Chapter 128 Earon was unaware of the situation, so he did not say anything. He pushed the buns toward Ethan. Wilbur sighed because Ethan was sobbing uncontrollably. He said, “Let’s eat first and talk later.” Ethan wiped his tears and nodded silently. Then, he started to eat because he was famished. A few customers cast them judgmental glances. A woman mumbled quietly, “What the hell? Why did he invite the beggar to eat?” Wilbur instantly got triggered. He glared at the woman and said, “This is my brother. He’s not a beggar. You better watch your filthy mouth.” The woman jolted in fear because of his cold gaze. She hurriedly turned around and kept quiet. Wilbur scoffed, and he continued to eat with Ethan. He was finally full after a while. Wilbur passed him a tissue and said, “Now, tell me what happened.” Ethan sighed and started to tell his story. Ethan retired from the military and received over ten million dollars from Wilbur. Ele returned to his hometown, which was a small town in Kardon Province.
Even as a disabled veteran, he could live a comfortable life with that kind of money. He could even be considered a notable figure in his hometown. However, a childhood friend of his was aware of his wealth and approached him with an investment opportunity in a mine, promising him great profits. Ethan trusted his childhood friend and agreed to the proposal. That was the start of the scam. He was left penniless, and the scammer was long gone after he realized the situation. Ethan panicked. He had to take care of his parents, and he could not work because he was cr ippled. His family was doomed without the money. He never feared death on the battlefield, but for the first time, he wanted to die. He even made multiple attempts to take his
own life. His classmate, Wendy Lester, noticed his suicidal tendency and saved him. Otherwise, he would be dead. Wendy was also his childhood friend. She was extremely nice to Ethan. She kept guiding him and stayed with him. Finally, he decided not to take his own life and wanted to live again. A development project was underway in their small town, and his house happened to be within the area designated for demolition. The compensation was over a million dollars, so Ethan felt relieved that he could at least survive with that money. Little did he know that the person in charge of the construction was a local bully. That person was involved in money laundering. He was a manipulator. The compensation from the government dwindled to at mere twenty thousand dullars after going through his hands. Ethan could not accept it. All his neighbors received over a million dollars, so why was be the only one with 20 thousand dollars? The person in charge was clearly taking advantage of Ethan’s disability. Ethan fought for his right, and he refused to move. The bully demolished Ethan’s house in the middle of the night because he was furious. Because of that, Ethan’s parents were buried alive. He survived because Wernly asked him out for a stroll Chapter 128 That was the last straw for Ethan He lost an arm, and he could not walk. He could not do anything even if he wanted to fight.
