Capítulo 25: Strange Encounter

Ray came here because this place had a lot of good food stalls. Whenever Ray had extra money he would come here to satisfy his cravings for good food.

After finishing eating from various stall, Ray started to return home. He needs to catch a bus home so walked with haste.

He passed by a few pubs and heard earsplitting singing from the pubs. This is really morally wrong. It's so late at night yet you're singing so loud. Isn't this disturbing the residents? Ray stopped and looked at the pub with disgust, but then he turned around and kept walking. Suddenly someone pulled him back.

"Big brother…You…"

Ray turned around and realized the person was a girl with delicate looks. She was wearing a school uniform too.

Ray asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

The girl hesitated for a long time without saying anything. "Big brother… You… You think…"

"What are you trying to say?" If the girl wasn't pretty, he would have already lost his patience and rushed home.

"I wanted to ask you. Do you… Do you want me… to accompany… have company for one night?" The girl faltered with a fully blushed face.

"Company for a night?" Ray was baffled. It's not possible, right? Was this girl a prostitute? Looking at her pure face, Ray really couldn't believe that she was a hooker! But he thought about his wife and the night they met for the first time, he spontaneously cursed and slapped himself within his mind because you can't judge a book by it's cover nowadays. He should have learned that already.

Ray was excited at first. After all, he was still a teen experiencing his newlyweds life. Yet he still hadn't experienced sex with his wife(consciously) he felt his heart itching when he looked at the innocent junior in front of his eyes.

The girl realized that Ray was hesitating. She knew that he was tempted. However, this was her first time and she never did this before. Although she was forced into it, there wasn't any girl who wished to offer her virginity to a stinky uncle. She felt that Ray wasn't a bad person and he was even handsome. Since she was selling her body in the end, it would be better to offer it to Ray.

If the one standing here wasn't Remi but rather an experienced prostitute, Ray wouldn't have been approached. This was because Ray wasn't wearing any fancy clothes. It was obvious that he was a poor kid.

Remi struck while the iron was hot and said, "Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand is enough…"

"Ha?" Thirty thousand? She even demands thirty thousand? Ray opened his eyes widely. This isn't even a business but highway robbery! Ray may not have engaged in prostitution before, but he roughly knew the price. The better ones at most were 4,000-5,000 dollar. This girl demanded the price of thirty thousand. No matter how chaste you acted, it wouldn't even be worth this price.

The girl also noticed Ray's expression. After thinking a few moments, she understood why Ray felt that way. She further explained, "This… This is my first time." As such, thirty thousand dollar wasn't that expensive. If it wasn't the situation, she wouldn't have done something like that.

"First time? Does that mean you are still a virgin?" asked Ray as he stared at Remi. There were a lot of prostitutes that pretended to be a virgin. Do you think I am stupid enough for you to con me?

"…" Remi felt a bit embarrassed as she nodded her head.

Ray stared at Remi for quite some time. After a few moments, he slowly asked, "Since it is your first time, why would you still do it?"

According to the saying, 'the eyes were the gate to the soul', no matter how proficient a person's acting was in both behavior and facial expression, the gaze of the eyes would reveal the truth.

In matters of deception, Ray could be deemed a master. With the exception of a certain person, Ray's act of deception was flawless in front of others. He was articulate and eloquent.

After a closer look, Ray felt that the girl wasn't lying. In her eyes, Ray could sense some bitterness and helplessness.

Remi didn't want to share too much information about her personal matters but she uttered, "I need money to save someone's life." She was determined that she would do it only once. She didn't want people to look for her in the future.

"Saving a life?" Ray looked at her and he felt that while she was thin, she did not look thin because of severe sickness. He couldn't help but be curious and ask, "If you can explain clearly what you mean, I will pay for… your service."

Remi hesitated a while. Initially, she heard that the price per deed was only three to five thousand dollar. Thirty thousand dollar was definitely an exceptional price that she could get on a rare occasion. If she rejected him, it wouldn't be possible to have another customer that would pay such a price. Thus, she took the plunge and revealed what had happened. "My dad was hit by a truck and the driver escaped from the scene. He is now in a coma state. Most of the money at home was used to pay my father's hospital fees. However, the amount of money we had wasn't enough. The hospital said that if the thirty thousand dollar fee is not paid by tomorrow, they will stop treatment…" Remi burst into tears.

"Are you sure he wasn't isekai-ed by the truck-kun and currently living an adventurous life in a new world?"

"..."

"Nothing. Forget even I said that."

Ray looked at her. Even though he wanted to bed this girl, he knew that this action would be barbaric. Ray knew that he may not be a good person, but he was determined to avoid being a person that took advantage of others' helpless states.

"Haih!" Ray left a sigh. He thought he made some great money today. It never crossed his mind that the money would leave him so soon after coming into his pocket.

Ray took out the thirty thousand dollar that he obtained from the Game Center. He took out the remaining money that was originally his, stuffed the remainder into the girl's hand and said, "Take it to cure your father. Never lay foot in this place again."

This time, Remi was dumbfounded. She looked in wonder at Ray's back as he left. He just gave me this money and left? Over these past few days, she experienced and noticed the fickleness of this world. Her cousin didn't care much about her father. The hospital didn't offer any leeway for her father's treatment fee. However, a random stranger just handed her this amount of money?
