On the wide streets of the City of Darian, a crowd of people could be seen whispering at each other as they watched the drama happening across the street near a prestigious hospital.
A rather gorgeous lady with a pair of bright green eyes, indicating she's a foreigner.At that moment, she was shouting at a fat man whose weight could easily be compared to three adult men, and to add insult to injury, he was wearing worn-out clothes, making the gossiping crowd throw disgusting and judging eyes at him.Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed, as fatty Sett was slapped across the face by the gorgeous lady. "I've had enough with you, Sett!" She pointed at his nose. Her face brewed in rage."This marriage was a mistake! If I had known that you were useless and poor..... What kind of future could you even give me? I highly doubt you can accomplish anything in life. You're just a spineless coward who can't even talk back and defend himself against his family even after being bullied for so long! Are you even a man?" She screamed at his face, then bit her lip in anger."Do you expect me to be with a worthless man like you? Dream on! You are not worthy of me, Sett! You don't even know how to take care of yourself; you're purposeless!" She vehemently said.At this point, however, Sett, who was long numb, was not listening to his wife's rants anymore. His thoughts were drawn away from what happened a few hours ago.At that time, he was about to head to a nearby convenience store to apply for a part job after being kicked out of the mall as a janitor, not knowing that a terrible accident had ensued, as he received a call from the police station informing him of his parents' accident. The shock and fear of what happened to his parents propelled him to rush toward the hospital's location, as he felt his beating heart bursting with anxiety.He didn't even pay the cab driver due to him panicking. When he reached the medical wards and saw his parents' condition, he nearly fainted.Even now, as he blankly looked at his wife, who was in front of him, the words of the nurse were still echoing in his head."Your parents are in a coma and they need immediate surgery. Please understand that we will need you to deposit half of the necessary amount before we can proceed with the surgery."What the doctor said at that time was still fresh in his head.Just then, his thoughts were abruptly pulled back as he heard his wife, Sheila Laurel, screaming right at him."You fat bastard, how dare you ignore me?!" Sheila was breathing hard in resentment. Her finger was poking at Fatty Sett's forehead. She became even more furious when she saw Fatty Sett bowing his head without saying anything, being a pushover."I’m so sorry, My Love ." Sett looked away. He didn't dare to look his wife in the eye as he felt ashamed of himself.Although their marriage was only to solidify the relationship between the two distinguished families, it was only by name, and he wasn't allowed to touch her. Their relationship was not at all harmonious.The Laurel family has recently grown in strength, and they will soon be regarded as a first-rate family in Darian City. However, the situation wasn't like this before.
After all, his father, Charles Crossword, came from the Crossword Family, a relatively powerful organization, known throughout Darian City.
His father was next in line to inherit his grandfather, Francisco Crossword's, position as the head of the family, and even if the Laurel family would not honor the marriage after they became a first-rate family, they would still consider his face.
But who would've thought that his grandfather would instead strip off all his father's privileges about a year ago?Now the Laurel family has all the more reason not to honor the marriage.
Either way, Sett was then forced to quit college and look for a job to help support his family, while his parents, who couldn't get a job even after begging other companies, ended up as waste collectors who pick up trash on the city’s roadside.It was a disgrace to their name. Everyone mocked them. Also, since his younger sibling was still in high school, he desperately needed to earn money.
As time went on, he became a useless fat guy who everyone made fun of.At the age of twenty, the year he was supposed to become an intern with a bright future ahead of him, all faded into oblivion as fate decided to play a joke on him. Now, all he could see was his very bleak future, and on top of that, his parents had an accident that nearly killed them. No one could have thought that the once-young master of the Crossword family would suffer such a terrible fate and end up like this.At this moment, he raises his head to look at his wife’s once beautiful, very gentle, and meek face. But now? It was like he was being splashed with sharp and venomous words.He let out a small chuckle, which angered his wife further, but he was too numb to care, or even listen to her ranting. All he could do was to keep apologizing, all because he still loved her dearly and couldn't bring himself to hate her."Don't you ever dare call me “My Love” again! Here! This is all the money I can lend to you. Don’t you ever contact me again! I feel disgusted hearing your voice! The audacity you have to even dare to contact me." She took out a couple of bucks from her Louis Vuitton leather maiden bag then she threw money on Sett's worn-out shirt. The dollars scattered as it slowly fell to the ground."Hmmph!" She felt repulsed when standing beside him. She turned her heels away as she pressed her luxurious Bugatti's remote controlled key. As the car's door opened, she drove away without looking back while the crowd's fiery eyes gazed at her million-dollar Buggati, leaving behind Sett with a handprint across his chubby face.The people’s gossiping voices started to amplify. Their judgemental eyes were fixed on Sett like knives piercing through his skin.Some were even taking pictures and video recordings all while this scene was happening.
"That fatty was dumped by that pretty lady. If I was that girl, I'd do the same. A pig like him should never dream of eating swan meat." The crowd piped up.

"I know right? A poor fat guy like him should just castrate himself in some corner and not embarrass himself like this in public!" "Hey, do you think he’ll pick up the money after being humiliated like that?" "Him picking it up? That's hilarious! If he does that, then he would be throwing away his pride."

