Chapter 765: Chapter 765 Ingratitude_1
“I’m sorry…”
The elderly man stood up tremblingly and picked up his walking stick next to him, slowly leaving.
“Grandpa Carmichael!”
Harvey Martin, who was sitting beside Julius Reed, froze the moment she saw the old man’s face.
“Get lost!
You decrepit, worthless old cripple!”
The people pushed the old man aside and quickly took their seats at the table.
“Grandpa Carmichael, come sit here.”
Harvey Martin looked at the long knife in their hands and didn’t stir up any trouble.
Although she was very angry, she didn’t want to implicate Julius Reed.
After all, this group of people clearly wasn’t one to be trifled with.
And if something really happened, it would be easy to implicate Grandpa Carmichael as well.
“Harvey Martin?
What are you doing here?”
The old man shuffled over and slowly took a seat next to Harvey Martin.
“I’m here to get medicine for grandma.”
Harvey Martin introduced to Julius Reed and the others, “This is Grandpa Carmichael, a friend I met in the capital.
When he was young, he was a firefighter.
Once, in an effort to rescue a little girl playing with fire at home, his leg was blown off by a gas cylinder at the door…”
As she spoke, Harvey Martin’s face was filled with sorrow.
“Forget it, it’s not worth mentioning.”
The old man smiled, but his eyes still carried the rebelliousness of his youth.
But with an added trace of age…
“Respectable.”
Julius Reed nodded.
Those who were willing to sacrifice themselves for others were truly great.
Even by his tens of thousands of years of perspective, the old man still deserved respect.
The unsung hero.
One lives a life, just seeking a clear conscience.
“Old sir, are you also here for medicine?”
Julius Reed observed the old man in front of him, who seemed to have come here alone.
He hadn’t brought any attendants with him.
Moreover, his attire was simple and his face somewhat pale.
It appeared that he was ill.
“Yes…
My leg has been crippled for decades; it’s all been cared for by my wife.” When Old Mr.
Carmichael spoke to this point, his eyes became moist.
“But now, my wife is failing, and the doctors say she has no more than three months.”
“What’s wrong with grandma?”
Harvey Martin’s heart leaped to her throat.
She knew the old man sitting in front of her and understood his family background very well.
Santiago Carmichael had been a firefighter in his early years and lost both legs in an accident.
Afterwards, he made a living by collecting scrap.
He even donated the little money he saved to students who couldn’t afford their schooling.
Picking up garbage, he funded over a dozen students, but not a single one came back to visit him.
The cold realities of life were just like this.
When Harvey Martin learned of this situation, she arranged for all the garbage from her family’s Pirate Ship Entertainment City to be given to Santiago Carmichael,
which was also a way to help his family.
Old Mr.
Carmichael was very stubborn and never accepted money.
Now that the old lady was sick, it undoubtedly tugged at Harvey Martin’s heartstrings.
“Cancer…”
Santiago Carmichael sighed, his eyes still moist.
“I shouldn’t be so afraid of life and death but if the sickness were on me, that would be fine.”
“The old woman has been with me all her life, enduring scorn without ever leaving me.
I can’t just watch her suffer…”
Toward the end, the strong old man could not hold back his tears.
“Medicine King Valley is charging a toll at the river crossing, and with the river being over five hundred meters wide, with your legs…”
Julius Reed was somewhat surprised.
“The old fellow kneeled at the crossing for a whole day and night.
In the end, a group of people crowdfunded to get him a broken swim ring.”
Just then, a man walked up beside their table.
The man held a bottle of beer and was dressed in a designer suit.
He looked very wealthy.
But his speech was a bit pretentious.
“We already crossed over this morning.
This old fellow took until noon to swim across.
I was really worried he’d die in the river and feed the fish.”
The man snorted coldly and took a sip of his beer.
He belched.
Julius Reed glanced at the old Mr.
Carmichael, finally understanding why the old man’s lips were so pale and why his other good leg was also not very responsive.
It turned out to be frozen in the water.
“Watch your words!”
Upon hearing this, Harvey Martin stood up and looked at the man: “Haven’t you learned your manners?
The old man is over seventy, and you keep calling him ‘old man’?
Do you address your father and your grandfather as ‘old immortal’ too?”
