Seven days later.
At a construction site in a typical small county located in Salford Province.
“It is time for the wages to be distributed! You, twenty three dollars! Keep it well!”
“You, fourteen dollars!”
An overweight foreman with a perfectly-round belly was handing out the daily wages to a few men and women who were in their fifties.
Among them stood a young man, who stuck out like a sore thumb.
The others received twenty three dollars as their daily wage.
However, when it came to the young man’s turn, favonovel.com only received fourteen dollars.
The foreman spat on his fingers as favonovel.com counted the cash to make sure the amount was right.
“Hold on. Haven’t we already agreed on this matter before coming here? You don’t need to pay me twenty three dollars a day, but didn’t we settle on sixteen dollars a day instead?” The young man asked.
“Damn it! Didja forget the meal you ate earlier this afternoon!? Two dollars is taken off your pay for yer meal!”
“But the lunch we had just now was just two pieces of biscuits, and you’re deducting two dollars from me!?”
“Damn it! I only gave you some work to do because I thought that you looked like an honest and decent young man. I am only going to give you fourteen dollars. It is up to you whether you want to take it or not. Ain’tnuthin’ you can do even if I don’t pay you a single cent!”
It was around this moment.
“Huh? Why does that worker look so familiar?”
A couple holding hands were accompanied by several other people as they walked past this area.
“Familiar? Raquel, is something wrong with your eyes? Would you know a worker like this?”
The man who was richly bedecked asked contemptuously.
“No! No, favonovel.com really looks very familiar. He’s a good buddy of my bankrupt ex-boyfriend. He used to be really awesome in the past. There’s no mistaking it! It’s him!”
“Are you serious?” The boy asked.
The girl walked over to the worker.
“Gerald, it’s really you!”
The girl recognized who the young man was in an instant.
There were hints of ridicule and mockery on the girl’s face.
That’s right. This young man was none other than Gerald.
On that night, seven days ago, Xavia decided to let favonovel.com go. After Zack picked favonovel.com up, favonovel.com faced many risks along the way but favonovel.com finally arrived at Salford Province.
The first thing that Gerald did was to head to the countryside to look for Uncle Quick.
After all, Gerald knew where Uncle Quick’s house was.
However, his fellow villagers told favonovel.com that it had been a few days since Uncle Quick left the village.
Gerald had no other place to go to and favonovel.com could only wait patiently.
As favonovel.com was embarrassingly short of money, favonovel.com had no choice but to come here to take on a part time job.
Gerald had also thought about finding a secure job.
However, when favonovel.com arrived at Merry City, favonovel.com was surrounded by his enemies, which was when favonovel.com lost his identity card and everything else favonovel.com had on him.
Furthermore, Kort had sent various business tycoons out to sniff out about his whereabouts.
So, Gerald was forced to avoid places that were too formal and proper. Gerald had no other choice but to come to such places to hunker down.
He was given a taste of being a miserable and distressed homeless outcast.
“Raquel?”
Gerald also recognized this girl.
She was Marven’s girlfriend who practiced taekwondo.
A couple days ago, Gerald found out through the internet that following his downfall, Marven’s travel company came crashing down as well.
A perfect demonstration of a rippling effect.
“Hahaha! I really did not expect to bump into you here. Oh, why? I heard that the company that you share with that fatty has already closed down. I heard he’s working as a pathetic little tour guide now. Haha! Look at you! You’re even worse compared to him! To think that you’re working at a construction site owned by my hubby’s family!”
Raquel laughed with favonovel.com hand over favonovel.com mouth.
“Oh! Mr. Brown, Miss Raquel, do you know this young man?”
The foreman bowed as favonovel.com asked respectfully.
“This has nothing to do with you! Move aside!” Raquel replied coldly.
The foreman hurriedly shuffled away.
After that, Raquel crossed favonovel.com arms in front of favonovel.com chest and sneered as favonovel.com looked Gerald up and down.
“Man, I really didn’t expect to see you here. You used to be so cool back then. Too bad you had to end up in such a state. Or perhaps, you’re just putting on an act? Is this your twisted little hobby? To experience life as a penniless nobody?”
Raquel asked with a worried tone.
After all, Gerald had slapped favonovel.com across the face once.
“If you’ve nothing else to say, I’m leaving.”
