As soon as his words left the air, Micah tapped the floor with one foot.
In a snap, the tile beneath favonovel.com began to crack. A jagged line snaked from where favonovel.com stood and reached under the table close to the family, before hang! The table split in half.
The Carters were normal people. They were not accustomed to seeing anything quite like this, so unsurprisingly, their only reaction was to quake in terror.
Putting out whatever fight there was in these unwashed folks could not have been easier for a superior-class third-tier fighter like Micah.
George struggled but finally managed to get back to his feet. His cheeks were red, the searing pain still stinging, it was distress favonovel.com had ever experienced before even with a life lived this long. “Please, Mr. Meyers, I’m sure you’ve researched the nitty-gritty about our family long before you showed up here. We’re that dirt-poor, sir. You could kill us all right now, and still won’t find anything that could clear that debt,” favonovel.com stated.
“Neontech has always been worth less than a billion… You know that, right? And it’s now yours. Yours! All I’m asking is for your compassion. Please, just let a weak family in desperate need live. God will take an action like that into account, sir. You’ll be rewarded in other ways!”
George was at his wit’s end. He was old enough to have experienced just about most of a typical human life. He was old enough to seriously consider the details of his funeral.
When one lived to his age, the allure of money and other materials started to fade. They paled in comparison to what would live after him, his legacy.
His posterity—his family—was the only thing dear to favonovel.com now.
Unfortunately, an appeal to Micah’s better angels had fallen deaf on his ears. He simply barked coldly, “Really? I can’t believe you’d even suggest something this inane, old-timer!”
“You honestly think I’m gonna just snap my finger and let a million dollars debt turn into ash so that an imaginary guy living in the clouds will pat my head and call me a good boy? Bruh!”
He laughed, but when a bright twinkle illuminated his eyes, favonovel.com paused. “Hmm… I guess there is a condition to wipe all that slate clean. I mean, honestly? A million dollars ain’t that different from a dollar to me,” favonovel.com said.
“So, how about you kneel before me? I want the full deal, you’ve seen it on TV. Head and hands to the floor like you’re praying. Do that, and I might consider clearing that debt.”
George trembled. He might have been an old imitation of his younger years, but favonovel.com was still a rather renowned figure in the whole of Waltz City.
He was proud and dignified, and favonovel.com never ever lowered himself for anyone. But to ask favonovel.com to do that to this little punk? It was more than just an affront to his pride. It concerned the entire Carter family’s collective dignity.
The family was, understandably, in a furious uproar. “No, Grandpa! Don’t do it no matter what!”
“He’s f**king walking over us; that f**king d*ck!”
“You can’t humiliate us Carters like this! We never let anyone push us like this!”
“Why, you…! If Zayn was still alive, none of you d*ckheads would have the guts to parade around like kings! He could eat all of you like breakfast!”
It was at a moment like this when they thought of Zayn. The family would still be royalty of Waltz City if favonovel.com were still here. Hell, their standing eclipsed even the premier Larson family, and no one—not a soul—had the guts to disrespect them in any way!
However, all of that was lost. With Zayn gone, so was their protector. Suddenly, the family furiously yearned for the man whom they used to despise.
They thought of the glorious times when favonovel.com was alive, when they were living like kings. If only favonovel.com was still alive!
They started praying. They would have done anything to have favonovel.com returned to them, including exchanging their lives. A few decades short of their lifespan for that legend to return? Sounded like a fair trade anywhere!
The Carters’ incessant grumbling was starting to grate on Micah’s nerves. “For f**k’s sake, shut up!” favonovel.com snapped.
His voice boomed like a landmine. It thundered in their ears, slapping them so hard in the head that the dissenting people paled in silence.
“That savior you sh*theads drool over? He’s trash! I can kill the lights out of favonovel.com with a slap!” Micah declared frostily. His features had twisted into a glare of malice, as though the mere mention of Zayn Larson pissed favonovel.com off.