Sett didn’t know if he could endure this level of humiliation anymore. He knew that it was hopeless to fight Antonio, who was an amateur boxing champion and was once a representative from their senior high days. Sett doesn’t have a chance to win a fight against a guy like him."I’ll be waiting inside, Fatso. Oh, and don't you dare make Lucy and the others wait. Otherwise, I'll break your leg." Antonio eyed Sett dangerously. "Let's go, Anna."Sett struggled to get up while holding the ticket. This was the reason why he didn't want to get involved with his senior high school classmates anymore.Moments later, he was standing in front of the reserved room that was listed on the card he got from Antonio. He could already hear his classmate celebrating inside. He pulled all his courage together as he opened the room's door."Oi, oi, look who we have here; it's Fatso Sett! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and have a seat." A lanky man chuckles. Sett's attention was immediately draw

"I thought it would be nice to welcome a clown to the party, right?" Lucy giggled while everyone burst into laughter. "That's too cruel Lucy. But seriously, I'm glad that he left though, and you guys should also be glad. If he stayed here any longer, the place would smell like garlic and vinegar!" Upon hearing that, everyone bursts into another laughing spree while holding their stomachs, as they couldn't take any more “Fatty Sett jokes”. However, on the other side of the door. Sett was still standing there, listening to their whole conversation. "I thought you weren’t like the rest of them, Lucy." Sett let out a heavy sigh of disappointment. “I guess I was wrong.” he added as he started to walk towards the exit. Lucy was a female friend of his in senior high. She had always defended him against Antonio and the others who were bullying him. But little did Sett know, that unfortunately, people change.

"Umm, I don’t want to be rude but, there must have been some kind of mistake, Ms. Scarlett. My name isn't Mr. Crow. My name is Sett Crossword. I came from the Crossword family of Darian City. I don't know anything about the Crow family, so can you please let me go?" Sett blurted out nervously. As much as he wished to spend more time with Ms. Scarlett, he had to leave, in fear of what this group of strangers would do to him?"Don't be nervous, Mr. Crow. Rest assured, we aren't a hostile group. I was sent by the Crow family to be your aid.""Then there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Why do you keep insisting that I'm Mr. Crow? " Sett smiled warily. "Because you are." Scarlett confidently said. The look on her face implied that she was absolutely certain of it. Sett's mouth twitched. Was this lady toying with him? They should have investigated him first before jumping to conclusions that he is the so-called "Mr. Crow" or something. He took a deep breath as it was already past

At this time, Ms. Scarlett handed the camera directly to Sett's palm. As he turned on the video recording, his mind was filled with confusion as he saw a white-bearded man gradually stripping his tuxedo with his bare hands, revealing his extremely macular back which was identical to an ancient Greek titan named Atlas! Sett raised his brows. Why the h*ck is this guy stripping? "He is your grandfather, Mark Crow." Ms. Scarlett stated calmly. "Wait, that's him?! I thought he was old?” Sett surprisingly said. Ms. Scarlett slightly raised the edge of her lips. "Indeed, the president is old. I think he was eighty years old when this video was taken." "What?!" Sett was awestruck. Is that even the physique of a fre*cking eighty-year-old man? Wouldn't that put other bodybuilders to shame? His grandpa could even win the Mr. Olympia award! But what concerns him the most, was they do have undeniably similar faces. Just then, Sett noticed a birthmark on the back of his grandfather, which was

"What?!" Sett's face was imprinted with horror as he heard his sister's frantic screams along with the sound of something breaking and men shouting in the background. Damn it! Sett cursed as he clenched his jaw in anger. They better pray that his sister and the others are alright! He already knew who the masterminds behind this. It’s none other than his aunt and uncle. He always hated them to the core, as they were quite sadistic. The Crossword main household had already confiscated all of his parents' properties, and the only thing they had left was an old, dilapidated mansion. Nonetheless, they keep forcing them to sell the old mansion! They were just too much. Sett let out a breath along with a worried expression on his face. "Ms. Scarlett, ask your men to hurry up! I'm worried that something bad may happen to my sister. I won't be able to forgive myself." Ms. Scarlett nodded to assure Sett as she commanded the driver to pick up speed. Sett anxiously gazes at the faraway h

"What the f*ck are you talking about?! We didn't offend anyone named Mr. Crow!" Croc shouted as he watched his brother being choked to death by a red high heeled shoe. "We're from the Crossword family, a direct subordinate of Madam Claire, the daughter of the family head. I'm warning you, lady, if you don’t let us go, you'll regret it!" Ms. Scarlett smirked. "It looks like you're not getting the message, are you? And to top it off, you’re actually using a second-rate family name to threaten me. I gotta say, you guys are either loyal to that second-rate family you speak of, or you’re extremely stupid.” Ms. Scarlet let out a small sigh. “Let me make something clear; if I wanted to, I could order my men to wipe out the entire Crossword family. Heck, I could even make it like that family never even existed in the first place. But, lucky for you, I don't want to. You see, in the future, using that family as a stepping stone for Mr. Crow is a much needed variable in helping Mr. Crow." Cro

In Sett's excitement, he started examining the other notebooks and cards inside the suitcase. To his surprise, he found a driver's license! And all of the information and appearances came from him. "Seriously, how is this possible?" Sett murmured, literally dumbfounded by this discovery. He didn't stop there, as he started examining the other cards, and that's when he became speechless. 'How should I say this? This is too much.' Sett reflected as he examined the important cards in his hand, which included a military card with the large word "Arm-force of the United States" and others from various countries. If he could spell it in one phrase, then that would be "amazing!"Sett decided to ask Grandpa Mark about how he made these essential cards. But why is there no debit card or credit card? At least Grandpa Mark shouldn't forget about the money. Although these cards are important. 'On second thought, Grandpa Mark never lacked money. Maybe he thought these blue diamonds would suffic
