11.1 His chance

When A-Xuan opened his eyes, a man was howling at him.

"The only reason I kept you here is that my father asked me, and this is how you repay me?"

A-Xuan closed his eyes for a second, then opened them again. So this is Bastian, the 21-year-old marketing genius. A-Xuan sneered:

"You kept me?"

Bastian's eyes narrowed dangerously.

"What did you say?"

"You said you kept me as if I'm a dog. You didn't keep shit, okay, the maids did."

Bastian said:

"For the first time, my father was wrong about something, you. If destroying the only thing I had left of my mother wasn't enough, you dare talk back to an adult."

Bastian lifted his hand to slap him, but A-Xuan grabbed his wrist before he could. He smiled and said:

"Thank you for making this so easy. I'll be out of your life in 15 minutes since this is clearly what you want."
