114.The Struggle Years (Part 1)

A crowd of people hurried towards the deep water area to rescue others. Watching the gasping players being saved, Broms Murphy felt heartache. After all, they were all about to participate in the inter-school competition soon after the start of the school year! It would be troublesome if they developed aquaphobia at that time. If only he hadn't challenged him. But obviously, there is no regret in this world! When he saw Matti Janros, he felt even more terrified. He must not have any trouble!

Matti Janros had never felt such power from anyone underwater. One hand held onto his foot, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free. When those players dived down, he played with them even more, dragging them underwater as if the air in his lungs would never run out and the strength in his body would never be exhausted. He was the dragon in the water!

Somehow, he suddenly gave up playing with those players, and one by one they floated to the surface, gasping for breath. Matti Janros was also released by him, but he still had air in his lungs. He was not resigned, so when Barrett Walker wasn't paying attention, he grabbed him and dragged him into the water. He wanted to compare with him who was the king of the water. He believed that Barrett Walker was also at his weakest now.

However, to his surprise, Barrett Walker broke free from his embrace and dragged him deep into the water. With such a fierce momentum, it seemed like they were going to fight to the death. Suddenly, he was so anxious that he loosened his breath, and the water gurgled into his lungs, choking him so much that his eyes rolled back.

Barrett Walker, on the other hand, was unharmed, just quietly watching him in the water. He hurriedly floated up, about to reach the surface and breathe in air, but Barrett Walker pulled him back down, gradually moving away from the feeling of the water surface and air, making him feel extremely hopeless and oppressed.

After a few back and forth trips, his eyes became unfocused, and in the end, he didn't move in the water, unable to hold his breath any longer. He swallowed water in big mouthfuls, but suddenly felt a bright light in front of him. He was able to breathe in air, opening his mouth as if he were a fish leaving the water, eager to fill his lungs with air, but his lungs contracted too violently, causing him to cough repeatedly, continuously choking out the water from his lungs.

Matti Janros looked at the very distant and bright light above him, the white light shining into his eyes, as if it were the gates of heaven opening. He raised his hand, feeling his body flying upwards, "Heaven! I'm coming!"

Listening to Matti Janros' delirious words, Broms Murphy felt extremely heartbroken. He had almost become his disciple as soon as he entered the school. Now, watching all of his disciples being teased by one person, and Matti Janros speaking nonsense, and watching Barrett Walker leaving, he felt so much hatred in his heart!

Barrett Walker knew very well how to support himself during this time. He arrived at the commercial street in the university town, where the north-south streets were bustling with one selling goods and the other selling food. The prosperity of these two streets was comparable to that of the capital city. Whatever international brand and type of snacks one wanted, they could be found here, showing that this university town was truly worthy of its name.

Walking on this snack street, it was just getting dark, and more than seventy percent of the people passing by were students. Barrett Walker patted his pocket, which was empty except for a smartphone that he had snatched. He roamed the streets, looking for job advertisements. At the beginning of the school year, there were always temporary job vacancies to be found.

"Hmm! When did a bar open here?" Barrett Walker arrived at the most lively bar street at night and saw a new bar in a prime location. However, Barrett Walker just glanced at it in surprise, as it did not match his memory. Looking at the job advertisement displayed at the entrance, it seemed that he would not have to sleep in the swimming pool at night anymore!

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"Are you hiring here..." Barrett Walker had just entered the bar when he felt the atmosphere become heavy. It was only 7 or 8 o'clock, the time when the bar was just opening and was usually quiet. However, after entering, he saw a large group of men in black suits gathered at the door under the dim lights.

There were many peculiar phenomena in this university town. Some said that the border residents were the most ferocious in the federation, while others said it was the restless students in the university town. Although this had not been confirmed, Barrett Walker had witnessed it with his own eyes. The War God Academy dominated the university town and the entire federation, allowing the existence of the underworld. But the underworld here had evolved from initial violence to being used as the best training targets by the students from the War God Academy. Now, the underworld felt helpless in the face of the university town, as if it were a tasteless chicken bone, a pity to discard.

Looking at the men in black suits, Barrett Walker was reminded of the battle from his past life. The most miserable incident for these men was when they opened a nightclub and drugged a female student from the War God Academy. When their boss found out about it, he knew it was bad and quickly took the culprit to the War God Academy to apologize. The students from the academy then disabled the culprit, but the matter was not over yet. The students wanted the boss to lead the apology to the female student, and when the underworld members resisted, a conflict broke out. The entire university town's underworld was mobilized, and the busiest commercial street was closed for a day. The students and armed underworld members fought, and even the military and riot police only dared to watch from the sidelines. That day, the entire street was stained with blood, and dozens of nightclubs were destroyed by the students, showing how terrifying these rebellious students were.

Barrett Walker thought about that period when he had gained a lot from the chaos. He had collected a lot of cigarettes and alcohol from the nightclubs, making a large profit. Thinking about the joy, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, when the group of people noticed him, they all turned their heads to look at him.

Darcy Park, rising from the border area, coming from the Greedy Wolf Gang, and now creating the City East Sparrow Gang, owned three nightclubs and was a well-known figure in the university town. At this moment, he was dressed in a crisp white suit, wearing a matching white hat, sitting with his legs crossed opposite to Ferg Claire. Under the dim light, the cigarette smoke curled up, and suddenly, he heard laughter from outside, breaking the silence. Darcy Park wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Ferg! Just marry me!"

"Oh my! Which turtle is looking for death." After saying this, Darcy Park looked at Ferg Claire's indifferent expression and lifted the bottle on the table to knock it hard, then got up to look outside, revealing Barrett Walker smiling silly in the background.

Darcy Park looked at this skinny guy, dressed in an oversized T-shirt, looking like a non-mainstreamer. He hated non-mainstreamers, so he bypassed the sofa and went straight towards Barrett Walker. He grabbed his collar and reached out to slap him, but Barrett Walker dodged and retorted, "Who do you think you are? What's so funny?"

Barrett Walker thought about the time when he was truly happy, and he couldn't stop laughing, but when he saw the slap coming, he bent down, stopping his laughter. He looked at Ferg Claire not far away, feeling a sense of sadness, as he had been worrying about her during this time and hadn't had the chance to visit Hero City.

"You fool! How dare you look down on me." Darcy Park, with a knee, moved towards Barrett Walker's lower body.

"Ahh! Let go, let go... I'll kill your whole family!" Darcy Park's little brother was caught by Barrett Walker and couldn't do anything except hold onto Barrett Walker's hand, jumping and cursing.

"Find death, brothers, attack him." Seeing their boss subdued by Barrett Walker in a move, these henchmen immediately shouted and moved forward. However, they hadn't considered that if the strongest boss was subdued, they were no match for him.

"Don't move!" Barrett Walker added more force to his hand, causing Darcy Park to scream in pain, sounding like a duck preparing to lay eggs.

"Don't move!" Darcy Park bit his hand and angrily said, "This person's moves are no different from those in the border area! How could he be more despicable and obscene than them!"
