37 chapter 37

Grandma held her only blood relative while still being on her feet.

Bertha was in complete loss at seeing Joe in such a state, since he knew how mighty of a man that he was. She finally understood that Joe bled like she did. She grabbed Joe's melon head and

forced him to look into her redden tear filled eyes.

Joe could see the love and compassion in her eyes. It pierced to his very soul, like a butcher 's knife through a slab of meat.

Bertha spoke,"You had saved me from a life of whoredom or even death. I will be your family from now on! I will follow your religion, bare your kids, clean your house, cook your meals, or whatever you want from me! If that will help fill the hole that is in your heart!

He kissed Bertha.

Joe spoke,"Are you three guys following me?"

Vince spoke,"Yes and no, my young cadet."

Grandma spoke,"What do mean by that? You better not be a stalker or I will pray the ten plagues on you! He and Bertha are the only blood relatives that I have left! I will not lose anymore of my family in my natural life! I just will not have it!"

Vince spoke,"We mean no harm to Joe or the rest of your family. We are just trying to get a feel to how Joe is as a person. We are getting information from the community to how he lived and what kind of person that he is."

Bertha spoke,"Why do you want Joe that bad?"

The three promoters all broke out into laughter as Bertha had told the best joke ever.

Joe spoke,"Are you mocking us?"

The Strength sports promoter spoke,"I am Arnold the strength sports promoter. Are you three that nonchalant about the powers that Joe possesses? You personally killed all the thugs singlehandedly without no weapons. Plus, you put the fear of God in the local police chief to the point where he pissed his pants."

The three promoters all knew that Joe was the golden goose that could make them all rich.

Vince spoke,"If you know it or not, there is already a legend around you Joe. Why are you so resistant to get a better life than you ever could working here. Most people would kill for the offer

that you had been offered by us."

Grandma spoke,"Gentlemen, he is not like most men, since he just wants to help others. That is the calling from God that he had carried, since he was a little boy."

The three men were all speechless about the utter resolve that Joe and his family had possessed.

Joe spoke,"What can you give me beyond what is simply materialistic in nature?"

Vince spoke,"We can give Grandma the surgeries and treatment that she has been desperately needed."

Joe spoke,"Are you trying to blackmailing into agreement?"

The wrestling promoter spoke,"No we are just trying to answer your question and nothing more.

Joe looked intently at his Grandmother.

Grandma spoke,"It is your choice baby."

Joe spoke,"Let me see the details of the contracts and I will sign."

Joe would get 2.5 million each from both the mma and wrestling promoters, while another half million from the strength sports promoter. That was from just training for a year and he would be given more money once he starting to completing. He asked to not work on Sunday and it was fine with the promoters.

Bertha's family was buried like royalty at the local cemetery and Joe would be given a proper education. He had many more french benefits that would given out later.

Mr Big was drafted before he could enter the pro wrestling Rindat roster. Billy was arrested for murder despite no evidence, and took a plea deal to accept the war draft. Bob and Pete were arrested for dealing drugs, but they took the same plea deal as Billy. All four men were drafted into a war they wanted nothing of.
