"This is your last pay" said a middle-aged man as he handed an envelope to a young man in front of him.

The middle aged man was the boss of a convenience store and the young man was his employee. Personally, he doesn't want to let go of such an outstanding worker, unfortunately, he had no choice since his wife demanded that he employ her relative instead.

Across him, the young man simply took the envelope and said his goodbye without showing a difficult expression. This made the owner more guilty than if the young man complained about the unfair treatment.

The young man, Lay, however didn't really mind. No matter how much he works hard he can never be as valuable as employees with a college diploma in the eyes of employers. Though he admits that it was a ridiculous requirement for a store cashier the owner's wife clearly didn't think so and chose him between his colleagues.

Arms to his side, Lay, enjoys the night breeze as he walks home.

Passing by an alley, Lay heard voices that suggest that people were arguing. Tracing his steps, he stick his head out of the wall and discovers two thugs cornering a teenage boy.

Soundlessly arriving behind the thugs, Lay got a clear picture of what was happening based on the contents of their conversation. This is a robbery and the thugs set their eyes on the black box the teenager is carrying.

Instantly, Lay lost interest, this kind of thing is a common occurrence for him who lives in the slums. However, robbery being common is one thing, letting it happen in front of him without doing anything is another matter.

At this moment, the thug on Lay's left lost his patience and took out a pocket knife. Seeing this the thug on the right had a derisive smile on his face as he looked at the boy.

They wasted enough time encouraging him to hand over the black box to them for "safekeeping" so now it's time to use another method.

Sure enough, once the pocket knife is out the boy becomes stiff and doesn't dare make another noise. The thugs enjoyed his expression a lot as it satisfied their vanity. At this moment they controlled the boy's fate, whether he lives or dies depends on them.

They were so engrossed in their thoughts that they didn't notice a shift in their victim's expression from fear to astonishment.

Suddenly, a big hand fell on each of the thug's heads. Without waiting for them to react the hand made them face each other before slamming them together.

Pa!

The strength of the collision instantly took the two thugs out and they lay on the floor unconscious. Behind them, Lay wiped his hands together before returning to the road.
