Chapter - 179

The cripple panicked when he heard that he was fired.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up, while his body was swayed. He looked like he would fall anytime.

“Sir, l-look, l-I’m fine now. Please don’t fire me. My daughter is in the hospital, and I’m in urgent need of money to save her life. If you fire me, my daughter will really die soon.”

The contractor said indifferently, “What does that have to do with me? You have delayed the progress of the construction, so I will never hire you again. Get out of here now!”

Then, the contractor even rubbed his shoe against the body of the cripple. “Damn, you dirtied my shoe. Disgusting!”

Seeing that the contractor was about to leave, the cripple got down on his knees and wrapped his arms around the contractor’s legs.

“Please, sir, give me one last chance. I’m really fine now! I won’t ever affect the construction period again.”

Smack!

Without any hesitation, the constructor slapped the cripple in the face. “Did you not hear me asking you to get out of here? If you keep f*cking pestering me, I won’t give you the salary you’ve earned this month.”

The cripple was so desperate that he cried out, “It’s my fault! Gosh, I’m useless. I’ve failed you.”

Men wouldn’t shed tears easily, but at this moment, the cripple was devastated.

Meanwhile, Zeke finally managed to wade into the crowd.

After seeing the face of the ‘cripple’, Zeke was heartbroken.

I was right. This ‘cripple’ is really my high school best friend, Hudson Callum.

However, Hudson looked like a completely different person now.

Zeke couldn’t have recognized him if it weren’t for the fact that he used to be very close with Hudson.

Although Hudson was the same age as Zeke, he now looked so old that he could be Zeke’s father.

Most of his hair had turned grey, while his skin was tanned and rough, with nothing but bones underneath it.

His clothes were ragged and his exposed skin was covered in scars.

His appearance was not much better than a beggar on the street.

Time had left a deep mark on him.

Zeke couldn’t imagine what he-his used-to-be best friend-had gone through all these years!

The contractor, whose patience had been exhausted, raised his hand high, about to slap the cripple again.

Zeke rushed up and stopped the contractor. “Stop it!”

The contractor shot Zeke a disdainful glance. “Go away. I’m teaching my dog a lesson. It’s none of your business!”

The others also gave Zeke a strange look, wondering why this man was standing up for a lowly cripple.

Raising his head, the cripple glanced at Zeke. He then shuddered, hurriedly bowed his head, and turned to leave!

He had recognized Zeke at once.

He was now embarrassed to see his old classmate and best friend!

Zeke hurriedly shouted, “Hudson, stop it right there!”

“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not Hudson, but Cripple!” said Hudson hastily.

“I said, stay where you are!” Zeke’s eyes reddened slightly.

His voice was loud like a great bell, exuding the majesty as the God of War in an extremely imposing manner!

Everyone at the scene felt a chill running up their spines. They couldn’t help but feel terrified as if a mouse had seen a cat!

They were overawed.

Hudson also instinctively came to a halt.

Zeke walked up to him and gave him a bear hug.

Hudson hurriedly struggled. “Hey, Zeke, l-I’m dirty. I’ll stain your clothes!”

Zeke yelled angrily, “A**hole, why didn’t you contact me even when you’re doing so badly? You have my permanent email address!”

Hudson touched his broken leg, choking up. “I’m embarrassed to see you, Zeke!”

“As long as you don’t steal, rob, cheat or lie, you’ll always be my best friend!” Zeke said, “Don’t you fu*king treat me as your best friend, huh?”
