2 Pickle seller!?

The eyes of Old Ka had already reddened, he bitterly looked towards Ray, "Little Ray, why do you trouble yourself? You are always helping me pay those ruffians, how can I let this go on…."

"Old Ka, Don't say such a thing. When I just arrived and wasn't used to life here, I probably wouldn't even have a friend to talk to, if it wasn't for you. You are my benefactor, and this is my way of repaying you."

"You kid….. What should I say to you….." Old Ka seemed to understand that he couldn't convince Ray and could only sigh.

Ray didn't mind and laughed, it was a dull yet sincere laugh. As if the extortion earlier didn't affect his mood slightly, "By the way, how is your wife's illness?"

"She is recovering steadily, thanks to you we could perform the operation in time. If you didn't lend us money that day, we don't know how we will gather such an amount of money.."

"Don't mind the small details old Ka. Your wife is safe, that's all matters. " Ray said with a smile in his face.

Old Ka gave a bitter laugh, "Little Ka, the money you lent me will definitely be returned, if I'm unable to repay everything before I die, my daughter will carry on the debt... Alas, if it wasn't for me, that 200,000 dollars of yours can definitely be used to open a nice shop in a better area. You wouldn't need to come here and sell pickle, and wouldn't need to endure those ruffians torment."

Ray Tristan curled his lips, "I somewhat enjoy such a way of life, selling pickle isn't bad, it is simple yet provides enough for meals."

"You are too..." Old Ka was a little depressed as he said, "Little Ray, you are only 21 or 22 years old, other youngsters of your age are either studying in university, or diligently trying to build a career. Right now you don't even have a girlfriend, are you planning to sell pickles forever? You aren't worried, but I feel worried as I watch you."

Seeing Old Ka genuinely express worry for himself, Ray unconsciously revealed a slightly bitter expression, it's not that he was not worried, he just didn't feel fully accustomed with this life, this place.

After the night fell, Ray Tristan tidied his stall, and pushed the cart back to the small apartment he rented.

This was a small apartment that has been around for who knows how many years. The rent for each month was only 100 dollars. It's only because nobody wanted to live here that it was this cheap. Unlike other people who worried about the house falling apart, Ray Tristan decided to move in the moment he saw how cheap it was.

Ray Tristan's house had very simple furnishings, it was mostly second hand goods others dumped away. There was a bed, a cabinet, a chair, and a TV that could only watch some basic channels.

After doing all this he was finally free now.

"It's time to take out the trash.", Ray said with a vicious glint in his eyes.

He went out of his apartment and walked on street. He went to the most prosperous area of this region called the rainbow district. There is a place where people gather together to drink and party. It's called a bar. He found this place new and amusing. It's a fun place to relax but he wasn't here today to relax.The bar's neon lit signboard wasn't considered dazzling, the bar that could only be considered mid-sized contained a mysterious air, brilliantly colored rose shaped lights were decorated on the signboard.

Those ruffians who extorted money from him today comes here every day to party and drink. They came here today too.

Ray followed them here today because he has a special gift for them. They are going to like it very much.

So he went in the bar, took a seat, ordered a drink and drank it quietly. He kept his eyes on the five ruffians also. They are on the same floor as him.

After finishing his drink, he got up and went to wash room to freshen up a little. When he came back those ruffians he is following were exiting the bar. He also followed them.

They went out in a parking lot where a lot of cars were parked. They rode a black medium sized shabby van and went away. Ray couldn't follow a car on feet but he has other way.

Ray Tristan smiled and suddenly disappeared from the place he was standing.

He appeared on the rooftops of the parking lot like a magic trick. Then he watched the roads below him. He was searching for the van that those ruffians were in...

He quickly found them....

"You won't even know that you annoyed whom but be sure not to cross my path ever again if you are reborn. Otherwise, you will repeat the same mistake. "

Saying that Ray made a flicking motion with his hand. Just as Ray made that motion that van which those ruffians were riding suddenly lost control of it's break and crashed hard at the turn of the roads.

The van was mutilated badly due to the accident. But that's not all, after the crash the car caught on fire and within a few seconds, it exploded with a 'boom' sound.

All the five ruffians inside the van died. But they died thinking that this is just an accident. They cursed their bad luck in anger and pain. But they didn't know that they gave invitation to the bad luck themselves. If they knew, they will die again but that will be death by regrets.

Ray is finally satisfied by the deed. He was very annoyed by these pesky brats. They came and annoyed him day after day. After today they won't be able to annoy anyone else.

With this his work for today ended truly. Now he can go and sleep peacefully.

He was about to go back when he heard a sound.
