by Luke 18:01,Jan 09,2024
Dunstan glanced at Rick, who was weighing his customer's fruits. If he could get a stable job, it would undoubtedly make his parents happy. It was much better than idling.
Although Dunstan was not strapped for cash, his parents might think he had robbed a bank abroad and fled back to the Red Dragon if he suddenly took out tons of money.
Moreover, it was difficult for him to explain how he got his money. As such, Dunstan readily agreed after some thought.
It was just a security guard. He would treat the job as a way to experience life.
Rick was elated after learning his son had a job.
He hurriedly asked, "Bianca, are you sure you can arrange for Dunstan to work in your company?"
Bianca smiled and replied, "Of course, it's no problem. I'll take care of it."
"Okay, that's great news!" Happiness was written all over Rick's face as he continued, "A state-owned enterprise is great. Dunstan, you lack a diploma and the relevant skills to join a company. I'm sure two thousand a month of salary is good enough for people like us."
"As long as Dunstan makes up his mind to work diligently and saves up his salary for a few years, I'm sure he will soon be ready for marriage."
Dunstan felt helpless. His father was still hoping he would get married.
The purpose of Bianca's visit was to offer Dunstan a job. Now that she had achieved her objective, it was time to leave.
Dunstan sent her home.
Along the way, Bianca told Dunstan many things that happened when he was gone. Dunstan would respond from time to time, minimizing the awkwardness.
"Dunstan, ​​do you still remember Miasma Lopez?" Bianca asked suddenly.
Dunstan felt a little stunned at the mention of Miasma's name. It was as if he had returned to his high school days.
At that time, the Lopez family was putting a lot of pressure on him, and one day, he finally cracked under pressure. He was then forced to run away from home.
When he thought back about it, he really did seem fearless.
Regardless, Dunstan no longer thought of the Lopez family as a threat, let alone Miasma.
Moreover, Dunstan never hated Miasma. If it wasn't for Miasma, Dunstan wouldn't be able to achieve what he now had.
It could even be said that he owed his achievements to Miasma, and should even be thanking him for it.
Dunstan returned to his senses and asked, "Oh, yes. I remember him. Why?"
Bianca observed Dunstan closely, trying to see through his thoughts, but found his expression did not waver at all.
She felt puzzled. After all, it was Miasma's fault that Dunstan went abroad alone at such a young age and couldn't return home. Could it be that he had never hated Miasma?
"I'm sure you're out of the loop, right? Not long after you left, Miasma was imprisoned," Bianca said.
Wasn't Miasma the one who was stabbed? Why did he end up in jail instead?
Dunstan looked puzzled.
However, he soon experienced a mix of emotions when he heard Bianca elaborating the entire story.
He would never have guessed that Amara Kim's parents sent Miasma Lopez in.
Furthermore, if Amara's parents sentenced Miasma to ten years in prison, no matter how rich the Lopez family was, Miasma wouldn't be able to escape his sentence.
"Dunstan, ​​don't you hate Miasma? After all, he was the one who drove you out of the country," Bianca said as she looked into Dunstan's eyes.
"I don't hate him. Hasn't he already suffered his retribution? Besides, he had already paid such a heavy price. Why should I still hate him?" Dunstan Flores said with a shrug.
"Also, when I was away, he had wasted so much of his youth being locked up in prison. This is also a punishment for him."
Bianca found it harder and harder to understand Dunstan.
"Why did you mention him out of the blue?" Dunstan Flores suddenly asked.
"An old classmate told me he was released a few days ago."
Dunstan raised his eyebrows and recalled the conversation he had with Rick the previous night. Rick had mentioned that his fruit stall was doing well until a few months ago when gangsters suddenly arrived to cause trouble.
Besides, Dunstan found it hard to believe that an honest man like Rick would offend anyone.
Moreover, those gangsters only targeted Rick and not the others. No one would believe that the events were unintentional.
"Do you know specifically when he was released?" Dunstan asked.
"I heard that it was a month ago. Miasma's father fetched him when he was released and had a big celebration. It was quite a sensation. "
The timings matched up.
There was a sudden glimmer of coldness in Dunstan's eyes.
Bianca was also shocked by the sudden change in Dunstan's expression. She had never seen him display such a look.
Didn't he claim that he didn't hate Miasma? Why did he react so strongly when he found out that Miasma was released?
"I think I know who is behind all this," Dunstan said coldly.
"What?" There was a delay in Bianca's response.
Now that Dunstan mentioned it, she also sensed something suspicious occurring behind the scenes.
Why were people causing problems for Dunstan's father only after Miasma was released?
Apart from Miasma, she couldn't think of anyone who would hold a grudge against Dunstan.
When he couldn't find Dunstan, he attacked his family. Miasma was really underhanded.
Moreover, the Kim family was the one who sentenced him to jail. Knowing that he was no match for the Kim family, Miasma targeted the Flores family instead.
Originally, Dunstan didn't delve too much into the news about Miasma.
He even thought that the Lopez family wouldn't be able to threaten him after he left.
Never did he expect Miasma to vent his anger on his parents. Fortunately, Miasma was caught and imprisoned for ten years. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Who knew how evil Miasma could be?
Noticing the change in Dunstan's tone, Bianca was afraid that Dunstan would act impulsively and do something stupid again.
When she recalled the events that occurred at the fruit store the previous afternoon, she couldn't help but shudder at the cruelty Dunstan displayed.
Bianca didn't know what Dunstan had gone through in the years he was away, but she didn't want to lose him again.
She advised, "Dunstan, don't act rashly. I know you hate Miasma, but his backers are too powerful. You can't fight them alone. If things go south, we can just forgo Uncle Rick's stall."
"Now that you have a job and a stable income, your family's life will only get better. I don't want to see you leaving the country again."
Dunstan restrained his anger when he noticed Bianca's anxiety. He looked at her tenderly and said, "I know you are worried about me, but there is nothing to worry about. I know my limits, and I will not do anything overboard."
However, one must be cruel to stop the other party from becoming complacent.
Dunstan had already thought of a countermeasure.
Miasma Lopez.
Dunstan had to act.
