Chapter 072 – Jacob’s “Home”
***** Even in the West End… where every day was soaked in bloodshed, unrest, war, and death, living conditions had never been this miserable. At the very least, the residents there always had proper food, clothes that actually covered their bodies, and their tents… While they certainly weren’t luxurious homes, they were still far better than most of the collapsing structures surrounding Zach now. This place was far worse. Different thoughts flickered rapidly through Zach’s mind, wondering how such a place could exist in a second-ranked city… a city whose annual GDP supposedly reached into the trillions. He couldn’t help but wonder whether such a place had always been there, if it had always looked like this, or if it had slowly decayed into this state while the rest of the city pretended not to notice. And perhaps the most immediate question… What exactly were they doing here? However, despite the storm of thoughts running through his mind, Zach said nothing. His fa
Chapter 073 – The Aggressive Woman
***** Zach stared silently at the woman glaring daggers at him like an enraged beast guarding her territory. He showed no reaction, however, if someone were to look carefully into his eyes now, they would notice something quite unusual hidden deep within them. Questions, confusion, and a trace of disbelief. They churned silently beneath that composed exterior as he stared at her. This woman looked entirely unfamiliar… her appearance, posture, and even the hostility radiating from her. Yet… he knew her. And in truth, the only reason he managed to recognize her was that she was here. Had he met her somewhere else unrelated to Jacob, he might have walked past her without sparing even the slightest glance. That was how drastically she had changed. Zach did not possess a photographic memory, but his recollection was still far sharper than the average person’s, so faces he had seen repeatedly in the past rarely escaped him. And yet… Even he had almost failed to recognize t
Chapter 074 – The Aggressive Woman II
***** The reason Patricia hadn’t realized that Zach was piggybacking someone earlier was simple… She had been far too consumed by her rage and hostility. But now… She froze for a second, and then… she turned, her gaze moving in the direction the voice had come. In the next second, her expression cracked. “Jacob?” she blurted out, her voice carrying unmistakable shock. For a brief moment, she simply stared at him as if her brain had abruptly stopped working. Her eyes scanned him… his pale complexion, sweaty face, trembling limbs, and most of all… The streak of blood staining the corner of his lips. The shock in her gaze lingered for exactly two seconds, then it vanished, and just like that… What replaced it was something far uglier. Her finger shot out, stabbing toward Jacob like a spear. “You!” She spat. “So now we’ve graduated to the stage where you can’t even stumble home on your own again?” The sarcasm and harshness in her voice were intense. “You actually ha
Chapter 075 – A Pitiful Anita
***** “Mother!” A voice suddenly rang out from inside the half-dilapidated house… helpless, frustrated, and deeply exhausted. As soon as Patricia, who had been moments away from exploding just now, heard it, she blinked once, then... Her entire demeanor flipped. “Daughter,” she responded softly, her voice suddenly gentle in a way that felt almost surreal compared to the raging hurricane from moments ago. “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” She spun around so quickly that it almost looked like someone had physically yanked a switch inside her. The woman who had been spewing venom just now… ready to verbally dismantle Jacob piece by piece, suddenly became the complete opposite. The transformation was so abrupt that even Zach, who had seen his fair share of strange human behavior, was momentarily caught off guard. His brows lifted, but surprise only lasted for a second. He regained his composure almost instantly, and turned his head, his gaze following the direction
Chapter 076 – A Pitiful Anita II
***** Anita looked utterly pitiful… her eyes red, her posture slumped, and the slight sway in her stance made it seem like a single nudge could send her collapsing into sleep mid-conversation. Hearing her, Patricia froze for a moment, unable to react, then ultimately… she grew anxious, her expression softening into panic. “Daughter… I was just…” Patricia looked genuinely flustered, having no idea how to respond, then: “I’m sorry.” She stepped forward quickly, pulling the exhausted woman into her arms in an apologetic embrace. At the same time… While the emotional reunion was unfolding, Jacob quietly tapped Zach’s shoulder. “Young master,” he said awkwardly, his voice carrying deep embarrassment. Zach glanced sideways at him, and instantly… Jacob swallowed nervously. “I… I apologize that you had to witness all of this,” he muttered. His expression was extremely apologetic, as though he had somehow committed a crime against Zach’s dignity. Hearing him, Zach blink
Chapter 077 – Patricia’s Confliction