“You…”
The man’s face darkened, and he said unhappily: “Who are you!”
“I’m your mother!”
Harvey Martin was extremely irritated!
Knowing that the old lady was critically ill had already distressed her.
Now this man holding a bottle of alcohol was mocking, and she just lost it!
She wouldn’t allow anyone to insult her hero in her heart!

“Heh, you better watch your mouth!” The man drained the beer in his hand and pointed at Santiago Carmichael: “Old man, do you recognize me or not?”
“You are…”
Santiago Carmichael squinted his eyes, then said in some surprise: “Obinna Reed?”
“Exactly!
It’s me!”
The man slammed the empty bottle on the table: “Bet you didn’t see this coming, that I could achieve what I have today!”
“Obinna Reed, your motives are wrong, even if you shine now, one day you’ll be unlucky!” Santiago Carmichael said with some excitement, causing him to cough continuously.
“Old man!
Look at the state of you!
About to die, aren’t you?”
Obinna Reed laughed triumphantly: “Back then, when I was using the money you gave me for going to the internet cafe to game, you suspended your support!
That almost got me kicked out of school!
Now what?
I’m worth hundreds of millions, and you, destitute like a dog!”
“I must have been blind back then to have paid for your college education!
But you…
cough, cough…”
As he spoke, Santiago Carmichael couldn’t stop coughing: “You actually lied to me about needing tutoring, but instead used the money to surf the web at the internet café!
If I hadn’t stumbled upon it while picking up trash at the internet café, who knows how long you would have kept it hidden from me!”
“Bullshit!
I’m human too, why can’t I have fun?
Let me tell you, that year’s tuition, I lied to the school leaders, claiming you were my grandfather, a disabled firefighter, and got it waived by the school!”
Obinna Reed’s face was full of pride: “The money you sponsored me with that semester, I spent it all on game credits!
Haha!
Bet you never saw that coming?
The trash you picked up so painstakingly, one bottle at a time, I splurged it all away!
How does it feel?”
The more he spoke, the more excited he got.
And Santiago Carmichael’s coughing got worse.
“You truly are a dog!”
Harvey Martin was grinding her teeth with rage as she patted Santiago Carmichael’s back: “Not knowing gratitude is one thing, but now you return kindness with enmity?”
“Young lady, mind your own business.
I’ll let you in on a secret, today at the shore, I gave Medicine King Valley thirty million, asking them to take special care of the old man.”
Obinna Reed licked his lips, his face slightly flushed: “I arranged for someone to put some stones in the old man’s lifebuoy.
Hahaha!”
Having said that, he laughed proudly: “Are you satisfied now?”
“Obinna Reed?
What kind of a dog’s name is that?
Neither male nor female.”
Terry Moore couldn’t help but murmur: “Whoever named you must be an idiot!”
“Watch your words!”
Obinna Reed was furious.
“Obinna Reed, such actions will lead to retribution!
Be careful or you may not die a good death!”
Harvey Martin, looking at Santiago Carmichael coughing non-stop by her side, really wanted to go up and slap Obinna Reed across the face!
What a scumbag!
Worse than pigs and dogs!
“Hehe!
Retribution?
Where does retribution come from?”
Obinna Reed opened his arms and looked drunkenly at Harvey Martin: “Retribution…”
Bang!
Before he could finish, Julius Reed grabbed an empty bottle from the table.
And smashed it down!
“Retribution is here.
Happy now?”
PS: Feeling a bit off.
Updated seven chapters.
My apologies.
I only got four hours of sleep yesterday, so I’ll sleep early today.
Tomorrow, at least eight chapters guaranteed.
As requested, I will update in the afternoon and at midnight from now on.
At least three chapters at a time.
(Tonight’s four chapters are split into two updates, because I saw book friend Xi Yuan say they wanted two chapters to sleep well…
so I updated…
I indulge my fans…)
Haha, Lody often reads the comments.
For those updated at midnight, read them in the morning, take care of your health.
Avoid staying up late.
Your support, comments, and reviews, I take them all to heart.
My feelings may fluctuate, and my body may feel the cold and warmth.
But my love for you stays the same.
Lody thanks you for your support.
Without you, this book wouldn’t be where it is today.
I bow in gratitude to all of you.
