Chapter 72 First Step Towards Our Future

After the contract was signed, Asnee shook hands with the business owner and left the office with Mr. Chongchit.

Mr. Chongchit smiled and said, "Asnee, you should rest at our house, not in a hotel."

Asnee said, "Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it, but it's not right for me to be at your house right now."

Mr. Chongchit and Asnee got into the elevator, and Mr. Chongchit said, "Last time, you did make a good impression on my daughter. She said you two know each other well." He smiled. "I heard from your mother; you said the same thing to her about my daughter."

Asnee said, "I meant what I said. She's a very nice and well-educated person."

The two men walked out of the office building. Mr. Chongchit asked, "Are you sure you don't want to rest at my house?"

Asnee smiled and said, "Thank you for the kind offer, but I have already booked the hotel."

Asnee said goodbye to Mr. Chongchit and returned to his hotel. He lay down and thought of many ways to make money, but every way he thought about, he knew his parents would surely find out. For a long time, he couldn't think of any way.

Asnee sighed and threw his body on the bed, "What should I do to make quick money?" He thought of Decha, maybe he could borrow money from Decha. He shook his head. "Because you're a man; it's your responsibility to feed your man. What a shame to have your best friend pay for your man's food." He closed his eyes. "What should I do?"

Suddenly, Asnee felt a sharp tingling on the right side of his head, followed by ringing in his ears. After a long time, the buzzing sound in the right ear slowly disappeared, but the tingling headache remained. He wanted to get up to take some painkillers, but as soon as he got up, he suddenly felt dizzy. Asnee lay in bed with his eyes closed, waiting for the symptoms to go away. He's also noticed that he's had severe headaches lately when he thinks too much.

Asnee murmured, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep."

The next day, he left the hotel and was driving home when his phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw that it was Somsak.

Asnee said, "Ai Som, what's up?"

Somsak said, "Ai Nee, I heard that you are coming to Chonburi, why don't you come and see me. You haven't come to visit me since I came home. Ai Run came to see me not long ago."

Asnee said, "I'm heading back home now."

Somsak said, "It's only an hour drive away, come see me before you go home."

Asnee said, "Next time, I'll come to visit you. I'll take Chai and Run too." Because Asnee was talking to Somsak and he forgot to look at the road, he took the wrong turn which took him to a slightly remote road, along the coastline. "Shit."

Somsak asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're talking too much; I think I missed a turn. I'll call you back when I get back to the main road," Asnee said. Asnee hung up quickly.

Asnee was looking for a parking space to turn his car around, but the house he passed appeared to be occupied by cars parked in the driveway. He had driven a good ten minutes when his car approached a remote area away from other houses. He slowed down and pulled into the driveway. Standing in front of him was an old house. He saw a sale sign hanging on the broken gate.

Asnee got out of the car and walked to the gate. Looking at the little old house sitting with a beautiful view in the vast sea. He smiled and said to himself, "This is Ai Chai's dream house." He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on the sales sign. After a few rings, a woman answered the phone.

The homeowner, "Hello."

Asnee said, "Hello, I drove past a house, and it had a sign for sale. Is this property still for sale?"

The homeowner said, "Yes, yes it is still for sale."

Asnee asked, "How much do you want for this place?"

The homeowner said, "Six hundred thousand."

Asnee thought about it. Now, although he has worked for his father for two years, he does not have six hundred thousand baht in his secret bank account. If he had transferred that much money from his work account to pay for this house, his parents would have known. He was wondering how he could easily make money that couldn't be traced.

The homeowner asked, "Is six hundred thousand too much?"

Asnee said, "Yeah, that's a bit much for an older house."

The homeowner said, "How about five hundred thousand? But I will need the money in three days."

Asnee asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to sell the house?"

The homeowner said, "To be honest, you were the first person to contact me about his home. The last person to contact me was a year ago."

Asnee said, "I will consider it, and I will call you later when I decide."

The homeowner said, "Okay, kha..."

Asnee hung up and dialed Somsak. Somsak immediately picked up the phone and said, "You decided to come see me?"

Asnee said, "Mung...do you know a legal way to make fast money."

Somsak laughed, "Ai sàt, any quick and easy way to make money is illegal."

"I need some money," Asnee said.

Somsak said, "I'll ask Ai Run...he's into those easy money things."

Asnee hung up the phone knowing it would cost less than four million baht to turn the place into Santichai's dream home. When his phone rang, Asnee was backing up the car out of the driveway.

Asnee said, "Run."

Ruangsak said, "Mung, Ai Som told me you're looking for easy money?"

"Yes, untraceable easy money," Asnee said.

Ruangsak said, "I usually go to those underground cage fighting battles. As long as you fight, you are guaranteed to get at least ten thousand. There is a game this Saturday, if you win, the price is one million. If you lose, the price is ten thousand. Do you want me to book it for you?"

Asnee thought that if he won the battle, a million would be enough to buy the place. If he did three more fights, it will be enough to make Santichai's dream house a reality, and he and Santichai can finally move out. Asnee said, "Run, book me."

Ruangsak said, "Just so you know, you are fighting against The Grim Reaper."

"At this point, I don't care who I fight. I just know I have to win," Asnee said.

Ruangsak said, "Okay, can you go pick up Ai Som?"

Asnee said, "Alright, I'll pick him up."

The music of the late Saturday night was loud, but the crowd was louder than the music. Asnee couldn't help laughing when Asnee wrapped his hands. Thinking that a young and promising person like him who just signed a multi-million-baht contract with a big company would go to such a cheap place to get one million baht, but at the same time he is also very happy because this is the second time in his life, he is free to choose.

When Asnee finished wrapping his hands, his phone rang. He picked up the phone and said, "Chai, what's the matter?"

Santichai said, "Asnee, did you say you would be home after the contract is signed? It's been two days and you haven't come home yet."

Ruangsak and Somsak walk into the locker room. Ruangsak said loudly, "Ai Nee, everyone is waiting for you."

Hearing Ruangsak's voice and loud music in the background, Santichai already knew Asnee might be parting with his two friends. Santichai said, "Don't drink too much." He hung up the phone.

Ruangsak looked at Asnee and said, "Hey, don't make that kind of face when you are about to enter the cage. I bet a lot of money on you."

Somsak said, "Yes, me too."

Asnee sighed and said, "You two have to promise me that no matter what we do tonight, Chai will never know."

Somsak asked, "Why not?" He teased. "You're afraid your wife will know." He raised an eyebrow at Asnee and laughed.

Asnee swore, "Ai sàt..." He looked at his two friends. "If Chai knew, he would go tell my mom, I would be in trouble."

Ruangsak said, "I will keep my mouth shut."

Asnee said, "Okay, let's go and kick some buts."

Ruangsak smiled, "Yes, that's the spirit." He handed Asnee a ski mask. "You must wear this." He put the ski mask on Asnee's head. He held out his hand. "For us."

Somsak said, "For us."

Asnee grabs Ruangsak and Somsak's hands, "For us."

Somsak frowned, "It's a pity that Ai Chai is not here."

"Stupid, we just promised Ai Nee that we won't tell Ai Chai about it. Let's go," Ruangsak said.

Ruangsak and Somsak walked out of the locker room, Asnee looked down at his wrapped fists and said to himself: "Chai, I hurt you a lot when we were in college, now I'm going to use these two hands to build our future". He kissed his hands and walked out of the locker room towards the fighting cage.
