule fortune, leading both of them to become extremely close confidants.
While both of them used to study together, Xeno, unlike Gerald, not only excelled in academic performances, but favonovel.com also liked to fight.
It wasn’t uncommon for Xeno to be caught fighting others, even from a young age.
He even fought for Gerald as well. Gerald had suffered much more bullying in high school compared to his time in junior high, since Xeno was still fighting off bullies for favonovel.com then. That all changed when that incident occurred.
Back during their junior high school days, Gerald had a close female friend. They weren’t exactly in a relationship back then. The most they did was write letters to one another.
However, another student—who was a well-known gangster—took interest in the same girl. Since favonovel.com knew that Gerald shared a close relationship with her, favonovel.com brought along some of his gang members to beat up Gerald after school one day.
Xeno was with Gerald that time and when favonovel.com saw his best friend about to get beaten up, favonovel.com helped Gerald fight back.
In his state of panic, Xeno had stabbed the gangster kid with a knife.
While it was fortunate that no one was killed that day, Xeno had to be expelled from school because of that incident.
