Chapter 908: The Inscription on the Gravestone of the Despicable——Excerpt 1


Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

I was born in a remote place in Waii Subcontinent——Blackhot City of Andaman Alliance .

Andaman Alliance was a very small alliance of cities . The total urban area of this alliance might not even match that of Class A city in Taixia Country . Of course, you could not find knights in this alliance .

Before the holy war, Andaman Alliance had been annexed by Norman Empire . My hometown Blackhot City also became a Class D city in Brunswick Province under the governance of the governor of the north border of Norman Empire . Even though before Andaman Alliance was annexed, many people who lived in the prosperous cities of Waii Subcontinent still didn't know about the location of Blackhot City of Andaman Alliance .

Not to mention those Hua people who lived in the prosperous and powerful Taixia Country .

I was a grassroots knight who grew up from a trivial person in such a remote place .

Why do I feel that I'm a grassroots knight? The most important point is that I didn't know that there was any relationship between me and Huaiyuan Palace which shocked the entire Waii Subcontinent until I was 16 .

When I was young, a copper coin meant half a bowl of rice brew . My mom supported our family by making and selling rice brew . My dad worked in a steel mill . I remember that my dad's one year's salary was 12 gold coins at that time, which could barely survive the family of 4 even in Blackhot City . Our family was very frugal at that time .

Previously, we should have five family members . Pitifully, before I came to this world, one of my elder brothers had sacrificed in a battle between Andaman Alliance and the surrounding forces in the status of a common soldier of Andaman Alliance . After that guy left our family in a very irresponsible way, I came to this world .

I think they might want me to have a longer longevity instead of just leaving the family like my elder brother; therefore, they named me Zhang Tie .

Compared to the official name Zhang Mushen, I prefer the pet name . The name Zhang Tie is very basic .

Although tie is not valuable, it's very hard . Therefore, this word reflects my life experience since I was born to the present .

. . .



My mom used to instruct me——to be a good person; instead of being a big figure!

I have been trying my best to be a good person since I was young .

When I was young, I didn't even understand the meaning of a good person . However, when I sent the remaining rice soup to the orphanage in Blackhot City by tricycle for the first time and saw the naive smiles of those orphans and my mom's reassuring smile, I had learned a preliminary definition of a good person——a good person was like those who could send remaining rice soup to orphanage .

The Grandma Teresa in the orphanage also touched my head and said I was a good person .

At that moment, I was confident that I would be a good person for the rest of my life .

I've not imagined that my wish to be a good person would be shattered after I came to Taixia for less than half a year . I'm now a totally heinous bad guy .

. . .

It's too difficult to be a good person; especially a good person who's favored by everyone else . Additionally, a good person wouldn't necessarily win people's respect or praise .

Sometimes, I wanted to be a bad guy too .

It was also in Blackhot City when I wanted to be a bad guy for the first time . It was in the Iron Thorns Fighting Club .

. . .

After finding out that I could bear being beaten at school, Captain Kerlin the military representative and director of the Seventh National Male Middle School in Blackhot City introduced a promising job to me in the fighting club out of pity and "kindness" .



I still remember Captain Kerlin's words which he said that day .

"I have a precious part-time social practice position for you . It's highly paid . Besides, you could touch many rich and influential figures and broaden your horizon . If you could do a good job, you will improve your battle strength greatly . You could even have a chance to contact with those beauties over there . Many people begged me for that job; however, I disagreed; I find you're the most proper person for this job!"

When I heard these words at the beginning, I felt that Captain Kerlin was the most lovable person in this world . I felt that the halos of a good person finally brought me a good luck and I saw a narrow chance for me to improve my poor life .

At that moment, I was doing a part-time job in a grocery as an apprentice in Blackhot City . The boss of the grocery was a miser . I didn't gain any pay after 2 years of job .

When in the Seventh National Male Middle School in Blackhot City, all the male students in their puberty became wild animals being dominated by male hormone .

At school, we didn't call each other students; instead, we called each other animals .

Therefore, I desired about this job through which I could make money, enjoying beauties and "have an intimate contact with beauties" .

The location of this job was Avenue Bright, the most prosperous place in Blackhot City .

I felt that I was going to have a bright future .

. . .

On the next day since Captain Kerlin introduced that job to me, with a nervous yet ambitious feeling, I came to the Avenue Bright . Holding my breath, I entered the gate of the Iron Thorns Fighting Club which was guarded by warriors in armor .

A beauty was standing behind the counter of the lobby . At her 20s, she wore a black tight vest and a pair of white tight sweatpants with a ponytail . At the sight of her genial smile and air of youth, my heart had started to pound .

This woman was called Mary, the first female who drove me to be a bad guy .

After knowing that I was here to apply for a job in the fighting club, she came out of the counter and led me to the manager's room .

Walking behind her and watching her "twisting" butt, a wildfire of hope to be a real man started to burn in my heart . Closely after that, I stammered, "Hi . . . hello, I . . . I am Zhang Tie, what's your name?"

I think my voice must be trembling at that moment .

Mary stopped as she threw a glance at my face and my clothes which indicated my identity and background, with an icy and ironical eye light she said, "Actually, you don't have to know my name . Although we're all here to make money, you should know that there would be no relationship between you and me for the rest of our lives . Stop daydreaming . . . "

What a shame!

After hearing this reply, my face turned pale . My heart ached as if it was stabbed by someone . In a split second, I didn't know how should I respond to her . Perhaps, I should face her in a mild and calm way; however, with a complex mood combining fury which was caused by being despised and braveness, I forcefully caught her shoulders and pushed her against the wall . When she was scared so much that she even became flurried, I thrust my waist and hit her twice in the form of "piston movement" . At the same time, I told her furiously that I would definitely let her crawl to me and beg me to f*ck her one day .

This obscene movement could never be made by a good person .

Such words could not be told to a 20-year old beauty by a good person either .

I felt that I was a bad guy; therefore, I was pretty scared inside .

Luckily, Mary didn't shout loudly . Although she despised me furiously, she still led me to the manager's office .

It was my first time to be a bad guy who let such a beautiful girl feel shameful and hide her distant and derisive face .

In the manager's office, I saw the manager of this fighting club and learned about the "promising job"——highly paid, improving physical health, having intimate contacts with big figures and broaden my horizon in a high-end place .

It was called a ladder player, which had another name in the fighting club——human flesh bag! Those rich people in the fighting club didn't feel cool to only hit sandbags; they required a mobile sandbag for their exercise . I was the very mobile sandbag .

The working time of this part-time job was 6 pm to 11 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday . The compensation per hour was 70 copper coins . If I was late on the very day, the compensation for the very day would be deducted . The compensation would be paid weekly . I might get a tip from guests .

On the day I went there, a human flesh bag had just resigned; therefore, in order to keep me, the manager added 10 more copper coins per hour for me .

80 copper coins per hour! I adopted it willingly even though my job was to be beaten by others!

It was my first paid job .

During the first time, I was hit and passed out in the fighting club the moment the training started . I gradually woke up after being carried out of the training room .

It was too late when I went back home that night . My father asked me the reason .

I told him that my teacher introduced a highly paid part-time job for me . I could contact a lot of rich and powerful person through this job . When I was free, I could even do physical exercises . Additionally, there were many beauties over there . I even met a beauty who praised me that I was ambitious and a daydreamer!

My dad and mom burst out into laughter at the same time .

. . .

Now, I see, this encounter with Mary in the fighting club might be the premonition of my current encounter, through which, the Almighty God wanted to show me a point .

——At a point in my life, a woman changed me from a good person to a bad person .

Mary was the first one, but not the last .
