Debt

Near the door, two people were standing, it is a middle-aged man and a schoolgirl. The man had jet black hair, eyes with black iris that looked tired but actually sharp, plus his black eye bags, the way he stood was also a bit lethargic, he wore a hoodie jacket to cover his appearance. While beside her, a short black haired girl with a cute face, her eyelids are quite large with brown irises.

Across from them, a woman who was seen wearing hospital patient clothing, was smiling at them.

"It's good to see you again, Ryuei."

The lethargic man, Ryuei, gasped when he heard the voice of a woman looking at them with a warm smile that he had not been seen for a long time. Ryuei intended to say hello, that his mouth was already making O-shape, but there's any word came from his mouth. It's not a word that coming out of the mouth, but instead the tears that flowed from the corner of his eye to the chin and the drops fell to the floor.

"Mother," Ryuei said quietly, and slowly walked over to the woman who was sitting on the bed.

The girl who came with him, his sister named Nina, heaved a sigh of relief while stroking her chest. She also walked slowly behind his brother. While her brother was hugging her mother in tears, Nina and her mother looked at each other and chuckled, grateful to see the only boy of their family who had locked themselves in for two years, had finally come out of his cage.

A long time had passed, after releasing all his feelings, Ryuei then told his mother about the money he had gotten. Enthusiastically, Ryuei, told his mother how he played his favorite game which was about to be closed, and just before the game was closed, he managed to get hundreds of millions of money, with a reason that his good friend in the game wanted to help Ryuei with his mother's care.

"With this money, you will get well soon and we can back at that nice day!" Ryuei said excitedly, as if he no longer cared about the intention of hiding his appearance.

His mother shook her head slowly, seeing that reaction, Ryuei suddenly opened his eyes widely, his mind as if swallowed by a dark cloud.

"That's not possible, that money isn't enough for mother's care here. Besides, we haven't paid off our debt a few years ago, for mother's medical expenses."

"How much do you have to pay for it?" Ryuei asked.

"Around nine hundred million to one billion," said Nina, concluding the conversation between her mother and brother.

"Nine?!"

Ryuei was shocked and immediately put on a gloomy face, his mother just chuckled seeing his son's reaction, even though he was already big but his behavior was like a child every time his son talked to her.

"Cough, cough... Don't worry, your father will definitely--"

"Mother!" snapped Nina.

The mother fell silent and closed her mouth immediately, they both knew that something related to the father would make Ryuei feel upset. Every time he heard the word 'father' that referred to Ryuei's parents, it was something he really hated. The reason Ryuei shut himself up also had something to do with his father.

Seeing Ryuei who bowed his head in silence, the mother worried that something would happen to her son, she tried to hold his son's hand.

"Ryuei...."

Ryuei raised his head and looked at his mother who put on a sad face, after looking at him, the one who was shocked was her, she didn't expect Ryuei would make a smiley bright face like that.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pay for mother's medical expenses before that man."

Ryuei stood up and let go of her mother's hand, "Fuhh, I want to go buy a drink first."

Ryuei then left the room. Nina and her mother looked at each other for a moment and then looked toward the door feeling worried.

Ryuei stood in front of a drink machine, put in a few coins and pressed a number, after which a can of cola dropped from the machine. He took the cola and immediately opened it, before drinking the cola, he sat down on a bench next to the machine and then made a drink.

"How can i get that number of money...." Ryuei pondered, thinking of the best and fastest way to get money before someone he really hated first came and paid for his mother's medical expenses.

While he was pondering, a group of people in suits stood in front of him.

"Oi!" said the deep voice.

Ryuei gasped, immediately looked up and saw the figure of a brown-skinned person with short curly hair, behind him stood three big men as his bodyguard. After a while staring at the curly guy, Ryuei then remembered the figure of the man.

"I heard you got some money, is that true?" said the man.

"What do you mean?" Ryuei asked while his voice is trembled.

The man laughed, then said, "Don't underestimate our group."

His hand reached out to the side, as if to ask for something, one of his bodyguard immediately nodded and gave a green book and a pen. After getting the two items, the curly guy smirked. He opened the book and turned it up to the middle page, there, tucked in some photo paper and a micro sd card.

"Want to know how we found out?" said the man, holding a four-photo paper and a micro sd card in his hand.

He throws the photo paper to the floor, while puts the card to his phone. Ryuei took the four photo papers, and saw a picture that showed four different scenes; his dark room, the family room when he talked to his sister, the front of his house, and the patient room where his mother was being treated.

"You installed a camera in our house, since when?!"

"Guess it?" the man asked a question.

Ryuei didn't answer it but instead looked at him sharply, coupled with his black eye bags, making him look a bit creepy when viewed from the top corner.

"Don't want to answer? Hah, so boring. Well, let me tell you, from the beginning your parents borrowed money from us, we have installed cameras in your house. Then, when your mother was sick, we also installed cameras in her room," said the man .

"Why?" Ryuei's voice trembled.

"Do I have to answer? What's more important now is that our goal here is to collect your two hundred million in debt."

"Two—?! I only have one hundred million," Ryuei said.

The man stroked his chin and stared cynically at Ryuei, then called someone over his phone, he talked to that person about Ryuei's debt problem. After 5 minutes, the man hung up and looked back at Ryuei.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't you have one hundred and sixty million," the man grinned.

Ryuei squeezed his teeth, his hands clenched hard like stones. Realizing this, the curly guy ordered his bodyguards to stand by. Ryuei suddenly stood up, shocked the curly guy and he stepped back, while his three bodyguards stood in front of him on standby.

However, unexpectedly, they were shocked when they saw the young man whom they owed the debt, now prostrating themselves in front of them. "Please give us—no, I, extra time to pay in full of my parent's debt. But for now, I can only pay a half of it!"
