Evil Awe-Inspiring

Chapter 8 - Do you believe the luckiness?

The tall and thin man talks to me with a standard businessman style. “Mr. Chen, first of all, I need to explain that our major business is not the rent business. You don’t have to stand up to leave so soon. I’ve told you that we do have the apartment which may satisfy you for sure! But before that, I need to explain something to you.”

“First, I just said that our major business is not the real estate leasing but of another product. When you have bought that product, you have become our member. The house will be one of the member profits, which means if you are one of our member, you would get a nice house. Just that easy! The benefits of our members are very good, including many preferential services.”

“Wait, wait! You mean…” I’m really confused, swallowing saliva, trying to understand what he is saying. “You mean I just need to buy one product then I can be a member and get a house free of charge. You… What kind of organization you are? There’s no any company will arrange house to your members. What kind of organization are you?”

Tall thin man replies with smile. “Our business is to benefit the society and serve the general public. We are absolutely harmless.”

All of a sudden, he moves out a huge wooden box from under the table. I am shocked again (for how many times already?) Damn! It should be nothing there under the table. Where he grabs such a big box out? Is that a magic?

He ignores my surprise and opens the box. A smaller box is inside. He opens the second one, then I see the third, 4th, 5th…I feel I almos in the edge of breakdown when seeing this.

He sighs and soliloquizes: “My luck is too bad to be arranged such a low level membership quota.”

I see he takes something out form the innermost box and put it on the table. Then he throws the box away. The box is flying within a beautiful curved shape and… over the rooftop, dropping to the ground.

…

“FXXX” I jump up. It’s the 22th floor. Even a foolish knows that you can’t throw anything from such a high building. It will cause big troubles. What if hurt people? If people are not hurt, plants will be hurt too.

I run to the guardrail and look down. So far it’s peaceful down there. The box he has thrown is missing.

Is this still a magic?

The thing he took out from the boxes is a small shinning thing. He takes it on hand and introduces: “Please look! This is our major product. We call it luckiness adjustment device. By wearing this, you may control your life. You life will be driving into a highway! Do you want to get success on your career for 30 years less fight? Do you want to marry the beauty you are dreaming about? Do you want to be the star of the crowd? What you need to do is to wear it and all the dreams will come true!”

He is too exciting to ignore that his sprays of saliva flies to my face. I wipe my face hard. I’m sure now! He is a liar indeed! He is just kind of the guy who is crazy for the direct sale.

I’m not interesting to say anything anymore. I turn back and ready to go! When I’m just stepping, he’s speaking loud to me. His word has me stopped because of the sarcastic tone.

“Mr. Yang Chen, haven’t your parents educated you to show respects while others is talking to you?”

These words are really hurting me. My parents died early. Yes, they didn’t educate me indeed. I used to be laughed at. But when I had learned kongfu, there isn’t anyone dare to do that anymore, since someone’s teeth were beaten by me.

I walk straight to him, clench my fists and ready to have someone’s teeth missed.

“Wait! Wait!” He keeps shaking his hand and jumping up to hide, “Look, don’t ever try to beat me. I’ve checked that I won’t bleed today. If you don’t want to hurt yourself, you’d better stop!”

I rush to him, grab his cloth and lift him up, walk to the edge of the rooftop, put him outside or the guardrail.

He starts screaming like a cat on the fire. I never imagine that a voice from a man can be shriller than a woman.

“You silly fool! Let me go back! I have acrophobia!” He’s grabing my arms, kicking his legs like a frog.

“You said you had checked that you won’t bleed today. Have you checked whether you will fall down here?”

He looks at me with his small eyes, speaking pathetic: “I didn’t check. I think I will not. Please, please just let me go back. I do have acrophobia. I’m not afraid of you throw me because I know you won’t. But I am afraid about my heartache. I have very serious heartache. I’ve checked I won’t bleed today but I can’t guarantee whether I will die for the heartache. Heartache makes you die without bleeding. ”

This man is crazy! It’s the first mind comes out from my mind. I’m not a good guy but I won’t count so much with a madman. If a madman breaks the law, he will be given mercy. I was just offended by words.

I grab him back and release him. I look at him and speak with the cool tone: “Listen, I don’t care who you are and what you want to sell. I am not interested. I’m leaving now!”

I decide to go and I’m going to find the agent who introduces me here, then have his teeth missed.

“Have you even thought of change your luckiness a little bit?” That man speaks in poor.

I turn back and look at him: “I do know that how much you want, how much you need to pay for it. I believe there’s nothing good can be gotten without a price. I don’t believe any word from you. Change luckiness? If you may change someone’s luck, I may play the god directly.”

“How much you get, how much you pay?” He is showing a mysterious smile, “Mr. Chen, please don’t answer it too hurry. Do you believe there is such a thing as luckiness in the world?”

Luckiness?

I frown on him. “Are you from any religion? Are you seeking the followers? Sorry that I don’t believe in god. I just believe myself.”

“Yes!” He snaps his finger. “I don’t believe any god either. But the luckiness exists indeed. Although it can’t be seen or touched.”

I still don’t believe. “How does an invisible and untouchable thing exist?”

“Of course!” He looks at me speaking word by word, “Air is invisible and untouchable. Can you deny its existence? It’s a common sense!”
