Enraged, Sole Wolf was about to get physical with the villagers when Zeke stopped him.
“Stop it, Sole Wolf!” commanded Zeke.
Even though Sole Wolf was boiling with anger, he had no choice but to suppress his fury.
“How much do the twins owe you guys?” Zeke asked the old villager.
After a rough estimation, the elderly man answered, “We lent them everything we had, so it had to be at least ten
thousand.”
Zeke did not find the amount laughable. Instead, he was heartbroken. Ten thousand? The rich in the city spend
more than that on a single meal. However, the villagers had to pool their life savings together just to reach that
amount. This huge gap between the rich and the poor only exists because I didn't do my job right.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke then turned to Sole Wolf. “How much do you have on you?”
“A little less than thirty thousand.”
“Give it all to them.”
“Sure!”
Sole Wolf threw the money to the villagers without a second thought because thirty thousand was nothing to him.
When the banknotes rained down on the villagers, they were so moved that they started crying. We'll never be able
to earn thirty thousand no matter how hard we work. Yet, that man threw it away as if it was nothing to him. They
must be tycoons from the city! And we thought that young man was a thief. How silly of us!
“None of you move a muscle! Give me the banknotes if you have them, and I'll ensure everybody gets their share.
Whoever dares keep the money to themselves will be punished!” warned the old villager.
The other villagers wanted to pocket some of the money but quickly changed their minds after hearing about the
punishment.
The elderly man then took off his shirt to bag the cash before turning to smile at Zeke. “What is your name, sir?”
“My last name is Williams,” replied Zeke.
“Hi there, Mr. Williams. First of all, let me thank you on behalf of our village because you've just saved us all. We
had a terrible harvest this year; we're so low on food that one of us starved to death two days ago. If it weren't for
what you did just now, more of us could die of hunger.”
Die of hunger? Sole Wolf widened his eyes at the old man in disbelief. “It's the twenty-first century. Do people still
die of hunger?”
“Does that surprise you? People in our village starve to death all the time. We're doing much better now, actually.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, five out of ten families wouldn't make it. That number has gone down significantly,” responded the old
villager.
Sole Wolf's eyes slowly turned red, for he never expected that such a pitiful village existed in Eurasia.
“Mister, I need you to tell me about Yannick and Yoshua,” urged Zeke.
To that, the elderly man nodded fervently in response. “Of course. I digressed. I'll tell you what you want to know. If
the twins and their family were still around, they would've been the richest in the village, if not the town. I could tell
that Yannick and Yoshua were brilliant, and I was right. They were the only ones in the village to get accepted into
university. However, they were too poor to afford the tuition fee. Plus, their parents suffered from chronic diseases.
The family did not even have enough money for food and medicine, so how could they send Yannick and Yoshua to
university? As the village head, I got everyone in the village to donate our money to the twins in the end. Because
of that, the twins made it to university. We paid for their tuition fee and even their parents' medical fees. After they
graduated from university, I heard they began working for a big company and were earning tens of thousands a
month.”
