Chapter 1

Ting!

The voice of a message came to Dason's cell phone, which seemed to be fast asleep.

Dason woke up to the noise of his old cell phone with a cracked screen that looked unusable. However, it was the only cell phone he had.

"Who the hell is texting me so much?" Dason asked himself.

Still sleepy, Dason read the message on his cell phone: "100 thousand dollar will be transferred to your account number. Get ready!" The message was sent through an app that Dason had never seen before. 

He didn't even remember installing or downloading the app.

"Times are getting more sophisticated; there are ways for people to cheat. Huh!" annoyed Dason as he turned off his cell phone screen again.

Sleepiness was still very friendly to his eyes, so Dason hugged his favorite pillow again. However, when he was about to close his eyes, Dason remembered something.

"Eit, wait a minute, what application is that?" asked Dason curiously.

He checked his cell phone again and shook his head.

"You're weird; this must have been accidentally installed when entering ads from other applications," said Dason, putting his cellphone back on the table and having no intention of uninstalling the application.

Considering it a mere fad, Dason didn't want to think about it. He left the room and started doing his usual chores. While he was in one of the bathrooms taking care of a clogged toilet, his old cell phone buzzed again—another message on the app, this time reminding him to get ready for a special mission. Dason was annoyed, and he swore.

"What the hell is this again? Why don't you find someone else?" Dason annoyed.

At that time, his mother-in-law was near the bathroom, and she was disgusted to see Dason, let alone hear Dason's swearing, which was thought to be directed at her, and she scolded Dason very harshly.

"Hey shameless country boy! What are you saying, huh?" asked his mother-in-law while ruffling her waist with a red face holding her anger.

Dason just looked down and continued to work on the toilet.

"Are you deaf?" his mother-in-law asked again.

"We never need a useless man like you in this house!" shouted the mother-in-law, who looked even more furious and annoyed at Dason's face.

"Sorry, mom, I was just reading a...," defended Dason, who had not yet had time to continue his remarks. The mother-in-law was already shouting loudly again.

"You better get out of this house! You useless trash!" shouted the mother-in-law.

At the same time, one of Dason's sisters-in-law came from the direction of the kitchen.

"Why, Mom? What's the fuss with this man in the morning?" asked the beautiful blonde-haired woman.

Dason's mother-in-law started making up stories.

"Just kick him out!" replied Dason's sister-in-law.

That morning, Dason was even kicked out of the family home after he had previously been showered with insults and curses from his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Dason was indeed an outsider in the family. He was brought to his wife's family by his father-in-law, a wealthy, generous old man who had admired Dason's hard work and honesty when he spent a few weeks in the village on business. His intention was to educate and prepare Dason to carry on the family business, as he saw the potential in Dason, and he didn't trust his own sons, whom he thought were all crooked. He was so confident in Dason that he even arranged for his youngest daughter, the beautiful Audrey, to marry him. Unfortunately, three months ago, the generous man died in a traffic accident. Since then, Dason's life in the family has been a living hell.

Finally, Dason chose to leave the rich family's house.

"What are you waiting for? Leave this house immediately!" The mother-in-law scolded as Dason paused for a moment while looking at Audrey, who was standing in front of the bedroom door.

"Hey! Audrey doesn't need a husband like you! No one can keep you in this house anymore; even Audrey can get a rich man. Not like you, who are poor!" continued the mother-in-law dispassionately.

Dason expected a defense from Audrey, his wife, but she wouldn't even look at him, even though she looked sad. In a fit of rage, Dason then promised he would come back a much better man, and at that time he would prove to Audrey and his wife's family that he was worth keeping.

"We'll see later who this Dason is that you insult. At that time, you will all regret  it." Dason shouted in his heart as he glared at Audrey before walking out of the mansion.

After walking for a long distance while bemoaning his fate, Dason realized that he didn't have a penny in his pocket. His wallet was on the table in the room, and there was no way he was going back just to get it.

"Ah shit, I didn't bring my wallet," Dason said as he sat on the side of the road, ruffling his hair, watching the vehicles go by.

Dason tried to contact his only friend in this town, who happened to owe him money.

"Hopefully Corvin can return at least half of the money he borrowed," Dason muttered to himself while reaching for his cell phone from his pants pocket.

Tut!

Before Dason could even dial the number, Corvin called him first. Sobbing, Corvin actually asked Dason for help because he was in debt to one of the online loan applications for 800 dollars. Dason immediately fainted. He was confused about what to do now because Corvin also said that burly people might come to his boarding house again to collect him to pay off his debt. Concerned about Corvin's fate, Dason finally promised he would do something to help Corvin pay off his debt.

"You calm down, Vin; I will definitely help you," said Dason, trying to calm Corvin, who was still crying on the other end of the phone.

"Thank you, Son; you are indeed my best friend who is always there when I'm in trouble," said Corvin, praising Dason.

"Don't overdo it; I'll be at your boarding house soon," said Dason before hanging up the call.

Dason turned off the phone to Corvin while sighing heavily because he actually didn't have any ideas. He was frustrated.

"Oh my God, why is it like this?" Dason asked himself.

Some people passing by even gave him the side-eye and shook their heads.

Dason went back to roughing up his hair as he closed his eyes.

Just when his emotions were at their peak and he was about to scream, his old cell phone rang again.

"If it's a message to cheat, stop bothering me!" Dason shouted as he reached into his pants pocket for his cell phone.

This time it was a message saying that 100 thousand dollars had been transferred to his account.

"From this app again? Is he serious?" asked Dason curiously.

In desperate need of money, Dason was now moved to check his savings balance via m-banking, and he was astonished to find that the 100 thousand dollars had actually been transferred to his account number, and who knows who the sender was?

"Huh? Is this for real?" asked Dason in disbelief, and he rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure that what he saw on the screen of the old cell phone was real. Now he even had a balance of 100 thousand dollars, which he had never seen before.

"I'm rich!" Dason shouted while hugging his cell phone and laughing, making everyone think that Dason was crazy.

In the midst of the euphoria of getting a lot of money, suddenly another message came to his cellphone through the mysterious application: "What you should do? Use this money to help people in trouble and humiliate arrogant people! Time limit: 2 days! If you fail, you'll be in serious trouble!"