***** Patricia stared silently at her daughter for a moment, then her lips parted… wanting to launch into another argument. But… “Hmph,” she snorted and looked away. “Hufff!” Anita released a small, helpless sigh, massaging her temples helplessly, then she gazed back at Jacob. “Father,” she called gently, unable to hide her anxiety, “are you sure you don’t need to go to the hospital for treatment?” “I…” Jacob began, but before he could finish… “Please don’t be bothered about the money,” Anita added quickly. Her voice was soft, but her determination firmer. “I just received my salary,” she went on. “It may not be much, but it would definitely cover something.” She hesitated slightly before adding quietly, “And if it’s not enough… I still have the savings I’ve been keeping for the acting role audition.” The moment those words left her mouth… Jacob’s entire body stiffened. Then almost mechanically, he refocused his gaze on his daughter, staring at the sincerity and d
Chapter 078 – The Unlivable Living Room
***** Inside a living room, or… wait. Calling it a living room felt like an exaggeration. At first glance, it looked tidy, but the longer one looked at it… the more unsettling the sight became. The walls were bare, the plaster peeled away to reveal rough red bricks, with thin cracks stretching like spiderwebs across the surface. The windows didn’t inspire much confidence either. Several of them had been patched with pieces of cardboard, carefully taped into place in an attempt to block out the wind, rain, and pollution. The effort had clearly been made with patience, but even a child could tell that those makeshift repairs wouldn’t survive a slightly strong breeze, let alone rain. The floor, as well wasn't in any better condition. It was bare cement, worn down by years of use, with shallow pits exposing rough sand beneath. In several places, the surface had eroded so badly that shallow potholes had formed, exposing patches of rough sand beneath. And finally, there was
Chapter 079 – A Leopard, Indeed, Really Doesn’t Change Its Spot
***** “Thank you very much.” A voice, soft, tired, but sincere suddenly echoed. Zach paused, then slowly lifted his head, turning slightly toward it. It came from Anita. At this moment, she was silently studying Zach, her expression looking soft, exhausted, and deeply appreciative. It was a stark contrast to the version of her Zach knew well. Back then, Anita had been dominant, mischievous, and stubborn… an unstoppable little troublemaker who always seemed one step away from creating chaos. That version of her from back then had been the current version of Patricia… just milder in comparison, but now? Standing here in this battered living room, Anita seemed like a different person entirely. The resemblance was uncanny. For a fleeting moment, it felt as though the Patricia Zach once known had somehow traveled through time and space, arriving in this moment. There was only one clear difference. Anita looked exhausted and disheveled, the fatigue in her eyes making
Chapter 080 – “You Won’t Believe Who This Sir Is!”
***** Jacob’s eyes gleamed as though he had just discovered buried treasure. Hearing him, Patricia frowned, her gaze sharpening. For a moment, she stared at Jacob, then lifted her chin in contempt. “You?” she said with visible disbelief. “An extremely important guest?” Her tone made it sound like she had just heard the most ridiculous joke imaginable. She chuckled in the following second, the sound full of contempt. “What kind of important guest would follow you into this barn?” she continued mercilessly, her hand gesturing lazily toward the room. With that said, her eyes shifted toward Zach. She examined him briefly… his calm, unreadable expression, and quiet composure. However, instead of getting impressed, it only reinforced her conclusion. In Patricia’s mind, any truly important person would have shown at least some hint of discomfort and disgust at the miserable condition of the house, but Zach showed none of those. Just then, however… “Mother!!!” Anita’s v
Chapter 081 – “You Can’t Be Serious”
***** At Jacob’s words, Anita and Patricia’s eyes narrowed with confusion, both women exchanging a brief glance. Then they turned back toward Jacob, Patricia’s expression darkening almost instantly. “Are you going to speak,” she spat coldly, “or should I leave if you’re going to waste my precious time?” Her voice dripped with irritation, her words cutting. “I have far better things to do than sit here watching your pathetic attempt at suspense.” She paused before adding spitefully, “Your dramatic shenanigans are already exhausting.” Jacob instantly scratched the bridge of his nose awkwardly, a sheepish look appearing on his face. “I…” He cleared his throat deeply. But just then, his timid expression disappeared, replaced by pride. “I present to you…” He began, his voice rising with exaggerated excitement as he pointed at Zach theatrically. “…Young Master Zach!” Finished saying that, Jacob’s eyes shone brightly, awaiting their reaction. But… silence. Both Anita and P
