Chapter 1115 A Desperate Struggle (1/2)
Walking down a street in a foreign country, Darren looked straight ahead with promise in his eyes. Between his fingers, he held a half-burnt cigarette, out of which wisps of silver grey smoke curled and danced their way through the thick, hazy air in this unknown place.
Indeed, Bill deserved a round of applause for doing such a remarkable job. After all, Darren was not only out of jail, but also out of Jacob's reach. Without Bill's help, he wouldn't have been able to set foot in F Country. Now, Darren's top priority was to avoid being seen by Jacob's men, at least until he could get his hands on the money he had safely kept hidden.
Having not taken a bath for several days in prison, the stench exuding from his body made pedestrians avoid him, as if he had some kind of a life-threatening disease. Faced with abuse and reproach, he could feel the resentment in their words even though he didn't fully understand their language.

”Hello, who is this?” Bill looked at the number on his screen with deep apprehension. For reasons not known to him, Bill felt as though something bad was going to happen to him.
”It's me, Bill! Great wits have short memories! You just got me out of jail and now you've forgotten me?” Darren mocked Bill's intelligence. In Darren's eyes, Bill was nothing but a savage man with a simple mind and a quick temper.
However, taking his dire situation into consideration, Darren had to submit to humiliation even though he didn't really respect Bill.
”Darren?”
