27 Chapter 17

All this has happened all because almost the entire servant quarters had discovered how he had offended the bigwig and dared to touch the jade bracelet of that level with his own bare hands. This caused him to reappear in the long limelight again with almost everyone ridiculing him for his disrespect and even jealousy that he was able to see the bigwig and he noticed by her, albeit negatively. Before he was even reached the dormitory, he decided to bury 100 cabbat behind some bushes under the ground for emergency funds. In the afternoon, he was ambushed by the fatty first and was extorted 50 cabbat for lying to him. After that was done, he reached the dormitory and another 50 and was extorted, of course that was after suffering a huge beating under their anger. He woke up with a bruised face next week and decided to buy some asset with the remaining 100 cabbat. He wanted to exit the manor but was stopped by Wu Xue who recommended buying one of his sheep for a cheap price of 60 cabbat. Knowing that this was another extortion, he wanted to resist and negotiate but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the ridiculous inflation. As he was about to walk away, his fellow coworkers at the pen somehow cooperated with Wu Xue to advise him on how he won't be able to raise the sheep alone since the grass and water is owned by the city lord and wasn't his own.

Listening to this, he knew where this was going and even the remaining 40 cabbat wasn't let go since he somehow had to pay them for the rent of the pen where the sheep will be staying. He was only able to gain the so called rent for two months. He walked back to the pen to get his sheep while being accompanied by Wu Xue and his bootlickers. When he reached the place, he saw them looking at an old sickly sheep that was almost dying and almost chose it for him. He quickly made up his mind and put on a frustrated expression.

"Seniors, it seemed this humble one can't even handle the rent and care that my sheep will receive that I have no choice but to disappoint you and say after two months, if I don't earn more money. I will have to choice but to feast on it."

Hearing feast, the eyes of everyone around lit up and they were already imagining how delicious it will be since they never dared to touch the sheep belonging to the mansion without permission however since this poor fellow decided to buy the sheep, they finally taste the famous mutton of a wild bassalt sheep. They decided to take this opportunity and eat the sheep after two months. Before they extorted more, they looked at the ill and old sheep in the corner and changed their minds about their choice. They didn't know what would happen if they ate and decided not to choose it. They generously said that they will give him the free choice of choosing his sheep and of course, Jerry chose the slightly young but overall unnoticeable sheep that still looked healthy. They flattered him on his impeccable eyesight and how he was a good junior with good potential but secretly disdained him in their hearts for picking such a weak looking sheep among other fat and better looking ones. Everything was finally with them following him again towards the trade office of the mansion and completing the handout rights with Wu Xue being the witness and price adjuster. After all that was done, a kind of anger started to brew in his heart, almost overwhelming his every nerve and even anger towards his weakness and willingness to be pushed around. He thought he would live a nice little life and probably wait the next reincarnation to find against such nonsense like weakness and heavens but he seemed to have made up his mind and plan for cultivation next.

Time went by and he was forgotten by everyone once again after just a month. At this time, he had sheared his little sheep twice and gained a few catties of sheep fur. He decided one day to go to the trading pavilion where he buys the medicines used by the city lord's mansion. He didn't want anyone to know what he had done therefore he did everything sneakily and even put on a cloak covering his head. After selling the poor quality sheep fur, he was only able to earn 120 cabbat compared to the usual 160 cabbat but he bit the bullet and continued on back to the mansion. He went and picked up the 100 cabbat he hid a long time ago and came to buy the wood breaking manual. After returning to the pavilion, he was able to buy the manual and his face was filled with glee that he didn't notice his roommate entering th the pavilion and seeing the manual in hands. The roommate suddenly had a gloomy face and hatred flashed across his eyes after he realized it was Jerry. He knew how Jerry tricked the fatty into searching all their belongings for the so called jade and even humiliated him. After seeing the manual costing 200 cabbat, his anger was reignited but he held it in since this was the famous Red Sand pavilion and he couldn't be reckless in here. He only snotted coldly and walked away, remembering to teach him a lesson tonight.

Jerry returned home that night and tried to read the manual while practicing the content within, he knew his time had come to become the hero and dominate the universe.

However that night something happened that totally changed everything. As he was practicing according to the manual and almost feeling the heat in his abdomen and muscles, a heavy slap landed on the back of his back. He flew a few meters until he fell to the ground and almost passed out. He gritted his teeth and looked at the scumbags who had such a heavy hand. When he turned to look back, he saw thug number 3 and 2 standing under the moonlight with condenscending faces.

"I remember that when we taught you a lesson a month ago, you said the rest of your money and taken away by the fatty. If so, where did you get the money for the manual you're using to practice? You dare lie to this senior, it seemed we haven't hit you enough. It seems you may be hiding some more secrets on you. Maybe even more money. Hand it over and you won't suffer."

"I don't have anymore, it's really the truth. You can search everywhere I stay."

"You dare lie to me again, it seems you want more beatings."

"I said I DON'T HAVE IT YOU COCKSUCKER"

Knowing what he had just said out of anger, Jerry felt relieved and at the same time, saddened by his upcoming fate.

These fell like a heavy stone and thug number 3 was speechless for a second. It seems he couldn't register that Jerry dared to say these words to him. Suddenly he felt humiliated and out of anger, he punched out with his full might, ready to kill Jerry in one blow.
