First Day Frenzy [Part - ||]

The brawny boy who stopped Jin to personally examine Ash took one step forward but didn't come any closer. Instead, he placed his hand inside his pocket acting haughty.

"I'm not sure you know what you're getting into here," The boy said. "If you have just not taken admission here nothing this sort of thing would happen. You got that?"

Asher glared at him, "Yeah, I got it. But what's your problem? What the hell do you care if I take admission or not?"

"Even though this university is only for royalties," The boy replied with a sneer. "Do you think I care about if you have money or not? Nah, man. We're taking you down because you're not from around here. You're not one of us, and you don't belong here."

Asher remained silent. And the boy continued. "How about I give you a tempting offer? I heard you took down these guys yesterday!" The boy said glancing at the people behind him.

"You are quite an interesting guy to be honest, what do you think about becoming my loyal dog, I'll give you hundred dollars from tomorrow morning."

The boy pulled out a wallet and showed Asher the contents. There were five hundred dollar bills inside of it.

Ash was speechless. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he didn't even know how to react.

Although Asher wasn't too smart when it came to money, he had a good head on his shoulders and knew exactly how much money he needed in order to pay off the debt.

In fact, he was not sure how could he collect such an amount of money by himself considering that the only things he owned were some clothes, some books, a few tools, and a battered guitar.

Even though he got admission to the university, it would take him several months to start earning if he got an internship, and would probably take years to get enough money to pay off the debt.

But he knew that considering his background it would be hard to get any work.

"Well, what do you say?" The boy asked again. "I heard the place you guys live is in debt, I can help you if you want. Just become my slave!"

The other students laughed as they saw Asher's reaction. They did not expect such development.

"It's simple, really. If you agree to become my slave, all this nonsense will stop."

The boy continued with a smug expression on his face. "You can also get enough money from me so that you can pay back the debt."

Jin could not help but look at this muscular boy with animosity, "What the f*ck are you thinking Ronald?" He said in a loud voice. "He messed with us but instead of beating the sh*t out of him, you offer him a deal? That's how stupid you are!"

The boy, whose name appeared to be Ronald, looked over his shoulder at Jin and said in a calm voice but his statements expressed a different perspective, "Jin Horton I'm not one of your dogs. If you think you can speak to me in that manner you are truly mistaken. Don't forget what my family is capable of!"

Jin felt like punching the muscle-bounded fool in his face for insulting him, but he knew he could not mess with this guy.

He was the son of Roberto Guzman, one of the most powerful men in the world, and Jin had seen firsthand what these people were capable of.

Although they were closely related to the government, there were even rumors that the Guzman family controlled many secret underworld organizations and had been involved in various conspiracies.

It was because his actions would lead to serious repercussions, so Jin decided to keep quiet instead.

Asher however thought the entire conversation was very interesting. He did not reply the entire time and just stood silently. But the muscular boy continued anyway.

"Don't you want to be free from this mess? Well, what are you waiting for?"

Ash could not help but scrutinize Rob. He had a muscular physique. His black hair was short, and he looked much older than his age. His eyes were also very unusual—they were dark blue, but they gave him an evil expression.

From the very beginning, Ash felt something different about this muscular young man. It was not because of his looks or his attitude towards Asher. Something seemed unnatural about the way this boy talked and behaved.

"I refuse" Ash only replied emotionlessly and began walking away slowly surprising everyone.

Nobody expected him to refuse in such a manner. Even though most of them hated him, everybody expected him to do whatever they wanted.

They all thought it would be fun to teach him a lesson in this way if he accepted. But he surprised everybody when he simply walked away.

"I wanted to give you an 'honorable' job, yet you dare refuse me?" The arrogance was palpable in the voice, but Ash did not stop.

Ronald continued in a sinister voice.

"Well, then I have to send some nice gifts to your worthless orphanage. I heard the manager there is a beautiful woman. I'm sure she will surely enjoy them, and after all not every beggar gets the chance to have a royal dic...."

But what followed sent shivers down the spines of everyone present, invoking sheer horror.

The silence gripped the surroundings as a bone-chilling darkness seemed to consume the atmosphere, and a series of spine-tingling occurrences played out before their horrified eyes, leaving them haunted by the indescribable terror that had gripped the very core of their beings that paralyzed their every move.

Before Ronald could complete his message and before anyone could react, Ash had caught him by the neck with his powerful talons and smashed his head into the solid ground while at the same time punching the helpless form with both feet.

In the pitch-black alleys, Ash's eyes appeared to emanate an eerie, ghastly glow. His previous cheerfulness was nowhere to be seen. He seemed like a completely different person right now.

The boy's body twitched for an instant, but did not move again and seemed to have lost consciousness, or so Ash thought.
