DAY BEFORE

"Mom! I'm leaving now," I said to my mother while putting my hunting gear into the bag.

"Okay, take care!" she said while cooking.

I stepped out the door and was immediately greeted by the warm rays of the sun.

I was wearing a thick black jacket and a cap for protection against the heat of the sun.

It took a few hours, and I finally entered the forest. I stopped for a moment, sat on the root of a large tree, and drank some water.

While I was drinking, I heard the grunt of a wild boar.

Not far away, I immediately stood up and took my dagger, quickly following the wild boar I saw eating. I slowly approached and hid behind a tree.

While the wild boar noticed that someone was watching him, it immediately ran away, and I quickly followed it.

"AHEHEHEHEHE! Give me all of your accessories!" said the thief while pointing a gun at the head of the bodyguard, who was bent over on the ground.

"Have mercy; don't kill us!" said a bodyguard while being held at gunpoint by a thief.

"Hey, there's a girl inside, Jacob!" speak like a thief

"Okay, bring him out here. Jacob," the leader of the thieves, said.

"Ahhhhh!" screamed the woman as the man pulled her out of the car.

"Where's the car key?" Jacob asked while pointing a gun at the bodyguard's head.

"Don't hurt her; here is the key!" said the bodyguard as he handed the key to Jacob.

"Ahahahaha! Boss, what are we going to do with them?" A man holding a gun is watching the two bodyguards and a young woman kneeling on the road.

"Don't kill us; we've given you everything!" shouted the bodyguard.

"Okay, finish those up", Jacob said as he got into the car.

He was about to shoot the man when suddenly.

"Oiiiiiinkkkkkkk!" The wild boar shouted as it passed by the road.

"Damn, you pig! I thought it was something else," the man said, then turned back to the three of them.

That wild boar runs so fast that while I was chasing the wild boar, I saw three people kneeling on the road while two men were standing and holding guns.

A man pointed a gun at a bodyguard, and I think he is going to shoot him.

Suddenly I sprinted faster, jumped, and kicked the man, sending him flying into the grass until he hit a tree.

"Bullshit! Damn!" shouted a man holding a gun who looked up. While I hadn't even touched the ground yet, I kicked the other man in the back, causing his bone to break.

I knocked down the two men, and when I looked at the three people, they were amazed by what I did.

"Van!?!???!" The woman on the side exclaimed, and when I looked, it was Sahara.

"Damn it!" I heard the big man shout from inside the car as he quickly got out and pointed the gun at me.

I quickly jumped into the car, braced my hand, and kicked the big man's arm, causing him to drop his gun and his bone to protrude from his hand. Because of this, the man lying on the road screamed in pain and felt the agony.

A few minutes later, a bodyguard called the police while the police had not yet arrived.

I was about to leave when Sahara suddenly called me along with her two bodyguards.

"Van! Thank you for helping us!" This is my gratitude for saving us." Sahara said as she handed over the money.

"It's nothing, and besides, I can't accept that money. If I accept it, what I did can no longer be called help". I turned around and ran towards where the wild boar ran.

When the police arrived, a bodyguard explained everything that happened.

"What did you just say?! A teenager took down these three thieves?!" said the police officer with surprise and amazement.

Yes, he just suddenly appeared and quickly took down the two right here in front of us, said one of the bodyguards.

"But how did he do that? And besides, the damage he caused to the thieves was severe; one of them had a bone sticking out of his hand."

"Mom! I'm here now," I said as I put down my bag.

"Oh, eat there! My mom said"

"How did it go? I caught a big one, Mom. I sold it at the market and paid the landlord, so you won't have to worry about the rent this month." I said while chewing my food.

"Sigh, Van". I appreciate what you did, but you don't need to worry about the bills here. My mom said as she hung up the clothes.

I didn't mention to him that something else happened earlier because I know my mom's attitude; she definitely wouldn't let me go to the forest if I told her that.

"Van, your uncle Dave called earlier. He said he would visit here and that tomorrow you two would go fishing."

"Yeah, sure, that sounds fun, and it's been a while since he last visited." I burped and drank some water.

"I'm going in my room, Mom!" I said and walked at the same time.

"Okay then"

The next day, my uncle Dave came to invite me to go fishing.

