Eden : Sudden Wealth System

"Agh! It hurts so bad!"

Several men dressed in their alma mater campuses laughed at the thin, black, and dirty man who had fallen to his knees. They seemed to be walking towards him, who was trying to get up while his knees were shaking, unable to withstand the pain.

"You're just a stupid child who doesn't know yourself. How can you force us to pay for your tuition fees?!" Jack Matt, one of the student group leaders, said in a haughty voice.

He is the son of a famous nickel businessman in town. That's why he likes to step on the heads of poor people around him.

"Didn't you promise that?! If I finish doing your homework for one week, you will give me money to pay for my education!" Eden Flick shouted demandingly, and he was the student the students were toying with.

When he screamed, his lips were bleeding from being kicked by one of them until he fell. His face was pale because he couldn't eat much due to saving money, making him even more apprehensive.

"Tsk, someone like you deserves to be fooled." Bob Miley, a round man, said mockingly.

There were three of them, and another was a bespectacled man who looked relaxed among the three. But he was not a good man. Eden knew they both wanted to destroy his pride in front of people who could only walk around because they were reluctant to have sex with men.

Eden is a poor person because he can't run away or even escape from them after this.

"Ouch!" Eden spat violently, making Bob, Jack, and Lylan glare at him. "Your parents must be ashamed to have useless children who pretend to be powerful like you!" he shouted harshly. He was already very annoyed with what someone in front of him was doing.

Eden was already annoyed enough by the three of them, and he was patient enough to face those who were arbitrary towards someone in his position.

If only he were a rich man's son, he would destroy them. If only he had wealth, he would surely make them regret their actions! He will pay them back like what they did! It was your promise, and he ensured it would come true one day!

"Ha ha ha ha! A poor man's son like you brings shame to your family! We are proud children. That's why we can do this to a good-for-nothing like you."

"What should we do with him?" Bob asked after laughing with his two friends.

"Better not be too hasty," said Jack and took an egg out of his bag. "I've seen people throw eggs on television. I wonder how he will experience it."

Bob and Lylan chuckled, then took what they wanted to keep bullying him. Eden clenched his fists as they took the sticks and the sand. He would accept all their treatment to be shown to the head of the university's foundation. He needs justice after this!

Crack!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Eden looked at Jack's face, who was already laughing from ear to ear, followed by Lylan and Bo, when his head had been pelted with eggs until the egg-white liquid flowed down his face. He refrained from beating them because they always relied on power, and some were bored, afraid of these three humans not having respect for this person.

After Jack throws an egg in his face, he gets another sandblast from Bob and Lylan. After that, his body fell again. Eden endured excruciating pain in his back because the man roughly beat him and liked their hearts.

Grimacing in pain, Eden screamed as his foot was stepped on. Swearing came out of their mouths until finally, after they were satisfied, the three left without guilt, even when noticed by students who shuddered with fear.

Eden's face was dirty, and his body reeked from the stench of broken eggs. His lips were bleeding, his back was so sore, and all the suffering was felt alone.

"Insolent children! You guys don't even think of someone like me." Eden held his aching leg, and I'm sure he still walked towards the head of the foundation's room, about five hundred meters from where he was being bullied.

He wasn't sure that the head of the foundation would defend him since they were being bowed down with money. The people around him who pay attention to him also don't care and don't want to get involved with a poor man like him. Somehow, destiny could have made Eden study here, and I don't know what possessed him first to designate this university as the place where he continued his studies.

"Mr. Head of the Foundation! I want to report bullying by students!" As soon as he got there, Eden immediately shouted in front of his office and made several of the people inside turn their heads.

It seemed that there was already a meeting when he arrived, and that made Eden even more excited to scream for justice.

"Give me justice! Jack, Bob, and Lylan mistreated me!" Eden said again, making Mr. Mark get up and hold the broomstick.

"Don't you know what's going on in my room, you poor boy! You better get out of here and don't embarrass me!" Mr. Mark said as he pointed the broomstick at him as if he was shooing away.

His gaze was cruel, and there was no gentleness, which made Eden even more furious.

"As the head of a foundation, you don't even want to take responsibility for students being bullied at your university! You are a useless man!" Eden said harshly, making Mr. Mark's eyes go round.

This was the first time he was insulted by one of the inexperienced kids who didn't know anything. His hand was ready to be raised with the broom he still held.

"You child has no manners! You poor child! Get out of my sight!"

Eden fell again to the ground with a substantial bump on his head. His body went limp instantly as the drops of blood started to flood his eyes.

"You…” Eden said while pointing at Mr. Mark's face, which had turned pale for what he did. “I will repay you! I'll make you my slave when I have the money!"

Eden vomited blood. In that instant, he heard many people calling his name, and one of them was a man he didn't recognize. His body swayed from being lifted by the man, and he knew where he was going.

"Wake up... You've suffered enough already. Do you want wealth? I can give you riches if you will accept the conditions…”

A broken voice was heard before Eden finally opened his weak eyes. He was in a hospital and lay helpless on a bed when she regained consciousness.

"Agh..."

"Mr. Flick ... you awake?"

Eden turned the way of sound and found a nurse who panicked and immediately called a doctor for him.

"Where am I?" he asked weakly, making the nurse turn around.

"In the hospital, you are in the VIP room because you are a patient with a lot of money in the bank account. You must be from a rich family, right?"

"Huh? A lot of money?" Eden asked in disbelief while his head was still hurting a lot.

"Yes, you have $1,500,000 million in your bank account. Ah, sorry, this is your cellphone. I had to check your cellphone earlier to find out your name and identity. All treatment and medical expenses have been paid in full. The doctor will examine you in a moment so that you will get better soon."

Eden took his cell phone confusedly. "1,500,000 dollars? Where did I get that money? I've never had this much money before."
