Skylar was tempted to laugh out loud at the face of deceit.
Out of all the things in the world, the old man had to scam them by faking an accident.
The old man could have picked a better victim than Skylar.
Skylar had the skills to swerve past an ant, much less a living, breathing person.
Besides, he had super sight.
There was no way Skylar could possibly run anyone over even if he was driving a truck with a trailer
hooked on across the busy downtown. The only explanation was that the old man jumped onto the
road on purpose.
Fixating on the old man’s ugly face, Skylar callously blurted, “Back off!”
“What did you say? Did you just tell me to back off?”
The old man gave Skylar a death stare while clutching onto the wheel. “Ladies and gentlemen! Check
this out!
“The boy ran me to the ground, but without showing any concern, he told me to f*ck myself. Where’s

“I would’ve shrugged it off, but I’m just a helpless old man. I don’t know when my next meal will be.
How am I supposed to afford a medical examination at the hospital…”
While talking, the old man broke out in tears.
His poignant storytelling choked the onlookers up.
As the crowd built up, they began to point fingers at Skylar and Yulia.
“The couple are heartless.”
“The least they could do is send the old man to the hospital after running him over. I can’t believe the
guy told the old man to f*ck off!”
“He drives a nice car, but man, he’s a cruel man. Does he think he’s above the law just because he’s
rich?”
Amid the chatter, a middle-aged man in a tracksuit came forth and indignantly comment, “Drive the old
man to the hospital now, or I’ll call the cops.”
“That’s right. Call the cops! We witnessed him crashing into the old fella.”
“I took a picture of your license plate. I’ll post the video on social media platforms and the press to
expose you if you continue to push the old man around because your family has money and
connections!
“I can promise that your family will be trolled!”
With the crowd riled up, Yulia immediately persuaded Skylar, “Why don’t we just take him to the
hospital for a check-up?”
The old man was delighted as the onlookers were on his side. Even Yulia could not see through his
scam.
He believed his goal was within reach.
While he dwelled on an early triumph, Skylar shook his head at Yulia and said, “We can’t enable these
people.”
Before Yulia could say anything, Skylar looked down at the old man and curtly barked, “Cut to the
chase. Beat it, or I’ll make you.”
“There’s still time for you to skedaddle. Otherwise, I don’t mind instilling decent values into you!”
The old man sneered in his mind.
With so many sticking up for the old man, Skylar’s hands were tied even if he knew the accident was

Despite feeling contemptuous, the old man put on a scared look and wailed, “Oh, God. Where’s the
justice?
“I’m the victim here, but he’s getting on my case before I can have a say in it!
“What are you trying to instill in me? That I should die in the accident instead?
“Oh, what a cruel world. Maybe I should die!”
The old man’s spin on the tale got things heated up as the surrounding onlookers flew into a rage.
“Boy, what’s with the cocky attitude? We are watching you. I’d stop if I were you!”
“I’m posting the video on the web right now. Wait till the hate comments flood in.”
“I don’t care who you are. No one can save you once this thing is blown up!”
Skylar did not give them any time of day.
These people fancied themselves to be vigilantes. The joke was on them because they had been
played by the old man.
The old man was probably laughing at them for being a bunch of buffoons!
Without wasting another breath, Skylar whipped out his phone to call Dianne.
“Get me two million dollars in cash. I’m about to knock someone dead!”
