The Pride Game

Chapter 31

"Isn't that Jonathan? He's here! Hahaha! Come on, let's catch him, so he's willing to pay his debts!" shouted one of the men of the moneylender woman who owed Jonathan a debt.

"Yes, that's right! That's him! Come on, catch him!" another man answer.

"Yes, catch him!" exclaimed his friend, who also saw Jonathan.

"This time, don't let him live!"

The men in black suits wearing sunglasses immediately chased Jonathan, who ran away.

Jonathan panicked; he ran so fast to avoid the men. He regretted, why he had to meet those men here. The debt should have been paid, but the night he was willing to pay it, he met his family who needed hospital treatment, so Jonathan gave the money to his family.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing!" shouted the fruit seller who was tidying up her wares; Jonathan accidentally bumped into the woman, causing her to fall on top of the durian fruit that stuck to the old woman's wrinkled skin. "Aaaah!" the woman groaned. Jonathan saw the durian thorn hurt the woman's face; he immediately stopped and turned his body to help the woman.

"Madam, I'm sorry. I will help you." Jonathan immediately lifted the woman's face from the fruits in front of her.

The woman screamed between anger and pain. "You are a bad man! You have hurt an old woman like me! Watch out for yourself!" After the woman was saved by Jonathan, the woman immediately took the broom that was nearby, then beat Jonathan. Screaming, the woman said, "Feel this! Feel this!" Her face was filled with anger and indignation.

"Aaaah!" A barrage of blows with force strong enough to make Jonathan's head hurt. "Sorry, Madam! Sorry, Madam! I was wrong! I'm sorry!"

The woman was offended. "Sorry! Save your sorry words at the police station!"

What! Police station! Jonathan exclaimed in his mind, why did it have to come to the police station!

The men in black suits were getting closer, Jonathan stammered. He was stuck with this old woman.

"If you don't want to take responsibility, then you must get the hit from my husband!" the woman shouted again.

Hearing the woman's last words, Jonathan was so frightened and added someone who said, "What's wrong, my wife?" With a deep voice from inside the shop, Jonathan immediately ran away.

His heart was beating fast; he was really in trouble right now. But it was hard because he was at the market, so he had to avoid the crowds.

Jonathan's breath hitched, his chest pounding so fast, and nervousness overtook him.

Jonathan's head went blank, but he knew there would be an empty road ahead; even though it was quiet but he could run fast. The road ahead is a road that connects the market with the highway. Jonathan thought that he would be safer when he got to the street. Hence he bumped into several people in front of him in a hurry and a frantic voice. "Excuse me, excuse me. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." His face was grave and worried. His hands were opened as if asking for a way; several people in front of him immediately moved left and right, making way for Jonathan.

Just a few more steps, he could already make it out of this place. His eyes sparkled, radiating happiness.

Unfortunately, what happened next did not go according to the plan he had previously made because the husband of the fruit seller immediately shouted, "That man is a thief! That man is a thief! That man is a thief!"

Immediately, people saw where the fruit seller's index finger was pointing.

Hah! The buyers were so embarrassed and realized that they had made way for a thief.

In a loud voice, one of the buyers said, "Hey! This is the thief! Come on, let's get him! Don't let him run!"

All the sellers and buyers almost all knew the old man selling the fruit, so they believed what the old man said. When they heard the man say that this man was a thief, everyone around Jonathan immediately turned to Jonathan and beat him hard.

"Give back what you stole, you damn young man! You deserve to get this! How dare you steal from an old man who sells fruit every day!"

While others, who also felt they had to uphold justice, kicked Jonathan's body on all sides. They do not like a thief, because they are also afraid if someone steals their goods, so to inform the public that the actions of thieves can be judged by the public, everyone who is caught stealing must be severely beaten. In this way, they also want to teach other people that stealing is a bad thing.

"Shameless! Even though he is young but he steals! How dare this person! Can he not just work! Indeed this young man is lazy!" shouted the others, making the situation around them even more chaotic.

Jonathan's face was repeatedly kicked, causing blood to run through his nose and mouth even though he had covered it with both hands.

Jonathan was about to say, "Please forgive me ... I'm not a thief," but the voice stopped in his throat. destroying him, when one of the kicks hit him in the stomach, Jonathan was really in pain, he held his stomach but he was out of luck because another man's kick smashed the lip.

"Aaaah!" Jonathan's eyes and lips were bruised, the color of his face was already blue. He couldn't even move anymore. The pain was all over his body. Only thread-thin breaths were all he still had. When his eyes closed, he couldn't remember anything anymore, everything seemed peaceful, and everything seemed calm.

Several men in black suits who had been chasing after him laughed happily. They don't have to work hard to beat Jonathan, because Jonathan has been judged by the crowd.

"Who told you, you can steal!" They burst out laughing and squealing. After they were sure that Jonathan could no longer move, they immediately left the place.

This morning's scenery was really pleasant, they just needed to report it to their boss.
