Chapter 26: The 20th

Date 20 Mar 2321

Time 15:45

Location Sky Blossom city, Wyatt Residence

Placing an order for the Hoverbike at Guild Association Garage thanks to Martha, I bid my goodbye to Susan and Martha and headed home.

Creating 50 F rank cards had me completely drained and running on fumes, if not for cheering Susan and discussing the mass production phase of my plan with her, I wouldn't bother spending another second awake rather than resting.

All I wanted to do now was to have a good refreshing sleep, but it seems the Five people blocking my house front door had different plans.

As I reached my home I saw five people blocking no more like guarding my house front door.

Two people among them seemed familiar, they were the tall and short duo from last time who came to remind me of the money I owe them.

If I remember correctly I did ask them to come on the 20th and that is today, aren't they punctual.

As I neared my house I could feel the hostile gaze of the five goons, the tall and short duo hurried towards me shouting, "where have you been you dumbass? You know how long we were waiting for you?" The other three goons still stood laid back as if waiting to watch a show.

I didn't answer the goons but looked at them blankly.

"You deaf? Didn't you hear him ask you a question twerp? Or are you just too scared to answer!"

"Hahaha.. Look at his face drained of expression with fright, cousin blame me for having a fierce face. Calm down kid nothing will happen as long you got our money."

"You do have our money right? You better have it otherwise..."

"Enough! Cousin, he will faint if you scare him anymore. Listen up kid we came yesterday evening to inform you about the other procedures my second cousin had to go through and the increase in compensation. But you were out."

Hearing that they came yesterday too, I shook my head in understanding as I took 1,250,000$ from Ben Li, no wonder they came yesterday.

Running a loan shark, scam and extortion seem to be an easy enough and high yielding business.

First, you scam the person, then lend the person money with unbelievably high-interest rate and later you extort the money you lent to that person.

This way you haven't spent a penny and people still owe you a huge sum of money with enormous interest rates. It seems I chose the wrong direction for my money earning plan.

"Here's the bill kid,

500,000$ for bone alignment surgery.

670,000$ for second bone alignment surgery.

234,000$ for rehabilitation and treatment.

121,000$ for the private therapist.

293,000$ for the Drugs.

150,000$ hospital charges

That brings us to a total of - 1,968,000$.

Cheque not accepted, only wire transfer."Said the short goon once again waved a sheet of paper in front of me and quickly pocketed it. He couldn't be more obvious, maybe he thought I would not dare to ask to see the bill.

All Young Wyatt did was bump into this dude and a group of people surrounded him and started to intimidated and extort him. These people couldn't be more shameless asking 1,968,000$ just for a bump.

But I was not Young Wyatt, I grabbed the hand of the short goon before he could pocket the sheet of paper and asked "Mind if I take a look?"

The shorty tried to lessen my grip but it was late, I took the paper, it read a recipe on how to make good chicken fajitas?.

'WTF can you guys be a little professional?'I thought looking at the goons in front of me and then said"this doesn't look like a medical bill!"

The goons fidgeted, the short one hurriedly shouted"Wrong paper, it's my wife's secret recipe! It seems the medical bill is in my house."

'Good save buddy' I thought and just gave him a blank look, this only angered the goon and he started shouting pointing at me, "How dare you? You should be thankful that we are not asking for more compensation other than the hospital bill. Your wings seemed to have hardened seeing my good side, Fu<k boy! Now you have done it? Add another million to the bill for emotional compensation."

It's amusing to see how the goon's face turned redder and redder with every word he spouted out, feeling that I was not threatened by him, the goon came closer to me with his face right in front of mine he intently glared into my eyes trying to intimidate me.

But I didn't back down and glared right back at him, it somehow turned into some kind of weird stare contest. Feeling belittled, the goon grew more aggressive and pushed me but to his surprise, I didn't budge an inch and a silver light shone on my skin.

Seeing this silver light the goons beside me were scared shitless, even the three laid back goons near my front door were dumbfounded.

"Did you just attack me B!tch? I guess you leave me no choice but to defend myself."

The two goons did not waste their breath and ran back to the three goons at the back. The three goons at the back were more alerted than these two as they directly summoned their Bronze grimoire according to their training at Zhang Mercenary.

Seeing the three goons at back summon grimoires I understood why the two goons ran back to them. 'Interesting' I thought, cause not many people know I am a silver card apprentice, there is no way Ben Li would know that I was a silver card apprentice to send three-card apprentices.

Either Ben Li should be a very cautious person or he somehow got the information of me contracting a silver grimoire. It didn't matter either way it's about time I made them cough up what they owe Young Wyatt.

After waiting till midnight at Wyatt's house yesterday Robert Wang wasn't done he returned to Wyatt's house in the morning but only to find that goons from last light were also back with an extra card apprentice and continued to block the Wyatt Residence.

Having his share of experience in society teacher Wang knew that these goons were either from loan sharks or a bunch of scamsters. Either way, he comes out as the hero in front of Wyatt that's what matters here.

So, teacher Wang chose to hide in the corner. This way when Wyatt returns and is in trouble he can walk in and act as the hero doing the most adult thing,' calling the cops'.

The scenario was set and all he had to do was wait patiently like the hunter waiting for the prey to walk into the trap.

Applying for a leave teacher Wang waited patiently, and his patients bore fruit as Wyatt showed up at last at 15:45.

Seeing the way things were headed Wang thought that the twerp Wyatt had not changed much as he just let the goons walk all over him like that. It's better this way as the more pathetic Wyatt was, the easier it was for him to be the hero in front of Wyatt.

Seeing that the things between the goons and Wyatt were getting heated, Wang directly called the cops before deciding to make an entrance.

But to his surprise, as he was about to go out to make an entrance, with an intimidating aura Wyatt moved at high speed towards the goons.

Seeing that timing was not right yet Wang crawled back to his corner. To gain the most goodwill the hero has to make an entry when things get most desperate.

While Wang was fantasizing about his heroic entry, Wyatt was going to have his first card fight in this world.
