The First Encounter

The size of the supermarket is small, but there is plenty of stuff. The owner is a very nice middle-aged man. 

Walking through the ice cream area, Airon picked up a chocolate popsicle and started eating it. He really didn't have much money but that's not a problem he couldn't handle. 

As he was thinking what to do, an old lady stopped with her cart and said, "Hey, you can't eat the ice cream without paying for it, I'll let a worker know." 

"Don't bother me, I'm the owner's son." 

Airon paid no attention to the grumpy grandmother, the best way to think was to eat something and now he had no room to argue over a popsicle. 

Just as the old lady was making her way to the counter, a heated argument began to sound louder and louder from the checkout counter. As Airon approached, the store owner was arguing with a man. 

Airon stood to the side and listened intently to the argument. It was probably that the man bought frozen meat and a bottle of vinegar to cook at home, but one of the employees gave him a different apple vinegar than he had asked for. 

The man just wanted his money back, but the store owner politely asked him to buy another bottle of vinegar, because this was not his problem and besides the vinegar had already been opened and used, but it seems that this was not clear and the argument escalated. 

Standing next to them were two police officers, Rick and Shane. Rick was trying to defuse the situation, while Shane covered his head not understanding why the discussion was so heated.

"You already opened the vinegar bottle. Even if we made a mistake, don't you know to look at what you buy? Besides, it looks like you didn't dislike the vinegar because you finished half the bottle." Seeing this, the gentleman who was complaining did not like it and threw the bottle in his face, the store owner was not going to allow this and also responded with direct blows to his face. 

Airon watched all of this with surprise, he didn't know whether to be surprised to see Rick and Shane or because an elderly man was beating the crap out of a man. 

Airon looked around and suddenly a man in a black sweatshirt in the corner of the store caught his eye. 

Airon wasn't stupid, this person obviously wanted a drink while the store in general was a mess.　　 

The corner of Airon Darcy's mouth turned up, he had been worried that he wouldn't have a chance to start a conversation with Rick, but now, along came a helpful ticket.　　 

The young man in the black hoodie pretended to be wandering, and walked slowly toward the door of the store, looking as interested in the dispute at the cashier as everyone else. 

After stuffing a few more things into his pockets, the young man who thought he had committed the robbery of the year felt that everything was ready, turned around and wanted to leave, but he did not expect that when he was about to come out his arm was suddenly grabbed, and a voice sounded next to him in an excited tone.　

"Hey buddy, you just want to leave without paying, don't you know that stealing stuff is illegal and you could pay a fine or directly go to jail?" 

Although the guy in the black hoodie looked like he was very calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous. After all, there were two damn cops standing not far from the door. At that moment, a madman grabbed him by the arm. At first he wanted to break free, but the grip was too strong and he couldn't break free.

Airon subconsciously turned his head and looked at Rick and Shane, and found that the other party's attention had not yet been diverted in his direction. He was a little frustrated, but he did not let go of this young man who was breaking the law.

Seeing that he was not let go, the boy in the black hoodie pulled out a small knife in his right hand and attacked Airon Darcy's wrist. 

"You meddling fucking idiot." 

"Ah!" 

In the next second, Airon who saw the knife aimed at his wrist, violently pulled on the body of the young man in the black hoodie, and the not so skinny young man was sent flying through the air and fell in front of Rick. 

"Am I that strong?" thought Airon with a mischievous grin. 

At this time, Rick also noticed the movements next to him, cocked his head and looked at a young man in a black hoodie who suddenly crashed next to him with a knife in his hand.

Shane unconsciously drew his weapon and yelled, "Don't move, drop the knife." 

The young man in the black hoodie was stunned by the fall, just as he was about to stand up and smash that meddling idiot's face in, he realized that someone was pointing a gun at him, feeling helpless about the situation. 

"Damn!" 

After seeing the situation, he dropped the knife and deftly put his hands behind his head. But his eyes were fixed on Airon Darcy, and he spat a few words silently. 

You are dead! 

