This wealth must be earned

The city soils were extremely rich and fit her requirements for agriculture. She took it. She paid in full and received all rights to the city in full.

Now, the only headache was how to get there. Of course, the orphanage dean delivered on his promise. He got her fake identity documents to smooth her voyage to the south. He also got a ghost bank card. This card was connected to her stashed funds but not to the profit she would get from the rental and lease of her mom's properties.

Yes, she spoke with one of the best attorneys from the west. She made sure to skip all the eastern attorneys. They might sell her out to her annoying father. The West Law Firm has quite a reputation, and they don't know her father.

They work without the interference of position or authority. The way they handled her inheritance was top-notch.

Everything was settled, but Gary was nowhere to be found. She has commissioned some trackers to find the whereabouts of Gary, but none could complete the high-paying job.

This is serious, but she was worry-free. Since her father's trained killers could not eliminate him, it means Gary was on the run. It is possible that he concealed himself well.

She can't wait anymore. She got the feeling that the more active she was, the greater the possibility of falling into the hands of Zero. The head assassin of her father. She took her pen and paper and wrote to Gary. Sealing the letter in a brown envelope. A lot of thoughts made her give up the idea of messaging Gary. The internet service providers might have been commissioned by her dad.

There might be a lot of hired workers listening to every cell phone conversation. Be it a call or text message of all users. It was better safe to sorry.

She arranged everything in their little underwater cave. She placed the letter in an easy-to-find location.

She walked to the exit cave mouth and stopped in her footsteps. She scans the underwater cave again. It was to print every shared memory with Gary in her mind.

She left for good. Staying around would make it difficult to leave her father's territory. Why not try a new future that awaits her?

Some minutes later,

She exited the underwater cave entrance. She carefully camouflaged the location. Masking it from the world at large.

There was nothing to do again. She went to the secret location where the dean of the orphanage parked the brand new muscle car. It was her ticket to escape to the south.

She arrived at the agreed-upon location. The muscle ride was there with fully loaded gasoline for long-distance travel. She hopped in and drove away.

Gary, who was at the Dr. Zachary Roy apartment, awoke at the same hour.

"..." Gary was confused.

He used inaudible words. "I should be dead!"

"Judging from normal circumstances, you should really be dead, but who was I again? The transcendence doctor, Zachary Roy." Dr. Zachary Roy didn't forget to brag about his old self.

"So, you are my life saviour. I owe you a life, doctor."

"But I have to leave. I really need to see someone." Dr. Zachary Roy stopped Gary when he attempted to get out of bed.

"Easy boy! You are in no mood to move around." Dr. Zachary Roy angrily said this to Gary.

"No, doctor. I have to leave this instance, or I will cause trouble for you."

"My girlfriend's father is a powerful man. He has vowed to kill me and everything I know for impregnating his daughter."

"I have to say goodbye and be on the run. I might not get lucky the second time and have you treat me." He made a gesture to rise from the bed.

He was pinned down to the bed by Dr. Zachary Roy.

"Boy!! If you are itching enough to die, why not let me send you off? Do you think you have escaped the critical hour? Lie obediently, BOY, and heal up." The calm doctor, Zachary Roy, lost his temper.

After some time, the doctor said, "I will help you gather information about your girlfriend's family, but you must rest to recover. As for those after your life, they dare not step into my building."

"Thank you, doctor. I seriously appreciate any of your effort.". Gary repeatedly thanked him.

Dr. Zachary Roy picked up his cell phone. He dialed a number but stopped and turned to the boy who fought death and lived. He said," What was her family surname?"

"Hattie. The family surname." Gary replied to his saviour.

"Ol' boy, you provoked that mad family. No wonder the old, scary monster wants your life. You seriously ruined his precious plans. I won't be surprised if he orders the abortion of your child."

"Nooo! Elaine won't agree to such a request." Gary held the bed sheet tight.

"Boy, you don't get it. Your little sweetheart won't have any say when the old scary has decided on what need to be done."

The call connects...

The end of the receiver was a low and hoarse male voice.

"After years old friend you remembered to call me." The low hoarse voice spoke to the hearing of both Dr. Zachary Roy and Gary.

"Henry long time. You sound stressed out. What is the problem? One other question, why are there movement from the mad Hattie mansion? Are we safe? Should we get ready to run to another city?" Dr. Zachary Roy asked the so-called Henry.

"Hey! At least, give me the opportunity to answer a question before you bomb me with another question." Henry complained but went ahead to reply his old friend.

"Well, Haa! Where do I start from?"

"Start from anywhere you dum-dum. Are you teasing my old heart." Dr. Zachary Roy barked from his side.

"Ha-ha, you are still the impatient chihuahua breed dog. Barking with no teeth power." Henry laughed out loud.

"Your entire generation is a chihuahua breed dogs. Tell me or I end this conversation."

"*Huff* Nothing new. Just the little pub of the old scary defiling his abortion order and successfully escaping from home. Rumors have it that she escaped from the sea. The least expected escape route. She might have planned her escape for a long time. She made the old, scary monster look like a complete idiot. The old scary, of course, would vent on all his subordinates. We are kind of careful nowadays. No one wished to be the scapegoat. The mantle should fall on the pig who ate the swan's forbidden fruit."

Dr. Zachary Roy looked at Gary. Gary shifted his gaze to his finger while at the same time being extremely happy. She escaped through the underwater cave route. She hardly completed one swim lapse, but she fu*king did it this time around. That's my sugar crush.

I understand what needs to be done. I will have to check out our little secret cave. Then, plan my next move. Since poverty is barring me from being with my love. I will work hard to the point of using newly printed currencies as my toilet paper.

He had heard the greatest news today. Since he noticed the strange behaviours from Hatti's mansion the last time, it had been a series of bad news and courting of death.

Now, he can relax and recuperate. This wealth must be earned till it becomes a waste of increasing numbers.