"Oh, Van, how's your studies?" said my godfather while sitting on the porch of our house.

"It's good, uncle!" I said to him while he was preparing the fishing gear.

"Oh, are you ready? Let's go! Let's leave early so we can catch a lot." said Uncle Dave while carrying the bags.

When we arrived at the river, we positioned ourselves under a small tree so we wouldn't be hit by the heat of the sun.

At the same time, put the bait on the hook.

In just a few hours of fishing, we have already caught a lot.

"Van, let's swim!" said Uncle Dave as he took off his clothes and jumped into the river, making a loud and big splash.

and I too jumped after him!

"Ahahahaha!" Laughter and teasing were happening that day.

While we were swimming, I asked him.

"Uncle, why do you have so many scars on your body?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Ahh, is this the one I used to work with before," Uncle Dave said while bathing in the river.

"Uncle Dave, do you know anything about my father?" I asked him.

"Your father, uhmm, as far as I know, is a handsome and kind person just like you!" and then splashed water on me.

"¡Ahahaha! ¡Ahahahaha!"

"Let's go, we're leaving! Let's go up together and get dressed to go home."

"We also caught quite a few, Van."

"Yeah, we'll earn a lot here."

After that, we entered the dense market together.

"five kilos," the vendor announced as she weighed our fish.

"Oh, how much is that?" Uncle said while leaning against the store wall.

"It also depends on the fish you caught," the vendor said while looking at our catch.

After we received the payment, my uncle gave me all the money.

"Oh, what is this, uncle?!" I asked him while looking at the money in my hands.

"I'm giving it all to you!"

Uncle, let's split this; you too also help to catch some fish. At the same time, I grabbed his hand and put his share of the money in it.

He took my hand again and returned the money to me.

"That's for you; think of it as my Christmas gift to you", he said with a smile.

"Ehhh, Christmas is still far away!" I said

"Well, you won't receive anything from me this Christmas." He said, and we both just laughed loudly and went home.

"Uncle, are you leaving already?!" Aren't you going to have dinner at least?!" I asked while standing and looking at my uncle.

"Ahhh, I might take a while to get home". He said as he left the house carrying his things.

"Okay, I'm leaving now! Van, Hikaru!" He said to us while turning away and waving.

While my mom and I were looking at him inside

"Okay! See you next time again, uncle". I shouted.

"Van! Let's eat!" mom said while preparing the food on the table.

"Okay, mom, I'm coming!" I said while holding the book.

After my mom and I finished eating, I asked for permission to go out.

"Go home right after, okay?" My mom said while preparing to sleep.

While I was walking outside, I saw five men who were gang members beating up a person.

His face is covered in bruises and full of blood.

But I just ignored it and continued walking.

"Jeff! Someone passed by; I think he saw us." A gang member said.

"Alright, follow him and bring them here," Jeff said, and the three men quickly followed his orders.

"Hey! Hey! You saw us earlier, right?!" The man behind me said while resting the metal bat on his shoulder.

"If you don't want to get hurt, follow us!" "hehehehehehe." said the man

I immediately followed them, and while we were inside a dark corner, the three blocked the exit, and the other two were in front of me. One was blowing cigarette smoke from his mouth, and the person they had beaten earlier was unconscious behind them.

"Because! You crossed into our territory!" "we will break one of your legs." said a man holding a steel bat

"You're so lucky; we're going to keep you alive! Ahahahahahahahaha." They all said it in unison, laughing

A man suddenly charged at me from behind, raising his bat as if he was about to hit me on the head.

I bent down and spun around, delivering a powerful punch to his face, causing his teeth to fly into the air and land on the dirty floor.

The two charged at the same time from both sides, but I jumped high and spread my legs, causing them to hit their faces.

I have already taken down three.

"Tsk! "Useless,"" muttered a man as he quickly pulled out a pocketknife and charged at me, aiming the blade at my stomach. I immediately dodged, grabbed his hand, and

kicked him in the knee, causing him to stumble back.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The man shouted while crawling.

"You're both worthless!" said the man as he threw away the cigarette.

He suddenly charged at me, swinging a metal bat, and I blocked it using my arm. Then, I put all my strength into my right hand and delivered an uppercut, causing his jaw to sink into his mouth.