Airon understood, but only smiled and secretly raised the middle finger of his right hand and pointed at the young man in the black sweatshirt. 

At that moment, Rick, the old man and the man in dispute noticed everything that was happening behind their backs, Rick on his side kicked the dagger together with the young man in the black sweatshirt against the wall.

The man who was still claiming that the vinegar wasn't used also stopped talking, he muttered under his breath and didn't keep making noise, he turned around and walked out of the store. 

"What happened?" 

"How come this guy is lying in front of me with a knife all of a sudden?" 

Before the two had time to communicate, they heard a young man no more than twenty years old speak next to them. 

"Officers, I can explain. Just now I saw this person taking advantage of the chaos to steal things from the store. While you guys were settling the dispute and didn't pay attention to the surroundings. When I saw that he was about to flee, my good citizen personality came out of me and I stopped him." 

"I did not expect this fellow to want to attack me with a knife, and I had no choice but to proceed to use force, I did not think he would fall right in front of you." 

The young man who had become a hero was Airon Darcy, and he held out his hands as he spoke, with an innocent look on his face. With nothing against him, he pointed out that he had no choice but to use force. 

Rick watched Airon with chocolate on his lips stay silent, he turned his head and found many store products in his pockets. 

"Shane." 

"Got it." 

They both had things straight and a pair of handcuffs had already restrained the wrists of the young man in the black sweatshirt. 

After getting all the stolen goods out of him, Shane pressed the young man in the black sweatshirt and nodded towards Airon Darcy, reached out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Well done buddy." 

Rick turned to the supermarket owner and said, "Thomas, the other party seems to have left, so this matter is resolved. We still have to take the thief back to the police station, so we'll leave first." 

Before Thomas could speak, he turned around and said to Airon, "Sir, thank you for your brave actions." 

"Haha, I'm only 20 years old and I had to do it for the good of society..." Airon waved his hands with a smile. 

Rick smiled, nodded and said, "I don't know if you have the time. As grateful as we all are, I still need to make an official statement. If you're busy, you can talk another day." 

"That's okay, I have nothing to do today, I'll cooperate with whatever is necessary." 

"Okay, please follow me." 

Rick turned and walked in the direction of the police car. 

Airon followed Rick with a smile on his face. As a connoisseur of the main plot, he was a little excited to meet these two people so quickly. 

... 

"Thank you again for your cooperation, young Airon, shouldn't we take you to your parents?" Rick looked at the worker ID and handed it to Airon Darcy. 

As for how he had this identity, it turns out he was a student before he was expelled for fighting. With almost 20 years old and many years of schooling lost due to his previous behavior, he didn't have a good future in school and had to work to earn some extra money.

"That's very kind of you, Officer Grimes, and that's what I should have done, I can go home alone." 

"Just call me Rick, it's not very common to be called by my last name." 

"Okay Rick, then I won't bother you, bye." 

"Take care young man and don't forget to let the police know if you encounter another situation like this, it's not good to take chances like you did a moment ago." 

After Rick finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the police car, and Shane in the driver's seat waved to Airon Darcy. 

Looking at the back of the man in front of him, Airon was grateful to have had a conversation with these great people, it would be helpful in the future. 

"We'll see you again, Rick." 

... 

Now that time is money, it was time to prepare for the end of the world. When Airon turned around, there was a cell phone of the young man in the black sweatshirt in his hands. 

Airon thought that person was a gangster, but he wasn't; he found out from Rick's words and it turns out that he is a member of a local gang. 

After roughly verifying the information on the phone, Airon found some useful clues from the snippets.

"Anyway, they are bad people, I should support the future and do something about them..." Airon said as he wiped off the chocolate from the popsicle he had eaten. 

Old Airon was called crazy, no matter how he behaved, everyone knew to stay away from him if they didn't want to get beaten up. 

Long before he knew where he was, Airon would have angry outbursts and would inevitably hit people who caused him trouble, this was no surprise due to his history with the schools. However, everything was different now, he knew where he was and what was to come in this world.
