Hero Saves The Beauty

"Damn them, I will remember this." Spoke a boy that seem to be in his teens as he picks himself up off the ground unsteadily and started to walk away. You could see the cuts and bruises on his face as he continued to walk out of the back alley to the main street. He staggers and limp a few times as his face grimace in pain, while constantly cursing.

He could be considered tall for a Chinese youth as he is 6ft tall, very dark hair, it could be black or brown hair, no one could tell as his hair as a lot of grimes in it. Face that couldn't be consider handsome or ugly, just one that was pleasing to the eye.

His clothes are very dirty, all over his pants and shirt he has some patches that seem to have been sown up by a five-year-old, very likely. No one would even think he was a civilized person as even a beggar wouldn't want to wear these kinds of clothes.

[AN: Hey hold up there, why are you picking on five-year-old?]

Wearing his clothes that are not in fashion now, no they seem to be most likely some second-hand clothes.

[AN: Third or fourth hand down]

Walking on the side walk, while occasionally staggering bumping into people that are walking about. Some people are not nice like others as they seem ready to get physical with the person who bump into them. The action of those few people seem to cause a commotion as the other passerby disperse making a circle around them.

Curious people turn around and look at the boy that had wounds all over his body, of course no one would take the time out the way and ask him if he's alright. Some look at him with pity, scorn and some gloating in other people's misfortune.

Seeing something might happened here, he hurriedly makes his way out of the circle. Of course, those few people didn't forget to give a few 'presents' to him and happily sending him on his way.

[AN: Presents here means fists]

Some people starts to laugh, making fun and mocking him. About what other people thinks about him, the boy seems to not really care at all or rather he had gotten used to these stares for the past 10 years.

He completely ignored them as he is having a hard time enduring the pain of two consecutive beatings. Well, even if he wasn't in pain now, he would still not pay attention to these assholes.

Lost in thought as he was thinking. He did not realize he was talking to himself the entire time. Speaking to himself trying to think about what to do about his circumstance.

" I'm 18 today, I don't think I want to go back this early, it's my birthday and I want to walk around until it gets dark. Those people wouldn't care if I come back or not anyways and I have to move away this week coming. I can also look for a work tomorrow." The boy spoke with frustration remembering what happened in the past.

***Flash back begins***

This boy's name is Tang Hoi, in the past, his parents loved him so much that they would spoiled him. He would go to the park, go to restaurants every week, asking for money for the things he wanted. He pretty much has the same life style as those silkpants young master of rich families. Of course, this didn't mean he did bad things at all, quite the contrary, he obeyed his parents. His parents tell him to the dishes he would do it no questions ask. He learned to be responsible for his actions and try to rely on himself.

Sometimes he would come home from school and not see his parents because of their work, so he treasures the time he spends with his them. He was not a snot nose brat that didn't know much. Some nights he saw his parents come home at night, barely able to move their bodies. He knew they were doing this for him, so he gave then as much time they needed together.

So not to bother his parents, he went out and got some friends. Which was easy as he lives at a place close to school that he goes to. He was also famous in school as he has good grades, not only that, he was also good at sports, very easy to talk to, so yeah 'friends' he got. They had the most fun times together. However, that all change 10 years ago, when something tragic happen that shattered his world.

His beloved parent's where driving home from work that day, no one knew if the gods where playing tricks on the Tang family. On one of the happiest day for the Tang family, as it was the day they finish the payoff for the house they live in.

(For those who want to know, the house was a three-floor building that was few years old. Four bedrooms, three on the second floor and one on third (master room). Two restrooms, one on the first and second floor. It had a big kitchen on the second floor. Living room on the first floor.)

As they were coming back home to celebrate with their son, they just happened to meet some craze driver that was speeding on rode coming towards them. His dad seeing what is happening tried to get off the road to park the car, but who would have thought the driver would do the same right after his dad.

That's when the accident that change his life for the worse happened, it said that his parent dies instantly in the crash. Knowing that his parents died instantly, did make him feel a little better. In the end, he was lonely as he was the last of the Tang bloodline.

The driver that crash into his parent's car, got away with some injury but since he was still alive, it couldn't be counted as much. The driver was rush to hospital immediately after the ambulance came and did a check up on him. It turns out that he was the director of a multibillion dollar company that had strong ties to the government.

At first, the police wanted to do an investigation of what happened but when they got a report from the hospitals telling them who was in the accident, they wrote it off as his parent being in the wrong.

