And he earned it only after two days trapped in Icalaterra. Even though he had to bet his own life to get that much money, his face looks so bright with an indescribable excitement.

He exchanges one gold coin for $893.64. And soon, a light occurs in front of him, and some dollar bills drop, along with a few pennies. Excited, he rushes back to the fast food outlet to order.

But again, he gets yelled at by the previous girl. “Why are you still here?”

“I just want to make an order,” says Jimmy.

“Making an order?” the girl squints.

Annoyed by the girl’s harsh treatment, Jimmy deliberately takes out a piece of $100 bill and shows it to the girl.

He expects the girl to be surprised and change her attitude. However…

“Whose money did you steal?” she inquires.

“Steal? It’s mine,” replies Jimmy.

“Bullshit!” the girl denies. “You just said you only had money to buy a bottle of mineral water.”

Jimmy ignores her argument, stepping forward, and putting the money on the table. “Just give me some food to eat! I’m dead hungry!”

“We don’t accept orders from a thief,” the girl shoves Jimmy’s money off the table.

Jimmy scrunches his face, before he picks the money back. “Okay, fine! It’s not my money. I’m just a beggar, and I got this from someone out there!”

“You are lying!” accuses the girl.

“Look! Why don’t you just give me something to eat, and then, you can take the rest,” Jimmy tries to bargain.

The girl glances at that one $100 bill. It is actually enough to buy more than 10 portions of the menu in her shop.

“Fine!” She takes the money. “Now, make your order quick! I still have so many works to do!”

Jimmy glances at the menu displayed. Just a moment, because he only needs something that can fill him up.

“That menu no. 4,” says Jimmy.

“A chicken wing with a rice plus coke?” the girl reaffirms as she picks a pen.

“Add another portion of rice, no coke, but one bottle of mineral water,” replies Jimmy.

He then looks for an empty table, while the girl goes to the kitchen to relay the note to her brother.

“Hey, Max! A new order,” says the girl as she leaves the note. “Ah, please put an extra chicken wing on the plate!”

“Is it your friend again?” asks the brother. “Come on, Laura! When will we get rich if you keep giving extra like this?”

“It’s just a beggar,” replies Laura in half shouting. “Stop whining! Helping the needy won’t make you poor!”

Soon, she gets back to Jimmy by bringing his order, with one extra chicken wing. It seems like she is not that bad at all.

But Jimmy doesn’t express any gratitude. He keeps glancing at her coldly, with a sour face. And so, the girl pays him back with a mean word.

“Make it quick, and leave! I bet you haven’t had any shower for days.”

After the girl leaves him, Jimmy sniffs at his armpit. He does look uncomfortable with his own body odor. But soon, before that girl getting too far away from him…

“Hold on, wait!” he calls. “Where can I get a bus to Summerfield?”

The girl shuts silent for a moment before giving an answer. “There’s no bus to Summerfield. Why don’t you beg someone for money and buy your own car?”

“What the?”

The girl just walks away by hiding her satisfied smile.

Irritated, Jimmy eats the food as fast as he can. The few customers in that shop watch him by hiding their silly chuckles.

“Look at how he eats!”

“Just like a hungry wolf that just managed to catch its prey.”

“He completely abandons all etiquette at the dinner table like an animal.”

Jimmy can hear them, but he doesn’t care. He admits how hungry he is, and continues devouring the rice and the chicken wing.

“You will know how delicious this food is after experiencing what I just experienced,” he grumbles in his heart.

Unlike those people, the girl who owns the food shop feels touched seeing how Jimmy enjoys the food so much

In just five minutes, Jimmy finishes everything and walks out by taking the bottled mineral water. He keeps whining about the girl, believing that she has lied to him.

He knows so sure there are buses from Drada to Summerfield. He just doesn’t know where to get them.

“She is cute, I admit it! But why is she so damn annoying?”

With a fallen shoulder, he walks along the road until he finds a bus. He lets the bus take him around the city until he reaches the terminal. But sadly, in the terminal…

“It just left a while ago,” says a terminal officer. “That’s the only bus to Summerfield today.”

“Ah, God,” Jimmy whines with a tired face.

“I’m afraid you have to wait for another two days,” the man continues. “Or maybe, you can rent a car. Anyway! What are you going to do in Summerfield?”

“I live there,” replies Jimmy before he walks away.

Jimmy starts checking the store inside that weird system again, and keeps scrolling. But nothing seems to be useful for his current situation. There’s not even a phone he can buy there.

“Oh, that’s right! I should just look for a phone booth!”

Well, it’s a big city indeed. But the phone booths have been abandoned by society since the age of mobile phones.

After looking for hours without any result, his attention is drawn to one motorbike dealer shop. He has the money. And usually, easy money is also easy to spend.

He doesn’t take too much time to think, and immediately crosses the street.

“That’s it! Let’s just buy a bike, and leave this shitty place!”

Yet, the receptionist keeps denying him.“If that's the case, I'll wait here until he comes,” Dotson insists.“There is no guarantee Mr. Morgan would be coming today. He's a very busy person,” explains the receptionist guy.“I'll stay here at least until you guys close,” says Dotson before looking for a seat.He keeps starting around, examining his surroundings just like a genuine detective. Occasionally, he steals glances at the receptionist guy.And as he expected, the receptionist starts acting unnaturally, making a call secretly, while occasionally glancing at Detective Dotson.“I've tried to chase him away, sir!

What's wrong with him contacting us?”A woman's chattering which is not so foreign to him ruins his mood and comfort.Jimmy throws back the blanket and then gets up to sit on the nursing bed, waiting for the arrival of the annoying Aunt Molly.“Oh, you are awake?” says Molly as she enters the treatment room, welcoming Jimmy's morning with a sour face. “That's great! Now get up and wash your face! I can’t waste my time here!”“Sorry, ma'am!” The nurse politely interferes with Molly. “You can't take him home yet. We still have to wait for the results of the examination and the evaluation of the doctor in charge.”“Did something happen to him?” asks Jackson McNeil.“A good Samaritan brought

    The third day on the Leawel Isles, Jimmy still has to continue the hunt, in the grassy lowland, located between the forest and the coastline.As Marco speculated, this place is indeed the rheas' favorite habitat, something Jimmy has never thought of before.“You see! One of the most important things in hunting is to know the habits and habitat of your prey,” explains Marco in a whisper.Unlike before, they bring Cynthia and Zoe along, but don’t give the two girls bow guns. This is better than leaving the two of them in the cave.The grass around them is quite tall, making it easy for them to approach their prey quietly. Not to mention Marco, who is also quite talented with a bow gun and rarely misses his target.They only need to kill 6 rheas, and manage to accomplish this even before midday. Everything is done by Marco alone, while Jimmy hasn’t hit a single rhea at all.“You see! We don’t need to immediately kill them!” Marco hands over his bow gun at Jimmy. “After injuring one rhea,
