Chapter 300
Crystal searched for a high-ranking barbecue restaurant and went there with Anaya. When she passed
by the convenience store on the street, she suddenly saw a shabby old man squatting at the door with
a pale face. She didn’t know what was going on.
The old man looked like he was in his sixties. His hair and beard were all white, which were
incompatible with this bustling commercial street. He looked like an intruder.
Anaya asked softly. “Is he a beggar?”
Crystal said, “I don’t think so. His clothes are quite clean. Let’s go and have a look.”
Anaya nodded.
The two of them walked up to the old man together. Crystal squatted down and asked softly. “Sir,
what’s wrong with you?”
The old man’s dry lips moved, and his expression seemed to be crying. “… My money got cheated by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomeone.”
“What?” Crystal hurriedly asked. “Did it just happen?”
“Yes.” The old man took a deep breath and said, “Just now, a young man said that it’s not safe for me
to bring cash around. Nowadays, people in big cities are all using E… E-wallet. I just have to take my
mobile phone with me and I don’t have to worry that my cash will be stolen. He said that he would
transfer the money to me after I pass him the cash…”
Speaking of this, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed. “I borrowed money from everyone in
the village, and I finally gathered three hundred dollars… They were all cheated away!”
Anaya pulled open her bag and took out thirty dollars from it. “Sir, you can use this money first.”
The old man quickly waved his hand and said. “How can I ask for your money? I know that it’s not easy
for you little girls to make money… My daughter is about the same age as you…” Speaking of this, his
eyes turned red and he said, “I don’t want your money.”
Crystal thought for a moment and said, “Sir, where did you meet that scammer?”
The old man said, “Here.”
Coincidentally, the cashier just came out after she was done with her shift. Hearing their conversation,
she said, “I know that person. He’s a famous gangster here. We all call him Jason Heatler. He is a
good-for- nothing. There is no one in this area who doesn’t hate him, but he has too many friends. He
also has an uncle working in the police station!”
She shook her head and said, “Miss, I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Jason Heatler is not
easy to deal with. He has a group of thugs. Even if he kills someone, he will not be afraid. He has
connections and is not afraid of going to jail.”
Crystal frowned and asked, “Where will Jason usually be at this hour?”
“He just got the money. He probably went to drink with his buddies right in front of this place. There’s a
barbecue shop there.” The cashier pointed to the road and said, “I advise you not to get involved in
this…”
“Thank you, miss.” Crystal said, “I know what I should do.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe turned to help the old man up and said, “Sir, I’ll take you back the money.”
The old man was stunned. “Take back the money? No way. That scammer has so many people with
him… I can’t implicate you in this…”
Crystal curled her lips. “Isn’t it just a fight? I’m not afraid of fighting.”
“!” Anaya looked at her in shock. “Are you a hidden kung fu master?” However, Crystal was so thin and
small. She didn’t look like one.
Or were masters all well-hidden in the city?
Crystal said, “I don’t know how to fight.” She took out her phone and looked through the contacts. “But I
know how to call someone.”
Anaya was speechless.
Crystal quickly made a phone call. “Hey, Antony, are you busy? Oh… you’re having lunch. Hurry up
and come over… It’s nothing. I’m only calling you to come and fight with a group of people.”
Antony. “?”