Although everyone at the scene know who was in the wrong, no one paid any attention to it at all, as if they couldn't see it. How could he not understand what they were trying to do? did he agreed? Of course, the answer was no.

His parents were dead, he had no one else in his family to rely on, had no background. The other party was a rich person with a powerful background that he couldn't compare with. So even an idiot knows whose side to pick.

If that wasn't enough, the house deed that his parents had, was burned in the crash. The owner of the house said that they didn't sell the house to anyone, so they could get the house back and the money.

The police did some investigation to find out anything about the matter, since they felt guilty toward the kid, but they could not find any clue pointing to selling the house. They couldn't even find a document that should have the authorities signature anywhere. So, since the deed was destroyed in the accident, the police had no choice but to say that the house was not sold.

He once thought about getting revenge on the person who killed his parents, but it was only a thought that flash by. That's how the tragic nightmare playout.

Since then, he was sent to an orphanage to be taken care of. At first the people of orphanage were nice to him, until they gradually start distance themselves from him.

Well, he knows the reason for that, it was his fault, after his parents die and how the police handle things, it made his heart went cold. People would talk to him and he wouldn't answer. He just had a blank look on his face, when he came to, he started to see things more clearly.

His friends that he had, all stop playing with him, making fun of him. They started bullying him for the past 10 years now. He keeps telling himself to endure.

***Back to present. ***

Anyway, thats the story, since then, he has been cold to everyone to protect himself. He would talk to people, he would try to avoid trouble as much as possible.

As he makes his way out of the crowd, he continued to walk until he is waiting at the intersection to cross the road. He saw a young girl of around 8/9 years old, she was wearing school uniform while running across the street as cars shot by. The passersby are just watching without doing anything as if they are watching a show.

"Get out of the road!" he shouted towards the girl, even though he does not know way he is doing this, as he taught he was cold hearted and had shut his emotions away. He rushes across the road towards the girl.

A car started to screw into to the road, rushing towards the girl and was about to run her over. Just as the car was about to run her over, Tang Hoi who had rush towards the girl earlier was just 2 meters away, it was as if he had overcome something as he felt lots of energy flowing in his body and jump forward and push the girl out of the way. As the girl was push, she was shoved 3 meters away, her arm was hit hard the against the ground, she watched as blood flow out of her elbow speechless. Seem as if awoke by the pain, a scream sounded as if pigs were being slaughtered resound in the street, follow by the sound of a collision.

Tang Hoi was hit and thrown 5 meters in the air. Blood flow out of his mouth, arms lying flapping at his side as he fell to the ground, lifelessly. Even the light in his eyes where dimming as he lies there. No one knew if he was seeing his life flash before his eyes are not.

The girl stops screaming as she looks around as she saw a brand-new BMW in a tragic state as the front of car was smash inwards, it was hard to know if the driver was still alive or dead.

While she was wondering if the driver was dead or alive she saw something flying in the air, until it hit the ground hard.

Noticing something wrong, she looks at it and saw it was a person. She could not really tell since smoke was coming out of the BMW making the person seem hazy.

She crawled over towards the person until she was 5 meters away.

5 meters away, she looked and saw a poodle of blood and a man lying there barely breathing. She continued to crawl over towards him and arrived at his side screaming hysterically. " Hey mister, you alright? mister please speak to me please."

Tang Hoi whose life was like a candle in the wind, about to go out any time now, open his eyes and saw the young girl he just saved in front of him crying so he opens his mouth and spoke to her, " it's alright.... Cough... you okay...Cough." he vomited blood as he spoke that single sentence. He felt that single act has wasted a lot of his energy.

"Thank the gods you alright, I ...have… something to say, I just have to tell you, the car that was coming wasn't going to run me over.... but coming to pick me up....so what you did was unnecessary." The girl worried face was red as if she was embarrassed as she stuttered the words out. As she said those words, she wheezed a bit as the pain was intense on her arm.

[AN: remember the girl hit her arm hence pain]

Tang Hoi, who was listening to girl was at first glad that she was not ungrateful person, as she came over worried about him, but after listening to the second part of her words, he was so angry that he vomited blood with bits of his organs and pass away.

The girl was at first scared as she saw him vomiting blood with his organs and back away, then came to his side.

" H…ey m.. ister!! d...o...n't g....o away." Tang Hoi that had pass away heard the girl's voice as his consciousness disperse in the void.
