The World We Do Not Know 57 Why Can't People Just Be Nice?

As Thorik turns around to face Shamian, she closes her palm withdrawing her hand back and plants her receiver back in her ear.

She lets out a faint smirk -"The information comes with a price you have to pay." She says - "If not we can just walk our own paths." She raises one of her eyebrows and gives out a faint smile as of saying  'you know what I want'.

"Eh- let it be, I will find the info on my own in this realm." Thorik writes her off. He knows the tricks and traps this woman uses to get what she wants.

"Ugh! Why are you so hard? Are you only into teen girls? Tsk! Fine, I will give this to you for free." 

"They have the possible suspect name" Shamian pauses to catch a breath and continues "Of the doctor that flee the mainland with the humanoid kid."

Thorik appears to be beady-eyed, he seems to be attentive more than before. The arrogance and c.o.c.ky manner he had shown earlier is nowhere to be seen "And? What is his name?" He muttered under his breath unknown of what was awaiting ahead of his utterance.

"Huh? You said something? I could not hear you." Shamian questions with a puzzled expression while she lowers her head a little and becoming all ears, as to hear carefully of what Thorik said.

"His name! Did they say his name?" Thorik impatiently shouts.

"Oh well." Shamian rolls her eyes. She thinks to herself what is wrong with this human? He gets so interested in this topic that he literally s.p.a.ces into his own world.

Taking a deep breath, she says. "The name is Gus Hughes!" The name of that doctor." Shamian replies exhaustingly.

*Sigh~~*

"Gus Hughes huh" Thorik lifts his head and looks up above thoughtfully. Only cosmic dust can be seen high in the sky. There are no clouds, it is plain dark night sky. All the stars are clearly visible to human eye and comets have filled up the sky travelling like a flock of birds.

He lets out another sigh. Shamian is confused with his expressions, she does not know whether he is relieved or more worried.

*Back in the House of Asura's*

"Just by knowing that some doctor ran away with a newborn baby, can we a.s.sume that the baby is a humanoid and he is the person? If so, are we hunting him now?" A captain asks Theodore in the meeting room.

"He is a doctor for a reason. Who knows if he wanted to raise the kid or dissect him to gain the power. Keep your eyes open on every other houses and the islands they own and the people that come to their houses to enroll in the military. And when you find a person with last name Hughes. Bring them back here." Theodore orders all of his captains and generals.

"And soldiers, prepare our house to buckle up for the enroll tests. In five months, kids from Mindoro will be here to take the test." He also pa.s.ses an order to his soldiers for the test that is about to happen. Where Nick, Tim, Roy and Faust are selected for by Yang to showcase their talent to be taken into the House Of Asura's.

*Back in Medellin in the dark streets*

"Haha yes! Get him! Beat him up!"

"Don't waste this opportunity guys, let all your anger vent out."

"You blind piece of s.h.i.+t! How dare you not visit us the past week, you know we need to let out our frustration every week don't you? Why! Why the f.u.c.k!"

A blind kid is on the ground in the middle of a very narrow and dark street. And teens of 16 yr old are stomping on his head. His hair is dirtied by their shoes and clothes are not able to hold the hard blows. 

His eyebrow is cut and swollen, a guy is stomping on his face hard, the kid can feel the hardness of the guy's shoe heel on his left cheek. It is crus.h.i.+ng his skull deep into the dirt. It is getting harder to even breathe. Storm like punches and stomps are raining over him.

*Heavy breaths~* 

"You better be here on time next week. Or we are going to expose your little truth that you are not autistic to the people of this city and we will rape your mom and little sis you got it? You blind f.u.c.k!" 

"Haha well said Akhito! you better remember that blind kid! You are going to spread your blindness to us and make us foolish blind people too if we let you loose on the streets." A teen with curly hair shouts in the face of Markos who is barely breathing on the ground.

The 7 teens walk away after peeing on Mark and kicking his gut once and twice as a parting gift. They're not satisfied with this but wanted to save their punching bag for next week.

Mark searches for his bags of food and snacks for his mom and sis. He realises it is spilled all over the place. Stream of warm tears crawl down his cheeks  instantly, breaking his strong emotional fencing.

The punches, insults and kicks did not break him internally but the thought of having no food to feed his mom and sister tore his heart and the sadness he held in his throat.

The money he earned by acting like an Autistic, killing his pride and doing what people made him do has gone to waste. He left the rice but tried to pick up the snacks. He gently wiped off the dirt and started putting them in his bag. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

His whole body is hot and his legs are quivering and jittering like the legs of a newborn, making him unable to stand.

He tries to stand up twice and fails to do so. His frustration and tears increase with the fail of his 3 more attempts. 

He finally gives up and sits in the dust to catch a breath.

Footsteps are heard coming from behind him but Mark is lost in his own thoughts to notice any sound.

Suddenly two hands grabbed him from behind and started applying a medicinal gel gently to his bruises.

Being startled from the touch Markos shouts out loudly "Wh-Who is it?" From his lungs.

"It's me Markos! Don't be scared, I will carry you home." A warm and soothing voice of an old man is heard.

It was the old blind man from the retirement house that Mark sits with all the time.

"G-grandpa! Why can't people just be nice? I just wish I could die and be released from this pain." Markos asks with pain filled voice.

The words from the kid breaks the heart of the old man. It is beyond his imagination that a kid has spoken these words. G.o.d knows what he is going through in his life to have said it.

--Four Months Until The Test--

On a pleasant sunny day, a street is filled with laughs and shouts of kids playing. They are pus.h.i.+ng and throwing paper b.a.l.l.s at each other. A house nearby is filled with grief and darkness to it's already rusted door and dead wooden walls.

"Heh! I will give you 200 kani's and no more than that." A guy speaks to a women dressed in inappropriate clothes.

"Reginald! Please, I just gave birth two weeks ago and it still hurts. I do not even have milk to feed my baby. Please do not decrease the normal price of 300 kanis you used to give normally." A woman begs Reginald, the guy who was in charge of the food supply s.h.i.+ps that go out of the mainland.

"You b.i.t.c.h! How many times do I have to tell you? Look at the scar on your tummy, it creeps me out so I'm not going to pay you regular price. Now I'm going to f.u.c.k you and pay you 150. If you want to live in this city, you better not talk back to me." Saying this he shoved the lady back into the house.

He ignored the cries of the lady saying "Not in front of the baby." The lady kept begging with tears filled eyes. He heartlessly pushes her back into the pile of clothes formed like a small mountain after laundry. He tears her undies, bra and forces the lady to submission.

--Two Months Until The Test--

"Ah! We are going out in the summer again to catch and stock the food to save it for winter huh. Outside the mainland, it is always cold. It does not even look summer." A fisherman in his 30's talks to his fellow workers.

"Ah the cold increased since the last time I came here. This old man cannot bear the cold anymore." The old man covers his s.h.i.+vering body with a warm coat hoping to finish his job and sail back home soon.

--The Day Of Test--

"Faust! Hmm you are disqualified. Please try again after two years!"
