"Riki, only you can help me now, so please..."

"Didn't I tell you not to come see me again? I found you a good job, so what else do you want now? I know you're my brother, but—"

Riki stopped talking when Anton suddenly approached him and knelt in front of him. Of course, Riki was surprised. He didn't expect Anton, who used to be so arrogant and conceited in front of him, to now be kneeling, holding Riki's feet while looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"Riki... yes, I am grateful for what you have given me. You also helped me with all of that, even though my father and mother have been arrested. However, it turns out that some of their properties will be seized by the bank. They have a lot of debt, and my brother ran away to another country and is working there. He said he didn't want to know and didn't want to be burdened by anything. I have contacted the bank, and they said that I can get the rights to some of those properties as long as I pay off all my parents' debts. I know you can do it for me, right? I won't ask for it for free. I promise I'll work for you for the rest of my life, as long as you help me get my property back. I know they weren't good parents, even my father—I mean, my mother's husband—abused me many times. But the house, the villa... all of those things hold memories that I can't forget. I beg you, you can reduce my salary for—"

"Enough, Anton!"

Riki was very confused by everything Anton said. He could see how desperate Anton was at that moment, he even cried and knelt in front of Riki. It made Riki very uncomfortable, but also sorry for him.

Riki never imagined in his life that he would feel sorry for someone like Anton.

This was completely crazy.

But this time, Riki's view of Anton was very different.

If he used to look at Anton with arrogance, always bragging about himself and often bothering Riki, now Riki looked at Anton only as a pitiful young man, who was very weak and had no one to lean on. He even had to lower his ego to beg Riki like that.

There was also a sense of satisfaction in Riki's heart, seeing Anton like that. But Riki was essentially a good person, born into a very good family. So, it was inevitable that he felt pity for Anton.

Damn.

After all, that day, Riki would get double the money if he spent it on Anton. So, let's just say Riki was taking advantage of the situation.

"Okay, Anton, I'll help you. Tell me how much money I have to pay to save your house and villa," said Riki.

Hearing that, Anton immediately got up and hugged Riki tightly.

Anton was about three centimeters shorter than Riki, but he was much more muscular. So Riki felt like he was being crushed rather than hugged.

"A-Anton... I can't breathe, let go!"

Anton released Riki, smiled broadly, then hugged Riki again— or crushed Riki.

"Thank you, Riki!! I'll do anything for you, I'll even be your slave, as long as you forgive me!"

Riki pushed Anton's shoulders, annoyed that Anton wasn't listening to him.

"If you want me to forgive you, or want me to be happy, then stay away from me! And don't overdo it, I don't want to make you my slave or anything, you think—"

"Thank you, Riki, you're so kind!" Anton interrupted Riki's unfinished sentence and hugged Riki again.

This time, Riki gave in. He just showed his displeasure, but Anton didn't care at all. In Anton's mind, he just didn't want his parents' house, villa, and some other belongings to be seized by the bank.

"Let go and quickly tell me how much debt is owed to the bank!"

Anton released his embrace, then reached into his pocket and took out his smartphone. He contacted the bank, and the bank said they would come to Anton and Riki's location directly. The bank also sounded very happy when Anton said that his brother would pay off all the debts.

While waiting for the bank to arrive, Anton, who was feeling excited, offered to help Evan. Meanwhile, Riki sat back down in the gazebo alone, calming his unsettled heart.

Riki smiled slightly when he saw that his status had changed and that he had gained a level just for helping Anton.

It was like a joke that wasn't funny at all. For some reason, Riki suddenly felt sympathy for Anton.

"Hey."

Kaivan suddenly appeared in front of Riki, then turned to Anton, who was helping Evan and the workers. Then he looked back at Riki.

Kaivan said, "The bank guy is here, looking for you."

Riki nodded, then immediately got down from the gazebo to meet the bank guy.

"What's going on? Do you owe money to the bank, or are they trying to offer you something new?" asked Kaivan, following Riki from behind.

Riki shook his head, "No, it's Anton again."

Riki's answer made Kaivan fall silent. But that didn't mean he wasn't curious. He stayed with Riki, sat in the living room and listened to their conversation without saying anything.

After finding out what had happened, Kaivan was quite surprised. How could he not be? He himself knew how Anton and his friends had often bullied Riki. Anton had even deliberately stolen Riki's girlfriend, Hannah, just to make Riki angry.

But suddenly it turned out that Anton was also the son of his father before his father married Riki's mother. Riki had even found a good job for Anton and provided him with temporary accommodation.

Now, Riki was helping to pay off Anton's parents' debts so that their house and villa would not be seized again.

In fact, the total debt amounted to around three million dollars.

That's crazy.

And Riki is helping Anton with all that? Is Riki stupid, or does he really have a pure heart? Kaivan didn't understand.

No wonder Liz and Angeline really liked Riki, who in Kaivan's eyes had always seemed like a handsome but stupid young man.

[You have paid off Anton's parents' debt]

[You have received a cashback of six million dollars]

Riki didn't know whether to be happy or not when he saw the notification from the system. Kaivan must think he is very stupid for doing all that for Anton.

"If I were you, I would demand Anton to give you the villa, and let Anton keep the house," said Kaivan, after the bank officials had left.

Riki turned to him and shook his head, "No need, I already have this mansion, I don't need any more villas. But don't worry, I'll drain Anton's energy and brain even more to repay all this kindness," said Riki.

Kaivan chuckled when he heard this, which annoyed Riki greatly.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Riki.

Kaivan shook his head, "No, it's just... you're too kind, Riki. So kind that people will think you're stupid. You've seen the news out there, right? There was a boy who shot his classmates because he had been bullied for so long. I know you must have been furious when you found out that Anton was your brother. What's more, Anton came to you for help. If I were you, I might have kicked him out, but you... why are you so kind, Riki?" Kaivan asked, truly surprised and unable to believe there was a young man like Riki.

Riki himself laughed when he heard this. He also felt that he was very silly.

"I know that, Kaivan, I know... I am very stupid, silly. There's no one as stupid as me in this world. I said I would use Anton later just to amuse myself. But, at least, I won't be so stupid as to let my enemies bring me down later. I helped Anton because I knew he couldn't fight me. Uh, maybe this is also a way to calm myself down, I don't know."

Kaivan smiled, then he patted Riki on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, bro. It's precisely because you're too kind, to the point of being very stupid, that I've started to like you. Let's be good friends and work together. I think if I had a brother-in-law like you, it would be a lot of fun."

Riki laughed when he heard that.

"Are you sure, Kaivan?"

Kaivan nodded, "Yeah, I'm very sure. Because there's no man better than you for Liz."

"You're exaggerating."

"I'm serious this time, but if you mess around, you know I'll take my words back, right?"

"Oh, my gosh, that's scary."

"I'll take my words back!"

"Kaivan! I was just joking."
