Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 2 Good Samaritan

"Let's go take a look."

Zhou Hui was stunned for a moment, but decided to go over and take a look.

He was also feeling anxious.

If it was just a piece of glass, it would be fine, but if someone was injured, it would be a big deal.

Although he knew that this would bring him a lot of trouble, the kindness in his heart still drove him to go ahead.

"Forget it, I don't want to get into trouble."

One of the friends shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to go over.

If the other party was someone with a bad temper, none of them would have a good ending.

What's more, none of the people here are from a rich family and cannot afford to pay for a piece of glass.

"I have something to do too, so I'll leave first. We'll play next time."

The little fat boy was so scared that he ran away.

None of the remaining people were willing to go with Zhou Hui.

"Whoever broke it will go."

Azan held his head and said with a relaxed look.

He was still somewhat afraid of Zhou Hui and didn't even dare to look Zhou Hui in the eye when he spoke.

"Then I'll go by myself."

Seeing that no one was willing to follow him, Zhou Hui walked towards that house by himself.

He had no complaints in his heart.

After all, this is my own fault. It's a favor for others to help me, and it's also their duty not to help me.

There's nothing necessary about it.

Although Zhou Hui is 180cm tall and looks extremely cool and a bit ruffian, he still feels a little scared when faced with this kind of thing.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It'll be okay, it'll be okay."

Zhou Hui was still comforting himself, trying to calm himself down.

"Damn it! Which kid did this?!"

Before he reached the place, Zhou Hui heard the owner of the house shouting, and the sound seemed to tear Zhou Hui to pieces.

"It seems like I've run into someone bad."

Zhou Hui stopped and said something, and at the same time he began to feel frightened.

Then, Zhou Hui's pace began to slow down, and he walked to the door of the house cautiously.

"excuse me……"

Zhou Hui's voice was very soft, as if it was the meow of a kitten. When he poked his head out, he was very cautious and did not dare to act rashly.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the owner of the house immediately turned around.

Zhou Hui also saw his appearance clearly.

This is a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a pair of flip-flops. It seems that the vest can no longer support his increasingly fat body. He also has a gold ring on his hand. The only flaw is that there are some white spots on his hair.

He is dressed sloppily and looks like he doesn't care about his hygiene.

"Excuse me, I'm here to retrieve the baseball, and I saw you were heading this way."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately became furious.

Not here to apologize? But here to pick up the ball!

"Okay, so it was you who called, come over and take a look!"

As he said that, he pulled Zhou Hui by the collar and walked towards the broken window.

The middle-aged man was very strong and Zhou Hui was pulled over unconsciously, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Come here, come here, look at how big a hole you made in this piece of glass!"

The middle-aged man pointed at his own glass and almost spit on Zhou Hui's face.

"that……"

Zhou Hui hesitated and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was so frightened by the aura of this middle-aged man that he couldn't speak at all.

"I'm telling you, you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise you can't leave!"

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, showing no intention of letting Zhou Hui off. "Then how about you tell me how we can solve this problem?"

Zhou Hui asked.

It can also be seen from his tone that he will never be able to leave if the problem is not resolved.

Judging from what the middle-aged man said, he just wants money.

"I didn't expect you to be so sincere. From your accent, I can tell you're not a local. I won't make it difficult for you. Just leave the 5000 yuan here and you can go."

"What? 5000?"

Zhou Hui was shocked when he heard the middle-aged man's huge request.

This piece of glass costs 5000 yuan?

Is this glass rimmed with gold or something?

Although it was indeed Zhou Hui's fault for breaking the glass, it was wrong to ask for so much money!

Zhou Hui's father works in construction, so he knows a little about the price of glass.

Glass of this material can be made for just 1000 yuan.

Zhou Hui's family is not a wealthy one, so it is not realistic to ask a little kid to take out 5000 yuan.

"What? Can't you take it out?"

Zhou Hui nodded.

He didn't have much pocket money to begin with, and he came out today just to play baseball, so he didn't have that much money on him.

Zhou Hui tremblingly took out a few coins and a thousand-yuan bill from his pocket.

"This is the pocket money I saved for a week, that's all I have."

The middle-aged man snatched it away and began to count it.

"Only 1800 yuan in total? Are you sending away beggars?"

"That's all I have. Why don't you let me go home and I'll get it for you."

Of course the middle-aged man didn't believe what he said.

He also didn't know what kind of person Zhou Hui was, let alone where he lived.

If he doesn't come back, who can he complain to?

"You're dreaming, but I tell you, without 5000 yuan, you can't leave!"

The middle-aged man was very aggressive and no one knew what he was waiting for. He knew Zhou Hui couldn't come up with the money, but he still refused to let him go.

Zhou Hui didn't know what to do either.

If he ran away, he would feel guilty.

Call?

My parents are so tired every day. If they knew that I was in trouble, they would definitely be very anxious.

Moreover, their family conditions are not good, and Zhou Hui doesn't want the family to have any unnecessary extra expenses.

Now he is in a dilemma and no longer has the momentum he had on the baseball field.

"I've been watching for a long time. As an adult, can't you see that this kid really has no money? Why can't you just let him go?"

An old voice was heard, Zhou Hui looked back and saw a little old man standing there pushing a bicycle.

He had never met this old man before, but Zhou Hui felt a special sense of intimacy with him. He didn't know why.

"Hey, you old man, it's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. This is not your glass. If you have the guts, pay him for it!"

"Okay, I'll pay!"

As he spoke, the old man stopped his bicycle and walked up to the middle-aged man.

"How much do you want from him?"

"Twenty dollars."

Hearing this, the old man felt his pocket, took out five thousand-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to the middle-aged man.

"You're lucky, let's go."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and let Zhou Hui go.

With the help of kind people, Zhou Hui was able to escape from trouble this time.

But he still didn't know why this old man wanted to help him.
